Woodland camping near Chesterfield

·

Chesterfield packs over 170 forest campsites where you can pitch up under the canopy, swap stories round a campfire, and wake to birdsong. You’ll find sites like Intake Farm (42 reviews), Woodsworth Exploring (35 reviews), and The White Lodge (33 reviews) tucked among ancient oaks and winding trails. Most sites allow campfires, welcome pets, and provide toilets—practical forest camping, not roughing it. Prices start at £15 a night, with the average around £30, so you can stay in the woods for less than the cost of a meal out. Bring your boots: hiking paths twist through the woods, rivers hide fishing spots, and early risers might spot deer or an owl on the hunt. Don’t forget to pack a torch and a bag for your rubbish—leave the forest as you found it.

9. Rosehip Woods Campsite

146km from Chesterfield · 6 units · Tents, Motorhomes
Rosehip Wood Campsite is a nature rich, off-grid wild campsite set in a peaceful woodland. Camp in secluded clearings surrounded by trees and bushes and be sheltered from the wind or hot sun when necessary. You can spend your evenings staring into a crackling campfire as fire pits are provided and firewood can be purchased on site. This site is completely enclosed by fences so kids can roam free-range-style, make dens using branches and explore the 'secret cedar hideaway'. There is a field with a football goal for recreational activities and adjoining footpaths for road free walks. It is tucked away on the outskirts of the pretty Norfolk village of West Dereham. This beautiful rewilding project offers the unspoilt simplicity and tranquillity of wild camping within the grassy clearings of a quiet mixed woodland and balanced with just enough facilities to make camping fun and comfortable including fresh water and compost toilets. All Rosehip Wood’s pitches are family friendly and allow BBQs and campfires. Your hosts invite you to wander along mown paths, through grassy clearings and wildflowers. The woodland has been planted with lots of nuts and fruits for both wildlife and humans to enjoy. As the sun sets, unwind, and enjoy starlit skies unspoilt by light pollution against the distant calls and barks of local wildlife. The site has no lighting so don’t forget your torch if you plan on an evening amble. Downham Market is around 4 ½ miles away offering supermarkets, a market, food and drink in the town’s historic pubs and a range of restaurants. It also has a train station from which your hosts will be happy to pick you up if you are coming camping without a car. If you need an extra tent this can be rented at an extra cost. Walkers and cyclists will find maps and information available on site pointing you in the direction of local routes over farmland, lanes, long
