What customers say
This campsite offers a gorgeous Peak District spot, perfect for hikers & cyclists, close to Mam Tor & Castleton. Guests love the welcoming vibe, roomy pitches & clean, simple amenities, including hot showers. While the relaxed farm setting & good prices are a hit, some mention noise from others & limited facilities when busy. Overall, it’s a well-kept, peaceful getaway.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked Stayed as a one night camp over whilst attending event in Castleton. Great little campsite surrounded by beautiful views and walks. Hot showers and lovely little takeaway drinks and snacks. Definitely one for next gig in Castleton.

Good campsite. But probably would stay again due to the price and loos
Primitive grass campsite
Liked The location to Mam tor and Castleton
Disliked Only two toilets to service the whole campsite, flush on either wasn’t great
Only one shower per gender to service whole campsite! Didn’t mind paying the £1 if you can shower when you want. If you get behind a family then you could be waiting ages.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked Absolutely stunning location, more sign posts for signing in would be good I found it in the end but was a little daunting for my first time solo camping however staff/owners was very polite and friendly, location is definitely a hidden gem, I stayed the Friday night wasn’t overcrowded each pitch had adequate space and absolutely unreal grounds, site facilities was very much back to basics but I loved this, for the price an absolute steal, please note you do need £1 coins for the shower handy to take a few with you. Definitely recommended , hopefully be returning again soon

Primitive grass campsite
Liked Location is perfect as a base for walking or cycling.
Disliked Be prepared for a bit of sheep poo in the camp site and uneven rocky ground because at the end of the day it’s a working farm and the location it’s in.
Facilities were clean though and we had no complaints and enjoyed our stay.

Amazing location if you're a walker. Best avoided if it's busy.
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Helpful and friendly staff on arrival. Stunning location. Takeaway food available.
Plenty of space on level ground.
Disliked Not enough loos, showers or dishwashing facilities for the number of campers. Noisy at night despite signs requiring quiet after a certain time. Poor waste facilities: one overflowing skip in the corner of the field, and no recycling capacity.
