  • Working farm site in the Peak District with far-reaching views
  • A mile and a half from Mam Tor via a path; Castleton a mile
  • Next to a pop-up café (open weekends); dogs allowed
Hankering for a stunningly rugged landscape full of opportunities for hiking, cycling, climbing and other outdoor activities? On a working farm within the Peak District National Park, Castleton Camping is the place to be. Regardless of whether you've come here to scale Mam Tor, the high peak a mile and a half from the site that’s accessible via a footpath, or whether you simply fancy a change of scenery, a stay at this laidback rural site opens up ample possibilities. This place is half a mile from the small village of Castleton, which is well-served by pubs and cafés. It’s a peaceful area and those of you who like your breaks full of rural hikes will be happy to find that there’s great access to local footpaths, many of which can be reached straight from the farm gates. If you need a light bite before you set off down yonder, a small pop-up café just next to the site is open on weekends for snacks. The amenities here are simple, with just a portable toilet available, but self-sustaining guests are welcome to set up campfires and barbecues. Please note that Castleton Campsite does not have running water. Castleton Camping also embraces well-behaved dogs but asks that they are kept on a lead at all times when around the site.

What customers say

This campsite offers a stunning location with breathtaking views, ideal for exploring Mam Tor and Castleton. Visitors frequently praise the exceptional cleanliness of the toilets and the overall well-maintained site. The friendly and helpful host, along with the convenience of the honesty box for supplies, are highlighted as positive aspects. While basic facilities are noted, they are consistently described as spotless. Some guests mention occasional noise and the unevenness of the ground, but the peaceful atmosphere and proximity to excellent walking routes make it a highly recommended destination for short stays.

Liked lovely site with great views with paths accessible from the site. toilets were kept clean and well stocked.

Liked Fantastic location, very chilled out campsite. Excellent toilets kept spotless. Loved the fact that it was so basic. The owner was really friendly. Perfect to get to Castleton and out on the hill without using the car.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked Great location to village and to walks
Toilets clean
Love the honesty box

Disliked Didn’t dislike anything. I do think showers would have made it perfect, even if it was pay as you go showers, especially after a long day walking.
However we knew there wasn’t showers when we booked so still gave full marks.

Local attractions

With lots of historic sites to see, landscapes to hike and caverns to descend into, the first bit is deciding where to start. For days hiking, the Pennine Way starts in Edale (15 minutes’ drive) and heads out onto moors, past reservoirs and gritstone edges. A hike with a view is certain at Ladybower Reservoir (15 minutes) too. Five miles through Cave Dale (30 minutes' walk), a limestone valley, is just as splendid. Places you might want to visit on the way include Castleton village and Peveril Castle - and there are views towards Mam Tor and The Great Ridge too. Caverns on your ‘to-explore’ list? Take an underground boat trip in Speedwell Cavern (35 minutes), investigate the Blue John stone in Treak Cliff Cavern (five minutes' drive) or learn rope-making in Peak Cavern (25 minutes' walk). When it’s time to extend your learning to history in the Peak District, Peveril Castle (25 minutes) above Castleton village is one the closest ruins. For somewhere that has survived the test of time, and now makes a rather excellent picnicking location, is Chatsworth House (30 minutes' drive). The estate also has a farmyard and playground.
