Planning Edale / Peaks Campsite Recommendations?

[DavidJT]

Hi Guys, as above really. Any suggestions for campsites in the Peak District? Ideally not too far from Edale.
A few details ... family camping, with dog and car. Don’t mind it simple, but toilet a must, showers and a possibility of an open fire both a bonus. All family quite outdoorsy and experienced campers but this time it’s just a last minute half term get away. Hope everything isn’t booked up!
Thoughts and suggestions much appreciated.

Coopers farm is in Edale opposite Nags Head pub. Gets busy though. Good location for walks.

There's a camp site at Upper Booth - http://www.upperboothcamping.co.uk/

When I first stayed there in the seventies it had one breeze-block loo - now it's got good facilities without feeling like a holiday park

Thanks Broch and Riven. Will have a look at both of those.

There is a camping barn there which might be appropriate to your needs, especially if wet. IIR it does not get much use. Near the Edale outdoor centre

I live in Edale. Coopers is prob your best bet. There's no campsites in the village with fires sadly. Upper Booth campsite is lovely but books up well in advance closed until March Ollerbrook farm bunkhouses good if weather grim. Fieldhead is good campsite with good facilities but definitely less wild feeling. Highfield farm let folk pitch tents next to cars in a field if you want wilder, there must be an outside loo there but rougher end of the spectrum.

Thanks Robin - perfect to have some local knowledge. Hope all's well with you.

If you're up for it try here...

Excellent views. Quiet past 5pm all year. Unfortunately, no toilets. But I use a porta potti in my van. Is this an option? No showers either, but the lake is 10 yards away....... or you can improvise a very good car shower by using a 1.5ltr cola bottle with small holes stabbed in the screw lid (my shower of choice almost every day)

Just a thought, if you're all up for a step further... unaware of your vehicle type.
