What customers say
This Peak District campsite offers stunning views & access to Mam Tor. Basic amenities, including clean portaloos & wash-up area. Castleton village nearby. Peaceful atmosphere. Note sloping fields & lack of drinking water/showers, but great for short stays.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Wild camping vibe. Beautiful location.
Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked Fabulous relaxed campsite in a great location. Set in beautiful countryside and only a 20 minute walk into the lovely Castleton. Toilets clean with washing up facilities. No showers but not a problem if you can do without.

Honesty boxes are great.

A great family campsite
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked A lovely, peaceful and relaxed atmosphere. Friendly touches (such as the honesty box filled with homemaker goodies, bottles of water, marshmallows, etc). Great that the site permits both bbqs and fires. A very nice environment for our kids first camping experience
Disliked Nothing - everything was as advertised and expected. A great place to camp

Beautiful location but not good for more than one night
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Location was excellent and site was not too busy. There was cold running water and one sink to wash up.
View up to Mam Tor and about 30 mins walk to Castleton. Take cash if you plan to use honesty box.
Excellent phone signal!
Disliked Toilets were grim. We knew there’d be no hot water or showers but didn’t expect toilets to be as they were.
No one on site to watch over things on site so a couple of groups of youngsters were up into the early hours being noisy.

Great location, friendly staff and a no fuss camping experience
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Second visit to Castleton Camping and following our trip previously, we had no hesitation about coming back to the same site, despite others offering additional amenities, such as showers.
Decent pitch offering with the route to Mam Tor close by, great friendly atmosphere with fellow campers, and excellent hosts and staff. Noticed the upgraded toilets which made a big difference for the kids with us, and made use of the honesty box which was well stocked. Will be back again next year!

Decent site in a great location, with a few caveats
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Large field in a perfect spot for Mam Tor hikes.
Decently priced too, even at late notice.
A well-stocked honesty box and a lovely coffee trailer on the weekends was a really nice touch.
Disliked The site is overall great, we had an amazing time using it as a base camp for our hikes - but there are a few things you'll want to keep in mind, especially during peak times:
The toilet situation is pretty dire - you can't tell when someone's using the toilet, so you constantly have people trying the door while you're in there. The toilets were a bit knackered, too, but at least they were (somewhat) clean.
A lady drives round each pitch in a range rover every morning/night, and she will charge you more if you have more than one tent per pitch - something we didn't realise, so good to keep that in mind. Quite funny as our small, close-knit tents were taking up less room than most other pitches, but rules are rules I suppose - just something to keep in mind if you're travelling as a group.
It's supposedly a 'quiet site', but we had it all during our stay - people blasting music, having full-on shouting matches at 1am, and people getting super drunk and being very loud until the early hours of the morning. Wasn't a huge issue for us - we were there at a peak time, so it's to be expected really. Just something to consider if you're camping with kids, etc.

Liked Simple and easy, no frills camping at a good price. Very spacious even on Bank Holiday weekend.
Disliked No showers, but that was specified so wasn't a shock!
