  • Working farm site in the Peak District with far-reaching views
  • A mile and a half from Mam Tor via a path; Castleton a mile
  • Next to a pop-up café (open weekends); dogs allowed
Hankering for a stunningly rugged landscape full of opportunities for hiking, cycling, climbing and other outdoor activities? On a working farm within the Peak District National Park, Castleton Camping is the place to be. Regardless of whether you've come here to scale Mam Tor, the high peak a mile and a half from the site that’s accessible via a footpath, or whether you simply fancy a change of scenery, a stay at this laidback rural site opens up ample possibilities. This place is half a mile from the small village of Castleton, which is well-served by pubs and cafés. It’s a peaceful area and those of you who like your breaks full of rural hikes will be happy to find that there’s great access to local footpaths, many of which can be reached straight from the farm gates. If you need a light bite before you set off down yonder, a small pop-up café just next to the site is open on weekends for snacks. The amenities here are simple, with just a portable toilet available, but self-sustaining guests are welcome to set up campfires and barbecues. Please note that Castleton Campsite does not have running water. Castleton Camping also embraces well-behaved dogs but asks that they are kept on a lead at all times when around the site.

What customers say

Awesome spot with epic views, perfect for Mam Tor & Castleton. Toilets are spotlessly clean, site's well-kept. Friendly host, handy honesty box. Basic but spotless facilities. Can be noisy & ground's a bit uneven, but quiet with great walks – top for a short break.

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked Absolutely loved our stay here! Easy to find, stunning scenery, great location. A short walk to a lovely farm shop and a slightly longer walk into Castleton Village. Village was so pretty - had cafes, pubs, coffee shops, bakery and even a fish and chip shop. Campsite seemed to transform at night. Lots of camp fires dotted around, people respectful and just an overall great vibe. Clear instructions from the owner too - will definitely return!

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked What a place!! What a view! Instant access to footpaths galore, quick walk to Castleton, Mam Tor, back Tor, Winnats Pass.
2 honesty boxes if needed.
Pot wash station and drinking water and 4 little toilets that were always clean and fresh!
Information of walks and places to eat if new to the area.
Lovely, old turf grass field.
Great host, I would definitely return as a solo camper ( even price discount for being on your own ).
Such a beautiful place to sit on a night after some hard walking, and soak up stunning countryside ⛰️

Disliked Everything this site has to offer, there is literally nothing you can dislike, it's exactly as described, but better, and cleaner then I expected.

Local attractions

With lots of historic sites to see, landscapes to hike and caverns to descend into, the first bit is deciding where to start. For days hiking, the Pennine Way starts in Edale (15 minutes’ drive) and heads out onto moors, past reservoirs and gritstone edges. A hike with a view is certain at Ladybower Reservoir (15 minutes) too. Five miles through Cave Dale (30 minutes' walk), a limestone valley, is just as splendid. Places you might want to visit on the way include Castleton village and Peveril Castle - and there are views towards Mam Tor and The Great Ridge too. Caverns on your ‘to-explore’ list? Take an underground boat trip in Speedwell Cavern (35 minutes), investigate the Blue John stone in Treak Cliff Cavern (five minutes' drive) or learn rope-making in Peak Cavern (25 minutes' walk). When it’s time to extend your learning to history in the Peak District, Peveril Castle (25 minutes) above Castleton village is one the closest ruins. For somewhere that has survived the test of time, and now makes a rather excellent picnicking location, is Chatsworth House (30 minutes' drive). The estate also has a farmyard and playground.
