A trail from the village

  • 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.

Sparrowhawk primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Fire logs available to buy on site for £5 Able to stay with friends and their tents. Accommodated to me and my Roof Tent (please note: they do not allow cars on the fields. I might have had to pay £28 for a hard standing pitch if there wasn’t a parking spot right next to some grass I could fold the tent/ladder out on to. Small shop nearby/on site Cafe, amazing food. Toilets brill.

Disliked: Not a site problem but a family pitched up nearby and complained to us at 21:00 about noise because they had a 1 year old baby - we didn’t have music on loud (perhaps laughing a bit loud at times). Curfew is at 22:00.

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked: Good friendly site in a great location, on site cafe and bar and around the corner general store. Two pubs, The Old Nags Head and the Ramblers Inn both serving food and have a good selection of beers, both are within a five minute walk. Great walks from the site, and local train station if to go further afield.

Disliked: The utilities and shower block are quite basic and are in need of an up grade, I was told that there is a new shower block planned for the near future. Wifi was available but was intermittent.

Brilliant stay- will be 5 stars when the toilet block is complete

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked: Views and the locality are great, convenient for walks, buses and pub is good. Staff very friendly. Shower block ok, plenty of hot water and clean.

Disliked: Bit shaded on campervan area but field for tents is fine. We booked grass but ended up on gravel. Bit pricey for non-electric

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Perfect location and about our 4 th stay here. I love this area. We enjoy having a fire pit and our dogs are welcome here. The scenery is fabulous. This site is right on the doorstep of so many beautiful walks. The clear sky at night is great.

Disliked: Still only cramped toilets and old showers in need of upgrading. However one day the new facilities will be ready I’m sure.

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.
