What customers say
Popular, no-frills farm site. Great Peak District access for walks like Mam Tor. Guests love the views, staff, and vibe. Basic, clean facilities. Food van & shop handy. Some find it noisy, busy, or windy.

Fit for purpose if you are wanting a basic pitch
Unpowered grass site
Liked Simplicity and you get what you need and paid for. Pitch was well kept and fit for purpose.
Disliked Overall facilities lacked anything above what is bare minimum for a paying customer.
There is a drinking tap, pot washing station and toilet. This is located directly in the middle of the farm grounds, where there is no clear divide between the camp site and the working farm.
The shower incurs a charge at £1 per 3 minutes which is questionable when you pay a fee to be staying on site already.

Unpowered grass site
Liked The overall feel of the camp. The showers and toilet facilities were clean, the shop on site was handy for any last minute bits you might have forgotten. Great location from shops and hikes. Pizza van was a great addition for a nice hot dinner and the owners were very welcoming.
Disliked Not so much a dislike but something to look into- The sign on the gate before entering the field off the main road. The writing could be a bit bigger as we did drive past out of confusion of not wanting to go into the wrong place.

Anonymous Unpowered grass site
Liked Beautiful views and walking from the site into Castleton via Cave Dale. Clean facilities, was able to rent a fire pit for a few days with logs and kindling too. We even had a onsite pizza on the Friday which was nice after a long walk up Mam Tor which can be done from the site without worrying about parking.

Great place to stay as replacement to wild camping
Anonymous Unpowered grass site
Liked Good facilities, clean toilets, lovely setting
Disliked Took us a while to find where to check in while walking, could possibly do with more signage 🤷. Could just be us not being observant though
