The scent of damp bracken drifts in on the breeze, and somewhere beyond the ridge a curlew calls across the moor.
This is a quiet pitch for tent campers and campervan tourers who prefer simplicity over amenities — no frills, just somewhere to settle for the night in open country. Dogs may be welcome, so ask ahead if you're travelling with one. The moorland character of this part of the country suits walkers who want an early start on the fells, or anyone happy to wake without the hum of a shower block next door.
Facilities are minimal, so come prepared with your own kit and water. Check about campfires when you arrive — permissions vary and weather matters. Anglers might appreciate that Derwent Valley Fishery sits a short drive away if you fancy a day on stillwater between hikes. Expect space, sky, and the sound of sheep rather than chatter — this is one for those who like their camping stripped back and honest.
