Campsite near Peak District?

Anyone have a personal recommendation, please? Below Manchester area, within reasonable distance of M6 and that's likely to be open? Much appreciated.

 

It’s a long time ago but we camped here. Nice place near Jodrell Bank ( no jokes please @Barry Haynes ) It is open, though in common with a lot of campsites, the shower blocks are closed for the time being....

There's no way I would make a joke about jodrell bank, you must of seen me coming

 

@Lord Congi was there at the weekend, if you’re lucky he will have gone by now

 

Thanks. I don't need a hookup, shower and toilet would be a bonus. I have been stuck at home since mid March, I live on my own. I am getting to the "licking the wallpaper stage". I am after a change of scenery, perhaps take my walking boots, so nothing special. Happy to cook, in fact enjoy open air cooking etc.

 

My favourite site at Hayfield near Kinder Scout isn't opening this year or I'd recommend that.

When I say favourite I mean it's the only place I go camping nowadays.

 

The ones I know are not near the m6, but if that isn't a problem then I can share a few

 

Yes, please, Paul.

 

Park House Campsite
Ashford Lane
Monsal Head
Bakewell
Derbyshire
DE45 1NJ
01629 640463

No idea if open this year.
No kids
Quiet
V near Monsal trail for walking or bikes.
Big pub at Monsal Head
V small real ale pub 5 mins walk away in little Longstone

 

Coopers Farm in Edale is a busier option, if you want interaction with people?
Entertainment from crazy farmer who will tell you you have done the wrong thing, parked in the wrong spot etc etc.
Sometimes you just turn up and get told you should have booked.
Sometimes you try and book and get told to just turn up.
Loads of good walking near by.
Pub is v close to campsite
You may bump into Jarvis Cocker.

Not stayed here for a long time

 

Do you have to be South Of Manchester?

If not consider Goredale Scar Campsite (near Malham, in North Yorkshire Dales).

Not that far from the M6.
Malcolm is the most entertaining of campsite owners.
Great walks
Lots of pubs in Malham

 

Peak district:

@merlincat likes Hardhurst Farm, Near Hope, Castleton & Edale

Rowter Farm - a very basic campsite at the top of Winnats Pass (high up near Mam Tor) above castleton
Can be very windy, big walk back up the Hill if you go to the pubs in Castleton

Duke of York, Pomery near Buxton

Waterside is closed for the foreseeable

 

Down to the coronavirus, I would guess.

 

+1 for Monsal head , we stayed in the pub but cycled the trail and walked along the valley - the mill was derelict (now a posh hotel ) probably stayed well before the campsite was developed . I`ve since stayed further down the valley towards Buxton behind a pub , The Royal oak rings a bell and it was lovely or the Hope / Castleton area is gorgeous and well worth an easy bimble up Mam Tor .
There`s plenty of small sites and it`s a gorgeous area - get down there man !!

(and post some pics , some of my best adventures have been impromtu solo escapades ...)
