What customers say
Amazing Peak District views & serene vibes. Guests rave about the welcoming owner, Stephanie, and spotless facilities, especially the showers. Perfect for walks to Castleton & Mam Tor. Some note a need for more toilets during peak times & occasional camper noise.

Great location, nice staff, laidback and peaceful vibes.
Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked Freedom to pitch wherever you like on a nice site. the laid back owners were great to deal with. Great to have amenities like fire pits and logs to purchase and there’s a close by town you can walk to a pub who do takeaway pizzas you can get to the site. Eggs and produce from the farm you can buy in the wash room which was nice. For the cost it was very good.
Disliked Only downside was only 2 showers total and they are quite poor, albeit housed in a beautiful building, meaning there were significant queues for showers and some queues for toilets of which there are 4. That said it’s a great site and I would visit again for sure!

Lovely place, but best to avoid busy times such as long weekends.
Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked - Lovely views if you choose the right spot for your tent.
- Scenic walking path leading to Mam Tor in about 90 minutes.
- Plenty of space for your tent, though the ground can be a bit sloped and you may find some dry sheep droppings on the grass.
- Quiet at night.
Disliked - Very crowded during the late summer long weekend, with long queues for toilets and showers.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked This campsite is great, nice big open fields which you can choose from. The site is really clean and well maintained.
Stephanie is fantastic, friendly, helpful and really kind.
The facilities are limited, but what they have are kept clean and well supplied.
Made good friends with one of the donkeys.
Stephanie told me of a route where I could walk from the site to Mam Tor, which was ideal!
Would absolutely recommend the site to others.
Disliked Some people took a long time in the shower, but that sometimes happens. It’s hardly the end of the world.
