  • 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

Beautiful, basic campsite with stunning views, great for hikers. Direct access to Mam Tor, walkable to Castleton. Clean restrooms and friendly owner. Spacious pitches. Some noted a lack of showers and uneven ground; leveling blocks advised for RVs. Honesty box and peaceful vibe are hits.

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked Amazing value for money. Easy and friendly check in. Stunning views and surroundings. Toilets very clean and never had to queue, despite the site being quite busy. Loved the honesty box, where we bought emergency snacks in the evening! Our dog was also with us - need to stay on leads due to being a working farm but she was more than happy to be able to sniff around our campervan and see the cows from afar! Water bowl also available near the toilets if needed as well as a dog waste bin.

Disliked Nothing really! The road out of Castleton and into the site was very narrow and busy with walkers but worth it for the site itself!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked It's a very basic site... literally a field divided by a line of trees surrounded by more fields.

But i knew this when I booked it the porta loos aren't your typical building site ones, they're clean with porcelain toilets and sink, theres a sink near the toilets for pot washing, a few picnic benches.

The views are incredible and its perfectly located to walk into Castleon, or walk Mam Tor, and even when busy there was plenty of space.

If you are using a roof tent or van make sure you have levelling ramps as there are next to no level areas.

Disliked There are 4 toilets to serve a VERY large site, there were easily over 100 groups. So you can end up queuing, same with washing facilities there is literally one sink.

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.
