4 nights at White Peak Camping

Quiet, clean, great sunsets, good price, everything you need, and extra extra nice hosts. Would book again!

Weekend Trip to The Old Chapel Campsite

A lovely little campsite. Just what we want in a campsite: quiet, dark, easy access to the hills, great host with a supply of fresh eggs. It’s in a great location within easy reach of High Cup Nick, Dufton and its beautiful glen etc. Ted is a great host who clearly enjoys having people passing through.

1 night at Howdy Glamping

I stayed on the campsite. Gorgeous site with really good facilities. Close To Ullswater. Hosts were the best. I’ll definitely be back.

1 night at White Peak Camping

The farm was superb! So relaxing and peaceful, perfect facilities! Would love to stay again ! We spent two days relaxing in the sun! Janice and paul made us feel welcome and left us to own devices but we're on hand if we needed them

Weekend Trip to White Peak Camping

Brilliant campsite! All amenities you could need and a really nice peaceful atmosphere. Good quality fire wood too!

Weekend Trip to White Peak Camping

I loved absolutely everything about this campsite! I was so excited to find one that had everything I was looking for and didn't have a strict leaving time as a bonus! The views, are amazing, the facilities are always clean with plenty loo roll. The loos are big enough to get changed in, perfect for those with little tents. Plenty fire pits and Janice comes along early evening to welcome and sells logs at a decent price. Janice was very welcoming and gave us directions to the nearest villages, and the stepping stones pictured on their ad. The walks around there came as a really unexpected surprise, absolutely stunning and amazing! It's like going back to dinosaur times walking along the river in the ravine. We had to ask a few people where the stepping stones are as there's no Internet in the ravine. (perfect signal on the campsite) I loved that everyone was a bit lost down there and we were all helping each other out without any Google maps. Perfect for us! 2 female friends, in our 50s, small camper with 2 dogs. Superb!!

Weekend Trip to The Old Chapel Campsite

Great wee stay at Ted’s land. My daughter and I had a lovely time at the old chapel campsite. Peaceful and quiet, lovely views. A nearby hike up Murton pike is also recommended and in close proximity. A less traveled part of the lakes but with all the sights and sounds your looking for. We hired a firepit and got some wood from Ted and that kept us busy enjoying the night. We were also very lucky to have met/fed two of the lambs that were on the land. My daughter loved that. Highly recommended -

Weekend Trip to The White Lodge

Great location with all the essentials covered. Clean toilets and showers, lots of electric hook up pitches and nice pubs within walking distance. What more could you need?!

Weekend Trip to Burrs Manor Wild Camping

Great views campsite, dog friendly and camp for free. Basic clean toilets and showers.

Weekend Trip to Camping at The Hollies

Fab views. Lovely spacious field. Really friendly hosts when they came round to check in. Will definitely be back. Maybe with family or maybe just me and the dog again!

2 nights at White Peak Camping

Janice & Paul's communications beforehand were spot on - welcoming with great directions to the campsite. The campsite was just what we were looking for - a reasonable price for the basics. (Similar to childhood memories of camping back in the day) Facilities kept very clean. In the morning was great to see the sun come up over the hills & lambs gambling in the adjacent field - lovely location. Would definitely return.

2 nights at Panpwnton Campsite

Fab site, have been before and will come back again. Nice little base to explore further, and great for a chill out. Facilities are great.

2 nights at Social District

Absolutely loved this place ..had to leave early due to very poor weather unfortunately. The place was just perfect for us and will defo be back again in summer ..we loved it and so did our working cocker Stanley

Weekend Trip to White Peak Camping

Great spot with fab walks and good pubs. Peaceful site, but you’ll need levellers…

Weekend Trip to The Old Chapel Campsite

Me and partner would recommend this campsite so much! Ted was so lovely and let us feed the lambs which we loved. He was also super helpful when my partner had troubles with his car! Thank you so so much ted :)

Weekend Trip to White Peak Camping

Lovely field for camping. My kids loved the swing and it's close to some lovely walks

Weekend Trip to White Peak Camping

Cute little campsite on a farm around a mile from the Monsal Trail and two lovely pubs. Toilets kept clean throughout the weekend. Great base for a weekend in the Peaks.

