 I am no longer a 'virgin camper' having just returned from my first camping experience. Losehill was an excellent site for a city girl and novice like me. The amenities on the campsite were in a great state of cleanliness and I was even able to plug in my hair straighteners which, much to the embarrassment of my experienced camping boyfriend, was a 'must have' when choosing the site. The staff were all very friendly and the campsite was only a very short walk away from the six pubs in Castleton. There are some great walks around Castleton which are exerting but not impossible for someone who isn't hugely into walking. A visit to Chatsworth House is worth a trip but try to make time for a walk the other side of the grounds as some terrific views can be had from there. I am unable to comment on the retail facilities in the surrounding area after making a commitment not to shop for one weekend, however the campsite shop was fine for milk. Remember to buy your paper early on a Saturday if it's a broadsheet as they seem to sell out pretty quickly. My only criticism of the site (and one they couldn't help) was the very loud jackdaw that woke me a the crack of dawn all three days and was responsible for my occasional grumpiness!

Great site for leaving car and just walking - hours of good lung stretching
Two points to make though -
1 - the road alongside the site can be busy and fast (especially sundays)
2 - a signposted walk into Hope across the fields (off the road heading into castleton) is not dog friendly (springer, collie and german shepherd) - virtually all the stiles required our dogs to be lifted over or queezed under a low rail -it was as if the stiles were meant to deliberately discourage dog owners from walking across the fields
One car journey we did really enjoy though was to the Chatsworth estate - grounds are wonderful, more so if you include the tracks into the woods above the House (did not see the house because of dogs). The water cascade is best viewed from its head downwards rather than looking up.

First visit to this site. Excellent facilities, good sized pitches. Showers/toilets spotless.Visited the refurbished Poachers Arms at Hope (10 mins stroll). Lovely interior,conservatory and outdoor terrace at the rear. Very friendly staff, food excellent as was the service. Altogether a much better experience than the previous nights meal at the Castle in Castleton.

Have just returned from a short relaxing mid week break at this lovely site.
As usual it reached the high caravan club site standards - everywhere being very clean and tidy, and the Wardens being very friendly and helpful.
You do feel a little 'overlooked' on parts of this site with some pitches backing onto each other, but it does have very good sized hard standings of good quality - a must in wet winter months.
Although the site was full for most of our stay it didn't seem to stretch the facilities, and it never felt over crowded.
Close enough for an easy walk into Castleton with very good places to eat and drink, The Cheshire Cheese public house serves really good sized home cooked meals and real ale! They also welcome children to eat there and offer child sized portions.
We are looking forward to staying here again to enjoy this lovely part of our country.

We stayed at this site for a weekend in January and found it to be of a high standard. Although the wind picked up one night, it was well sheltered at ground level. Plenty of walks and pubs nearby.
With two kids it was a real treat to have such a fantastic baby room available to bath them in absolute luxury. Nice warm room, water was not too hot, low toilet for our 3 year old and changing facilities for our 7 month old. A real bonus for us as bathing them effectively in a small caravan shower is not easy.
There was no noise on the site, although it was fully booked. We did have people trying to reserve a pitch for friends, unsuccessful as it filled up quickly around 3-6 on Friday.
Would return, but we need better weather for the kids.

We had a really enjoyable weekend here. On friday night we could chose from a hardstanding or grass pitch in the sun or shade. The facilites were the best I have seen, showers immaculate, no spiderwebs in the wash blocks, sinks in the washup area free from mess.The village of Castleton was a 20 min stroll up the road (on pavement) where there were pubs and cafes.
The scenery was breathtaking, everywhere you look is a view worth photographing.

This is a great site to leave your motorhome or car on site and get under foot power. Castleton is no more than 10 minutes easy pavement walking and the village is loaded with pubs, restaurants, gift shops, places to go, things to do. And the places we visited were very good. If you're a real ale fan, the pubs will take the sparklers off the swan necks if you ask them.
The footpaths start a 100 yards or so from the entrance and you can choose your preferred style of walking - on the level, stiff uphill or easy climbs. Many of the walks are circular. All are spectacular. The site is set in a big green pudding basin. I'm told that the walk along the ridges 360 degrees around the site will involve 23 miles. I didn't attempt it. But the walk up Losehill to Mam Tor and down to Castleton cannot be beaten. And that's only about 6 miles (it felt like 10). Bus services are available and trains run from Hope about 3 miles down the road.
The site itself is typical Caravan Club - superb. The facilities border on luxurious. The pitches are big. Everything you could need is here - including a drying room for clothes and a family room (pool table/ping pong etc).
My only complaint is that we had to leave to get home.

