Damside Campsite

The gentle lap of reservoir water and the calls of moorland birds set the tone at this straightforward Derbyshire campsite, where rolling hills frame views across the water's edge. Morning mist often clings to the surface before lifting to reveal the wild beauty of the Peak District landscape beyond.

Perfect for those seeking an unfussy base in Central Derbyshire, Damside suits campers, caravanners, and motorhomers who prioritize location over luxury. The surrounding countryside offers excellent walking opportunities, with moorland tracks and reservoir circuits right on the doorstep, whilst the market towns and limestone dales that characterize this part of the Peaks lie within easy reach for day trips.

The site keeps things simple with essential facilities including toilets and showers, accommodating tents, campervans, and caravans. Campfire policy varies, so it's worth checking when you arrive if you're hoping for an evening around the flames. The overall atmosphere leans toward the peaceful and traditional, appealing to campers who appreciate waterside settings and the unpolished charm of Peak District camping without elaborate frills.
