 Don't trust Sat Nav - Plan you route using CC website - we got very lost and ended up taking a very difficult road down through the hills was not suitable for caravans. I almost passed out I was in such a panic that was after going on various single track farm roads and our friends having to do a 3 point turn in the village - silly us we usually plan things better !
Site usual high standards town was a little quiet but OK for short weekend trip. Very dog friendly pubs in the village.
The surrounding views are fab, stock up there's no big shops in Castleton to buy supplies.

Visited this site for a 2 night weekend break, very close to Castleton within walking distance. Having visited many CC sites, we found the site was up to the normal standard. My only gripe would be the surly wardens, upon arrival we were given the normal instructions, the warden then said 'make sure you keep to the speed limit of 5 miles per hour'. My husband and myself are both in our early 50's and have never needed this advice before as we are quite capable of reading the speed limits. My nephew was following us with his tourer which he has recently purchased, this was to be his first experience of a CC site. We set up the tourers, my nephew found that he had no electricity the switch had tripped, so he went to see the wardens to inform them and ask for the box key. The warden told him that they would have to set the electricity. My nephew and his family with 2 young children then waited patiently for an hour and a half before returning to ask the warden if he could come and sort out their electricity. The following day we had visitors, who were staying for 1 night, I was quized by the warden about my visitors which again I accepted quietly. When my visitors arrived within 5 minutes the warden was there to say that it is only 1 car per pitch. Again we were aware of this as my visitors were simply dropping off their belongings.
About 10 minutes later the other warden appeared and said 'move this car to the visitors area NOW. My visitors car was parked adjacent to the van and not causing any obstruction. My nephew asked 'are the CC wardens always like this'? I explained to him that normally they are really friendly happy people who enjoy their work and are usually helpful to all their customers.

This is our second visit to this wonderful site, the first time we battled with the weather, this time everything was perfect,
We managed to do all the things we couldn't do in February, walked up to Mam Tor, fantastic views from the top (if a little windy), we walked back over the ridge towards Hope and then walked back down into Castleton to partake of a lovely meal and couple of very fine Beers in the Peaks Inn!
My husband even managed to cycle up Wynnats Pass (I managed the old road that has collapsed, not quite as steep).
Still lots of things we didn't manage to do this time, which means we'll just have to go back again and again and again!

After a few concerns about the roads getting to the site we had a great three night break.
Approaching from the North via Sheffield both the A57 and A 625 are very easy and well sign posted roads for towing on with nothing of any note to phase anyone.
As expected the usual CC standards were found with regard to facilities,( why do they insist on putting the shower heads at shoulder height )¸
The wardens managed the 48 Sunday arrivals with great professionalism and the only stipulation was that the van was parked central to the peg.
Have to say that the pitches were a little tighter to what we have become accustomed to on CC sites but were still more than adequate for our 4x4, van and awning.
The site itself is in superb location set between the villages of Hope and Castleton with the latter boasting six pubs which all served food,several caves, great walks on your doorstep.
Have to say we spent several hours in the hostelries of Castleton all of which were very welcoming and friendly.
We had a fantastic meal at the Poachers Arms in Hope on the final evening, ten mins stroll from the site well worth a visit.
One of the must does for me and the misses was the Great Ridge walk form the site via Hope, Up to the top of Losehill, Back Tor, Hollins Cross, Mam Tor and culminating in the stunning Winnats Pass, it was well worth the climb with stunning views of the Hope and Edale valleys and the pass itself was superb.
Other places of interest included Chatsworth, Bakewell etc less than half an hours drive away.
We enjoyed this trip so much that its on of few sites on our list of must re visits

Arrived a bit earlier than 12 midday so the friendly receptionist suggested we had a stroll around the site to pick a pitch. All pitches are hardstanding surrounded by trees with views of the surrounding hills. The site was fully booked for the weekend and didn't appear that much emptier throughout the week, despite which, there was never a queue for the toilets or showers which were kept very clean - my only gripe was on occasions the flow from the showers were very poor. This is fantastic walking country with many walks from Castleton so no need to take the car out every day. The village is a gentle 5 - 10 minute stroll with a good handful of pubs and a post office come small general store. The Cheddar Cheese Inn and The Peaks Inn Hotel have previous mentions on these reviews but worth noting that they are both dog and sprog friendly. There is a Spar shop in nearby Hope for essentials. Would recommend this site and will be returning.

