  • Dog-friendly wild camping location in the Peak District National Park
  • A 15-minute drive from Castleton, Bakewell and Ladybower Reservoir
  • Five minutes’ walk from the local pub, with shops a short drive away
Pining for a Peak District break that’s quiet and without all the extra frills? Look no further than Newlands Farm in a rural patch 15 minutes’ drive from Bakewell and Castleton. This is a fine spot for all things walking and exploring… Excellent walks in the surrounding area include the walk over Bradwell Edge from Bradwell village (five minutes’ drive), Monsal Head (10 minutes), Mam Tor (15 minutes for the trailhead in Castleton) and Kinder Scout (20 minutes to the trailhead in Edale), among others. When you want to track down tasty eats instead, the site is on a footpath that gets to the local pub in around five minutes. For shops, bakeries, cafés, fish and chips and more pubs, the villages of Tideswell and Bradwell are both five minutes’ drive away. Eyam (10 minutes) and Castleton (15 minutes) also have more on that front. Back at your base, there's running water and a portable toilet, and cars can be parked next to the pitch. During the lamb season (which is usually from May to June), families can arrange with the site owner for their kids to feed and pet the Cade lambs on site. With such excellent walks close at hand and a peaceful Peak District location, it’s natural that the dog owners among you might want to share all that with your canine companion. Handily, well-behaved dogs are also welcome (at a maximum of two dogs per pitch) – just be careful that they’re under your control at all times due to the livestock and wildlife around this countryside location.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Views were stunning, hard to find a bad spot. The porta-loos were surprisingly clean and comfortable to use, and it was nice and quiet even on a Saturday. It was also nice to have someone welcome us onto the site and give directions!

Disliked: It may be difficult to drive out in wet or wet conditions as most spots are on a hill and out wheels spun a few times, we had to try a couple of different angles before getting enough purchase on the grass to get out.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Had a lovely couple of days for the bank holiday weekend. Really nice and clean camp site with amazing views. The owner was lovely and even let our little girl feed the baby lambs which she loved. Our dog even had a great time. Will definitely book again in the near future amd hopefully the weather will be just as nice! Thanks again.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Very relaxed place with great views and lots of sheep about the place. The kids got a chance to feed the baby lambs along with the owners kids which was awesome. Basic facilities keep this close to as wild as camping can be while be on a farm.

From the manager: Thankyou, we loved having you and Harry loved a friend for the weekend!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: the view that comes with the campsite is fantastic. wonderful pup a 5 min walk. the owner was very welcome and friendly, any issues were given a very quick response. i think that this was the first weekend the site was opened so the facilities were still being set up (bins, washing sink etc.) but this was no real issue. very much wild camping but perfect wild camping.

Disliked: absolutley nothing.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: My first campsite fell through. Got online and found this one last minute. Easy to book, find and coordinate with the landowners. Beautiful setting & great location w a pub a VERY short walk but site felt very remote...I appreciate that. Port-a-potty available & clear notice of no showers. It was my very first experience of camping. First time finding a place, pitching my tent and sleeping in it. This location was excellent as we're the hosts.
