Weekend Trip to Alder Carr Farm

We loved camping at the farm, the site is so secluded and peaceful- lots of wildlife to see and hear!. So relaxing.

2 nights at Alder Carr Farm

The river is lovely and camping was very peaceful. We also saw a new born calf whilst we stayed! Great location and the food from the farm shop was excellent.

2 nights at Castle Howard Lakeside Holiday Park

A lovely small campsite with plenty of space. Facilities were clean and not overcrowded washing up had hot water and there was a freezer for ice packs too. Showers were hot too and a good pressure. Signal was not as bad as we’d been led to believe 4G could be found in the camping field although not in the facility block. A really nice place to stay and well worth checking out Castle Howard itself while you’re there, fascinating place.

1 night at White Peak Camping

Lovely private site! Very friendly and helpful - loved the cows nearby :)

2 nights at Four Winds Camping and Canoeing

Friendly, spacious, well located, good facilities, great access to the river. Some noise overnight from neighbouring barns, so Hest to pitch the other side of the field

3 nights at White House Farm Campsite, Wardlow

Weekend Trip to White Peak Camping

Lovely simple campsite Cheedale and monsale trail accessable by foot from site. Loved the fire pits and the no loud music rule. Would definitely stay again

Weekend Trip to Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

Pitch up wherever you like, there's no marked pitches. There's a great choice from camping in the woods to a wild field if you prefer to be in the sun. Sam, the owner is very friendly and accommodating. There are no showers, however, the choice of camping locations make up for this. Great for a weekend getaway.

Weekend Trip to Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

I loved it here I was bit disappointed that I couldn’t get into the woods and have a fire due to the forest been too dry but then if you wanna campsite then you should keep it clean and tidy so people can have that but other than that it was the best place ever

Weekend Trip to White Peak Camping

We loved our couple of days on Janice and Paul's campsite! We received a warm welcome and it's a wonderful, rural site. We were there with our sprinter van and it was just what we needed. The facilities were always clean and just as described. We loved it! Hope to return soon. :)

1 night at White Peak Camping

It was as expected and more. What a great spot! Toilets, open fire, quiet. Looking forward to making it a yearly tradition. We stayed for 1 night as it was the first camping experience for my 7 and 12 yr old sons. They enjoyed the hike and the tinned food, burnt sausages, Basic rural living, no fuss. The site is what i come to love about the peak district. If all you want is a spot to pitch up, a great one.

Weekend Trip to Alder Carr Farm

Great back to basics camping on a working farm in the beautiful Dovedale area of Derbyshire. A large peaceful field to ourselves with a campfire and access to the river. Alex is a very friendly and helpful owner.

Weekend Trip to White Peak Camping

White peak camping is beautiful out of the way and a brilliant experience Even though our weekend had the best of the British unpredictable weather we still enjoyed ourselves and the facilities available was perfect for us to enjoy ourselves

Weekend Trip to Four Winds Camping and Canoeing

Gorgeous little camp site, perfect for families, very peaceful and the river was fab for paddle boarding and swimming. Very clean and staff were super friendly and helpful, pitches are very generous making it feel spacious and private, would definitely recommend this little gem.

Weekend Trip to Four Winds Camping and Canoeing

We stayed here for 2 nights over the bank holiday weekend with our 3 children and 2 labradors. We used our inflatable kayak on the river as many families did, I would just highlight that the river to the left of the campsite can get a little fast in the wind and can be difficult to navigate back to site. We walked into March and had lunch at The Acre which was good. Walk to March took about 45 mins, slow walking, however, to walk by the river all the way you need to cross over a bridge on a fast road- there is a footpath though. The site itself is well kept and the wardens are lovely. Gutted we didn't arrive on the Friday for Pizza night! The pitches are very spacious and there is plenty of room for the kids to play games and stretch their legs. People have a good time, however, remain respectful of the other campers.

Weekend Trip to White Peak Camping

Brilliant stay, owners always on hand with a quick response via messages. An email sent before arrival with local recommendations for food/hikes etc. The dogs loved it and we will definitely be returning.

