About Chrome Hill
Tucked into the high Peak District just outside Buxton, Chrome Hill is a tiny, remote spot offering spectacular mountain scenery and direct access to some of Derbyshire's finest walking country. The site keeps things simple — non-electric grass and gravel pitches, a spacious shower and toilet block, washing-up facilities and a dedicated dog park — but the real draw is the location. You're minutes from world-class climbing, cycling and canoeing, with Buxton's historic spa town close enough for supplies or a proper meal out.
Campers consistently praise the peaceful atmosphere and the genuinely helpful hosts, though a few note the basic facilities can feel a little tired in places. Barbecues are welcome, dogs are allowed year-round, and with space for only a handful of units, you'll never feel crowded. It's an honest, well-placed base for anyone serious about exploring the Peaks.

What visitors say
Chrome Hill and the Dragons back is a beautiful part of the Peak District and if you are an able walker, it's well worth walking the entire length of the ridge to view it's entity from all vantage points. The surrounding area is stunning at this time of year with the heather and gorelse in full bloom. If walking the full length , be prepared for some steep ascents and descents. The effort is worth it

A nice easy climb this one. And after Parkhouse Hill you will know what I mean. It was a pleasure hiking up this and would recommend. See if you can spot the rabbit.

Chrome hill is a fantastic hike, but be warned, it's a proper climb in parts! Although mostly easy, it's really steep and rocky at certain points, so it's not ideal for dogs. Leave your furry friend at home for this one. They'd have a tough time with some of the trickier sections. It does get very busy in summer, so if you're wanting a more secluded walk, try heading out in the cooler months.

Went on a surprisingly warm day - take water! It's a nice scenic walk with great views, very steep over the main hill. Careful foot placement required in parts too. Recommended.
