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.

Escape to the peace and tranquillity of the Northamptonshire countryside in one of our luxury adults-only canalside lodges. Whether you're looking to relax, explore or simply switch off, everything you need is right here.
Each handcrafted lodge features a fully equipped kitchen with an oven, grill, induction hob, fridge/freezer, bean-to-cup coffee machine, cookware & utensils. You'll also enjoy a king-size Emma mattress, wood-burning stove, private bathroom, towels, dressing gowns, slippers and plenty of thoughtful touches to make your stay extra special.
Outside, unwind in your own private wood-fired hot tub, enjoy evenings around the fire pit, cook on the BBQ, or simply relax on the decking or hammock overlooking the canal. All fuel for the hot tub, fire pit and wood burner is provided.
Step onto peaceful canalside walks where nature is never far away. Keep an eye out for red kites, buzzards and kingfishers, and if you're lucky, you may even spot an otter swimming along the canal. Each lodge also has its own private fishing peg on a quiet turning point in the canal, meaning you'll rarely be disturbed by passing boats.
A selection of welcoming country pubs and restaurants are just a short drive away, while the attractive market towns of Rugby & Market Harborough can both be reached in around 20 minutes.

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.

Loved this place, we wanted to stay longer! Everything was thoughtfully put together and the pitches felt private. It was lovely having access to barista coffee in the mornings, if we could get out of bed early enough :) For campers to know, the road alongside the property can be quite noisy at night. I enjoyed sitting in the barn and reading from the library, and met some lovely people. Mark was a nice host! Loved the chickens and the cats too.

Really enjoyed my two-night stay at Brook Farm. It was exactly what I was looking for, peaceful, quiet and a lovely place to get away for a couple of nights.
I stayed in my campervan with my dog and had a really relaxing time. The site had a nice laid-back feel, which was perfect for me. It’s also in a great location for getting out and exploring Ashbourne and the surrounding area.
Ann was a great host too. She messaged me when I arrived to make sure everything was okay and checked in again the following day to see how I was getting on, which was a really nice touch and made me feel very welcome.
I’d happily stay here again and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, peaceful campervan stay.

We loved camping here! The toilets and showers were really clean and nice, it was nice to have hot water to do the dishes too. The kids loved the natural play area, and the cinema. The wood fired pizza on Saturday night was super convenient and really good. The lake was beautiful, and lovely views across it.

We had an amazing weekend glamping experience at Sara’s site. Plenty of space, beautiful views and peaceful atmosphere. It was fully booked but it didn’t affect anything at all. In fact, we enjoyed chatting to our neighbours (all other 4 tents around us). All the facilities were well maintained during our stay. Sara was such a great host! She’s very patient and welcoming. Gave us a lovely introduction upon arrival and a lot of great recommendations regarding places to visit during our stay also popular restaurants to go around the area. We really enjoyed the pub she recommended. All the sightseeing was great too! We also met her daughter who’s a lovely gorgeous kind young lady and enjoyed chatting to her each time. All in all, we were very happy with our stay and would love to come back again. Thank you very much Sara for making our stay so amazing! Will definitely recommend to anyone who’s interested.

So much space! I like how the site has separate areas for families and social groups and then quieter areas for those looking for some peace and quiet. Good facilities, a little dated maybe but all clean and in good working order. Where else can you get a site with toilets and showers for £12 a night? I enjoyed my time there and as its only an hour away from home, I'll definitely be back!

We had such a fantastic time at this campsite. Was really lovely having the individual pitches and pizza on site. Facilities were also lovely and well thought out with extra touches. Really well equipped cooking facilities.
I don't know if it was because we booked through Hipcamp but we didn't really get any info before arrival and found it a bit tricky to locate our pitch as we couldn't locate the map of the campsite. But a very minor issue!

We all had a wonderful time in our glamping tent. Well equipped and spacious with a lovely decking (we were lucky enough to get an upgrade to the Skylark tent). The kids had a great time and made some little campsite friends. Great location with the lake nearby and plenty of activities. Highly recommended

Lovely family run site, clean and well maintained. Most people follow and respect the rules. We were unlucky on our first night (lower field) that a group in campers set up a party, being extremely loud until 1pm ignoring rules, however the owner did come down and explain it to them again and it stopped. All other campers were lovely and friendly. The following night was much better. Lovely walks along the canal and river with easy access to Shugborough estate so perfect for a few nights of local exploring. If you enjoy fishing you can set up along the canal for a few hours direclty off the site. The canal side garden centre with cafe and shop is a small walk up the road and the Clifford Arms pub the other. A local Spar shop is also within an easy walk with Alid 10 mins away by car. Everything was very reasonably priced and perfect for a short trip away. Thank you to the owners.

Great location and loved the amount of privacy you get, as pitches are well separated. It was especially nice to be in the forest and a bit shaded, with the heatwave! Loved playing disc golf, Lee was great and really informative. We got two hole in ones!
Our only downside is that the toilets did get smelly/dirty within just a few hours. Creating a toilet block and having a shower on site might be something to consider in the future.

We went in our campervan last year and the camp had about 12 units. We’ve just returned from a few nights there over the weekend and was a little shocked at the sheer numbers on site. Manager said that they were expecting 120 to arrive on the Friday. Bearing in mind that no caravans are allowed, the majority were tents with a lot of children with no shower or toilets. 2 men’s toilets and 3 showers for that amount of people was clearly not enough and so queuing was a bit of an issue.
We left on the Monday as did a lot of the units and it was therefore tranquil again.
I would return but only midweek and out of school holidays.