Spent five days at site in early September, excellent clean site, facilities good plenty of showers etc, although wife used disabled shower/toilet and found shower cut out at times, other than that no problems at all. Good base for surrounding areas. Castleton nearby plenty of good pubs etc to get a good meal. Will be visiting again.
One word of caution though we used the AA routemaster web page to find the site and this took us all over the place through scenic routes and even told us wrong directions, would advice looking at a map instead.

Stayed here for a couple of nights after visiting Alton Towers (a half hour drive away). Tent field is small but adequate although we did feel a bit isolated as it is fairly cut off from the rest of the site (mainly caravans). Facilities were a 2 minute walk away and we had no complaints - they were always clean and we didn't have to queue once as there are plenty of toilets and showers for everyone (having said that we did go mid-week so maybe it was a quiet time). The quaint Castleton is just a short walk away and there are lots of lovely tea/gift shops (particularly recommend The Cinnamon Bear!) to visit plus of course the local caverns. We did Peak and Speedwell after buying the combined entry ticket and enjoyed them both. All-in-all a great trip (despite the awful weather!) and the views alone make it worth a visit, with Losehill being a good base for your stay.

Excellent site with high standards of maintenance and facilities. Clean and spacious toilet/shower block plus privacy cubicles. Also laundry and games room.
The tent area is small and sadly does not offer electric hook up. If everyone had large tents it would be a squeeze to fit. You cannot park your car beside your tent either but there is a small campers car park beside the tent field. The tent field is enclosed by trees and sadly there are no views of the surrounding hills from the tents which is a shame.
Apart from this, this is a super site for campers and I would highly recommend it.

This site has all the usual cravan club standards, clean loos and showers, which were never full, and good sized pitches all hard standing making it a good site for the winter months too. The site is very popular and so gets booked up very quickly.
I have to agree with the comment that the dog walk wasn't very big but there are several lanes nearby that are marked as public foot paths.
There is a lot of walking to be had in the area whatever your ability, some of the longer, harder walks take in some fantastic views. Castleton and Hope are within walking distance where there are many pubs and eating places. We didn't use public transport but there is a bus stop nearby and I think at busier times there is a good service.
We liked the site and area so much we have booked to go again in the summer.

We stayed at Losehill for 4 nights on way up to Lake District. Very friendly wardens on a spotlessly clean site. My husband and son went to Alton Towers for one day (I sensibly chose not to go!) which was an easy drive away. Castleton is easy walk away, very pretty village - probably the prettiest village we saw over our entire holiday - and do visit the Devil's A**e Cavern - well worth it, spectacular and our guide was very funny indeed! Biggest downside of this site was dog walk, which was right by main entrance, and too small for a walk, more like a dog circuit of a wooded area, where you couldn't let your dog off the lead. All fields around are full of sheep and you couldn't let dogs off their leads anywhere, which frustrated my 2 dogs - although I quite understand about the sheep and would have been mortified if mine had chased them. Had a good lunch at a little restaurant near the tourist office in Castleton.

Just got back from three relaxing days at Losehill. Considering it was summer hols, the camping field never got overly busy, unlike Laneside down the road which was rammed! Superb quality facilities, I was happy to let my seven year old son go off and play with other kids on the site without worry of falling foul of aging equipment/facilities.
Be careful where you pitch. If you go at the far end of the field you lose the sun mid-afternoon and don't get it again until mid-morning, but if you go where the sun is, you're also closer to the road.
When I was there, it was mainly populated by other families, but there was little or no noise after 10.30 at night so no trouble getting my son to sleep! Recommended, if a little pricey – we paid near on £40 for 3 nights.

We stayed here for 3 nights. The journey from Wirral took us along some busy roads and lots of winding, narrow country lanes - so be careful! The site is lovely, quiet and clean. There were some noisy children in the tent field and I was glad we hadn't pitched near there as they were running through the woods at 8am screaming! We pitched fairly central and it was very quiet. Some of the perimeter pitches get very shaded so take care in choosing your pitch if this bothers you. The pitches are large and hard standing with hedging to divide up areas. The wardens were very friendly and helpful. The on-site shop sells basics plus pegs if you need more for the hard standing pitches. There are some lovely walks and an under ground boat ride through a cavern is within walking distance. We liked this site. The only criticism, is that the toilets were closed for cleaning for over an hour, late morning. As there is only one toilet block per sex, this was sometimes inconvenient. However, they were very clean as a result.

Usual Caravan Club standard - Immaculate. We stayed for 5 nights for the walking, advise you to take your walking boots and climb up to Losehill, the scenery is mind blowing, walk along the tops and down into Castleton. This is a nice quiet site, large pitches that take Van awning and car, the shower blocks were never full, small wardens shop where you can pre order next days newspapers. This is just an hour away for us and this is another on our "To visit again" list.
