Traditional Campsite in Fabulous Location

Open All Year Round!

Fieldhead Campsite in Edale is a wonderful, rustic campsite with dog-friendly glamping pods!

Surrounded by the impressive heights of Mam Tor and Kinder Scout in the stunning Edale Valley, Fieldhead Campsite is perfectly pitched amongst woodland, next to a tranquil stream with the most impressive views! This gorgeous back-to-nature campsite feels like you’re wild camping, yet with the convenience of immaculate essential facilities!

First time visitors to the area are in good hands, the small team is made up of friendly, knowledgeable staff who can advise on walking routes and the best local attractions to really maximize your visit!

The peaceful setting makes it ideal for those who simply want to relax and listen to the sound of the brook, birdsong, and nearby lambs, and for those who want to discover all that the breathtaking Dark Peak has to offer!

Edale is at the very start of the Pennine Way, close to Kinder Scout, Castleton and Mam Tor. It’s also home to a couple of dog friendly village pubs and cafes, so you have a choice of places to eat for delicious breakfasts, lunches, evening meals, weekend pizza nights and the most impressive Sunday carvery! All of which are all just a five-minute stroll from Fieldhead Campsite, making the location simply idyllic!

There is limited parking, which is just a stone’s throw from the camping fields, ensuring a safe and truly peaceful camping experience, and for those who don’t want to bring a car at all, it’s just a five-minute walk from the Edale train station. This makes it one of the few places in the Peak District where you can truly leave the car at home.

Fieldhead Campsite really is a place for relaxing and exploring without any fuss.

Back-To-Nature Site with Immaculate Facilities

Fieldhead Campsite is a wonderful, well run site, which is surprisingly spacious, yet still provides a feel of seclusion due to the way the small camping areas are laid out.

Choose from a more traditional field close to the facilities (great for Duke of Edinburgh and organised walking groups), a field with impressive views directly over to Mam Tor, or more secluded areas surrounded by woodland, bluebells and just the sounds of nature!

It’s a dog friendly site and strictly limits groups to five people or fewer, ensuring the atmosphere remains calm and peaceful even on busy weekends.

The staff are friendly and helpful and ensure the facilities are immaculate. There are separate male and female facilities, with toilets, sinks with mirrors and a hair dryer, and lovely hot showers, which are a small charge to help conserve water. Likewise, Fieldhead Campsite uses recyclable products wherever possible to keep the site as eco-friendly as possible. The cleaning products are vegan, eco-friendly and made in UK.

There are no electric hook-ups on the pitches, but don’t worry; if your phone dies, you can hire power packs. There is also a small communal fridge-freezer for your essentials. There is no Wi-Fi on site. This is a deliberate choice to help guests truly escape the busy world for a few days, however, if you do need to check your emails or socials, the nearby pubs and cafes do have signal.

Parking is limited at Fieldhead Campsite, so booking ahead is a must. They have two spaces with electric charging points for those with electric vehicles. During quieter mid-week periods, they sometimes allow small campervans or roof tents if you ask in advance.

Brand New Pet Friendly Glamping Pods

For those who prefer a little more luxury, new for 2026 are Fieldhead Campsite’s fabulous pet friendly glamping pods, which can be arranged to sleep from one to five guests, making them great for solo travellers looking for a little more luxury, a romantic break for couples and even a luxury camping break for young families! One of the pods has easy access, which is great for those with more limited mobility.

Each of the pods has impressive views over the Edale Valley towards the Great Ridge of Mam Tor and Losehill. Relax in the comfort of your warm bed or out on the decked area as you watch lambs in the neighbouring fields and trains passing through the valley, and even see hikers on the summit of Mam Tor!

The beds can be arranged to provide a single bed with a sofa area and a coffee table, a double bed with a separate single bed and a small sofa area, or even a super king sleeping platform for young families. Depending on layout, there is even room for a dog crate or travel cot, making them a great option for solo travellers, couples, families and groups of friends who perhaps want to escape the great British weather!

There is also a handy kitchen area with all essentials, including a fridge-freezer, kettle, toaster, microwave, glasses, cups, plates, bowls and cutlery. Visitors then have access to the toilets, showers and dishwashing facilities on site.

They’re heated too, so you’re sure to always be warm and cosy, whatever the weather!

Unbeatable Location in Heart of the Peak District

Being in the centre of Edale in the Edale Valley means you’re surrounded by the true ruggedness and beauty of the national park. Kinder Scout looms over the village, with its dramatic gritstone edges. The famous Great Ridge, including Mam Tor, is just a short hike away. You can watch the paragliders spiralling over the valley from the ridges or head down into the valley itself for a more relaxing stroll.

The social side of Edale is just as good as the walking! Everything is dog friendly and just a five-minute walk from the Fieldhead Campsite entrance.

The Rambler Inn is a great local pub with a roaring fire for those colder months and delicious home-cooked food.
The Old Nag’s Head, which marks the official start of the Pennine Way, does an amazing Sunday carvery and host regular folk nights and beer festivals.
Penny Pot Cafe sits right by the station. Their cakes are legendary and perfect for packing into a rucksack before a long climb.
The Newfold Cafe serves a varied menu for breakfast, lunch and evening meals, and on Saturday evenings, they fire up the ovens for their famous wood-fired pizzas.

Exploring Beyond the Edale Valley

You could easily spend a week never leaving the village, with so many wonderful walks from the door! Head over the valley to Losehill or Mam Tor, or follow the ridge right around to the beautiful Jacobs Ladder. Maybe take a hike up to Kinder Scout, or simply take a more relaxing stroll in the valley bottom.

Fieldhead Campsite is a brilliant base for seeing the rest of the area too! A fifteen-minute drive takes you into Castleton, famous for its show caverns like Blue John and Peak Cavern, plus the dramatic ruins of Peveril Castle. It also has a great selection of shops and eateries.

Twenty minutes away is Hathersage, a lovely village with great outdoor shops, cafes, pubs and a famous heated open-air swimming pool.

If you want a bit of culture and a little more shopping, the market town of Bakewell is about a thirty-minute drive, where, of course, you must try some delicious Bakewell Pudding!

If you fancy a day of cycling, the experienced mountain bikers can, of course, head to the ridge, but for those who fancy a more leisurely ride, just twenty minutes down the road in Fairholmes you can hire bikes and ride around the Ladybower and Derwent reservoirs.

Fieldhead Campsite really does put you right in the middle of it all. It offers a simple, tranquil break, yet with so much to offer!!
