  • 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

Great basic site in stunning Peak District, near Mam Tor & Castleton. Awesome views, big pitches, friendly owner. Clean loos. Honesty box is a winner! Peaceful, back-to-basics vibe. Some miss showers & ground can be lumpy. Many keen to return.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Beautiful site with amazing views. Pitches mainly flat, toilets kept really clean, washing facilities. Drinking water on site. Perfect place for walks up to mam tor and back ridge and into the village . Honesty boxes filled with basics and treats. Little coffee box cafe on weekends selling hot drinks etc. Katie site owner was really lovely, even told my daughter about the animals (cows calfing) 😂 definitely would recommend and we will be back we enjoyed it so much.

Disliked Nothing to dislike

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We've stayed here the past 3 years and the site has now grown and developed its facilities. The toilet block was really clean and a big improvement on earlier trips. Theres a really well stocked honesty box with lots of snacks drinks and breakfast options. The path across back ridge to mam tor is a lovely walk and accessible from the site. Lots of lovely farm animals around in the paddock next to the site too. Clear communications from owner before arrival. Can get very windy but there are hedgerows to seek shelter behind

Liked lovely site with great views with paths accessible from the site. toilets were kept clean and well stocked.

Disliked not a dislike as such but it was impossible to find a level site so be prepared for that ( we weren't as we are new to this life!)

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Katie the owner was lovely and took time to make sure we had everything we needed. You can even rent fire pits and buy bags of wood and kindling. Great views and campers are respectful and in tents by 10:30.

Note: Field of cows by the fence but adds to the experience, even some calves!

Disliked No showers, but we only stayed 1 night so didn’t make too much of a difference. Great toilet block & area for washing up, drinking water etc.

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.
