What customers say
Amazing Peak District views & serene vibes. Guests rave about the welcoming owner, Stephanie, and spotless facilities, especially the showers. Perfect for walks to Castleton & Mam Tor. Some note a need for more toilets during peak times & occasional camper noise.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked really emptied out on Sunday, and we had almost the whole site to ourselves which was nice. beautiful views and close by to toll bar fish and chips which was excellent!
Disliked unfortunately due to storm floris our tent was ripped to pieces when we came back from a day out - no fault of the campsites though! we packed up sharpish and headed for home a day early.

Great campsite, Fantastic views.
Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked Booked for 2 nights, absolutely lovely spot, plenty of room for camping. Toilet blocks and showers very clean. The owner was very friendly and prided her business by looking after everything, from cleaning the toilets, replenishing toilet roll and checking everything was ok always was onsite for a chat, just a lovely person. I really enjoyed my stay with my partner and Jack russell. I will definitely returning.
Disliked Nothing at all

Badly managed campsite.
Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked The views are nice and location is good.
Disliked Over crammed field.
No set boundaries for the pitch, which means its a free for all and very limited space.
One pitch had 9 tents and 4 cars!
People smoking weed in the evening.
Not enough facilities for the amount of people.
Camping rules are not followed, with dogs off the lead.
Has the potential to be a nice campsite, but due to the above, we wouldn't return.

Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked Good location, nice views. Despite huge amount of people using facilities the owner tried to keep on top of restocking.
Disliked As many people as possible were crammed in to the fields leaving no open space between pitches. Too many people let in for the facilities on site. Particularly problematic on night two when a third field was opened up.
