 Have stayed at this site a number of times and had no problems at all. The site is basic and the staff are not the most polite but hey.
The campsite is usually busy but then we are usually there in the summer season.
There are a number of decent pubs nearby and the one near the train station has a childs play area.
Decent walks and good views. Will be there in 2007.

Been visiting Coopers for nearly 40 years now. Close enough just to drive up for the night, sit outside admiring the views with a beer or 2.
Not much has changed in that time but thats the way I like it.
A brand new shower block with hair dryers and piped music throughout would change the whole camp site. You know what you want and what you get.
Mr Cooper. Yes he's not prime candidate for the laughing policeman's job but a fine job him and his wife do. I suppose 40+years of running the site thickens your skin a bit. He wont take any rubbish off anybody. I have seen many thrown off without question.
Dare you to try and sneak on and not pay! no chance.
Hope to be going there for another 40 years

WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS CAMPSITE! This is my second visit and it has become my last because their policy to charge a 13month old baby adult price for camping is greedy and then cheeky to tell me its because she will be using the facilities! (we camped midweek for 2 nights and the couple next door with their one year old baby were charged less than me. On asking the woman why i was charged more she replied that "they are a family"). Other campsites/hotels/YHA etc don't charge babies.
The gap in the hedge that we had to go through to reach the toilet block was overgrown with nettles & brambles. Not good with a baby in a pram. The entrance to the toilet block had steps and a wall close to steps making it difficult to get in with a pram. You have to pay for showers, there is no baby changing table and the reviews by Catherine C, Terry and Helen Sept, Nov 2005 are still the same: "the shower/toilet block is more suited for sheep dipping, one working light in the ladies, filthy and owners not very approachable". The reception when I arrived was poor and there was never any polite greeting.
Only one hot water tap for the outside washing up sinks (take your own bucket/bowl and carry hot water to your sink).
The cafe was closed when it stated it would be open (cafe next to train station open).
The Friendly shop next door does not sell full fat cows milk, (if you need some make sure you buy before Edale).

Just come back from Coopers and find that the only positive thing about it was the views. We had a very abrupt reception from a lady who was moaning how long she would be working that day. We were also told a £5 noise deposit would be taken. I find this very off putting. Of course how many people like us forgot to collect it on their way out. Just a very cunning way to get more money from you. The facilities were very old and would never recommend anyone to go. I have been on much nicer and friendlier sites. I love camping and am very quiet but will not visit this site again.

A large, open and attractive site with reasonable facilities, next to a decent pub and a small shop.
The wash-block was fine, clean and hot water was plentiful, the surroundings were utterly gorgeous and the shop catered for the most basic needs. While the fields do have a slope there is nothing uncomfortable about it
Sadly spoilt by being the meeting place of choice for every half-cut chav and his coach-load of aggressive in-laws and feral children. A weekend destroyed by drunken noise-making, arguments, enormous and aggressive dogs and morons playing funny-buggers with car alarms at 2am.
The farmer made some attempt to get them to quieten down, but they started up as soon as he went back to the house and he didn't try again.
The site was fantasticly crowded, every inch of space was used to cram in more tents and cans of stella. The problem was not just one group by any means, probably a third to a half of the tents on site were having loud drinking sessions till late at night.
We'd booked for two nights but legged it on Saturday morning, the farmer very graciously gave us our money for the second night back, but I'm sorry to say that I wouldn't return there in the summer under any circumstances.
There's no problem with the site, its just who goes there.

Lovely location, facilities old but clean and the price was very good. However we did find it very noisy despite other reviews mentioning a noise deposit, we still had children shouting at eleven pm and running around tents and other campers playing music. A fantastic site off peak with outstanding views

We love this site and have been loads over the past 3 years, never had to pay a £5 noise deposit, I think they could just apply this to young people or something. The site is a short walk from the train station (Sheffield to Manchester line) and can get quite a lot of studenta on some time, but with 4 fielda they try to keep diffrent groups of people apart.

We have recently stayed on the farm and we had a great weekend. Our 21 month old son loved the fact we were staying on a working farm where he could see tractors etc. The farm is in a beautiful location. Its a nice unaffected farm with all the basic needs fulfilled. The shower block was basic but clean. Loads of great walks on your doorstep, and a friendly pub opposite the campsite. The shop was very basic papers etc but hope isn't too far to pop into if you have a car. We would visit again.

Visited Coopers during for 3 nights over the spring bank holiday. Choice of 3 fields, we pitched our tent on the bottom field. It cost £24 for 2 people tent and car. You have to pay £5 noise deposit which you get back at the end of your stay (provided you haven't been noisy of course). The toilets are clean, basic, but functional, showers are 10p and water was hot. Toilet rolls are replenished sometimes twice a day, but the ladies ran out a couple of times. (Make your own mind up on that one)
After all the rain we have had, especially on the day we arrived, I was expecting the site to be a mud bath, but had a walk around all fields and it didn't seem too bad at all, unlike another site we had a look at just down the road.
There's a cafe on site, which serves all the usual meals, but if your on a budget, then it can work out quite expensive. Also, just in the entrance to the site is a small shop and post office, again has the esentials.
This is a working farm and you can see Mr cooper going about his daily routine so not a conversationalist. The Nags head pub across the road was full and we had to wait to grab a seat. Prices for meals are average, about £6 to £8 Did plenty of walking on the hills and all in all, really enjoyed our stay in Edale.
If your looking for a no frills site, then I can recommend this one, but it gets full, so booking is essential. Would I come back again - Definately.

I visited this site with my wife and two kids (5 & 6). This is a busy site probably due to its location at the start of the Pennine Way. When we went there had been a lot of rain and the site was very muddy, however we have been previously and it wasn't so this does look to be just due to the rain rather than a constant issue.
There is a large, reasonably clean toilet / shower block which never seems overly full. There is a cafe on site which gets very busy at breakfast time but serves a reaonable cooked breakfast for a good price.
There is also a postoffice and small store at the entrance to the site and a pub just across the road. We have eaten at the pub but probably wouldn't return, the food was OK pub grub but it was very busy and rather crowded.
As well as the Pennine Way there are a number of other nice walks going directly from the campsite. If it's wet there are the local caves and mines which are quite famous and well worth a look.
