 Have just come back from a fantastic three day stay at this site.
The management are very friendly and helpful. The shower block is basic but functional with shower's (take twenty pence pieces) and all in all they are ok. The camp site is very well kept and is very clean.
There are two pubs within walking distance from the site the ramblers and the nags head which is in edale village itself.
Would highly recommend this site and shall be going back
The views from the site are outstanding and there are plenty of walks for all the ramblers out there.
Edale village itself is picturesque.

Just arrived back after a weekend stay. This is the first time I have stayed at this campsite and I have to say I was really impressed with the site. I got a pitch on the field by the stream with bags of room around our tent I feared that the field may fill through the course of the day but was reassured when I heard the warden telling new campers that arrived that they could only use the top field as the bottom was full which showed to me that they are focussed on creating a nice experience for the customers and not packing as many people in as possible like other campsites that I have used.
There was only a few minor points of inconvience whilst staying, the first is having to park at the train station up the road, however you can reserve a space in the carpark and I would of had I known about this but you are allowed to park the car to unload so it's not that much of a problem. The second point was that I took our dog and all the fields that I saw in the area had signs saying to keep the dog on the lead because of the livestock however if I had a better understanding of the area this probably wouldnt have been a problem. These points pale into insignificance when you see how nice the site is and how peaceful it is. I will definatley return!

Just had a great weekend staying at this lovely little site in Edale.
We were in the family field, right next to the car parking area, which made it very handy for us to unload the car and get things in place for our pitch. The lack of vehicular access to the site was great once we were set up and running - though we can understand why some people found this a disappointment!
The Peak district ranger on the site was great - although a combination of scary and helpful! He actively engaged with our little boy whilst we were pitching and pointed out things of interest to distract him from trying to 'help' us out. And that made for a really relaxing set up process! He lost a few brownie points with the little one when he came around at about 10pm to remind everyone of the curfew and ask people to gather their children together ready for quiet time at 10.30pm. However, we thought that was fantastic and really added to the peace of the weekend!
The next morning he came around again to let people know that they were about to start the waterfall if the children wanted to watch. All in it really added to the sense of caring and pride in the site!
The shower block is ok - none of the doors had locks (in the gents at least) and with a maximum shower time of 6 minutes, you basically had to strip, throw the money in, then slam the door and get showered! Even then it took a little while for the water to warm through - and when the time was up, the water turned off (no prisoners there!)
Edale is lovely. We were there for the Jazz event (though we didn't go down in the end) and the Edale Country Fair. That was brilliant!
The little stream that runs through the site is lovely for paddling and with the Pennine Way starting in the village, what more could a walker want?
Overall a great little site that offered just what we needed for a peaceful, picturesque and fun weekend away.

Good site - the riverside fields were particularly lovely. We had a spot right by the river and it was great. We were probably lucky to get it though cos it was a quiet weekend.
Facilities basic - toilet block not heated and given that it got to minus 5 while we were there it was quite chilly.
I didn't have a shower (we were only there 2 nights I hasten to add) cos you only got 6 mins max and I didn't think I'd have time to rinse my hair (I do have quite long hair). You put your money in outside the cubicle so I decided against it.
My partner did have a shower and he said they were OK . Not great.
Perfect location for the local pubs - both good pubs within a few mins walk, and both let dogs in.
Perfect location for easy walking, or for more strenuous hiking.
It's a drive to the nearest shop.
We would definitely go back but only for weekends - it's ideal for us because we can be there in 40 mins and enjoy a peaceful weekend in a lovely location.
For longer camps I'd want better facilities, and I'd want to park my car on the field with my tent.

A nicely located site, and well laid out for backpackers passing through.
To be honest, I would probably say it wasn't really a campsite for families or large tents as the fields are too small, with little room for kids to play. Also pitches are not marked, again benefiting lightweight campers who can always then find somewhere to fit in prior to the next days walking.
During my stay the weather was torrential, but the site stayed well drained, and there is much to do in the locality. We visited the Magna Science Adventure attraction in Sheffield whilst there which is first rate.
The site wasn't full when we were there, probably on account of the weather, but the showers etc seemed adequate for the numbers actually staying there.

The staff were very nice and helpful. Lovely site that I would recommend. A bit of noise from the trains (which you'll get anywhere in Hope) but not enough to spoil our stay. Facilities were good with one exception, the smell from the men's urinals was awful and needed bleaching or some cubes putting in! (not nice getting the spell of wee when your cleaning your teeth) Some noisy campers after 1100hrs which I guess is hard to police and you'll get on every site.
If you're thinking of staying in Hope this is the site to stay at!

