Hope Valley Camp 2021

Join us for a weekend of camping and walking in the heart of the Peak District National Park. Hardhurst Farm is a great campsite on a working farm in the popular Hope Valley.

Hope is ideally placed for access to some of the best walking the Peak District has to offer.  Options for walks include: the Great Ridge; Win Hill; Kinder Scout Plateau and Ladybower Reservoir. Choices of walks will depend on leader availability. We will aim to offer at least one walk on Saturday and a shorter walk, possibly ending with a pub lunch, on Sunday.

If you would prefer a more relaxed weekend, you can chill at the campsite, visit some of the nearby villages or take a trip to the caves in Castleton.

The Travellers Rest Pub is adjacent to the campsite. They usually serve great food and if they're open and some may choose to eat there on Saturday evening.

Campsite Facilities

Facilities on the campsite are limited, but perfectly satisfactory. There are plenty of warm showers, and even a small cafe if you don't want to cook your own breakfast.

For more information on campsite facilities, please review the "What to Bring" section below.

Hope station is only a short walk away, so the site is easily accessible by train from Manchester or Sheffield (see location details below).

Campervans, motorhomes and caravans

Campervans and small motorhomes can be accommodated on the tent camping field. Larger vehicles and caravans will need to be parked on a separate hard standing area. To enquire about availability, contact the OutdoorLads office on support@outdoorlads.com. There will be an additional cost involved. 

Four-legged friends

Well behaved dogs are allowed as long as they are kept on a lead and are looked after by their owners at all times.
