  • Family-friendly wild camping in the parish of Bradfield
  • Hilltop location with moorland views on the edge of the Peak District
  • Spacious grass pitches with stunning views
Set on the edge of the Peak District National Park, East Peak Campsite is a pop-up on the outskirts of the village of Dungworth in South Yorkshire. With spectacular views to moorland, the hilltop camping field is flat, peaceful and well away from the sound of traffic. It also catches any available sunshine right from sunrise through to sunset. This family-friendly, back-to-basics site has grass pitches (there are no electric hook-ups), a few event-style toilets and a drinking water tap on the camping field. From the pitches, you can soon be exploring the area on a network of footpaths leading through fields and woodland. While barbecues and firepits are allowed on the pitches, please make sure they’re raised off the ground to reduce the risk of fire spreading. There's also a strict no-music policy on site to keep things peaceful. East Peak Campsite is a handy base for road cyclists, with routes leading into the national park. Likewise, rock climbers looking for grit can easily access the East Peak crags – Agden Rocher crag is visible from the camping field, and popular climbing spots such as Rivelin, Bamford and Stanage are all within 20 minutes’ drive. If you’re backpacking or would rather abandon the car while you’re on site, it's handy that the local bus stop is 10 minutes’ walk away, with an hourly service. If you’ve got any questions about where to go and what to see, ask a member of staff – they’ll be happy to help in any way they can.

What customers say

This campsite offers spacious, peaceful pitches with spectacular views, close to Peak District attractions. Visitors highlight the friendly and helpful owner, Patrick, and praise the immaculately clean portaloos and available drinking water. While facilities are basic, the site is considered excellent value for money. Occasional noise from other campers was mentioned, and some found the site exposed to the elements, but the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many intending to return.

Wendy H.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked East Peak site was basically two grass fields with two portaloos on top of a hill but the views were great and it was a very convenient location for exploring the north east area of the Peak District. Patrick the owner was friendly and helpful. He was there a lot of the time looking after the site and the toilets were kept immaculately clean. He gave us useful information on local places to eat and visit. There was plenty of space between tents/campervans and the site was fairly level. It was peaceful and had a calm atmosphere. The cost per person was low, making the site very good value for money if you like 'no frills' camping.

Disliked A bit exposed to the elements as it was fairly wet and windy during our stay but no real problems.

Local attractions

Taking life slowly? Stroll down to Our Cow Molly (15 minutes' walk), where you can buy milk and eggs if you're running short of supplies. Bradfield village (10 minutes’ drive) has an inviting pub, a café/bistro and a lovely picnic spot by the river Loxley. Ease the kids gently into outdoor life with meanders around local reservoirs such as Damflask (five minutes) and Agden (10 minutes). Alternatively, get cracking on adrenaline-inducing activities straight away with off-road cycling adventures in the Peak District National Park (five minutes), or rock climbing on challenging crags such as Agden Rocher and Rivelin Edge (both 10 minutes). Spend the day in pretty Castleton village (25 minutes), touring the four show caves, climbing up to Peveril Castle (five minutes’ walk from the village) or wandering footpaths in the Hope Valley. For an urban trip out, have a potter around the vast Winter Garden glasshouse or tour the former foundry at Kelham Island Museum in Sheffield (20 minutes’ drive). The site is an excellent base for exploring the Peak District National Park and its attractions such as Stanage Edge (20 minutes) renowned for gritstone climbing or the Derwent Valley (10 minutes) and cycle hire at the Upper Derwent Visitor Centre (15 minutes). It's also conveniently located on the far outskirts of Sheffield (20 minutes), which is handy for those who want to visit the outdoorsy city, which is easily reachable by bus, car or taxi.
