Crowden - Camping & Caravanning Club Site

In a remote location at the northern end of the Peak District National Park, Crowden is a walker’s paradise and this charming campsite boasts gorgeous scenery all around. From the site, hikers can enjoy a gentle stroll along footpaths or stride out on a stretch of the long-distance Pennine Way. Howden and Ladybower Reservoirs, which offer amazing vistas, are also just a stone’s throw away. Wildlife-watchers will find plenty to keep them entertained: you might even spot falcons, eagles and red kites!

Hayfield – Camping and Caravanning Club Site

At the foot of the Dark Peak area of the Peak District National Park, Hayfield is the starting point of some of the area's most stunning walks, where you can enjoy anything from a gentle stroll to a more challenging climb.

If you prefer the former, the village of Hayfield (the backdrop for the BBC’s TV drama The Village) is a 15-minute stream-side stroll away. For the latter, a walk up Lantern Pike rewards you with a 360 vista over seven counties. The walk up Kinder Scout from the west side is one of the most popular routes in the Peak District.

Afterwards, catch your breath and soak up the views from the site itself, where on-site facilities include a family/accessible washroom, drying facilities, children’s play area and a well-stocked site shop.
