  • Family-run Edale site at the start of the Pennine Way
  • A 20-minute drive from Ladybower Reservoir; 25 minutes from Buxton
  • Half a mile from a café, pub, railway station and visitor centre
Whether you're looking to get a toehold on craggy rock faces or fancy a taste of slow-paced village life, you can't go far wrong with a stay at this fab Peak District park. Head to Newfold Farm Campsite for hols full of hikes, cycles and hilly explores – the start of the long-distance Pennine Way is a few steps from the site entrance, with many other top rural spots a short drive away. Newbies seeking tips on what to get up to in the local area will be in good hands here – this family-run site is owned and operated by born-and-bred Edale folk who are more than happy to share their wisdom. The community-minded village is also home to a volunteer-run visitor centre, an independent café, a pizzeria and a lovely local pub. A railway station is less than half a mile away from base, so leaving the car at home is definitely an option for those heading here. Not that driving is an unpleasant business in this part of the world – on the road you'll pass by oodles of historic villages, valley views and grand country houses, including spectacular Chatsworth House… Dogs are welcome to join you at Newfold Farm Campsite; barbecues and bonfires are also allowed.

What customers say

The campsite boasts a stunning location ideal for walkers, with excellent facilities including a popular cafe and pizza stall. Staff are consistently praised for being friendly and helpful. While many appreciate the clean and modern new toilet block, some reviews mention the older facilities are dated and in need of an upgrade. Minor drawbacks include occasional Wi-Fi issues and some pitches being on a slope.

Grouse primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Beautiful scenery, great vibe, relaxed atmosphere, lovely looking bar and cafe, handy pizza stall and local to the pub. Liked that cars parked at the side so tents could be together with friends.

Disliked Toilets had no ventilation and not kept tidy. It’s under minded the lovely decor. Toilet roll ran out on Friday by 8.30pm. Hooks or shelves for towels/toothbrushes win the bathroom areas would be helpful.

Darren T.

Grouse primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Staff are super friendly and all round amazing! By far one of the best camp sites we’ve stayed at. It’s amazing to see that every staff member gives it their all so credit to all the staff and the owners.

Pizza’s are superb, would recommend you book in advance as they sell out. Food is superb and not over priced.

Location is fantastic, right at the start of the pennine way. It even has a little general store.

What I would like to say is a huge thank you to the staff for all their efforts.

Disliked I’ve marked the cleanliness as a 9 not because they don’t do a stellar job cleaning, it’s because of the minority of guests that don’t cars for other people or other peoples property. These may be a select few, but they really do spoil it for the rest of the people staying, not just here but anywhere! Please have some respect and treat it how you would expect your house to be treated. Always remember, someone has to clean the mess up because you didn’t!!

Alix C.

Sparrowhawk primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Great site, in a super location. Well maintained, quiet at night, good level pitches. Good toilets and showers. Expensive but good cafe, with WiFi available. Little shop also handy.

Disliked A few very minor gripes - toilets/ showers not always the cleanest. Could have used some more hooks and shelves in the showers. Loved the amount of plug sockets available but some USB sockets would be helpful too. I may have just not found it, but a kitchen with kettle/ fridge/ microwave would be very appreciated.

Local attractions

Draw a straight line from this well-placed site and you're bound to come across something that tickles your fancy. Heading west? Stop off for strolls at Ladybower Reservoir (25 minutes' drive). South? Buxton's fancy shops and theatres are on hand, as are the gorgeous grounds of Chatsworth House (40 minutes). Up for some underground explores? This site is a breezy 15-minute drive from Castleton, a village deep in the White Peak where there are caves and caverns aplenty. Bobbing up and down along underground watercourses is on the cards at Speedwell Cavern, where subterranean boat trips are up for grabs. The nearby Blue John Cavern, meanwhile, also has much to marvel at, including Waterfall Cavern and its shimmering multi-coloured dome… When you emerge bleary-eyed back into broad daylight, you’ll probably be struck by the shadow of mighty Mam Tor (10 minutes from base). Hike up this handsome hill for a three-mile circular trail that'll stretch your legs and open your eyes to some exceptional vistas – on sunny days you'll also likely have the bonus sight of daredevil paragliders circling and swooping overhead.
