Well-maintained and peaceful wild camping site in the Peak District Buxton 15 minutes’ drive; Chatsworth House half an hour Dogs welcome; 10 minutes’ walk from a pub; nearby playground Just how remote would you like your holiday accommodation to be? If the answer is fair to middling, Damside Campsite might just be the place for you: this pop-up spot is surrounded by the glorious wilderness of Peak District National Park. Doesn’t get much more blissfully peaceful than that – except for the occasional lowing cow, all is stillness here. Having said that, don’t worry: you won’t have to scramble across hills and dales for a pint: a traditional pub serving real ales and home-cooked food is right in the village of Peak Forest, a 20-minute walk away. Both the site and the pub welcome dogs, though it might be wise to keep them on a lead when walking past the farm animals. This is wild camping; facilities might not be abundant (there are no showers), but they are well maintained and include a portable toilet and a washing-up area. There is also fresh running water, and you’re welcome to start a campfire or a barbecue. You can grab essentials in the village shop, or head to Chapel-en-le-Frith (10 minutes) or Buxton (15 minutes). If you’re here with the kids, the flat, grassy field where you’ll set up your tent makes for an excellent play area on which to run around, kick a ball or fly a kite. A nearby playground has swings, slides, a small adventure course and a multisport pitch. Walking paths start from right outside the farm, or you can drive to hiking areas like Chee Dale Stepping Stones (10 minutes), a dramatic gorge on the River Wye.

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.

If you like the sound of having farm shops and ice cream farms nearby, as well as access to lots of walking and cycling trails, Stretton House Campsite should be a fine pick for you. It has a strict no noise policy after 10pm, meaning that you should get a peaceful night's sleep too. This site is in the grounds of the 400-year-old Stretton House surrounded by the Cheshire countryside with handy transport links nearby and outdoor activities in no short supply… that includes things like alpaca walking, golf or Manley Mere’s watersports haven (a 20-minute drive away for the latter). You’ll have your pick of two fields, both with car parking by the pitch free of charge and dogs allowed. The facilities include separate male and female toilet blocks, pay per use shower block, mobile phone charging facilities, free wifi and chemical toilet disposal and a drinking water standpipe. You’ll have permission to start up a barbecue or firepit too (subject to the correct safety measures). When you’re ready to get going, the friendly owners will be willing to help out however they can and suggest possible days out, which may include fishing or walking at Pickmere Lake (10 minutes’ drive), visiting an ice cream farm (within 10 minutes’ drive of the site) or going to the local golf course (five minutes’ drive). For food, there’s a farm shop just two minutes’ walk away from the site where you’ll be able to get your hands on local produce. Pubs aren’t far away either – there is one pub five minutes' walk away, and another 15 minutes' walk away. Festival goers are very welcome, and the Creamfields Festival site is five minutes’ drive away. Please respect the quiet hours (no noise is permitted after 10pm) and environment, as the owners' home is on the grounds (and stick to the field's facilities only). No waste accepted onsite. All rubbish must be taken home at the end of your stay.

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.
