Clean campsite, great location

We stayed at Rawter Campsite for 2 nights and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. Both nights were extremely noisy – people were shouting and playing loud music well into the early hours, and no one from the site management seemed to intervene. On top of that, someone arrived during the night and noisily set up a tent in the dark right next to us, disturbing everyone nearby.

We barely slept either night and couldn't enjoy our evenings in peace. I would definitely not recommend this campsite for families with small children.

The site also felt overbooked and disorganised. There were no clearly marked pitches, so people just parked and pitched wherever they wanted, making the space feel cramped.

Additionally, showers cost £1 for just 3 minutes, which seems unreasonable considering the price of the stay – that really should be included.

The only positives were that our pitch was clean and the location itself is lovely. But sadly, that wasn’t enough to make up for the lack of peace and proper management. We won't be returning.

Showers are hot with good pressure.

Lots of walking nearby (go up Mam Tor at sunset)

Stunning location

Nothing

The location was brilliant, nice back to basics site that allowed campfires.

Only 2 toilets and showers that got busy on the bank holiday weekend.

Good clean facilities. Good location for walking.

So peaceful and a beautiful site. We were there mid week and I'm sure it will get busier at weekends. Fantastic walks from the site and an amazing cloud inversion over Hope valley in the morning. Didn't quite make it for sunrise so definitely need to go back!

Bridleways and footpaths direct from the farm. Seems to be some new footpaths as well dropping into Castleton from the FP at the back of the farm - and also one that takes you to the Access land over Winnats Pass. My OS map isn't that old either. But great for access without having to walk on the road. Also another path from the bottom of the farm track to take you onto Winnats Pass access land - again meaning you don't have to walk on the road for that sunrise shot!

Facilities fine. Didn't use the showers as only there for one night and didn't actually have any cash on me anyway.

Personally i'd prefer the cost of the showers included in the pitch fees. I do get caught out now by the fact that I rarely carry any cash.

Other than that absolutely nothing to dislike about this site.

Beautiful location
