  • Peaceful Peak District pop-up site 20 minutes’ drive from Buxton
  • The Monsal Trail 10 minutes’ drive and Chatsworth House 25 minutes
  • Off-grid camping with stunning views; pubs and shop five minutes’ walk
There’s little more relaxing than being out hiking or cycling in the Peak District National Park and winding up your day in the comfort of a pub five minutes’ walk from your campsite. And that’s exactly what you can do when you book in at Needams Camping, a back-to-basics pop-up site sitting above the village of Litton, 20 minutes’ drive from Buxton in Derbyshire. The pitches are in a large field (sloping in places) with fantastic views over the village and the surrounding hills and dales. Mains water is available and there are portable loos on the edge of the meadow, but apart from that, you’re on your own – meaning there are no showers and the whole site is off-grid (don’t forget the torches). There are numerous walks, bike rides and testing hikes in the national park; the closest to Needams Camping is The Monsal Trail (10 minutes’ drive), open for use by walkers and cyclists. And if you don’t fancy eating in the pub of an evening, barbecues are allowed on site and you can pick up all you need for a decent grill-up from the village shop.

What customers say

Peaceful, basic campsite on a working farm. Praised for rural setting, hills & views. Exceptionally clean portaloos & quiet vibe. Ideal for a relaxing escape. Some found signage unclear. Welcoming host. Some noted sloped pitches; arrive early for flatter spots.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Loved it. Basic but clean. All you need for a stress free break. Views to die for. As much space as you want. Great local pub for a beer (book early if you want food) Can't moan for £20 and you just tip up. No signing in or out, totally wonderful

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Site is clean, tidy and enclosed which made it great for my 4 year old's first tent camping trip. Toilet facilities were spotless. Very peaceful.

Disliked A great deal of the site is on a slope so early arrival to secure the flatter spots at the top of the site would be adviseable.

Local attractions

Done The Monsal Trail (10 minutes’ drive) and looking for a few days of pottering? Take time out amid the Georgian architecture of Buxton (20 minutes), head for Bakewell (15 minutes) on the River Wye to taste some of its legendary puddings, or have a nose around photogenic Tideswell (five minutes) – be sure to have a look in the village’s vast 14th-century church, nicknamed the ‘Cathedral of the Peak’. Chatsworth House (25 minutes) is one of the region’s biggest attractions, with priceless decorative arts in the house and Capability Brown-designed parkland; it also has workshops, a petting farm and playgrounds for children. Thornbridge Estate (15 minutes) makes a fun day out for younger kids; they can fish plastic ducks out of a fountain, encounter fairytale figures in the woods and follow nature trails. If prehistory is your thing, head to Arbor Low Stone Circle and Gib Hill Barrow (25 minutes), a collapsed neolithic stone circle and Bronze Age burial mound on high moorland. There are more ancient relics at Nine Ladies Stone Circle (half an hour), reached by a ramble across Stanton Moor.
