  • Well-kept family site in the Peak District National Park’s Hope Valley
  • Pennine Way start 15 minutes’ drive; Chatsworth House half an hour
  • Peaceful tree-shaded pitches with superb modern facilities and a shop
Set in Derbyshire’s Peak District National Park, Hope Valley Holidays opened for the first time in 2026. It has an excellent location between the villages of Hope and Bamford in the lush Hope Valley, with easy access to the Castleton caves and climbing at Mam Tor, Stanage Edge and Kinder Scout all within 25 minutes’ drive. The site has pitches across several peaceful and tree-lined fields, with oh-so-smart heated shower and washroom facilities dotted strategically around the place, and a small shop selling essentials. The owners have put the natural environment at the centre of everything they do; there are wildflower borders around every field, and the mature woodland surrounding the site is awash with wildflowers in spring and summer. Numerous birds and animals visit too, and a quiet hour spent on your pitch may well reveal the wildlife that shares your space. Barbecues are welcome on the grassy pitches, but those who fancy sampling the Derbyshire gourmet scene can head to a pub about five minutes’ away on foot. Easy meals? A takeaway in Hope (25 minutes’ walk) will also deliver to your pitch. There are numerous cafés, bars and restaurants in postcard-pretty Hathersage (five minutes’ drive), and a well-known fine-dining pub around 10 minutes away by car.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The surroundings are beautiful, the amenities had little extra touches to them, such as hairdryers, and it’s located in a great spot for the nearby village and getting around the local boulder sites. There’s also a very cute little path through some trees and a dog park where you can let your dog off the lead.

We also had ducks land near the tent a few times which was lovely.

Disliked It wasn’t a big problem for us but for light sleepers then it is quite close to a road and there is a very active Trainline along the back of it. However, if are planning on being active during the day then you’re probably going to be tired enough to sleep though it

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked good family friendly space, clean toilets and showers, spacious, many spots near trees for shade, campfire available, owners are around

Disliked Take care where you camp as it is squeezed between the main road and a busy railway line with a lot of freight trains which they don't tell you. The main road is very noisy. As you enter, I would camp to the left rather than the right as the right hand field is not at all restful. The showers are a dribble. They allow a campers to have TV screens, projectors, amplified music, which surprised me as most people come to the Peak District to get away from all that. Also on one morning when we were planning to chill, there was continuous grating noise from 9am to 11am with mowers. I think they should've arranged it for the afternoon when most people would be off out. Overall I think we were just unlucky but it was not a Tall peaceful – quite stressful in fact – and I do think they should adjust their policy and rearrange the time for the grass cutting etc.

From the manager: Hi Helen

We are pleased that you liked so much about the site.

It is important for us to point out a few things here;
1. You arrived at circa 10pm and chose to pitch next to the road
2. You moved your tent the next morning to a Family Field, despite us asking you to pitch in the Adult Field
3. You stole a BBQ fire-pit from us (our personal fire-pit) which we removed from outside of your tent
4. We do allow people to watch their screens and listen to music as long as they are respectful of our rules and others around them. As discussed with you the family you refer to had music playing quietly and everything was off by 10pm
5. As discussed with you, there was no 'Amplified' music anywhere on the site, our rules around noise are very clear
6. We did have a mower out late on in the morning to enable us to get some pitches ready for people arriving that afternoon


Thanks

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Just had a fantastic stay here. The campsite was spotless, peaceful, and really well looked after, but what made it especially special were the owners. As a bikepacker booking at the last minute, I really appreciated how accommodating they were. They were genuinely friendly, welcoming, and couldn't do enough to help.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Fantastic location, accessible to many key destinations. We liked the games room and playground. Site management was good. Everything we needed on site.

Disliked The site postcode on pitchup is incorrect. The on site signage could be clearer but we figured it out. Some other campers ignored the noise curfew, which combined with the train track noise starting at 5:30am made for as tiring couple of days.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for the review Alice, we are delighted that you liked so much about the site and the location

I've checked the Postcode on PitchUp, and it is correct. I will though add the Watt3Words reference to help. And have ordered some more signs for around the site :-)

We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Thanks

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We had a lovely long weekend here, the site is lovely, great location, plenty of space in fields and friendly owners, very clean toilets and showers. Near the train track and road but this did not affect our sleep.

Disliked Low water pressure and no hot water. Each time we used the dish washing area and brains in toilets, there was no hot water and pressure often low. The first morning there was no water in the main block showers. Was advised to use the wet room electric one but it was freezing cold. On the following 2 days, there was water in all showers but freezing cold.
