A no-frills Peak District campsite, great for hikers and cyclists. Reviews highlight spacious pitches, stunning views, and a peaceful vibe. Clean loos and water are standard. Owners are friendly. Road noise and occasional loud music were mentioned, and a lack of showers was expected.

Liked The views were good, and it has a relaxing vide.
Disliked Porter Loos, water supply. It’s about as basic as it comes but for £10 a night you can’t really fault it to much.

Liked Nothing to like
Disliked This is a pop up campsite next to Heather Hill Campsite and is nothing other than a field with a small row of about 4 portaloos. When I rang trying to find it, they were so rude just saying repeatedly, "I don't understand why you can't see it!" The reason I couldn't see it was because the one sign on the gate had fallen down. Also on the site, a strong smell of weed - not ideal for me and my 7 year old son.

From the manager: Really sorry to see you didn’t enjoy your stay at Hope valley campsite we are definitely the real Hope valley campsite that clearly states on the website we are a pop up site with portaloos we are farmers that open our lovely field in a beautiful location for campers to come and enjoy the local area it seems like you didn’t read the website before booking we don’t claim to be anything we are not and also don’t read the instructions to get to us we had over 30 other campers arrive the same day as you with no problem
Also drugs are prohibited we will be monitoring this

Nice and quiet, get what you pay for and what you read on the website

Disliked We were unsure whether the water was drinking water (signage would have been nice for peace of mind)
Also lots of flies around when we were there

Field and other campers was lovely.…
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Field and other campers was lovely.
Disliked The toilets was disgusting, very smelly and unhygienic, overflowing at one point this seriously needs addressing

Wrote more in negative than positive, but the experience was fantastic
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Quiet, great location, camping next to the water was lovely, 10 minute walk from a 24hr shop/petrol station, clean field, well maintained
Conversely what I’ve written as a negative (low staff presence) did make it feel more like wild camping and less part of a campsite, so that did feel like a benefit. 30 second conversation for car reg and proving our booking and then we were left to our own devices.
Disliked Bit of a lack of online presence, nothing on Google maps, called the neighbouring camp by accident and they’ve said it was a reoccurring issue, nobody really there to check or greet us till later, so we felt a bit strange just putting our tent up and leaving again
Small smell around the bathrooms but you expect a plastic portaloo to smell during a horrendous drought and heatwave
