WHEN CAMPING
Fieldhead Campsite
Fieldhead campsite is in the centre of Edale village at the foot of Kinder Scout and the start (or Southern end) of the Pennine way. Giving perfect access onto the fells for walkers and cyclists.
​
We are a small site around the back of the Peak District National Park Visitor Centre, which is a great place to find out about local places to visit and learn more about the National Park, or just speak to one of our members of staff in Reception. Please note we do NOT have electric hook ups and car parking is separate.
If walking and cycling is what your interested in, then we are the place for you. We are a quiet site that welcomes everyone that wants to experience the outdoors whether that be wild swimming, climbing, hill walking, mountain biking or just sitting outside reading a book to get away from it all.
​
There is limited signal and no wifi on site, so you can really escape from the hustle and bustle of outside world and holiday in peace.
​
Campsite Reception & Camping Fields
​The campsite is located around the Moorland Visitor Centre in the centre of Edale. Please check in at reception when you arrive. Check in is from 2pm to 8pm. Reception is located along the footpath to the left of the Visitor Centre.

We have a small hard standing car park on the right hand side as you enter the site. Please note that there is no parking next to the pitches, however, we do have a few wheelbarrows to help you move your kit to your pitch (please ask at reception if needed). We do have very limited parking so please make sure your booking includes a car if you need a space. The pitch you have booked should say if it includes a vehicle or not but please get in touch if you have any queries.
