1st time @ Castleton

We arrived a day early at Castleton, having travelled from the Wharfedale CS. The wardens were really friendly, booking us in without any fuss dispite the early arrival not being registered on their computer. The site is lovely and clean, nicely laid out, quiet, with the usual high standard toilet/shower block. Castleton is only a 10min walk away offering 6 pubs, cafes, general stores etc. Hope is a little further at 15mins in the opposite direction. There is a good Spar in hope if you need any groceries. Look forward to going back as this was our 1st visit to the Peak District. The only grumble is that the wifi is poor. Great base for walking, Mam Tor and surrounding hills.

First time to Casleton

The wardens were lovely, cheerful and welcoming. We visited from Tuesday to Friday and found the site very quiet which was good. Not a great fan of hard standings but needs must. We have two English Springer dogs and I must say the dog walk is extremely small so you need to get out and about, albeit the surrounding fields are full of sheep and cattle so the dogs are confined to lead walking. The surrounding countryside and villages are lovely. The nearby village of Castleton is lovely with an abundance of dog friendly Pub/restaurants and tourist attractions. We used the bus service for Bakewell (another lovely tourist location) which was an unforgettable 50 minute ride through the beautiful Peak District. Nice clean facilities, we will definitely go back.

Tired Castleton

Firstly we must say how welcoming and helpful the wardens are at Castleton. We use many CC sites but the wardens here are brilliant. Location is wonderful but site looking tired and considering how busy it is, really needs some improvement. Far too many blue pegs. Numerous small campers using white pegs leaving sparse choice for vans with awnings. However the negative is wifi. It's dreadful and a complete waste of money. After days of no service and much help from the wardens, we did eventually get some kind of connection but so unreliable. CC chat line was useless and head office not much better. If they know it's a problem and they obviously did - don't continue to charge expensive rates for an almost non-existent service. We live in the 21st century and CC need to get up to speed and stop passing the book by saying its a poor broadband service in the area, not true. Having been on numerous CC sites over the past few months the same problem is apparent throughout. Time to get your act together

Well positioned site

Just returned from a 3 night stay, site very clean (toilet block and service points do need updating) the wardens were very friendly and helpful, dog walk very small but given the amount of footpaths in the area that shouldn't be a problem, the site is about a 10 minute walk from Castleton in one direction and Hope in the other. Anyone going for the first time be aware as there is no signage until the site entrance is reached.

Lovely site

We have stayed at Castleton Caravan Club Site several times and have enjoyed our stay each time. The site is conveniently situated within a few minutes walk of Castleton and Hope. The site has generous pitches and very clean facilities. The wardens are always very friendly and welcoming and there is no doubt we will be back soon. Thank you

Great site for Castleton

Great site, friendly wardens, clean hot showers and within 10 mins walk to Castleton. Only minus point is it's signage is quite well hidden amongst the trees so easy to drive past. Really liked the family room with table tennis & pool, drying room very useful as weather was a little wet while we were away. Pitch hard standing, we arrived 7pmish on a Friday and had choice of two, seems very popular, we were fairly close to reception but very little noise. Lovely bread and croissants in shop from bakery in Bakewell. Would definitely return as so peaceful in such a great location - lovely to walk and leave the car!!

Nice short break

Just had a nice few days at this lovely site.Easy to find,good choice of pitch.used 1st one we saw !! Bit of traffic noise but not intrusive.Used shower with adjustable rail and couldn't move it.Nice to have really hot water,see signs at most sites saying hot water but it usually isn't. Walked into village and used bus to Sheffield.Weather okay and sat outside to watch the world go by.People from van next door said TV reception awful,we didn't find that a problem.

Lovely Six Nights Stay

Just returned from a lovely stay at Castleton. Friendly wardens, who obviously take great pride in maintaining the site, which was spotless and extremely tidy. As mentioned in an earlier review you do get some road noise in the bottom pitches, think the motorcyclist use the road for a rat run! Dog walk is too small but just a few minutes walk left or right out of the campsite there are footpaths. Great situation for walk either direct from the site or within a few miles drive. Didn't eat out out there are plenty of pubs to choose from in Castleton a few minutes walk away. Wouldnt say it was an ideal site for young children. TV Reception was quite bad couldn't get BBC,and this seemed to be general with the vans near us , but had no problems with the wifi at all.There are two very minor issues I have and that is that there is only one hand dryer in the ladies toilets, which usually meant a wait to dry your hands, not really enough with all the loos. Also the water in the sinks is dangerously hot, scalding, there are warning signs, but it's too hot to wash hands. All in all a very nice site.
