  • Working farm site in the Peak District with far-reaching views
  • A mile and a half from Mam Tor via a path; Castleton a mile
  • Next to a pop-up café (open weekends); dogs allowed
Hankering for a stunningly rugged landscape full of opportunities for hiking, cycling, climbing and other outdoor activities? On a working farm within the Peak District National Park, Castleton Camping is the place to be. Regardless of whether you've come here to scale Mam Tor, the high peak a mile and a half from the site that’s accessible via a footpath, or whether you simply fancy a change of scenery, a stay at this laidback rural site opens up ample possibilities. This place is half a mile from the small village of Castleton, which is well-served by pubs and cafés. It’s a peaceful area and those of you who like your breaks full of rural hikes will be happy to find that there’s great access to local footpaths, many of which can be reached straight from the farm gates. If you need a light bite before you set off down yonder, a small pop-up café just next to the site is open on weekends for snacks. The amenities here are simple, with just a toilet block and drinking water point. Self-sustaining guests are welcome to set up campfires and barbecues. Castleton Camping also embraces well-behaved dogs but asks that they are kept on a lead at all times when around the site.

What customers say

This simple campground offers gorgeous views and a great spot to explore Mam Tor and Castleton, with amenities nearby. Campers loved the friendly owners and clean washrooms. While there's lots of space, some mention uneven ground and occasional noise. No showers.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked 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.

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

Only one wash up sink, which people were using for brushing teeth.

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked 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.

Local attractions

With lots of historic sites to see, landscapes to hike and caverns to descend into, the first bit is deciding where to start. For days hiking, the Pennine Way starts in Edale (15 minutes’ drive) and heads out onto moors, past reservoirs and gritstone edges. A hike with a view is certain at Ladybower Reservoir (15 minutes) too. Five miles through Cave Dale (30 minutes' walk), a limestone valley, is just as splendid. Places you might want to visit on the way include Castleton village and Peveril Castle - and there are views towards Mam Tor and The Great Ridge too. Caverns on your ‘to-explore’ list? Take an underground boat trip in Speedwell Cavern (35 minutes), investigate the Blue John stone in Treak Cliff Cavern (five minutes' drive) or learn rope-making in Peak Cavern (25 minutes' walk). When it’s time to extend your learning to history in the Peak District, Peveril Castle (25 minutes) above Castleton village is one the closest ruins. For somewhere that has survived the test of time, and now makes a rather excellent picnicking location, is Chatsworth House (30 minutes' drive). The estate also has a farmyard and playground.
