Castleton Camping

Positiv Firstly, you simply cannot please everyone. It’s impossible. Some people will complain no matter what, even when things have been made very clear. It has been stated countless times that there are no showers. There was also a tap for drinking water, although obviously it wasn’t inside the toilet block 😂 — it was about 10 metres away.

Apart from that, the location is fantastic. The host is genuinely lovely, and the toilet facilities are spotless — unless, of course, people leave them in a mess themselves.

Around 12:30am, I had to call the host because a group of people were being exceptionally loud and inconsiderate. She came over straight away and spoke to them. I also noticed her checking again around 3am. Some people may still find things to complain about, but you have to be fair: there is only so much a host can do.

What impressed me was that she was back again around 8am, cleaning the toilet area, and then running her little trailer shop.

Genuinely, if you’re looking for a good camping experience, this is a fantastic place. But if you’re determined to look for problems, you’ll find them anywhere.

Positiv The owner was lovely, the toilets were kept clean and tidy. There were two honesty boxes that were full of goodies.

The view was amazing too, easy access to mam tor from the campsite and a short 15 minute drive to ladybower. The campsite was also pretty easy to find as well. 25 minute walk to castleton center as well, plenty of pubs and food.

Wasn’t particularly busy but I think that’s due to the bad weather, the site is big anyway and plenty of flat spaces to pitch up.

Me and my partner would 100% stay at this campsite again, hopefully it won’t rain next time.

Positiv Fabulous location.
Clean toilets & spacious pitches
Nice touch of a well stocked honesty cupboard

Negativ The site was busy (a Saturday night) so queuing for the toilets.
Only one wash up sink, which people were using for brushing teeth.

Positiv The location is brilliant. You can walk easily up to the ridge. And you can see Mam Tor from your breakfast table. The whole field is covered in lush grass and you can set up wherever, there are no designated pitches.

There are only 4 unisex toilets though, so there is often a queue and there are no showers at all. There is one narrow single road leading to the site but if you time it right, you might be lucky not to have anyone coming the other way.

It is a great place for an overnight stop but the lack of showers might be an issue after a couple of days.
