What customers say
This campsite boasts stunning views & a superb location, ideal for hiking Mam Tor and exploring Castleton. Guests loved the spacious sites, clean portable toilets, and friendly owners. Many appreciated the "back to basics" feel. Downsides: no drinking water or showers, though fine for short stays. Animal muck and occasional noise were noted. Highly recommended for its location and views.

Great campsite in beautiful surroundings
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Quiet, beautiful surroundings, well kept grounds really pleasant for camping on
Disliked Toilets were quite smelly not just in them but within a number of metres of them so just bear in mind when pitching tent. Also the taps clearly stated not drinking water so we had to ration the drinking water we brought with us. Not terrible issue but would be useful to have a clean water tap like we have had at other similar campsites.

Great site with fabulous views
Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked Perfect location to explore mam tor/the great ridge and any one of the caverns. Plus close enough to castleton to wander down and enjoy one of the many pubs.
Toilets and sinks always kept very clean.
Disliked If there were showers on site I’d stay longer

Basic site, beautiful setting, great views a short walk from Castleton
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Beautiful setting, great views across the valley a short walk to Castleton. Pitches well kept soft grass with some separation from hawthorn hedgerows. A slight slope in places but not a problem. Toilets and washing up area clean and look new.
Disliked One large family group across the field incessant, fairly loud talking from very early in morning - disturbed a peaceful setting while everyone else seemed respectful of the tranquility. Spoilt it a bit but not the campsites fault.

Liked Good location, owner was responsive to emails and calls
Disliked No drinking water and this was not made clear prior to booking. The toilets were also not great quality and smelt horrendous. Thought that overall it was very over priced for what it offered

From the manager: sorry you felt this way .it says no drinking water on pitchup, the toilets are never horrendous depends how people leave toilets there’s only so much cleaning you can do. Maybe next time check what the campsites offer before making a booking. Thanks katie

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Location only 20 mins walk to Castleton town centre with pubs restaurants and small shops .. right in the middle of great walks and caves
Disliked Would be better if there was lighting along the access road ... would benefit from showers adding to the facilities ... especially with the changeable weather.

Awesome wee place, lovely to get away from the hustle and bustle
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked The location is beautiful and you can access Mam Tour from the campsite. Toilets are clean and nice to use, and I found the addition of an honesty box really thoughtful!
Disliked The field is not flat, so finding a decent spot to camp is tricky. Massive holes in the field which is not signposted so watch where you drive your car!!
Recommend to friends Visit again
Lovely campsite, felt secure especially that the owner visits.
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Friendly host
Clean field
Fair location if you want isolation from Castleton and quiet, scenic views
Free roaming sheep
Disliked Lack of drinking water (yes it is listed but it can be an inconvenience and would be a nice touch)
No showers, there’s a water tap but from the review I think many would rather a shower than the tap. Likely to be inclined to stay longer if there was a shower facility.
Lack of water pressure in the toilet so could not be flushed or hands couldn’t be washed at times. The toilets are porta-loos.
Smaller field than anticipated from images.
Not all even ground so get to the site early especially if fully booked.
