About Castle Camping Certificated Site
Tucked into the Staffordshire countryside near Mow Cop, this certificated site makes a relaxed base for exploring the Peak District fringes. Pitches come with electric hook-up and campers are welcome to light fires in the evening – a proper draw for those after a traditional camping atmosphere. Facilities cover the essentials with showers, toilets and drinking water on hand, and dogs are more than welcome to join the adventure.
Open all year, it's particularly popular with families who appreciate the quiet, rural setting and the freedom to bring pets along. The site itself is fairly simple and some visitors note it can feel a little basic if you're after more polish, but for campers seeking somewhere unpretentious with good access to walking country, it does the job nicely.

We recently stayed for 3 nights. What a fabulous site! Flat hard standing pitches with electric, fabulous shower and toilet block with towels to save using your own if needed. There's loads of hot water a washing up area elsan, waste water disposal and you can fill up small containers with fresh water too. Several pubs close by, but check opening times as not open every day. We had a really warm welcome from the family too. Well worth a visit!

Just left today August bank holiday weekend. Can’t praise this place enough. Staff - Very friendly Toilets/Showers - Very clean and even have a family shower toilet room. Washing up sinks outside of the toilet/shower building. Fridge & freezer free to use if needed. Boardgames and books available. Electric on site if needed with the option to hire extensions cables for a small fee. Camp fires allowed. Can pay for fire wood if needed. Beautiful views! Site isn’t too big so not overrun with many campers. Think I’ve covered everything. Will be returning next year.
