  • 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.

What customers say

Great spot! Guests rave about the scenery, staff, and top-notch facilities, especially the new showers and cafe. Perfect for hikers with direct trail access. Most loved it, though some mentioned older showers (new ones coming!) and busy periods. Quiet after 10pm rule kept things lekker.

Debbie G.

Grouse non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked We stopped at Newbold in August 2025. I took my son walking up Kinder Scout which I’ve done since I was 15. I was last at this campsite about 10 years ago and the improvements are incredible new facilities mean having a shower is now pleasant and the addition of food most nights makes it well worth the stay. We had fish & chips one night and pizza the next can’t fault the food in any way. Hospitality in the reception and the cafe/bar were great well done to the team. Also free WiFi 😉

Disliked If anything and being picky, No electricity but when I stop here I’m happy to have none because we’re walking most the day.and it’s good to get away from things.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Lovely experience. I’d stay again.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Great location for hiking paths.
The new toilet block was well maintained and serviced.
The cafe served excellent food.
Some themed nights for pizzas etc.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Fantastic location for a relaxed weekend break or a full on walking weekend.

Facilities on site are great with a new toilet and shower block this year and an on site
Cafe / Bar. Outdoor grill is perfect after a day of walking this week we had Edale chicken and Saturday was pizza on the outdoor pizza oven.

Location for walking in the Peak District is perfect, local railway station, couple of pubs that do great food also available locally or just relax and enjoy the scenary

Already booked for later this year and will be back in 2026 once the dates become available.

Disliked Nothing to dislike at the site or location 👍

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.
