The cozy cocoon definitely lives up to its name. The area is so peaceful and it’s amazing seeing the rewilding work going on. Absolutely loved it and definitely hope to be back for a longer stay!

Weekend Trip to White Peak Camping

A really lovely relaxed campsite, set on a farm in the beautiful Peak District. A family friendly place and plenty of space for children to play. Toilets are clean and the washing station is also great. The campsite also a short drive to the Monsal Trail.

Weekend Trip to White House Farm Campsite, Wardlow

Clean facilities and great views with plenty of room.

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 :)

Weekend Trip to Damside Campsite

Excellent, peaceful location. Toilets spotlessly clean and pitch was great value for money. Would have liked to have purchased the fire pit but didn’t see the owners once during the whole stay. Otherwise would definitely recommend.

Lovely views and location! Basic facilities but very clean and just what needed! Will definitely be coming back for another short stay :-)

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 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. :)

Weekend Trip to The Old Chapel Campsite

We had a brilliant few days camping at Ted’s farm. Ted was very welcoming, helpful and even let us feed the little lambs! The views of the hills from the campsite and stars at night were beautiful. It was a wonderfully peaceful and quiet place, but still close enough to neighbouring villages for food/drinks. Couldn’t recommend this spot more!

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 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 Sweet Knoll Farm

I took my Grandson for his first ever camping experience to Sweet Knoll. He had a smashing time, and wants to go on holiday again next weekend. Location and views are beautiful. The facilities, whilst basic, are scrupulously clean, and everything you need for a classic camping experience. We didn't hire a firepit this time around, as the weather wasn't amenable, but that's just part of camping in the hills in the UK. Next time, and there will be a next time. We will definitely be back

Millview Glamping, Camping & Events

25 units · Motorhomes, Tents12 acres · Shelford, Nottinghamshire, East Midlands

Peaceful, off-grid vibes and walks along the Trent Valley Way, yes please… Millview Camping is a completely off-grid site just 20 minutes’ drive from Nottingham city centre and 15 minutes’ walk from the 116-mile Trent Valley Way. With westerly views over the Trent Valley and in the shadows of a ruined 18th-century windmill, this is a peaceful and scenic place to take a break indeed… Well-positioned too, with a generous handful of pubs, restaurants and cafés a scenic 35 minutes’ walk away in Gunthorpe alongside the river Trent. Radcliffe on Trent and Bingham are five minutes’ drive away for any other amenities you might (supermarkets, shops, restaurants, pubs and the likes). And if you’re after even more of a buzz, Nottingham city centre is 25 minutes’ drive away. Even with such good access to so many towns and the big city, the site itself is remote. It has 10 acres of hay meadows and woodlands for guests to explore and, of course, sublime sunsets over the valley. If you prefer to keep your whole stay pretty rural, the Vale of Belvoir and the historic Belvoir Castle are 20 minutes’ drive away from the site. It’s no frills here. The grass and woodland pitches have facilities including water and portaloo access. Dogs are also permitted, as are barbecues.

White House Farm Campsite, Wardlow

61 units · Motorhomes, Tents4 acres · Wardlow, England

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.

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.

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.

Best camping, glamping, and outdoor stays in Filey guide

Overview

Camping and glamping in Filey

Between the seaside resorts of Scarborough and Bridlington, Filey offers simpler days by the seaside. Its long sandy beach is perfect for paddling, swimming and sandcastle building and it' got a lower-key attraction all of its own with a promenade, beach huts and a bandstand just off the shoreline. It's a great launching pad for walks on the 109-mile Cleveland Way which starts at Filey Brigg, a peninsula a mile north of the town. Camping and glamping in Filey and its surroundings gives you access to wilder and quieter stretches of the Yorkshire coastline but keeps you within reach of the kiss-me-quick entertainment of the busier neighbouring resorts and offers easy access to the stunning Yorkshire moors too. The area's been attracting holidaymakers since Victorian times and there are plenty of places to stay but here at Hipcamp we steer clear of the large-scale holiday parks and caravan sites that dominate the coast and look for smaller, independent camping and glamping sites. We've only given the thumbs up to the ones that we think offer something special whether that's a classic campsite in a special location or luxury glamping in pods, yurts and bell tents.

Thing to do in Filey

Filey's golden sands are where it's at if you want a paddle in the sea, lunch with a sea view or a stroll along the prom. The town centre has independent shops and cafes and a little museum where you can learn about its history. Filey Brigg, a mile north of town, is where the Cleveland Way National Trail begins. It's a lovely place for walking, running and birdwatching. The same can be said about Flamborough Head, 13 miles to the south, with its iconic lighthouse. It's less than 10 miles to Scarborough which offers the full range of seaside attractions from donkey rides on the beach to boating in Peasholm Park and the Scarborough Sealife Centre. Inland, you can explore Dalby Forest where there's yet more walking, mountain bike trails and treetop adventures, on the edge of the Yorkshire Moors National Park. For more informationon things to do while you're camping and glamping in Filey, visit the Discover Yorkshire Coast website.

Just south of the bucket-and-spade resort of Scarborough, the smaller town of Filey offers a quieter way to explore the North Yorkshire coast, with a host of good campsites in the local area. Find the best of them today, with Hipcamp's carefully selected collection of top campsites.
