Down a narrow, winding lane you'll find this simple, small but perfectly-formed campsite. You'll love the location too, sitting alongside Crowden Clough as it tumbles down from the Kinder plateau with jaw-dropping views all around. It makes a brilliant base for exploring the beautiful Hope Valley and the High Peak Moors.

Sitting right on the Pennine Way, which passes through Upper Booth farmyard, this campsite is open seasonally. The pitches are spread across two fields with two additional private camping areas alongside Crowden brook, one suitable for a single small tent, the other for 3 medium tents. There is also the option of a camping barn which can sleep up to 8 people. Both the upper and lower fields are car free, with vehicles parked either at the edge of the upper field or in the car park near reception. The upper field is also home to a handful of reinforced grass campervan pitches. There is a shower and toilet block at the centre of the campsite with a washing up area outside of it.

You're sure to find the perfect spot to soak up those incredible Peak District views. Even better, your four-legged friends are welcome to join in with your adventures too, with two dogs allowed per pitch.

This site is all about the outdoors, from the views that you'll wake up to every morning to the sensitively-managed campsite. Walkers will love being on the Pennine Way and whether you're a fan of gentle strolls through the valley, or keen to challenge yourself by heading up Jacob's Ladder to the Kinder Plateau or up to Mam Tor and the Great Ridge then you'll be spoiled for choice. A short walk (approx. 2 miles) will also take you across fields to local pubs and a cafe.

From Edale station you can take the train to Grindleford and discover the ancient woods, parkland and heather moorland of the Longshaw Estate, together with its award-winning café. Alternatively, you can take a scenic drive to the idyllic Ilam Park with its formal Italian Garden, views across to Thorpe Cloud and Bunster Hill, and walks through ravine woodlands. Or head west to explore the wonderful Lyme Park with its parkland and medieval deer herd, gardens, cycle trail, and the Crow Wood playscape.

Also in the vicinity is the wonderful Chatsworth House and gardens, (which also has a farmyard and adventure playground that's wonderful for younger visitors) and the stylish spa town of Buxton, where you can wander the streets, stop for a bite to eat or nip into the myriad independent shops. Cake fans also shouldn't miss a trip to Bakewell, for obvious reasons. If caves are more your thing than cake, then Castleton has four amazing caverns that you can discover. When you stay with us at our campsites, funds from your holiday go back into looking after special landscapes and places like this for everyone.
