Looking for a get-away-from-it-all camping experience?
Enjoy peace and quiet at North Lees campsite and wake up to bird-song, Stanage Edge and the great outdoors.
North Lees is located in a sheltered valley, 1.5 miles north of Hathersage. It is within short walking distance of numerous world-class climbing, bouldering, cycling, and walking routes.
North Lees campsite is an ideal base for those seeking quiet outdoor recreation in stunning surroundings and for visitors wishing to explore the Peak District National Park. The nearby woodlands, farmland and moorland are managed for conservation and form part of the Stanage-North Lees estate which we manage.
How do I book?
You can book your pitch online using the table below. If you are a group larger than five people please email northlees.campsite@peakdistrict.gov.uk.
Please note: If a date is grey, this means we are fully booked.
Important Information: Car Parking at our site is limited. If during the booking process you are not offered the option of “Grass Pitch One Car Included” it means we have no more parking space available on site for your chosen dates.
When you book please be aware that we are an open plan campsite. The "site" that you book allows you to pitch your tent anywhere on our grass fields. Visitors are not allowed to drive vehicles (cars, motorbikes, campervans, etc) on to the grass. To bring a vehicle you must book a pitch with One Car Included and park in the adjacent gravel parking areas.
If you don't want the hassle of carrying and putting up a tent, you can also book one of our camping pods online.
Booking ahead of time is essential during the summer, especially on holiday weekends.
What are your camping fees?
Please note, a surcharge of £1 per guest will apply on all Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights over a Bank Holiday weekend.
Under 18's must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
There are additional fees for cars, minibuses and motorcycles.
See the full price list.
Opening times
We are open every day except Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
Campsite facilities
North Lees campsite offers a fully-equipped shower block with separate men's and women's showers and toilets. We also offer a dedicated disabled toilet and shower facility.
We provide a washing-up area and recycling bins are provided throughout the site.
Please note: we do not permit charcoal barbecues or open fires.
What does the site look like? I don't want to camp in a parking lot!
Fear not! At North Lees campsite you really will feel like you are in the Peak District National Park.
The site consists of three gently sloping fields with car parking spaces that separate the camping area, but still easily accessible. We also provide wheelbarrows to help transport kit to your perfect tent pitch. North Lees is ideally suited to small tents and there is limited space on site for large tents which attract a £12 surcharge which is added during the booking process.
I have a camper van, can I still come?
North Lees campsite does not provide hard-standing or electric hook-ups for camper vans. Anyone sleeping in a vehicle on site must park in one of the car parking spaces and will be charged per person, per vehicle. However, depending on availability we may have limited camper van spots that are slightly separated from the main parking area.
What kind of supplies do I need?
North Lees campsite prides itself on its isolation and secluded location. As such please be aware that the nearest shops are in Hathersage (1.5 miles south) which is a short walk or drive away.
How to do I get there?
The campsite is accessible by public transport and if you arrive with a valid public transport ticket, you can receive a discount of 50p per stay.
