About Upper Booth Farm Campsite
Upper Booth Farm Campsite is surrounded by countryside and hills below the heather-clad moors of the Kinder plateau. It has all the charm of a traditional campsite, a quiet place for an unplugged holiday immersed in nature. The Pennine Way passes right through the farm and it's easy to set off from the campsite to explore the valley. It's a two-mile walk through the fields to Edale, which has a village shop, cafés and pubs.
There are marked trails and mapped routes for every kind of walk in the area. From the Snake Pass, follow a circular walk around Kinder Reservoir, or for gritstone rock formations and waterfall Kinder Downfall, head for Kinder Scout, the hghest point in the Peak District. Trespass protests here in the 1930s led to the creation of the UK's first National Park, the Peak District, and now the area is a focus for restoration projects that are helping to lock in carbon, reduce flooding and provide thriving wildlife habitats. It's not far to iconic Mam Tor - the site of a bronze age hilltop fortress.
Check-in is from 1pm, with departures by 11am. In November, Upper Booth Farm Campsite is only open at weekends, with check-in on Friday or Saturday and all departures by Sunday. Quiet time is 10pm - 7am so please make sure this works for your group before booking. For group bookings, directions, late arrivals, facility information, electric vehicle charging, local area guides and more, please check the Guide to Upper Booth Farm Campsite.

Tents
There are a couple of private pitches tucked away by Crowden Brook which flows through the campsite, one for a single small tent and the other for a group of two or three tents. Most pitches are in one of two car-free fields, surrounded by trees and with scattered pitches. They feel spacious and have a relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere. Please read the descriptions in the booking system carefully to choose your pitch.
Campervans
There are grass campervan pitches in the upper camping field, with no electric hook-up. We can accept roof tents on these pitches. Sorry, we are unable to accept caravans, motorhomes or trailer tents due to access restrictions. The maximum campervan length is 5.5m.
Camping barn
Up to eight people can sleep in the barn, which has a decked area for sleeping mats, a picnic bench, lighting and electrical sockets. It's dog friendly.
