Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked: Would recommend for anyone wanting a base for local hikes or for exploring the Peak District. Close to Mam Tor, Castleton and Buxton. Toilets very clean with a well maintained communal area with a large sink for washing up. Site was very peaceful despite being fairly busy. Surrounded by lovely scenery of fields and hills.
Disliked: Site became quite muddy near gates which may be a problem for cars after heavy rain. Some of the pitches are not very level.
