  • 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 toilet block and drinking water point. Self-sustaining guests are welcome to set up campfires and barbecues. 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

Castleton Camping boasts epic views & chilled vibes, ideal for walkers exploring Mam Tor & Castleton. Clean loos & a friendly host get rave reviews. Basic but has the essentials, great for a quick break. Can get muddy & a bit noisy sometimes, but its beauty & location shine.

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked Good, quiet location. Easy to find, though narrow road up the campsite. About 15 min walk into Castleton. No noise experienced on site after 10pm. Nice little touch with the “honesty box” supplies with sweets/chocolate/crisps & drinks.
Sufficient toilet role supplies and toilets kept clean.

Disliked No point of contact when we arrived so wasn’t sure if we could just pitch up where we wanted. This appears to be the case and we found a suitable
Spot. Someone came around later in the evening to check us in. Maybe needs more toilets/pot washing space as I noticed big queues in the morning and late evening.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Nice camp site, this is the second time I’ve stayed here in the last few weeks.

Great access to a good few hiking trails (Mam and Back Tor and Linder scout

Clean modern toilet block, drinking water and honesty box for those late night essentials. Good price and no real sizes for the pitches. Dog go free and dog waist bin provided.

Not far from town where there are many pubs to eat in and take away

Friendly owner who does regular rounds to check everything is ok.

Disliked If I have to say anything negative. It’s the lack of power. But this is a really small negative. As I have on board power and capacity to last my 2 recent trips

The single track road up is a little tight with not many passing spaces, and can get busy on arrival times

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.
