Great spot on the outskirts of Castleton at the end of a dead end road nothing but walkers. Lovely views over the valley. No reason you couldn't stay overnight.

Great spot with beautiful views of the Hope Valley. Loads of room so you'd be unlucky not to get a spot, lots of vans and motorhomes around. Gets a bit of early morning traffic with walkers parking up to, so you may be woken by those.

A great parking spot! We stayed for 2 nights over new year, a few cars pass at night but nothing bad. An ideal location for hiking Mam tor and surrounding walks and a perfect base for exploring the Peak District

There’s quite a few good park ups around Castleton, this is my favourite, stopped here a few times over the summer and up to last night in November. Never had any problems and always felt safe and welcome with the other well spaced apart vans around. Keep it clean and tidy if you stop here guys please. Only down side is it’s a little on the slant

Long road with many spots for parking. Felt safe, beautiful area and many other campers. Next to a bunch of caves and a little village!

A huge amount of space over a distance of about a mile with great views down into Hope valley - the higher up you go the better the views. Everything from campervans to truck conversions. The slope varies between slight to minor. Quiet after about 8pm (dark October night) with just the occasional vehicle till about 10pm. Full 4G signal on EE.

Great Spot, loads of other campers. No one disturbs you we returned twice whilst in the peaks as we couldnt find anything that matched. Some of it is on a slope but flat parts are available.

Sehr schön und idyllisch aber leider zu viele Camper hier. Auch leider ohne Rücksicht. Parken zu nah und sind sehr laut. Nachts trotz Sackgasse viele Autos und laute Jungs. Trotz allem sehr schöner Platz mit vielen Möglichkeiten zu wandern, Höhlen zu besuchen oder nach Castleton zu wandern über Schafswiesen.

Great spot, beautiful views and plenty of space. Really good signal on 3 network. Popular spot but it was really quiet.

stayed here on a Wednesday night. plenty of space all down the lane. Big turning space at the end. Nice and quiet and access to great walks. This will definitely be a place we stay again, we as 2 women felt very safe.

Have stayed here so many times. It’s my favourite place in the UK. Great views, loss of space, Mam Tor and Winnats pass on van door step. Beautiful setting and easy to park no matter your van size. Always other vans and everyone always friendly. Highly recommend.

Stopped a few times, Cars do speed up and down all day, free was signs saying pay&display weekends and bank hoildays people have took them down 4g on 3 lots of over vans along the road some levelish spots, some partimers leave rubbish have fires and bbqs at side of the road sometimes during the day.

Park anywhere for a mile or two on the road up to the dead end there are some cracker view stops and find a place to yourself if you want total peace, not level though but for a great stop like this it’s worth it. Some really nice long term travellers to talk to as well!

Great free place for a night or two , lots of other vans when we was there , very busy during the day with day visitors but soon gets quiet in the evening , short walk down to Castleton where there are plenty of pubs etc , shame people leave rubbish behind can see this causing the inevitable eventually !!!

Fantastic free roadside stopover place in Castleton, with stunning views - just leave no trace!

Stayed for 1 night last year, loads of other campers and vans, but got nice spot with great views, good place to set off for walks etc, even though busy on night had a really good night's sleep and quite.

There are dedicated parking areas which used to be parking meters, but now free. It is on a slight slope, but we were still comfortable without chocks. Amazing view and very quiet road. Definitely felt safe and would happily stay more than 1 night. Mam Tor start point also just up the road!

Perfect spot on the outskirts of a lovely village. PLEASE let’s not lose this one... don’t treat it like a campsite. Locals do ring fire brigade if you have a fire, and it’s not appropriate to have all your chairs out blocking the pavement. It’s a dead end road but still used a lot and it’s just weird to treat it like a campsite.

Excellent spot, stay here few times without any hassle.

Very quiet no hassle and beautiful views. Walked past the parking spot further out of town. Views looked even more incredible. But a further walk from the pub, if that's a consideration for you.

This is our second time in this spot. There is a few level spots at the top which we’ve managed to grab both times. Busy in the day with walkers and usually quiet at night. Some people having a party in Odins cave this time. Hasn’t bothered us they sounded like they had a good night. All quiet before 11.

Great spot, fantastic views and walks . popular with the camper/ MH comunity. Peaceful on a night and busy during the day with tourists and hikers . plenty of spaces but road is sloped so be prepared to use chocks . we were lucky to find one of the few level bits right at the top of the road

Stayed for the last Bank Holiday weekend in May here. it was busy as expected but a great place to stay with lovely views and a short walk into Castleton itself for pub lunches etc. Will be definitely staying again here. Plus my two small dogs enjoyed it.

We didn’t stay overnight but parked here all day. Was perfect for us

Great spot I e used several times. Old parking meter spots, but they’ve removed the meters so it’s free. 10min walk down to village, the ‘Devil’s Arse’ (the cavern) and the spot is bang next to Speedwell Cavern too. Quite busy road though in summer, sometimes with boy racers but they are few and far between.

A great place to stay, dead end road so not a lot of traffic. quite a few campers but loads of space. also ideal if you have a dog! will definitely be returning when the caverns open again

Great spot. Loads of room. Really quiet. You’ll need wheel chocks though as it’s not flat.

Gorgeous place! Popular with other campers, so I had lots of company last night. Great views, walks all around, and generally a calm atmosphere. 4/4/21

Beautiful scenery, stayed here overnight New Year’s Day. Great access to walks. Sadly caverns were shut so couldn’t go inside them. Parking isn’t level as it’s on a no through road, hence 4 stars. Lots of other campervans. Road is very busy with walkers during the day but quiet overnight. No bins so rubbish has to be taken away with you. Great phone signal. Everyone friendly.

This is a good road to park up for the night on however there aren't that many level spots. Weekends are very busy with walkers and cyclists and other campers. Loads of walks from here with Castleton only a 20 minute walk away. This is a dead end road but you get a lot of people driving up and turning when they realise this as maps still say you can get over the pass.

Stayed here Aug 20. Circa 7 other campers/vans/cars parked up. Would definitely use this again. Gorgeous views with great access to the lovely village of Castleton and surrounding hills. Seemed those who use it, respect it as there was no sign of rubbish

Great spot up at the top of the road as it is a dead end so not too much traffic. lots of over vans around and great views!

Very busy and noisy. Don't think we will be returning although if you want to visit the local attractions parking is easy.

A great place to visit for walking and the views directly from the parking are fantastic. Good 4G signal, good access and no parking restrictions. Stayed here many times over the years and the only issue is you'll always get youths zoom past late in the evening so best not to park near the turning area at the end where they stop for a while before zooming back again!

A great place to stop, I parked next to the crushing circle.
