Stays here are in the grounds of a 17th-century house in the village of Elkesley, six miles from Worksop and 25 miles from Nottingham. Its grounds run down to the banks of the Poulter river, and are lined with stands of acacia, sycamore, ash and oak trees which were originally donated to the first vicar by the Duke of Newcastle in the 1830s.

What a little Derbyshire gem: back to basics Whitehouse Farm Campsite is a simple site in a most scenic setting five minutes’ drive from the pretty village of Tideswell. The site’s central location in the Peak District National Park means it’s a top spot for those who want to ramble or ride bikes – several circular trails leave from Tideswell and the traffic-free Monsal Trail is a five-minute drive away. And there’s plenty more activity if you require it too, as activity centres nearby can sort you out days of horse riding, abseiling, climbing and caving. All this activity isn’t mandatory, of course – this is an equally fine location for days pottering off to local pubs, pigging out on pudding in Bakewell or taking a leisurely stroll around the Chatsworth Estate, 20 minutes away. And if even that’s too much, you’d be welcome to spend some time loafing about on site: there’s heaps of space here, and as facilities have been kept quite minimal (just showers and toilets) there should be a good serving of peace and quiet to go with it all. Guests are welcome to light up a barbecue or campfire for cookouts and keeping warm; Tideswell’s the place for supermarket supplies, and it’s also handily got a fish and chip shop and a couple of pubs for days when your firelighting skills aren't up to much.

The best campsites near Huntingdon with horseback riding guide

Where to go

Around Huntingdon

There’s no need to travel far to find quality campsites in this riverside town. Several sites offer boat moorings and camping pitches along the Great River Ouse, making this a top spot for boaters. Ramblers and riders will find trails in nearby Godmanchester Nature Reserve, Portholme, Houghton Meadows, and Brampton Wood, while wildlife watchers can get their fill at sites such as Shepherd’s Close and Grafham Water, known for their abundance of birds and flora.

The Fens

Sprawling from Huntingdon all the way up to Wisbech in the north and Newmarket in the east, this ancient landscape boasts caravan parks, riverside marinas, and glampsites aplenty, offering plenty by way of watersports and wilderness trekking. The Great Fen expanse just north of Huntingdon is a top spot for afterdark adventure, with its status as a Dark Sky Discovery Site, plus wildlife-rich reserves to explore during the day.

The Brecks

At the heart of this conservation area stands Thetford Forest Park, a deep pine woodland home to nature trails, kid’s play areas, and rivers ideal for a spot of wild swimming. Beyond, pingo ponds, violet heathlands, and tiny villages provide plenty more to explore. Accommodation options include working farm campsites, glamping lodges, and woodland retreats.

Dedham Vale AONB

A 90-minute drive from Huntingdon, this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is best known for its Constable Country, a rural region immortalised in the works of Romantic painter John Constable. Rich in walking trails and cycle routes, Dedham Vale is a favourite among active adventurers, with wild-style camping and caravan parks widely available.

Chiltern Hills AONB

Discover quintessential English countryside in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, around 90 minutes southwest of Huntingdon. Rolling hills harbour ancient forests and winding waterways, while the successful reintroduction of red kites makes this a top destination for birdwatchers. No-frills farm sites, kid-friendly campgrounds, and relaxed holiday parks provide plenty of options. 

When to go

Like much of England, Huntingdon and the wider Fens are most popular during summer, when long days allow for hours of outdoor exploration. As a wetland, much of the region is flooded over winter, with many campsites closing. But for those that remain open, winter brings its own charms, including migratory birds and dramatic seasonal vistas.

Know before you go

  • This region is a camping hotspot, so supplies can be easily collected in Huntingdon or any neighboring town.
  • Many campsites and nature trails in the area are dog-friendly, as long as you bring a lead.