Just returned from this site after a wonderful weeks holiday. It is up to Caravan club standards with the usual clean toilets and showers but that should be standard for the price of these sites, I think the two clubs are a bit over reliant on that feature.
The pitches are gravel, level if a bit dusty in the dry, there was no problem with utilities all water points/bins, disposal, toilets are close. The site is very clean and tidy. I thought the pitches were a bit tight, with a car, caravan and awning there really is no room to sit on a bit of grass or find a spot top barbecue on some pitches. The regulation gap exists but with popularity and commercial pressures every space is now a pitch and caravan movers make every spot a possible pitch. Pitches 80/81 take up a position that otherwise would leave every one with space in the central area. I would like to see a bit more room and some privacy considerations on sites when laid out. This site is reliant on good standards of cleanliness and location which is excellent but for me there was no 'Wow' factor for this site.
The nearby walks, pubs, towns and attractions make it worth visiting. I do think the UK sites lack some of the on site relaxation of the better low key French sites though. Overall a good well run site but for me with two young children the absence of the play park or a space to play even an adjacent field detracted from an otherwise good site.

An excellent site, well maintained and with a location second to none. Lots of walking from the site to suit all abilities. An easy 10 minute walk into Castleton with independent shops, pubs,cafes, and an outstanding Italian restaurant which has recently opened. There is an ATM in one of the pubs and also a Post Office that offers a cash facility to most bank customers. The Peak District Visitors Centre in the centre of Castleton is an ideal starting point to obtain local information. Weather very cold when we visited but wardens gritted paths at first sign of frost/ice and washblocks lovely and warm.

We have just returned from a long weekend at this wonderful site. The facilities are excellent just as described in other reviews, spotlessly clean and the warders are helpful and pleasant. Castleton itself is a lovely village, unfortunately the weather was against us for the whole weekend (very windy and raining much like the rest of the UK this particular weekend), we therefore didn't get to cycle and walk as much as we would normally have liked however, we did partake of the delights of a couple of the pubs, the food in the Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese inn (the first pub you come to in the village) was lovely for our first night and we celebrated my birthday in style in The Bulls Head, outstanding 3 course meal and excellent value for money and service (try the smoked haddock on spinach in a cheese sauce, gorgeous)! another nice pub, spotlessly clean was the Peaks Inn, didn't try the food there but will next time, and last but not least we had our final cooked breakfast at the Nags Head, lovely! We arrived home on Monday and have booked to go back again in November and hopefully April! Hopefully the weather will be better, we have already planned our activities. This site gets booked up really quickly so book early.

A change to the usual patten, I stopped at Losehill CC Site by myself for 2 nights while my Land Rover was being serviced nearby.
Upon arrival the Wardens greeting was polite and ensured I was informed where everything was while paying for my stay.
Entry / Exit is controlled by barrier key fob.
All pitches are of the hard-standing all-weather gravel but not all are level. Most pitches North of the shower blocks requires some form of levelling.
I stayed at top of site so was not aware of any noise from the road nor driveways. Ducks were my only source of noise and this was much welcomed as they walked past the van.
There is currently no playground, BUT there is A FAMILY ROOM WITH A TABLE TENNIS AND A POOL TABLE provided.
This family room is much overlooked but well worth the visit and knowledge that it is there.
The shower and toilet block is older than most of the CC sites that we have become used to, but I had no problems whatsoever here and everything was in good working order and far better than some sites I have stopped at.
The dog walk on site is just that. A short walk provided for last and late night / urgent walkies. Losehill is set amongst the High Peak and so naturally have vast amount of walks from the site entrance onwards.
Cannot comment on TV reception as I choose not to bother with the TV.
Hope and Castleton villages are 20 and 15 minutes walk away while Hope railway station is 30 minutes walking from the site.
I love Losehill CC Site and will be returning with my family. The sites was always clean and tidy and the Winter Wardens very good to talk too and made my stay a good one.
3G mobile Broadband signal was average to good while Vodafone mobile signal was excellent.
Will I be back? It's already booked!

