  • Family-run Edale site at the start of the Pennine Way
  • A 20-minute drive from Ladybower Reservoir; 25 minutes from Buxton
  • Half a mile from a café, pub, railway station and visitor centre
Whether you're looking to get a toehold on craggy rock faces or fancy a taste of slow-paced village life, you can't go far wrong with a stay at this fab Peak District park. Head to Newfold Farm Campsite for hols full of hikes, cycles and hilly explores – the start of the long-distance Pennine Way is a few steps from the site entrance, with many other top rural spots a short drive away. Newbies seeking tips on what to get up to in the local area will be in good hands here – this family-run site is owned and operated by born-and-bred Edale folk who are more than happy to share their wisdom. The community-minded village is also home to a volunteer-run visitor centre, an independent café, a pizzeria and a lovely local pub. A railway station is less than half a mile away from base, so leaving the car at home is definitely an option for those heading here. Not that driving is an unpleasant business in this part of the world – on the road you'll pass by oodles of historic villages, valley views and grand country houses, including spectacular Chatsworth House… Dogs are welcome to join you at Newfold Farm Campsite; barbecues and bonfires are also allowed.

Sparrowhawk non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Friendly welcome. Very reasonable price as I was only pitching a one man tent I got a discount. Good location in the peak district.

Disliked: Toilets and shower block could have been cleaner. No direct parking next to pitch, cars are left on a hard standing next to the field where tents are pitched. Not the fault of the campsite owner but there was selfish people making noise and playing music until the early hours of the morning despite site rules not allowing this. Seems to be a common theme on most campsites I visit now unfortunately!

Grouse non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: This was our second stay at Newfold Farm, the first was in my roof tent on a hardstanding pitch and this a regular tent in the grass field. It's a very well-looked-after site: the shower/toilet facilities are warm, clean and more than adequate. The staff are all really friendly. No vehicles by pitches which makes for a nice quiet and uncluttered experience. I like it so much I have another stay already booked. Ideally for running, walking and general exploring of a very nice part of the Peak.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Location is perfect for hiking, 2 pubs very close by, translation few mins walk. The site shop was decent. There was also a cafe but we didn't use on this occasion tho looked nice and seemed to be busy.

Disliked: Hard standing pitches are small but OK. Quite expensive for the standard of toilets/showers as they are a bit shabby so you really are paying for location however I think these are Soon to be updated.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Very friendly staff and great improvements to onsite cafe/bar. There’s a new second shower/toilet block and lots of EHU and hard standing upgrade work going on, which is great for future walking trips.

Disliked: A bit muddy due to upgrade work, but expected.

Local attractions

Draw a straight line from this well-placed site and you're bound to come across something that tickles your fancy. Heading west? Stop off for strolls at Ladybower Reservoir (25 minutes' drive). South? Buxton's fancy shops and theatres are on hand, as are the gorgeous grounds of Chatsworth House (40 minutes). Up for some underground explores? This site is a breezy 15-minute drive from Castleton, a village deep in the White Peak where there are caves and caverns aplenty. Bobbing up and down along underground watercourses is on the cards at Speedwell Cavern, where subterranean boat trips are up for grabs. The nearby Blue John Cavern, meanwhile, also has much to marvel at, including Waterfall Cavern and its shimmering multi-coloured dome… When you emerge bleary-eyed back into broad daylight, you’ll probably be struck by the shadow of mighty Mam Tor (10 minutes from base). Hike up this handsome hill for a three-mile circular trail that'll stretch your legs and open your eyes to some exceptional vistas – on sunny days you'll also likely have the bonus sight of daredevil paragliders circling and swooping overhead.
