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.

Where to go

National Trust Formby

Outside of Formby proper, National Trust Formby protects scenic beaches, sand dunes, and pine woodlands that stretch over 400 hectares. A diverse ecosystem, the lands under the National Trust include natterjack toads, red squirrels, and great crested newts—fascinating sights for campers and nature enthusiasts alike. This area is also home to some amazing historical scenes, including two shipwrecks (about one kilometre from the coast) and 10,000-year-old prehistoric footprints formed within sediment beds. Coastal walks, horseback riding, and canoeing are popular year-round activities for day trippers. The park has accessible toilets, a car park, and areas for dogs, but it doesn’t have its own camping facilities.

Peak District National Park

About an hour east from Formby is Peak District National Park in central England. One of the UK’s most visited national parks, it covers about 555 square miles including Hope Valley, Heage Windmill, and Hardwick Hall. Hipcampers can enjoy cycling, horseback riding, caving, fishing, rock climbing, and fell running in the park. Accommodations at North Lees Campsite (owned and managed by the National Park Authority) include 60 sites for tents, as well as accessible toilets and showers. Outfitted with electricity, heating, and lighting, the campsite also offers camping pods that accommodate up to five campers. Campervans are also allowed.

Forest of Bowland AONB

North of Formby is Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Forest of Bowland covers about 312 square miles of land that showcases the area’s open countryside, blanket bog, and heather moorland. Find extensive walking routes, rich wildlife viewing, and stargazing, among dozens of other family-friendly activities. Accommodations within the park fit every budget and adventure—traditional rustic campsites, glamping pods, cabins, and farm stays are all available on-site.

When to go

Formby’s coastal orientation brings temperate weather—typically between 2°C to 20°C. Warmer months are most popular for camping, with a peak in visitors from late June to early September. Summer months are also a good time for swimmers and boaters to cool off in coastal waters. November to March is cooler, with an average daily high of about 9°C. Despite chillier temperatures, Formby offers plenty of scenic walks and activities during winter, as well.
