We booked super last minute with a tentbox - had a great peaceful night - surprise snow in the morning too! Didn’t get to explore the site much due to it being a quick stop over but it looked nice, lots of people cycling and running - the only thing that would of made it better would of been a toilet - but if you’re in a camper this is a great spot!

2 nights at Bredon-Vale Caravan and Camping
We stayed at Nancy's (70s’ caravan). The interior was the cosiest I could ever ask for. Minimalist but essential amenities made our stay enjoyable.
The camping site offers good views, especially for watching a splendid sunset if the weather is right. Campsite facilities are well-maintained and spotless.
Its location is very close to Evesham, making it easy to find shops, pubs, and access roads to other nearby destinations.
Don't miss paying Shakespeare a visit if you haven't done so yet 😉

This was our first real trip as newbie motorhomers. We had a lovely couple of days between Christmas and New Year. Site was busy but still peaceful. Hosts keep an eye on things and are more than happy to help if required. Hassle free booking. Plenty of space between pitches and plenty of room on pitches. The facilities are good and kept spotless. There are short or long walking tours to Castle Howard and a lovely walk along the lakeside. Take your walking boots as not really suitable for trainers.
Take extra hookup cables as it can be a long way to ehu points.

Me and my partner came here for a much needed city break by tent and it was honestly amazing! The shower and toilet are seperate facilities and both clean, there is a kitchen too with a gas stove for cooking! The site is near anywhere you'd like to drive or even walk to around the peak district, and in the actual site itself you can see all the altitude and beauty around you. The air is incredibly fresh, and the owners of the campsite are really sweet and helpful. Will definitely come back for our next trip to the peak district this summer, thank you for having us :)

Just spent three nights in our campervan at Wold Farm. We received a warm and friendly welcome and were invited to choose a pitch anywhere we fancied. It’s a nice, open site and the pitches are spacious. Toilets were clean with plenty of hot water. We knew there were no showers on site but would really have liked some!

Campsites near Matlock guide
Where to go
Peak District National Park
Peak District National Park is just minutes away from the city of Matlock and hosts various trails to explore like Monsal Trail or Tissington Trail. Campers can hike to their heart's content to see stunning vistas around the park. Or, cycle, birdwatch, and explore the charming villages and historic sites like Peveril Castle throughout the area, as well. Then, settle in for the night within the park at a campsite among a grass field, a state-of-the-art camping pod, a pitch with reserved parking for motorhomes, or a wild camping spot.
Dovedale
Dovedale, a scenic limestone valley near Matlock, beckons campers with its natural beauty and tranquil ambiance. Hike along the meandering River Dove, crossing stepping stones and marvelling at limestone ravines and stunning rock formations like Thorpe Cloud and Thor's Cave. Nature lovers can spot diverse wildlife and enjoy views of the countryside, as well. While camping directly in Dovedale is not permitted, nearby private campsites offer tent pitches and caravan hookups for easy access to the valley.
The Heights of Abraham
A trip to Matlock is incomplete without visiting The Heights of Abraham. Right outside Peak District National Park and accessible by a scenic cable car ride or a pleasant hike, this dog-friendly attraction offers fantastic views of Derwent Valley and the surrounding countryside. Explore the show caverns and delve into the underground wonders of the area, learning about its geological history. Afterward, return to the campsite area at the base of Heights of Abraham. Here, campers can find facilities such as tent pitches, caravan hookups, and amenities like clean washrooms and picnic spots.
When to go
Matlock has a mild climate, making it an excellent destination for camping year-round. Summers offer pleasant temperatures ranging from 20–25°C. Spring and autumn bring milder weather, providing comfortable hiking conditions and the chance to witness the beauty of changing foliage. Winter temperatures typically range from 2–8°C, which is pleasurable for those who enjoy cooler seasons and the possibility of snow.
