About Damside Campsite
Tucked into the Derbyshire hills near Buxton, Damside Campsite offers a proper back-to-basics escape on working farmland. The setting is genuinely spectacular – think rolling moorland views and direct access to walking trails that make this a paradise for hikers and their dogs. Campfires crackle under the stars, barbecues sizzle come evening, and there's enough space for larger family tents without feeling cramped.
Facilities are deliberately simple: portable loos, a washing-up area, and car parking right by your pitch. It's wild camping in spirit but with just enough infrastructure to keep things civilised. The remote feel is part of the appeal, though Buxton's shops, pubs and restaurants are close enough when you need them. At around £20 a night for non-electric grass pitches, it's excellent value for anyone wanting genuine countryside immersion without the frills.

What visitors say
This rustic working farm site offers great views. 2 people in a campervan was £20 p/n with no EHU. Fresh water is available, together with the opportunity to empty your grey & back water. The sanitary block is basic, but does the job. The train line is only 1 field away, and the train station itself is only a short walk from the site. Good location for walks. A couple of good pubs also within walking distance. Good 3 & EE mobile.

This campsite is in a wonderful location just a short drive from the beautiful village of Edale. The views from the campsite are second to none. Owner was very helpful on arrival. There are three toilets and a shower in the ladies and two toilets and a shower for the men. The downside - grass needed cutting. The blue roll to dry hands on in the ladies ran out on the Friday evening and hadn't been replaced by Sunday morning. One of the toilets ran out of toilet roll and wasn't replaced. One of the sinks were blocked in the washing up area which meant food was left behind in the sink. Overall it was ok £10 each per night. Could do with a few improvements.

Great campsite, clean and well stocked toilets, great views. Super fast replies from the owner as we only reached out 24 hours before arrival and still no issues. Loved seeing the animals in the fields, amazing proximity to trails and train station.We would definitely recommend!
