The wind carries moorland silence across Blackshaw Moor, broken only by curlews and the occasional bleat from distant sheep grazing the Staffordshire uplands.
This is classic Peak District fringe camping — year-round pitches for tents, campervans and caravans on elevated ground where walkers, families and couples come to explore the Dark Peak's western edge without the crowds further north. You're well placed for Tittesworth Reservoir, the Roaches, and proper hill country that feels remote but remains accessible. The site welcomes tourers and tenters alike, with the kind of open aspect that makes you feel properly away from it all.
Facilities are straightforward — clean toilet and shower blocks doing the job without frills. It's a Caravan Club site, so expect tidy pitches and a well-organised layout rather than quirky character. Check the campfire policy when you arrive if you're hoping for a fire. The vibe is peaceful, outdoorsy, and geared toward people here for the hills rather than the entertainment.
Add a single landscape photo from your trip — pitch, view, sunset, anything but people. We’ll add it to the gallery after a quick moderation check.
