Castleton, Peak District's most scenic village, CAMC Campsite, what a wonderful place - Vanlife UK

This is a fabulous place we've been looking forward to visiting for a long time. Join us for a scenic drive across stunning countryside and we have a look around the pretty village and visit a couple of lovely traditional pubs.
The campsite has everything you need and it is walking into Castleton which is perfect. It has a lovely relaxed vibe and excellent facilities.
It's our first day here and we're really impressed and the weather making it look even more beautiful.

Welcome to our doorstep! Castleton is 13 miles as the crow flies from our house. Mrs Slaw’s happy place is walking the Great Ridge from Lose Hill to Mam Tor. Make sure you buy some Blue John jewellery as a memento ❤

Thanks both for a great video and introduction to Castleton. We are always on the look out for campsites that are within a walking distance of a nice town, so this interests us. However I have a question if I may, my wife uses a wheelchair which I push, is the walk to the village (and back) suitable do you think ? Cheers, Linda and Roger

[@livenlettravel6524]

Hi Roger, Linda, thanks so much for watching and your comment, glad you enjoyed it. We would say distance wise it's a good 10-15 mins walk and coming back is uphill and also there are not pavements for all of the way so maybe not so good for a wheelchair but there is car parking in the middle of the town for your car if you are with a caravan, not sure if it takes motorhomes. We are thinking Tewkesbury which we really liked both campsite and town would be suitable, we have a campsite vlog from there if you'd like to take a look. Feel free to ask any further questions, many thanks Gill and Mark😊

[@rogerlathbury9860]

Hi Gill and Mark, many thanks for your kind reply. With no pavement this does seem to be an issue, so maybe look ekse where. We have a 7.5m and therefore not ideal for a car park !!
We did go to Twerksbury two years ago to the CAMC site. As you mentioned we found this ideal and really enjoyed seeing the Abbey and looking at the numerous shops, not forgetting tying a couple of pubs.
We are of the the Keswick site and then down to Bowness on Windermere beginning of next month, so really looking forward to that.
Keep posting he videos really enjoying them, take care, Linda and Roger

@@rogerlathbury9860 As you are in a motorhome, we had another thought. Lincoln has a car park where campervans stay right up by the castle. We were there for a few nights last year and it was great. You would easily be able to get to the top part of Lincoln which we found the best part with the castle and Cathedral plus good eateries. Cheers Gill and Mark

[@rogerlathbury9860]

Hi both, thank you for the recommendation. We know Lincoln is lovely however Linda has recently had to start using a CPAP machine and at the moment we need EHU to use it and therefore a car park doesn't work. We are looking at a power bank to provide 230v, but quite an investment and so I need to get it right. Thank you for taking the time to message us, and we value your recommendations, if you do think of anywhere else I would appreciate your thought. Cheers, Linda and Roger.

@@rogerlathbury9860 Thank you both, yes we will let you know if we find any suitable campsites. Hope you find the right power bank soon, we find ours very useful. You're welcome, we enjoy interacting and helping out and often get tips from other people too. Enjoy your travels and the lakes,😊take care, cheers Gill and Mark
