Stunning location and clean facilities.
If we have a criticism it is that site accepted an overwhelming number of campers over the weekend - this made the facilities overcrowded and overused and compromised the "Covid security", which was a worry for us as we are of an older age group.

This campsite is about 2km from Edale/Grindsbrook with an off road footpath that takes you straight to the Nag's Head in Grindsbrook.
It is ideally placed for walking to Mam Tor or up onto the Kinder plateau. The site itself is 3 small fields and you pitch wherever there is space.
The views are fantastic (weather permitting!)
There are 2 toilets and 1 shower each for male/female and a washing up sink, so only just enough when busy, however, for a walking weekend this site was perfect.

Stayed three nights in a tent, adult and two children. Site is beautifully situated, and the view is fabulous all day long. Slight downside is being sandwiched between road and rail (to be fair, the children loved trainspotting), so don't expect bucolic peace and quiet.
There used to be free range chickens, now there's a free range Great Dane instead, a harmless and friendly girl, but her droppings are rather unwelcome.
Very friendly ponies in field alongside, which the children loved feeding grass, however their manure has been spread all around the campsite edges for some reason.
Fantastic modern toilet and shower block (just need to fix the cold water taps).
There is no recycling on site, so if you are a fan of recycling you will need to take your bottles, plastic et c. Home with you.
Judging by the skip on site, not many do, everything goes in mixed. :-( Staff are all friendly and helpful, they could do with a proper freezer though for guests' ice/cool blocks.
Close to several footpaths leading up to the hills or Edale village.

Just returned from a weekend at this campsite me and my better half and 2 spaniels. Excellent all round.
Being keen walkers we are no strangers to the peak district (we walk here most weekends ) but to wake up here was fantastic, quick coffee, boots on and off for a 10 mile hike, then excellent pub lunch 20 minute walk from campsite.
Showers and toilets very clean. We enjoyed it that much we have booked to go again this weekend.
No better recommendation than that, roll on friday

Dropped my son, daughter and 2 of there friends off and helped set up camp. The site is small and no hook up but plenty of room to pitch the tent and park alongside.
Stunning location and views and the trainline at the back didn't spoil this. The toilets are good as is the shower room (only 2 showers) but for the price you cant complain.
I picked them all up again after 3 days and they had a great time and deff recommend this site. So we will be coming back but this time I'm joining them :-)

Very unhappy with this site, We were informed that there were 'No issues' with the site after the heavy rain fall. We were charged £25 including hook up, the hook up was up a hill (so not level) and with all the rain we had had we struggled to get to the top to access the 1 post with 4 electric points on.
The grass was too long and when the other 3 units arrived to use the electric point we were like sardines in a tin.
There is a train track at the bottom of the site but the noise is not too bad. The owners dog was left to wander the site and had no trouble defecating around the pitches. Again not happy about the dog mess and the dog was a large breed so big poos. The fresh water hose was just left in the dirt no place to hook it off the floor
Is it worth the money - no £15 max fits
Toilets were ok.
Positive - stunning views

Just returned from a weekend stay at Greenacres and really loved it. We also brought some newbie campers with us and they really enjoyed it as well so I think that says it all! The staff were really friendly in the office and the scenery is just great.
It's about a 25 minute walk along the road to Edale - we didn't have any food at the pubs but we did go to the Ramblers Inn after a long walk for a beer and that was great, dog-friendly too.
We don't have kids but everywhere was really child-friendly and it was great seeing them enjoying the outdoors. Also lots of dogs so something to keep in mind if (for some crazy reason) you're not a dog person.
The owners also let their Great Dane wander about so this is something to keep in mind if you have an unfriendly dog as well, our collie loved her though!
You are next to a railway line but personally we barely even noticed it - we were out all day though but by the evening only a few went by when we were sitting outside and didn't hear any at night.

Booked this place as we fancied a change from our usual Hope valley side of the mountains camping and found the following.
On arrival we had a little look and then we went into the office and paid for 3 nights upfront.
We couldn't find a spot on any of the other sites nearby in the vale of edale, fully booked up - this site however was basically empty, it looked nice enough and the people were really chatty and friendly but something immediately didn't seem altogether right, where was there only us and two other tents when the other sites were packed?
I would say that with a few more people there, and nice weather, we would have had a nice time, but its rained for 3 days and we havent had more than 3 hours sleep either night because of the trains and constant sheep cries, which due to lambing is constant so were cold, tired and fed up
Pros:
- Friendly staff.
- nice views (really REALLY nice views)
- Hot shower.
- Reasonably priced.
Cons:
- If the weather is bad and you're not driving, your stuck! its in the middle of nowhere, the nearest village is Edale which is a good 45 - 60 mins walk across fields and there is absolutely nothing there when you get there. Couple of pubs etc, bank holiday so rammed with backpacks and angry staff - the nearest shop or civilization is castleton, which on foot is right across the mountains - it took us a good 3. 5 hours to walk there as the crow flies, on the roads is takes a good 20 mins at least the short route.
- Theres one shower cubicle per block, the gents was under 2 inches of muddy water when I went in, turned out the shower outlet was blocked with mud and grass so I spent a good 20 mins unblocking it for them - lucky we were the only ones on the site or showers would be a nightmare with one shower if there was a full site.
- Poo Seriously, lots of it, not sure if its reindeer or sheep, but our tent, boots and anything that touched the grass is covered in wet poo. Because of th weather, obviously we tried to get into the tent without walking in with boots on, but everything smelled like poo the whole time.
Theres also a great big dog there which is friendly but obviously leaves big poos on the field, we would have said something but there was no one around most of the time. These are really big dollops and I have to say I think its really disgusting.
- Train noise. Have to say, it really did bother us, woke up every time one went past, all night long and we were near the top of the field.
Summary
If you're looking for an out of the way site with reasonable facilities, and you have a car then this is the place for you.
Make sure you have sunny weather and dry ground and be prepared for some monster walks to get anywhere.
If you are on foot, its raining or the weather looks dicey, maybe avoid.
