  • 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.

What customers say

Awesome spot! Beautiful views, top staff, and great facilities, especially the new showers and cafe. Perfect for walkers with heaps of trails. Some found showers a bit old (new ones coming though) and it got busy. Quiet after 10pm policy works well.

Grouse unpowered grass tent site

Liked A great location, facilities were excellent. Having the bar and restaurant onsite was really handy.

Disliked Nothing really - children's playground could have been a bit bigger but only a minor gripe.

Scott W.

Grouse unpowered grass tent site

Liked Great location and good amenities. Beautiful campsite. Managed to get a decent pitch.

Disliked Not enough toilets for the amount of people. Very noisy on our side of field so not very relaxing chainsaws going all day. Needs cleaning alot more in new shower block. Not sure if it was just other campers that couldn't be arsed to use bins properly.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Overall very good site. Let down by the old shower/toilet block.

Carl R.

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked A great sight with great views
Great position for access to walks and cycle tracks in the hills.
New toilet/Shower block is 5*
Bar and cafe are nice.
Pizza oven is great.
Friendly and efficient staff.
Local shop next door is handy for supplies.

Disliked Old toilet block is dire, dirty, cold, wet, mouldy, with cobwebs etc. It’s literally still something from the 1970’s.
WiFi dropped out all the time.
Pitch fee a bit pricey.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Our second year at Newfold farm, and it’s lovely to see how it’s evolving. New shower and toilet block is great, and the old one still very much functional and close to electric pitches. We had a lovely time going or trails, chatting with other campers and enjoying the food made at the cafe and outdoor pizza. We’re looking forward to coming back again.

Liked Lovely little site and this was our second visit!
There was a new shower block since the last time we visited and wow so much better!!!
On-site pub and food options such as an outdoor pizza oven was amazing.
Excellent location which was quiet and very dark which is what we like!
Close to everywhere we wanted to visit shame we just couldn't stay longer

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.
