What customers say
Great spot for hiking Mam Tor & exploring Castleton, boasting stunning views & spacious pitches. Friendly owners, clean portaloos. Basic but a lovely "back to basics" feel. No drinking water/showers, but acceptable for short stays. Occasional noise & animal muck noted. Highly recommended.

Basic site, beautiful setting, great views a short walk from Castleton
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
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

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
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
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
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!!

Lovely campsite, felt secure especially that the owner visits.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
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.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked Very picturesque setting. Surrounded by hills and mountains, very peaceful and quiet apart from the occasional sheep calling which adds to the experience. Lady owner was very friendly and made periodic checks around the fields. Toilets were clean and adequate. We will be back!

Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked Absolutely stunning campsite! The views are spectacular. Nice spacious pitches & can pitch up where you like. We have camped all over the Peak District & can honestly say this is our favourite place to camp, location is ideal as Castleton town centre is approx 20 min walk through the fields. Also the site is at the foot of Mam Torr so great for an early morning hike. Owner is fab, really welcoming. Toilets & washing up sink on site, very clean. Honesty box full of goodies. If you love relaxing in a field with breathtaking views this is the place to come.
