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.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
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.

Sehr schön im Peak District gelegen, leider ohne jeglichen Service
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Sehr schöne Gegend die zum Spazieren gehen, Mountainbike oder einfach zum Entspannen mit toller Aussicht einlädt,
6 Eier für 2 GBP
Disliked Man bekommt das Gefühl vermittelt nur zum Bezahlen gut zu sein… die Dusche war nicht zu gebrauchen, die Toiletten nicht sauber und beim Empfang war stundenlang niemand und auch telefonisch nicht zu erreichen (Vielleicht sind die Bauern etwas überfordert mit ihren täglichen Aufgaben)

Primitive grass campsite
Liked Fabulous location/views close to Castleton with excellent walks. Basic farm shower/toilet/wash up facilities which serve a purpose. We parked to the left hand side near wall overlooking fields/sheep - fairly level no ramps needed. Needed water for van so great to be able to replenish. Jacket Potato van (Sat eve) good food/value @ £5.50 each.
Disliked Despite the massive empty space head of our van, people arriving pitched either side right next to us (only 2 m away) + parked hire van to carry all their gear diagonally in front of us. They brought what seemed like half a tree to light a fire pit so had concerns re embers coming our way. Thankfully the rain soon poured down so our concern didn’t last too long.
Not the site’s fault but a little bit more consideration from fellow campers wouldn’t go amiss on none-marked out sites like this. Would still return though - just probably not on a Saturday night.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked Easy access campsite with a massive open field to pitchup in. Easy check-in process with a simple knock at the door. Male and Female shower available which was great. Toilets clean also. 5 minute drive or 45 minute walk into Castleton make it the perfect location.
