  • Well-kept family site in the Peak District National Park’s Hope Valley
  • Pennine Way start 15 minutes’ drive; Chatsworth House half an hour
  • Peaceful tree-shaded pitches with modern facilities
Set in Derbyshire’s Peak District National Park, Hope Valley has an excellent location between the villages of Hope and Bamford in the lush Hope Valley, with easy access to the Castleton caves and climbing at Mam Tor, Stanage Edge and Kinder Scout all within 25 minutes’ drive. The site has pitches across several peaceful and tree-lined fields, with one central heated shower and toilet block. The owners have put the natural environment at the centre of everything they do; there are wildflower borders around every field, and the mature woodland surrounding the site is awash with wildflowers in spring and summer. Numerous birds and animals visit too, and a quiet hour spent on your pitch may well reveal the wildlife that shares your space. Barbecues are welcome on the grassy pitches, but those who fancy sampling the Derbyshire gourmet scene can head to a pub about five minutes’ away on foot. Easy meals? A takeaway in Hope (25 minutes’ walk) will also deliver to your pitch. There are numerous cafés, bars and restaurants in postcard-pretty Hathersage (five minutes’ drive), and a well-known fine-dining pub around 10 minutes away by car. A trainline is at the back of the site.

What customers say

This is a spacious and well-maintained campsite with friendly and accommodating owners. Facilities are consistently praised as clean and modern, with a popular games room offering various activities and shared fridge/freezer space. The location is ideal for exploring the Peak District, with nearby pubs and walking trails. A recurring point is the proximity to a train line, which can cause noise disturbances for some, particularly light sleepers. Owners are actively addressing feedback regarding water pressure and facility expansion.

My three teenage children really enjoyed the games. Room spent quality time together during our stay.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Lovely welcome, shown options of where to pitch and where all facilities were. Felt comfortable to ask questions for help if we need to.
Excellent location, walkable 10 mins to pub and on into hope, there is also regular bus service to castleton and beyond.
Excellent base for mam torr and kinder.
Toilets and shower block clean and up to date. Shower is your own cubicle with plenty of hooks for clothes and is big enough to shower and change in. Washing up facilities good with washing up liquid, dish brush and washing up bowl.
There is an out building with; fridges, freezer, pool table, darts, table tennis. It's also a great bolt hole for those with small tents needing to sit inside if poor weather. You could change phone if no power bank.
Plenty of space on pitches.
Super excited to see what they do with the cafe and expansion plans.
Will definitely be back
Thanks for such a lovely stay

Disliked There was intermittent low water pressure but this is due to the water company supply and the owners are trying everything they can to improve it. It did not stop us from showering, just took a little longer and it would not put us off coming back.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Fantastic location, close to all the nearby tourist attractions without feeling touristy. Plenty of space across the multiple fields, including a family field and an adult field. Top notch facilities, seemed brand new and cleaned throughout the day. Great washing up station with plenty of stocked sinks. Lovely owners, with plenty of advice for the local area. They recommended The Curry Cabin and it was fabulous food! We loved the site so much we asked to stay longer! Will definitely be back with the kids next summer.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Clean facilities, electric showers, games room providing activities for an evening, location.

Disliked The trainline which ran directly next to the campsite and consistently had trains running on it throughout the night, which was mentioned in one sentence, at the end of a long paragraph.

Liked Great location, well-maintained fields, clear signage, immaculate toilets and showers and washing area, helpful host, fun games room.

Disliked I know there's nothing the hosts can do about it and they make it very clear before booking, but the train line is very loud. However, we fetched earplugs and it was fine.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The pitches were very comfy and shaded, and it was a calm and lovely place. Everything you need is provided, including free hot showers, hot water at the washing area and clean toilets. There are also fridges available for storage.

Disliked I had a very positive experience at this campsite. The only minor issue is that, if you want a proper hot shower, you have to time it right (especially at weekends).

You can also follow family-centric trails around Derwent valleys and reservoirs – there are spectacular views from the Derwent Dam viewpoint (15 minutes). Lively Bakewell (25 minutes) has lots of smart shops and is gateway to the trails and bike paths of the Derbyshire Dales.

Alternatively, wait for a sunny day and head for Hathersage (five minutes) for a family splash around in the outdoor swimming pool.
