    Lace up your hiking boots and head for the hills of the northern Peak District with a stay at Crowden Club Site. Situated six miles northeast of Glossop, this campsite offers stunning views around most of its borders and is close by to two picturesque reservoirs in Woodhead and Torside.

     

    Put your feet up

    This cosy campsite has grass and hardstanding pitches to welcome all camping unit types and even has a few small camping pods that provide comfortable accommodation for a maximum of two adults and two children, or three adults. A long stretch of the Pennine Way runs near the site, and backpackers who are carrying their own gear will always be welcome to stay for the night and rest their weary legs.

     

    Haven for hiking

    You’ll be spoilt for choice with walking routes from this site including many famous Peak District hikes such as Holme Moss and also a long stretch of the Pennine Way. The area is also blessed with other historic attractions that don’t require quite as much leg power, such as Ladybower Reservoir, the village of Castleton in the Hope Valley, and Chatsworth House and grounds a little further afield in the south.

     

    Eager to explore new hiking routes around the Peak District? Don’t miss your chance to book the perfect basecamp for adventure at Crowden.
