Peak District Club Campsites
Stay in the Peak District
Britain’s first National Park and Europe’s busiest is a diverse landscape that meanders through several counties in central northern England. Its industrial heritage and rugged beauty sit comfortably beside stately homes and prehistoric sites like Arbor Low, making the Peak District the perfect place to book a campsite or a camping holiday. Contrary to its name, the Peak District isn’t filled with peaks, but instead encompasses verdant valleys, rolling hills, wild moorland, and limestone dales – an ensemble of the UK’s finest natural landscapes.

The landscapes of the Peak District have been heavily shaped by its people. The Eyam Museum provides a fascinating look at not only how the village dealt with the plague of 1665, but also how it has changed over the centuries, with oral histories from local residents. There are castles, mansions and stately homes all across the Park, from Peveril Castle, which was mentioned in the Domesday survey and stands over the village of Castleton, to Haddon Hall, a stunning medieval and Tudor manor house which has regularly featured on screen. (Members can also save 20% when visiting). Or why not visit the imposing Chatsworth House, mentioned in Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” and thought to have inspired Mr Darcy’s home at Pemberley.
