Campsites with campfires near Leeds

·

About midway between London and Edinburgh, in West Yorkshire, Leeds is a large city, with lots of high-rise buildings and one of the busiest railway stations in the UK. It's also a major hub of education–with five universities–and, as a result, has a thriving nightlife scene. Museums abound, from the large multidisciplinary Leeds City Museum to the Thackray Museum, which covers the history of medicine. As Leeds is an urban hub, you’ll need to head out from the city to find camping, but there is a long-distance footpath—the Leeds Country Way—that travels the rural outskirts of the city.

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.

With a private valley, formed in the last ice age, acres of land and woodland to explore, our farm has a very special feeling which has been mentioned by every visitor. Occupied by some beautiful wildlife, including buzzards and owls, deer, badgers and foxes. The Wagons have a grass roof, firepits, sleep 4 (in double bunk format), they are hand-made from reclaimed materials salvaged from the local town and other areas, double skinned and insulated with sheeps wool. They have a 2-ring gas-burner in the cute kitchen area, dining table and seating, and are the perfect home away from home. All the decor is vintage, including cuttlery, crockery and even the childrens teddy's. Being on the doorstep of Dalby Forest, there are hours of entertainment to be had. You can follow the stream at the bottom of the valley to the River Derwent or venture into the surounding woods. We can provide a guest pass (free access) for Dalby Forest. The Wagons are not powered by electricity and are romantically lit by candles and oil lamps. Heated by cast iron gas heaters.

Where to go

North York Moors National Park

About an hour's drive northeast of Leeds, North York Moors National Park is particularly popular among walkers, with roughly 1,400 miles of public footpaths and plenty of room for cycling and equestrian pursuits. It's also an International Dark Sky Reserve, making it a brilliant destination for stargazing. One way to explore the park is by hopping aboard the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, which runs from Pickering to Whitby, calling at a number of remote spots along the way.

Yorkshire Dales National Park

Head north and you'll soon find yourself at Yorkshire Dales National Park, a massive expanse of protected land, the vast majority of which is privately owned. The park is a fantastic place for walking, with miles of footpaths, many of which are wheelchair-friendly, as well as lakes, rivers, and waterfalls. Popular activities include fell running (running up hills), rock climbing, caving, kayaking, and mountain biking.

Peak District National Park

Encompassing around 555 square miles of protected land, Peak District National Park draws throngs of visitors with its walking and cycling paths and abundance of flora and fauna. Guided ranger-led walks take place throughout the year and focus on everything from navigation training to learning about birdsong.

When to go

The best time to visit Leeds and the natural areas around it is between June and August, when temperatures are at their highest and there's generally less rainfall. Leeds really comes to life in the summertime, with all sorts of outdoor concerts and festivals. Spring is also a great time to visit, particularly if you plan to visit some of the national parks in the area, which fill with colourful blooms during the season.
