Newfold Farm | Fabulous Peak District Campsite and Café

Fabulous Campsite, Café/Bistro & Village Shop

Newfold Farm in the beautiful Peak District village of Edale is so much more than a scenic campsite! Open all year round with grass and hardstanding traffic-free pitches and fully equipped luxury bell tents, Newfold Farm also has an onsite licensed café/bistro and village shop. Not only that but it’s located in the heart of the Peak District National Park, with an abundance of fabulous walks right from the door and two village pubs serving great food, so the location is pretty unbeatable too! If you’re looking for somewhere to pitch your tent, park your caravan, campervan or motorhome, or just passing by and looking for somewhere welcoming to eat, then don’t miss Newfold Farm!

Camping, Glamping & Self Catering

Whether you’re a camper, a glamper, or looking for fully-fledged self-catering holiday accommodation in an unbeatable location, then Newfold Farm is the place to be! The variety of camping options enables all your family to join in the fun. If you’re an experienced camper with all the equipment, then the grass or hard standing pitches are for you. If you want to give camping a try but don’t yet have camping essentials, then join your friends and family by staying in one of the fully furnished bell tents. Or maybe you really do prefer the comfort of four walls – then you can still be in on the fun by staying in the onsite holiday cottage, sleeping up to 6!

Newfold Farm’s campsite has been very carefully laid out to ensure that the site is as traffic-free as possible, making it a safe and enjoyable place for families to enjoy this wonderful outdoor space whilst relaxing and taking in the wonderful surrounding landscape.

Wonderful Campsite with Dramatic Views

The largest camping field at Newfold Farm is Grouse Field, a large, traffic-free grass field for tents with gorgeous views of the Edale Valley. Visitors can soon enjoy the brand-new shower and toilet block here too – due to be ready March 2024. Separate parking is available adjacent to the field.

Sparrowhawk Field at Newfold Farm offers a mix of grass pitches, suitable for tents and campervans, and hardstanding pitches for caravans, motorhomes, trailer tents and roof top tents, with electric hook up available. This field has close proximity to all facilities, and fabulous views of the Great Ridge.

As you can imagine, due to the facilities and fabulous location, in the peak season Newfold Farm can be very popular, so to allow more space and freedom, Curlew Field is an overflow field which cannot be booked, but can be allocated on arrival during busier times.

You’ll be pleased to hear that all camping fields at Newfold Farm are dog-friendly too, so your four-legged friends can join in the adventures! (Please note that dogs are not allowed in the Bell Tents.)

Serving breakfast and lunch all year round, together with regular, seasonal, evening specials on Friday and Saturday, it’s really handy for campers, but with such a unique menu it’s incredibly popular with visitors to Edale too!

Encouraging the ‘miles to plate’ philosophy, wherever possible The Fold Café uses locally-sourced ingredients to produce tasty seasonal dishes, including meat from the village butcher in Edale, dairy produce from Tideswell and wines from nearby Hathersage.

Visitors can enjoy a delicious breakfast before they head out, with a variety of options ranging from “The Full Fold” breakfast with either artisan or vegan sausage, Breakfast Butties or specials such as “Newfold Benny” with poached eggs, crispy bacon, homemade black pudding, avocado, hollandaise and crispy onions, served on a giant buttered crumpet.

Lunch is equally as good at The Fold Café, with a fabulous selection of freshly made hot and cold sandwiches, as well as hearty favourites such as pie and chips, vegetarian gnocchi, and burgers, all with The Fold’s very own twist. There’s a choice of meats and vegan sausage for Sunday Lunch, each served with caramelised peanut carrots, buttered seasonal greens, mashed potatoes, goose fat roasted potatoes, extra mature cheddar cauliflower cheese and a Yorkshire pudding. As you can see, the menu at Newfold Farm really is special and definitely worth a try!

There are three bedrooms in total, two super king-sized rooms (which can be swapped to twins if required), and one comfortable double, so the cottage is great for both families and smaller groups of friends wishing to travel together. Each bedroom is spacious and bright and all have been tastefully decorated. You will also find three bathrooms with showers and a bath.

Spectacular Location

Newfold Farm’s location really does have the wow factor! Edale is tucked away at the end of the Edale Valley, surrounded by the stunning slopes of Kinder Scout, the Great Ridge of Mam Tor and Win Hill, making for the most dramatic backdrop during your stay.

Edale itself is a picturesque village with pretty, country lanes and stone cottages, two fabulous village pubs serving food, and another lovely little café. Just five miles away, via Winnats Pass, a popular cycling route, is the delightful village of Castleton, with a great selection of bars, cafés and shops. Likewise, the nearby village of Hope has lots to offer visitors, with more shops and eateries.

In addition to hiking, Edale is a popular destination for cyclists and those who enjoy other outdoor adventures, such as rock climbing and caving in the many nearby caverns that this beautiful area of the Peak District has to offer.

Whether you’re in search of a place to relax in beautiful surroundings, looking for somewhere to enjoy a picturesque stroll or a more taxing hike, or even just wanting somewhere to stop off for a bite to eat or a refreshing drink, then Newfold Farm is an ideal choice for everyone!
