  • 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

Newfold Farm: stunning Peak District spot, ideal for walkers with trail access. Praised for new loos, friendly staff, cafe & pizza oven. Upgrades appreciated. While some found older areas dated & noted noise, it's overwhelmingly positive, with many planning to return.

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked Fabulous location for scenery & walking, with a great cafe/bar, shop & an excellent pub close by. Also great bus & train links & super helpful staff

Disliked Nothing, could only be made better by a dog wash & drying room - we had wild weather!!

Though I generally go for more basic campgrounds I would stay again.

Sparrowhawk unpowered grass tent site

Liked New amenities/toilet block with very good private shower rooms. Clean.
Staff were friendly.
Ground very gently sloping on Sparrowhawk, but it was otherwise a nice surface for pitching tents. Other fields had more level areas.
Really liked the location. I drove but could’ve walked from Edale train station. Right beside the Pennine Way.
There is WiFi, apparently, but I didn’t try it.

Disliked Surprisingly, a wee bit noisy intermittently with occasional trains, and aircraft. Despite being new, the one men’s urinal in the central amenities block was out of order. There is another toilet block at the east end though, and plenty of cubical loos.
As far as I could tell, all rubbish goes in one type of bin? Including recycling, dog poo, food waste etc.

Grouse unpowered grass tent site

Liked Brilliant site, very welcoming. New shower/toilet block is amazing. Grass is very well maintained. You can buy wood, hire a fire pit. Also nice cafe/bar on site.

The views are brilliant particularly of Mam Tor, lots of great walks from the site itself.

Disliked Free will on pitch. It wasn’t an issue for us as we nabbed a nice place under a tree but maybe in height of summer arriving later you might not be in the best spot. So I’d suggest arriving prompt as such a great site!

Phillip H.

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked Great location, beautiful views, new toilet block is the best I've ever seen on a campsite (though already starting to get mouldy ceilings in the showers - need more ventilation!).

Disliked A little bit pricey. Hard standing pitches are quite close together although not overly so. Site does seem to attract quite large groups of younger people (schools, academies, etc) and there were a couple in while I was there but they weren't noisy or badly behaved at all :)

The staff very polite and helpful.

Stephen W.

Sparrowhawk unpowered grass tent site

Liked Really enjoyed our stay even with the wet weather. The staff were very polite and helpful, we camped for 3 nights and had plenty of fire pits and BBQ'S. The Pub was only a few minutes walk away and there's access to loads of different walks. We ended up doing the Mom Tor walk which was amazing. The facilities were great with clean toilets and washing up areas, the cafe was also really nice. The local shop didn't have any meat until Friday delivery so we unfortunately missed out on that but there's an Aldi not too far away which requires driving.

Disliked Nothing that we disliked

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.
