Newfold Farm
Derbyshire
Newfold Farm is a classic Peak District dog friendly campsite tucked into the heart of Edale, at the foot of Kinder Scout. It has a long-standing reputation among walkers, vanlifers and dog owners as the kind of place where muddy boots, wagging tails and open fires just make sense. The setting is dramatic, with direct access to the surrounding hills, and the site has a welcoming, sociable feel.
Dogs are warmly welcomed across the site, with the only exception being the Luxury Bell Tents. There is plenty of open space for early morning strolls or lazy evening walks, and the Pennine Way starts right from the village, opening up endless trails for adventurous pups. Nearby pubs like The Old Nags Head are dog friendly and perfect for a post-hike pint. The on-site cafe and bar serve local food and craft beers, often with live music through the summer months.

Is Newfold Farm dog friendly?
Newfold Farm is very much a dog friendly campsite, earning a 9/10 rating on Wildpack Collective. Dogs are welcomed across the site, with plenty of open space to roam, direct access to the surrounding Peak District hills, and the Pennine Way starting right from the village of Edale. The nearby Old Nags Head pub is also dog friendly, making it easy to round off a long walk in good company.
Are dogs allowed at Newfold Farm year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions for dogs, and the site has a long-standing reputation as a go-to for walkers and dog owners in all conditions. That said, it's always worth contacting the campsite directly to confirm availability and any seasonal policies before you book.
What should I know before visiting Newfold Farm with my dog?
The one thing to be aware of is that dogs are not permitted in the Luxury Bell Tents, so if you're booking one of those you'll need to look at alternative accommodation options. Otherwise, the site is well set up for dogs — there's open space for walks, direct trail access onto the hills, and an on-site cafe and bar where you can relax after a day out on the fells.
