  • 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.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Beautiful location and perfect for a hike up Mor Tor

Disliked The lack of shower just means you’re limited to how many days to stay.

Also the ground is very uneven and there are a lot of pot holes, most looked after and filled in but my party did go over on their ankles a few times.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Location is perfect, toilets were mostly kept clean (apart from mud on the floor but this cannot be helped), you can pick your own pitch too.

Disliked Didn't realise that there is now a drinking water tap - it is still advertised that there is no drinking water. I think the addition of one or two small showers could also be great!

Recommend to friends Visit again

Lovely site great quite location.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely views quite location great walks and lovely clean site with very friendly owner. First time visiting will be back! Few issues with the drinking water tap but soon resolved.

Disliked A few more toilets on busy weekends might have helped keep the toilets cleaner but that’s just being fussy!

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.