Damside Campsite

10 units · Motorhomes, Tents105 acres · England

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.

If you are hunting down a getaway near the Cotswolds and access to a high-quality pub grub and hill views are quite high on your priorities, then Hobnails View is here to deliver. The site is only five minutes’ drive from the edge of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and one of the most splendid parts? IThe pub serves good quality food with a big beer garden, kids’ play area, real ales The pub serves quality food and has a lovely fire place to relax and enjoy a pint or two and can certinly reccomend it. Unfortunately it doesn't offer any accommodation so if you want to visit the Cotswolds often you may wish to condsider hiring or buying your own little peice of land opposite to pitch up on at your leisure and enjoy a peaceful getaway and own your own countryside retreat, get in touch if you want to buy one optional. This land provides seasonal hire of a rural grassland non electric pitch situated within one of the site’s plots. Staying opposite to the long-established, Grade II-listed pub is certainly a big perk to staying down here. The pub serves traditional pub grub as well as light lunches from only a tenner, so you’ll have somewhere nice to eat out. Another big pull is the scenery over the surrounding hills. The site is gated There no need to speak to the owner jst meet online There’s parking at the pub and then it’s a short walk to reach the land. There’s a handy bus stop on the road, just behind the hedge, if you’d like to leave the car behind while you set about exploring. The local village is pretty nearby cities within driving distance include Cheltenham (20 minutes’ drive), Bristol ( 1 hour ) and west Oxford 1 hour Make your holiday memories at Hobnails View! x

Campsites near Skegness guide

Overview

Skegness is a charming coastal town that greets campers with a sandy beach, lively pier, and high-speed fun at Skegness Raceway. On top of all that, visitors have their pick when it comes to campsites. Choose from rustic grass pitches with rustic amenities, fully-equipped caravan parks, and one-of-a-kind rentals like refurbished wooden wagons. Then, get lifted on the rope course in Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, or have a leisurely stroll along one of its many walking trails. Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve calls all birdwatchers to its towering cliffs and diverse landscape, while Rutland Water offers an epic lake-top waterpark, iconic trout fishing, and lots of boat rentals.

Where to go

Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Savour classic English countryside views on a trip through the sweeping hills of Lincolnshire Wolds AONB. Take to Lindsey Trail for walking, cycling, and horseback riding, or enjoy heart-racing fun on the high ropes course in Wild Pines Park. Stay overnight in nearby Lincolnshire on a grassy hillside with views of Belvoir Castle. Pet-friendly bell tents are also available with shower facilities or opt for a one-of-a-kind stay in a renovated wagon that has access to bathrooms and a firepit.

Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve

Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve is a well-known bird observatory, showcasing 100-foot high chalk cliffs and dozens of migratory bird species. The landscape features saltwater marshes, lagoon areas, sandy beaches, and grass-filled meadows. Snuggle into a mini wooden lodge with views of Steeping River in close proximity to the reserve. A private deck with patio furniture and a hot tub makes it even more welcoming after a day of exploring. There are also many caravan parks located just outside the reserve boundary that feature full hookups, dump stations, and wifi.

Rutland Water

Stretching over 4,200 acres, the Rutland Water area is a popular summertime destination with abundant aquatic activities. Slip and slide through the waterpark, fish for trout in the reservoir, or set sail to explore the man-made lake on canoes, kayaks, SUPs, and row boats, which are all available for hire through local companies. Then, reserve a grass pitch at a rugged farm campsite with firepits and picnic tables, or drive the motorhome into a holiday park with full hookups.

When to go

Summer in Skegness has the warmest temperatures of the year, though rain is still common. January and February are coldest, so look for heated lodges and glamping pods with wood-burning fireplaces in winter. Anglers should plan to visit Rutland Water from March until early June. And though Gibraltar Point gets flocked with migratory visitors year-round, campers looking for particular species should check which seasons they come through the area.
