 Love this campsite. The sheep baa’ed us to sleep and we got to see the ISS pass overhead.
Already planning a return trip.
My son says he liked the toilets 🤣

Arrived here late on a Friday afternoon to a nearly empty site, which was fab, chose my pitch where I could get the evening sun and best views. The site quickly filled up over the weekend, but didn't get overly busy. The location is lovely, high up on the hills, with great views - however it is quite exposed to wind and rain if the weather is bad.
The entrance can be a bit tricky - they keep the gate shut off the main road as there are free range sheep, so you have to park up on the roadside, open the gate, and try and swing into the farm lane, it's a bit tight, all without letting the sheep escape! Would be much easier if you had someone with you of course, who could jump out and open / close the gate for you. Once you're on the farm lane, continue up for a while (dodging sheep!) and you'll come to the farm entrance on your left.
It's a farm site, so facilities are quite basic, but they were clean and the showers were hot. There are no hookups, but they have toilets, showers, recycling. The shower costs £1 for a few minutes, which is plenty for me anyway! You pay at the farmhouse, where they also sell essentials like bread, milk, drinks (including alcoholic!) chocolate etc. Both people I dealt when paying etc were extremely friendly and helpful.
For me, it's all about location. This site is perfectly placed for walking, there are footpaths in all directions direct from site, it's fab. Turning one way from the entrance you can walk to Mam Tor, and along the Great Ridge and a big loop back around, an unmissable walk with amazing views and scenery.
Go the other way from the site entrance and the world's your oyster, paths in all directions. One day I walked down to Castleton through "Cave Dale" which is steep, wet and slippery with a stream running down it, and rocky, but with care it's a great walk (about 45 minutes to Castleton). You can walk down into Castleton via an alternative path across the fields, about 20 minutes, just be aware the way back is extremely steep!
Castleton has numerous pubs, gift shops etc and is of course really busy as it's the centre of many tourist attractions. One evening I got a taxi back to the campsite (as I'd had one too many ciders and couldn't face the hill!) - it cost just £5.
As I mentioned the site filled up over the weekend with groups of campers, but it wasn't at all rowdy, or noisy, and the facilities coped well. By Sunday it was empty again, absolute bliss.
Highly recommended, as long as you are prepared for basic facilities, the walking and location make up for any downsides!

Brilliant night at Rowter - looking at the views and listening to the sheep.
Loved our evening walk up Mam Tor which is so close to the site which is also convenient for castleton.
The site was quiet and well maintained; the facilities were clean and plentiful for the number of people camping.
Very good value for money.

This place is just the ticket for camping. Friendly helpful hosts, clean toilets and showers, and plenty of hot water for washing up.
Being a working farm, mostly sheep, you are back to nature. Location is just great with views over to Mam Tor behind a windbreak of trees.
Would I recommend this campsite to anyone else? Yes I would.

Rowter is a fab campsite - free-range park-up with good clean facilities near the site entrance. Hot water and soft loo paper - makes all the difference! Little farm shop (milk n eggs etc) also available.
Beautiful views on top of the limestone plateau above castleton in nearly all directions and loads of space.
Haven't rated it for child friendliness as haven't got kids, but those there seemed pretty happy.
Been a few times and will always go back. X

Excellent campsite with good facilities. Absolutely amazing views and area.
Website does need updating with directions to find etc though.
Would definitely stay again and recommend.
Thank you

This is friendly low-stress site, with a gorgeous massive sky above castleton. The facilities are practical and simple, with running hot water for washing up.
Delicious duck eggs at reception too. We visited some local caves, and there is loads of walking routes and activities, cafes, pubs. Basically it's great.
I was with my 1 year old this time and I felt safe. With. Him pottering around the site as it is kept clean and clear and flat.

Rowter Farm campsite is very good when it's quiet. We arrived on a Thursday and enjoyed a peaceful stay, albeit woken up early by a DoE group, but no real problems.
On the Friday however it was a different matter, the site was very busy and a group of lads on a stag do set up next to us. The group were very polite (and even invited us to have a few drinks), unfortunately they were very loud until 1. 00am when we assume someone asked them to stop.
It was nice to see everyone enjoying themselves on the stag do but they really needed a remote corner to themselves. Would go again but probably only mid week.
Only one shower for men and one for women so insufficient when busy.

Surrounding area is beautiful. Its a working farm so it's noisy. 6:30am-10pm.
Expect DoE groups. Price online said £6pppn. Was £7.50 plus £1 to shower which is robbery, any other place is 20p or 50p max but most are free.
Toilets/showers clean but it's hard work getting you toilet to flush.
I'd only return out of desperate measures.
