Castleton Camping

Μου άρεσε Fabulous relaxed campsite in a great location. Set in beautiful countryside and only a 20 minute walk into the lovely Castleton. Toilets clean with washing up facilities. No showers but not a problem if you can do without.

Μου άρεσε Nice to be able to choose where you park and there’s plenty of room if you want to be away from others.

The toilets are exceptionally clean.

Honesty boxes are great.

Μου άρεσε A lovely, peaceful and relaxed atmosphere. Friendly touches (such as the honesty box filled with homemaker goodies, bottles of water, marshmallows, etc). Great that the site permits both bbqs and fires. A very nice environment for our kids first camping experience

Δεν μου άρεσε Nothing - everything was as advertised and expected. A great place to camp

Μου άρεσε Location was excellent and site was not too busy. There was cold running water and one sink to wash up.

View up to Mam Tor and about 30 mins walk to Castleton. Take cash if you plan to use honesty box.

Excellent phone signal!

Δεν μου άρεσε Toilets were grim. We knew there’d be no hot water or showers but didn’t expect toilets to be as they were.

No one on site to watch over things on site so a couple of groups of youngsters were up into the early hours being noisy.

Μου άρεσε A really beautiful location and the lady who was running it (and working really hard) was very helpful, welcoming and friendly. She kept the toilets clean and came round regularly too, to sell wood etc.

Δεν μου άρεσε No shower facilities

Μου άρεσε Second visit to Castleton Camping and following our trip previously, we had no hesitation about coming back to the same site, despite others offering additional amenities, such as showers.
Decent pitch offering with the route to Mam Tor close by, great friendly atmosphere with fellow campers, and excellent hosts and staff. Noticed the upgraded toilets which made a big difference for the kids with us, and made use of the honesty box which was well stocked. Will be back again next year!

Μου άρεσε Large field in a perfect spot for Mam Tor hikes.

Decently priced too, even at late notice.

A well-stocked honesty box and a lovely coffee trailer on the weekends was a really nice touch.

Δεν μου άρεσε The site is overall great, we had an amazing time using it as a base camp for our hikes - but there are a few things you'll want to keep in mind, especially during peak times:

The toilet situation is pretty dire - you can't tell when someone's using the toilet, so you constantly have people trying the door while you're in there. The toilets were a bit knackered, too, but at least they were (somewhat) clean.

A lady drives round each pitch in a range rover every morning/night, and she will charge you more if you have more than one tent per pitch - something we didn't realise, so good to keep that in mind. Quite funny as our small, close-knit tents were taking up less room than most other pitches, but rules are rules I suppose - just something to keep in mind if you're travelling as a group.

It's supposedly a 'quiet site', but we had it all during our stay - people blasting music, having full-on shouting matches at 1am, and people getting super drunk and being very loud until the early hours of the morning. Wasn't a huge issue for us - we were there at a peak time, so it's to be expected really. Just something to consider if you're camping with kids, etc.

Μου άρεσε Simple and easy, no frills camping at a good price. Very spacious even on Bank Holiday weekend.

Δεν μου άρεσε No showers, but that was specified so wasn't a shock!

Plenty of space

A honestly box hut full of essentials (we didn't use but thought it was a lovely touch)