Currently my favourite site very clean very quiet. Castleton 10 mins walk, excellent pubs, quiet shops. Various local attractions all worth a look. Other cc sites should take note. Icy when we went but wardens kept paths clear and gritted. Keep up the good work, best site we've been on. Satellite reception can be poor on some pitches so ask before you pitch up

We stayed 2 nights - site very busy even on a Sunday night in November only 5 or 6 empty pitches.
Pitches all hard standing and wide enough for caravan, awning and car. Site fairly close to the road, some road noise but not too intrusive. As expected immaculate toilet / showers - usual CC standard.
CC advise tv reception poor - but we found it very good when tuning to analogue.
Warden very friendly and checked us in quickly and efficiently.
As previous reviews have said very handy for both Hope and Castleton. At £15 with ehu we thought good value and would stay again.

We have stayed here a couple of times over the last year and love it.
All the usual benefits of a cc site, nice friendly staff, clean and spacious pitches toilets and showers very good as are the dish washing and veg prep areas. There is a small shop in the reception area offering the basics,
Lots of information for exploring the area.Castleton is around a 12 min walk away offering great shops and pubs
Excellent places to walk with the average taking around 3 hours (phew)
Will be visiting the site again around Christmas time (cant wait).

Stopped 5 nights, toilet block wash facilities all excellent but that's what you would expect at 20 pound a night. Play ground was shut down but it was only as big as a caravan plot and the dog walk was about 4 times bigger.
Every wednesday chip van comes. Wardens great. You can walk into castleton and hope, hope is a little further takes 15 mins very small. 3 pubs post office spar. Don't go early though, walked there one morning to fetch paper and loaf got there at 7am paper shop not open till 7.30 spar not opn till 8am !
castleton 10 min walk 6 pubs post office tea rooms couple food shops small village lacks a proper cafe in all great for say 2 nights unless you are a walker, closest supermarket 7 miles away so stock up as spar not cheap.

Just got back from this lovely site. Beware- make sure you park your unit properly otherwise you will be asked to move it (car, caravan in the centre of the pitch, awning in that order). Large pitches and plenty of water taps and waste facilities.
Also a proper room for dish washing, not outdoor with inadequate roof. Washing machines and driers and a mother and toddler bathroom.
Would certainly have been disappointed if camping with children as the advertised play ground is being upgraded and there is absolutely nothing there for kids. As already stated, the dog walk is next to a busy road and along with lots of sites it is really a token gesture. Having said that the whole area is a walkers paradise so no real problem.
A fantastic site otherwise, shower block is warm spotlessly clean and large enough to prevent queues.
Fantastic base for seeing the Peak District, Castleton a short walk away with plenty of pubs most dog friendly. The nearby caves and caverns are a must to see, Lady Bowater reservoir, Chatsworth house, Bakewell, Eyam, Dovedale etc. So much to see, scenery fantastic. Have been lots of times to this area and will go back again and most definitely back to this site

Stayed here for a long weekend. Didn't set off too well when another caravanner said he was leaving early due to the weather. Unfortunately the weather didn't improve much whilst we were there but that's not the sites fault.
Location is great. It's a short walk to both Castleton and Hope village. More to see and do in Castleton as there is the castle, mines and shops etc but there are walks straight from the site which is good. We managed one day out on the hills up Losehil itself and then over to Mar Tor. The views are amazing!
Chinese Restaurant/Takeaway in Hope village is a bit scabby so we drove that extra 10 minutes into Chapel en le Firth and had a nice takeaway.
The facilities on site are good but the showers are dated and need an upgrade, plus the pressure wasn't that clever.
Will we be back - don't think so. The are nicer CC sites than this one. Sorry :-)
