About Fieldhead Campsite

This idyllic site sits in the heart of the Peak District within the picturesque village of Edale. With spacious pitches, you'll be surrounded by breathtaking scenes on all sides. Walk around local villages and reservoirs, and take part in outdoor activities not too far away if a bit of canoeing or climbing takes your fancy. The stand-out is, of course, the easy access to the iconic Pennine Way - making this site a perfect stopping point for any explorer. Enjoy one of 45 spacious grass pitches across five fields, suitable for tents with easy access to facilities. If being outdoors is what you enjoy, whether that's walking or mountain biking or relaxing while reading your book, this is the site for you. There is a limited signal on site, so you can escape from the hustle-bustle of the outside world and holiday in peace. Dogs are welcome onsite, just please keep them on the lead at all times.

Camping pitches are available until 17th November, the bell tent is available from Easter to September.

A note from the site themselves...

We've been running the site since January 2022, although its been here for many years, we're really happy to be putting our stamp on this special little campsite.

We both are very passionate about camping and the outdoors, having studied outdoors at university and worked in the industry for many years, we're very excited to share our enthusiasm for camping and all things outdoors with everyone that stays with us.

In our spare time we love walking with our lovely two border collies (who you'll probably meet when your here), and camping too (but we save this for the quiet winter days so we can be here to greet you!).

We would love to meet you and here about your adventures too!

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches (One Car)Oct 2024

Nice site split into 3 field surrounding the visitors centre. Swift and efficient registration and site tour. Good choice of pitches with firm earth for good pegging. Pubs nearby. No cars on the grass so it was clean and fresh. Only criticism is that it is close to the railway (occasional noise) and there was a lot of rain 😜

Lovely spot
