 Spent one night here and arrived not feeling very well. I was walking the Pennine Way and the weather had changed. Lovely haven and facilities in beautiful surroundings.
Stayed in a pod. Communal facilities were clean and comfortable. Felt very safe.
Have to mention the wonderful customer service offered by Laura who went above and beyond to help me when I explained I wasn't feeling very well. She really looked after me and hope she knows how much I appreciated it.
Nice and friendly welcome. Highly recommended!

First of all I sent an email from the website asking for availability on the day I wanted to stay but unfortunately didn't get the courtesy of a reply ! After numerous telephone calls that went straight to an answer machine I eventually got through and made my booking.
The biggest downside to this site is you can't enter the site on the day of your booking until 1PM. I found this ridiculous as I was only staying for one night and was there to do some walking. By the time I'd got in there and pitched my Tent half the day had gone !. I could half understood this policy if the site was full but there was plenty of pitches for me to pitch my Tent earlier than 1PM. I think the phrase COMMON SENSE comes to mind !
On the plus side the Shower Block and Toilets were very clean and the Campsite itself was very quiet and clean and tidy.
Finally where I was asked to pitch my Tent there was a number of cut down posts in the ground which were about 5 inches tall and camouflaged by the grass surrounding them. The amount of times during my stay that I tripped over these were numerous. These things are most definitely a Health and safety hazard, basically an accident waiting to happen !
Overall I enjoyed my stay at this site but won't be returning because of the policy that you can't book in until 1PM even though there was plenty of pitches available.

Welcome from Roy was fantastic. Informative and covered everything. He was also very helpful with his knowledge of cycling in the area.
The site is small, pitches reasonably sized. Didn't suffer from road noise, the river running to the side of the camp was louder!
Facilities are dated with small cubicles but clean,
At two showers and three toilets in the ladies and mens, this was adequate virtually all of the time but not at all when the youngsters arrive with their tents on whatever challenge they happen to be on! Two different groups arrived and departed during our stay and apart from being a strain on the facilities, they were fine and amazingly quiet. Maybe the lack of phone signal has something to do with that!
Talking of phone signal, not very good and there's no wifi. I use the vodafone network and managed one bar most of the time but there was no signal on EE.
Lovely area for walking and cycling.

We took our folding camper to Crowden for a weekend with a teenager.
It's easy to get to off the main Woodhead Road, but the turning is quite sharp, although well signposted. We didn't struggle with our trailer, and there were bigger units on site. Traffic is notoriously bad coming off the M67, but it is just a slow queue.
We booked grass, but were moved to hardstanding because of water logging on the grass pitches, I suspect that might be a fairly common occurrence given the location. The warden was very helpful, and lent us some extra rock pegs just in case we fell short.
Its a lovely site, quite small, mostly level pitches, usual high standard of facilities I expect from the Camping and Caravanning Club. No recycling facilities unfortunately.
No phone signal or wifi, and I understand no tv signal either; we had a very peaceful weekend!
Close to both the Pennine and Transpennine Trails, it's easy to walk directly from the site, with low level walking available around the reservoirs, and more challenging higher level walks nearby.
There are pitches and arrangements for backpackers as well as bigger units.
Shops and takeaways are a short drive away.
It suffers from midges, so take your repellent!

Small but very clean and well presented. Bit in the middle of nowhere so make sure you bring everything you need and enough to last you the duration of your stay.
It wasn’t an issue to us but we couldn’t get WiFi so something to bear in mind.
We loved it here and plan to come back!:)

Lovely site, very quiet. Surprisingly so, as it is close to the road.
Good for hillwalking, straight from site.
Pitches are level and the toilet facilities are spotless and kept warm. Fantastic for this time of year.
I would recommend this site.

Lovely friendly woman who greeted us and kept checking up on everybody.
There was nice facilities like a social area to have a fire.
There was plenty of stuff to help you build your own fire safely too.

Small site for a variety of campers - safari chalets, camping pods available as well as pitches for caravans and MOHOs.
Immaculate facilities although only 2 showers for each M/F block but no one queued.
Perfect overnight stop for hikers walking the Pennine Way.
Small shop on site which has varied basic provisions. No other shops within 40 mins walk nor any pub/ cafe etc. So the site is quite remote. Glossop is about 6 miles away by car for larger town style shops Tesco, M&S simply food and petrol stations.
Walking and cycling - Pennine Way and other public footpaths/ bridleways easy to access from the site. We went on a walk which was not on marked paths following a route description and found it quite tough going and navigating was not easy. Best to keep to rights of way.
Can recommend the Longendale Trail and Trans Pennine Trail for mountain bike also Pennine Bridleway from Hadfield.
We loved this site and the location although might not have been so positive in bad weather.
Very limited mobile reception no TV reception. The site staff can hook your tv up to satellite for a quid or 3 per night. If you walk 250 yards to the road you can pick up a phone signal unless you are unlucky.
Great site for dogs and owners.
Staff are very helpful and friendly.
Crowden might not be everyone’s cup of tea but we are looking forward to going here again and exploring further as we felt that 5 days here were not enough to do everything we might have liked to.

A wonderful, well cared for site, with genuinely friendly helpful staff.
Male toilets and showers clean and warm.
Extra gender neutral shower in between make and female block ideal for families, and disabled users.
Walks straight from campsite and across the busy A road walks to reservoir.
Only drawback was heavy lorry traffic noise.
Otherwise I loved it
