  • Family-run Edale site at the start of the Pennine Way
  • A 20-minute drive from Ladybower Reservoir; 25 minutes from Buxton
  • Half a mile from a café, pub, railway station and visitor centre
Whether you're looking to get a toehold on craggy rock faces or fancy a taste of slow-paced village life, you can't go far wrong with a stay at this fab Peak District park. Head to Newfold Farm Campsite for hols full of hikes, cycles and hilly explores – the start of the long-distance Pennine Way is a few steps from the site entrance, with many other top rural spots a short drive away. Newbies seeking tips on what to get up to in the local area will be in good hands here – this family-run site is owned and operated by born-and-bred Edale folk who are more than happy to share their wisdom. The community-minded village is also home to a volunteer-run visitor centre, an independent café, a pizzeria and a lovely local pub. A railway station is less than half a mile away from base, so leaving the car at home is definitely an option for those heading here. Not that driving is an unpleasant business in this part of the world – on the road you'll pass by oodles of historic villages, valley views and grand country houses, including spectacular Chatsworth House… Dogs are welcome to join you at Newfold Farm Campsite; barbecues and bonfires are also allowed.

What customers say

Newfold Farm is praised for its stunning Peak District location, ideal for walkers with routes directly from the site. Visitors highlight the friendly staff, excellent on-site cafe, and convenient shop. While recent reviews confirm the installation of new, modern toilet and shower facilities, older reviews note dated aspects. Pitches are generally spacious, though some mention a slope. The site is noted for being peaceful after 10 pm, and close proximity to local pubs is a plus.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked We come multiple times a year as we love the site and quiet location. Well maintained pitches as always

Disliked The show block/toilets need more frequent cleaning, it was the same last year when we went in the summer holidays. The new shower stalls were also smelly and mouldy, they need a deep clean.

Bell tent (couples only, deluxe)

Liked Location is great...right on the Pennine Way and easy access to good walking and caving. Train station a short walk away.
Two pubs, serving great food, a short walk away as well as good cafe on site. Some themed evenings serving outdoor food too.
Good facilities which the team work hard to keep clean and well maintained.
Great mix of people from the tents, touring pitches and onsite bell tent accommodation.

Local attractions

Draw a straight line from this well-placed site and you're bound to come across something that tickles your fancy. Heading west? Stop off for strolls at Ladybower Reservoir (25 minutes' drive). South? Buxton's fancy shops and theatres are on hand, as are the gorgeous grounds of Chatsworth House (40 minutes). Up for some underground explores? This site is a breezy 15-minute drive from Castleton, a village deep in the White Peak where there are caves and caverns aplenty. Bobbing up and down along underground watercourses is on the cards at Speedwell Cavern, where subterranean boat trips are up for grabs. The nearby Blue John Cavern, meanwhile, also has much to marvel at, including Waterfall Cavern and its shimmering multi-coloured dome… When you emerge bleary-eyed back into broad daylight, you’ll probably be struck by the shadow of mighty Mam Tor (10 minutes from base). Hike up this handsome hill for a three-mile circular trail that'll stretch your legs and open your eyes to some exceptional vistas – on sunny days you'll also likely have the bonus sight of daredevil paragliders circling and swooping overhead.
