Good for families

Better for its refresh

I've never been impressed with the busy village of Castleton with its plethora of gift shops and eateries. The area itself is a walkers paradise though and it is no surprise to see so many on site. There are walks along the Hope Valley which are relatively flat but the off road tracks can get muddy and it is sheep rearing country so dogs on lead. There is a bus service but ignore the stops on the closed MamTor road! Access through Castleton for wheelchair users was hampered by advertising boards on pavements and retail deliveries - three pubs getting their beer at the same time! Site was easy to find and Reception run efficiently. Motorhome service point has the open grate. Shame the MSP is on a slight slope so not all tanks will fully drain. Also, you face the possibility of having to access the MSP when on site by going around the one way system including through two barriers unless you cheat and reverse over a short distance. Toilet block immaculate but the decor is the old style green. No sign of colours reflecting the brand image when it was updated. All hard standing pitches but not all pitches are level. Wardens allow you to pitch looking over the countryside [drive in] but insist on the peg rule to maintain the gap. Access road is tight and traffic jams occur as people move on/off pitches. Wifi good - on pitch 30 anyway. Midweek break price was terrific value for a single person. Ideal for walkers. Worth a visit into one of the caves. Peveril Castle may be more suited to those with a passion for history.
