From its hidden valleys of space, solitude and tranquillity, rounded hills, bracing moorland and long-distance trails, to bustling market towns with thriving local stores and delightful teashops, camping in the Peaks offers a unique and varied holiday experience.

Whether rain or shine, staying on a campsite in or near the Peak District gives you access to some of the best walking routes in the UK. Walking enthusiasts flock to the Peak District annually to take on some of the many paths and trails within varying landscapes. Bakewell, Hayfield and Castleton are popular walking bases with campsites readily available.

Carsington Water, the High Peak Trail and the Monsal Trail are all great options, but you’ll find hundreds of routes near your campsite too — ask one of our friendly team members, and they’ll be more than happy to help you find the best path.

If you love adventure, caving and climbing are really popular in the Peak District. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, there are over 10,000 climbs of varying difficulties. If you’re new to climbing, there are indoor climbing instructors to get you started and outdoor activity centres to show you the basics. Here are some of our favourite mountains worth climbing and the best bouldering locations in the Peak District as well as the UK.

Sailing, kayaking, canoeing and windsurfing are also popular on the Peak District reservoirs. An excellent location for a taster session is Carsington Water. Here you can participate in water sports, birdwatching, cycling or fishing.

Spend a day or two exploring the local area, head for the vibrant market towns and picturesque villages for time to potter and browse, perhaps stopping off in a teashop to sample the local confection and watch the world go by.

The Nine Ladies Stone Circle is a Bronze Age collection of stones located near our Bakewell Club Site.

It’s believed that the stones depict nine ladies turned to stone as punishment for dancing on a Sunday. The Nine Ladies Stone Circle is one of the most famous stone circles of the four that can be found on Stanton Moor.

Board a cable car to the Heights of Abraham to enjoy an aerial view of Derwent Valley as you make your way to the summit.