Good location for walking, but it was busy the weekend we were there and the tents were very close together. Rules given about quiet weren't adhered to by some guests and no members of staff enforced the rules. Personally I would try another campsite next time I camp in the Peaks - hopefully where guests are more considerate and it's possible to have more privacy.

Lovely site. Wardens friendly and helpful and they do enforce the rules which makes the site well run and pleasant to stay at. Very clean site and facilities good (showers use 20p pieces so remember to bring some). Car parking not far from tent area. No caravans (which I think is a bonus!). Vistors Centre on site is great and has a wonderful water feature cascading off the roof.
Edale is a fantastic base for walking in the Peaks and needs no advertising from me. Edale village has two pubs, a small shop and a cafe. Food at the pub is OK but not fantastic as some reviewers seem to think.
Just 28 miles from Manchester, I shall definitely be returning.

Just had a great weekend with the family at this site. I have stayed before but it was the first time I have taken my partner and her kids camping and they really enjoyed it. The facilities were good, the scenery was fantastic, there were two pubs and a shop within walking distance and plenty to do in the area even when it was raining.
We found the staff helpful, recommending somewhere we could walk with two youngsters, and worked really hard trying to keep things tidy when the site was very busy and everyone very muddy. We were also grateful for them quietening a group who were being noisy after the kids were in bed. Whilst you couldn’t park by your tent, it wasn’t far to walk with our gear and it was much better for the kids to be able to play without any worries.

I Stayed here from the 6th to the 8th and found the site to be very well run, the toilet and shower block was kept clean and tidy, I stayed in the field next to the site office so it was not far to go in the middle of the night to the toilet.
I will definitely use this site again, in fact I am going back on the 4th of may for 3 nights.

A group of approx 8 of us stayed here last August bank holiday which unfortunately was miserable weather. All in all, this campsite was fine! The shower block was clean and although putting in the coins took a bit of towel-clad gymnastics, we were all fine with the hot water etc. My only moan was how full it got, we were absolutely crammed in, which (whilst understandable) did reduce the enjoyment factor slightly, and we did feel that the organisation of everyone leaving on the Monday had a distinctly 'military' feel to it, which didn't make for a chilled end to the weekend.
Having said that, the location was stunning, the prices good and there were some lovely pubs around the campsite!

It was a very busy and hot July weekend when I stayed on this campsite. We had a friendly welcome on our arrival which is always nice.
This is the first campsite I have stayed on where you can't park next to your tent - which after 10 trips to and from the car (not prepared for this I'm afraid) was actually really nice. It may mean more organisation is required but it does make it a much more pleasant site to camp on.
The whole feel of the site was really nice and the ground was nicely landscaped. The campsite was set out on two levels - with one level (where we pitched), down by the side of the stream. This made it much more scenic and interesting rather than the usual set out of a big, square, boring field.
I must say though - if camping by the river - don't forget the midge spray!
The facilities were pleasant and clean - my only gripe was having to pay for the showers (I always stress that the water will cut off when i've a head full of shampoo!) I would rather pay more per night than have unnecessary, petty charges. There is also a shop on-site (which saved us from getting eaten alive by the midges).
This campsite is a really good base for lots of walks (we went up kinder scout which is a fantastic hike). Its also set in the lovely village of Edale - which has some nice (and busy) pubs.
Would definitely stay here again.

This site is a very short walk from Edale station so is ideal for when you first arrive and for when you need to leave early the next morning on train. The people who run the site are very friendly and welcoming. The facilities are great with areas to wash up, taps, showers and many toilets. There is also a drying room.
The site is quite large and can fit many tents. There is a section of the site for hikers which is across a little bridge over a stream and is enclosed. There are sheep nearby which sometimes sneak into this section! There is a pub nearby as well as a shop and cafe.
Overall I would rate this site very highly. I stayed during a bank holiday weekend which was quite crowded, but the rules created by the owners ensure that there is silence between 11pm-7am so you should get a good nights sleep.
The owner also has a field nearby which he uses if the site gets full up, so there should always be somewhere to stay. Although we didn't book in advance and were still able to stay over the bank holiday weekend at the main site.

Brilliant campsite for people arriving on public transport as it’s so close to the train station and the train noise didn’t bother us at all. Excellent clean facilities with great views from the site and many footpaths close by. We used the back packers field over the stream which was quiet so we got to see loads of wildlife. We would definitely recommend this campsite and can’t wait to stay again.

This is one of my favourite sites. Set in the heart of excellent walking country, with fantastic views. A great site for backpackers or people wanting a peaceful break. The site is clean and tidy with a good shower block. This is a walk on site so think about that when your packing.
