There are hard standing pitches with electric hook-up as well as grass pitches with and without electric hook-up.

2 nights at Bredon-Vale Caravan and Camping

We stayed at Nancy's (70s’ caravan). The interior was the cosiest I could ever ask for. Minimalist but essential amenities made our stay enjoyable. The camping site offers good views, especially for watching a splendid sunset if the weather is right. Campsite facilities are well-maintained and spotless. Its location is very close to Evesham, making it easy to find shops, pubs, and access roads to other nearby destinations. Don't miss paying Shakespeare a visit if you haven't done so yet 😉

Me and my partner came here for a much needed city break by tent and it was honestly amazing! The shower and toilet are seperate facilities and both clean, there is a kitchen too with a gas stove for cooking! The site is near anywhere you'd like to drive or even walk to around the peak district, and in the actual site itself you can see all the altitude and beauty around you. The air is incredibly fresh, and the owners of the campsite are really sweet and helpful. Will definitely come back for our next trip to the peak district this summer, thank you for having us :)

Such a lovely spot. Very idyllic and private. Pitches were a decent distance from each other which was really nice - it was nice knowing other people were around but having your own private space. Dog friendly, which was brilliant - camped for the first time with our boy. He didn't like the owls! We will be back!

Where to go

Peak District National Park

Recognized as the United Kingdom’s first national park, Peak District National Park stretches approximately 1,438 square kilometres and is home to parts of Derbyshire, Cheshire, Staffordshire, and South Yorkshire. Cycling, climbing, and caving are enjoyed throughout the seasons with the infamous Kinder Scout plateau challenging its visitors to a 7.5-mile circular trail of unforgettable landscapes. With countless on-site and private camping areas in the park, campers can retire after a busy day at traditional pitches with firepits, caravan parks, glamping rentals, bell tents, or unique North Lees Campground’s camping pods. Wild camping is not permitted in the park without permission from private land owners.

Yorkshire Dales National Park

Nestled north of Edale, Yorkshire Dales National Park highlights the diverse beauty of Northern England’s valleys, hills, and moors. Visit waterfalls, such as Aysgarth Falls, and gorges like Gordale Scar, as well as intricate cave systems with unique limestone in its caves and karst landscapes. Then, take the Three Peaks Challenge and aim to summit Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough in a day, or hop on horseback through miles of moorlands. The park offers a variety of camping accommodations, as well, including family-run working farm campsites, cottage rentals, glamping pods, and private holiday parks.

Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Proposed to become the fourth National Park of Wales, Clwydian Range and Dee Valley AONB is an upland frontier with ancient hillforts, dark skies, and rich heritage. Less than two hours west of Edale, the area boasts biodiversity with geological lands dating back to the Palaeolithic period. Stay on-site at one of many camping and caravan parks, but be sure to check the details as only some sites offer electrical hookups and potable water for motorhomes. Fell running, horseback riding, and kayaking are enjoyed throughout the day, while dark sky stargazing around the campfire is popular by night.

When to go

July and August in Edale sees warm temperatures and little to no precipitation. Experience average highs around 20°C from late June to early September. Despite temperatures rarely dropping below freezing, winters are cold, wet, and windy. Consider planning your travels from late spring to early fall for a favourable forecast to enjoy everything the area has to offer.
