we have a large family tent (no kids) and are planning a week camping in derbyshire, would be greatful for any recommendations for nice quiet sites in the area.
Don't forget to leave a review of the campsites you have visited this year or last!
Despite living in this beautiful county I've never camped here. But you can do some of your own research by clicking on the button at the top of the screen (Camp Site Search) and read the reviews by members who've camped at the campsites.
Hayfield campsite near edale is great. It has been retained in quite a natural state which for a c+c club site is unusual. Theres no bar or pool and theres a good pub just up the road. We were up there in May and really liked it (despite the foul weather). The facilities are really clean too.
Good luck

We have tried quite a few campsites in Derbyshire. Rivendale nr, Ashbourne is quite a nice site and isnt too noisy if you avoid bank holidays, it also has a small bar and is right next to the Tissington trail, so if you like to go cycling thats a bonus.
The best one for peace and quiet though for me, is just outside Derbyshire, just into Staffordshire, its called Longnor Wood, off the A515, its an adult site too.
Although I do love Edale, please dont go to Coopers if you want peace and quiet, I have been there a few times because I love the area so much, and its never been quiet.
I can strongly recommend Upper Booth near Edale. We spent 4 days there at the end of May and it was heaven. Its very remote and peaceful with basic facilities and loads of walking from the site. We will be back as soon as we can! Ange
Weve stayed at a site called Longnor wood(?) in the village of longnor, just outside Buxton. Its an adult only site, so is really quiet. The site is very spacious, we had bad luck with the weather, but the site refunded our money for leaving early without us asking (an unexpected surprise!). There are some pubs and a chippy in the village. It has good links to all the local towns.
PS if you go to this area, Llam Park (a national trust park) is well worth a visit.
I think the site is reviewed on here, we would certainly recommend it.
Happy camping,
Richard, Lindsay and Molly the dog

Call me Mr Pedantic, but its postal address suggests it's in Derbyshire.
Hayfield C&CC sie is not in Edale - its just down the road from Glossop. You can walk to Kinder from there, also Kinder reservoir is close by. Not stayed at this site (as i live in Glossop) but have done some walks around there.
Thanks to you all, I will be looking in to all your recommendation. I am already booked in at upper booth for 3 nights so I will check out the suggestions then.
Cottage Farm, free and easy, walks from the site, farm shop.
Rivendale, Pub on site near to Tissington trail, not as quiet as above.
Mooredge farm Tansley, shhhh don't tell anyone about this one, I didn't even put a review in thats how much I liked it, nice views,swimming pool you can use, nice walk over the fields to the village with three pubs.
Grin Low, nr Buxton, although it'a a caravan club site they take tent's. Very good facilities near a country park, twenty mins walk to Buxton.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