Weekend Trip to Camping at The Hollies

This campsite offers amazing views and a great camping experience. The camp allows fire pits, which is a huge plus. The hosts are incredibly friendly and always ready to assist. The on-site pizza is a delightful touch that elevates the overall experience.

Weekend Trip to Baystone Bank Farm Campsite

Friendly warden did what he could when we arrived. Views were amazing, campfires are a must at this site. The showers are nice and hot. Mostly clean even when it was wet. Would be good if they could advertise some local walks as these aren’t easily sign posted.

What a little Derbyshire gem: back to basics Whitehouse Farm Campsite is a simple site in a most scenic setting five minutes’ drive from the pretty village of Tideswell. The site’s central location in the Peak District National Park means it’s a top spot for those who want to ramble or ride bikes – several circular trails leave from Tideswell and the traffic-free Monsal Trail is a five-minute drive away. And there’s plenty more activity if you require it too, as activity centres nearby can sort you out days of horse riding, abseiling, climbing and caving. All this activity isn’t mandatory, of course – this is an equally fine location for days pottering off to local pubs, pigging out on pudding in Bakewell or taking a leisurely stroll around the Chatsworth Estate, 20 minutes away. And if even that’s too much, you’d be welcome to spend some time loafing about on site: there’s heaps of space here, and as facilities have been kept quite minimal (just showers and toilets) there should be a good serving of peace and quiet to go with it all. Guests are welcome to light up a barbecue or campfire for cookouts and keeping warm; Tideswell’s the place for supermarket supplies, and it’s also handily got a fish and chip shop and a couple of pubs for days when your firelighting skills aren't up to much.

Where to go

Peak District National Park

Recognized as the United Kingdom’s first national park, Peak District National Park stretches approximately 1,438 square kilometres and is home to parts of Derbyshire, Cheshire, Staffordshire, and South Yorkshire. Cycling, climbing, and caving are enjoyed throughout the seasons with the infamous Kinder Scout plateau challenging its visitors to a 7.5-mile circular trail of unforgettable landscapes. With countless on-site and private camping areas in the park, campers can retire after a busy day at traditional pitches with firepits, caravan parks, glamping rentals, bell tents, or unique North Lees Campground’s camping pods. Wild camping is not permitted in the park without permission from private land owners.

Yorkshire Dales National Park

Nestled north of Edale, Yorkshire Dales National Park highlights the diverse beauty of Northern England’s valleys, hills, and moors. Visit waterfalls, such as Aysgarth Falls, and gorges like Gordale Scar, as well as intricate cave systems with unique limestone in its caves and karst landscapes. Then, take the Three Peaks Challenge and aim to summit Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough in a day, or hop on horseback through miles of moorlands. The park offers a variety of camping accommodations, as well, including family-run working farm campsites, cottage rentals, glamping pods, and private holiday parks.

Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Proposed to become the fourth National Park of Wales, Clwydian Range and Dee Valley AONB is an upland frontier with ancient hillforts, dark skies, and rich heritage. Less than two hours west of Edale, the area boasts biodiversity with geological lands dating back to the Palaeolithic period. Stay on-site at one of many camping and caravan parks, but be sure to check the details as only some sites offer electrical hookups and potable water for motorhomes. Fell running, horseback riding, and kayaking are enjoyed throughout the day, while dark sky stargazing around the campfire is popular by night.

When to go

July and August in Edale sees warm temperatures and little to no precipitation. Experience average highs around 20°C from late June to early September. Despite temperatures rarely dropping below freezing, winters are cold, wet, and windy. Consider planning your travels from late spring to early fall for a favourable forecast to enjoy everything the area has to offer.
