Liked: Beautiful surroundings, toilets well looked after, lovely site all round. 10 minute walk from town and on the doorstep of Mam Tor.
Disliked: Not a dislike, but it would be great if there was somewhere for rubbish/recycling.

Liked: Setting was great and was a perfect location with lots to do. Facilities were immaculate the first night. The woman running it was super nice and attentive.
Disliked: The second night it got very busy and up until 10:30 there was a lot of noise (10:30 is the curfew so can't complain really) although that did include music. The facilities got a bit messy too, but understandable considering the number of people. It was a bank holiday also so to be expected. The site is on a slight slope.

Choice of where to pitch up
Friendly owner
Walking distance to Mam Tor and Castleton
Disliked: We only stayed 1 of the 2 nights booked through no fault of the campsite but due to how windy it was and the fact it kept our 5 year old up all night so we ended up booking a last minute cabin somewhere else.
Unfortunately it was also very noisy until around 1am due to groups of campers playing music and having a great time. (Would of been absolutely fine without our 5 year old)
There were also dogs repeatedly barking throughout the night however it meant I caught a 5am sunrise with the lambs so not all bad!
Like I say no fault of the owner or the campsite just our own child being unable to sleep.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked: Attended with my eldest daughter and wanted a simple site to have a fire and bbq following a walk! Beautiful site, very natural, lovely toilets - no shower facilities but not needed for one night. Owner lovely and drove around to collect money and could buy extra wood and kindling. Pubs in easy walking distance and could get takeaway pizza from the George. A lovely natural site - loved it thank you.

Liked: Information regarding our stay was sent out promptly. The ground seemed well maintained and toilet facilities were very clean. Great location, especially for us as we were hiking. Not overcrowded, even though it was quite popular. Considering the location, and arriving later in the evening. We were able to get a relatively flat area to camp!! Very nice quiet area, no noise pollution which was lovely for a nature escape! Lovely walk into the town of Castleton, where there’s lots of pubs & little shops. Good phone signal in the area (no wifi that we were aware of!)
Disliked: One thing to note is that the road to get to the site was very narrow and in some areas deteriorated (lots of big pot holes!!).
Also, there isn’t any staff on site. They only came round to collect payment. Although they do provide a direct contact number for themselves!
