About Fieldhead Campsite
This idyllic site sits in the heart of the Peak District within the picturesque village of Edale. With spacious pitches, you'll be surrounded by breathtaking scenes on all sides. Walk around local villages and reservoirs, and take part in outdoor activities not too far away if a bit of canoeing or climbing takes your fancy. The stand-out is, of course, the easy access to the iconic Pennine Way - making this site a perfect stopping point for any explorer. Enjoy one of 45 spacious grass pitches across five fields, suitable for tents with easy access to facilities. If being outdoors is what you enjoy, whether that's walking or mountain biking or relaxing while reading your book, this is the site for you. There is a limited signal on site, so you can escape from the hustle-bustle of the outside world and holiday in peace. Dogs are welcome onsite, just please keep them on the lead at all times.
Camping pitches are available until 17th November, the bell tent is available from Easter to September.
This site includes heated toilet and hot shower facilities, with disabled friendly facilities available. The showers are 20p for two minutes and coins can be swapped at reception if needed.
The Bothy is a small room on site that has facilities for phone charging, and a communal fridge/freezer. You can find local weather information and also hang your wet kit here. The car park is separate to the camping fields, but there are wheelbarrows to help you move your kit.
Edale also has two welcoming pubs, The Old Nags Head and The Rambler Inn that both offer great food and drink, perfect as a reward after a long days walk. There are also two cafe's, Penny Pot Café and Newfold Farm Cafe, where you can get a lovely coffee or hot chocolate, and even a bite to eat to take on your adventure.
Forgotten that essential item? Then Edale General Store is the place to go, just a short walk to the end of the village.

Nice site split into 3 field surrounding the visitors centre. Swift and efficient registration and site tour. Good choice of pitches with firm earth for good pegging. Pubs nearby. No cars on the grass so it was clean and fresh. Only criticism is that it is close to the railway (occasional noise) and there was a lot of rain 😜
Lovely spot

Things to do on site and in the Edale area
There's plenty to do in the surrounding area! Located at the foot of Kinder Scout and at the start of the Pennine Way, there are plenty of long and short walking routes from your pitch. Choose a walk up the iconic Kinder Scout, The Great Ridge, The Shivering Mountain, Stanage Edge, and many more.
There are lots of great road and mountain biking routes accessible for all too. Popular climbing routes are nearby, as are great caving routes and paragliding flying sites.
If you're not feeling adventurous, take a drive over to Chatsworth's House and Gardens, potter around the quaint village of Castleton or the market town of Bakewell. You can also delve into the caverns in Castleton to find your very own Blue John, take a stroll around National Trust Longshaw Estate or visit the historic house of Haddon Hall.
