Red Sky at Night Campsite

11 units · Motorhomes, Tents10 acres · Monmouth, Wales

If you’re lucky, you’ll get to see at least one of the amazing sunsets at Red Sky at Night Campsite near Monmouth – but if you don’t, there’s mighty compensation in the shape of the spectacular views from just about everywhere on the site. And of course, on clear nights, the night skies are diamond-bright with stars - we are under one of Wales' Dark Sky Reserves! This family-run camping field on a livestock farm is managed on very laidback lines. Pitch up wherever you like and feel free to park by your tent (weather permitting). Raised campfires are allowed and you can hire firepits and grills (the owners sell local eggs & sausages) and buy bags of wood & kindling. You can bring your dogs too (take them for walks in the adjoining woods) but just be sure to keep them on a lead. Kids are certainly carefully looked after here. Get a fact sheet on arrival and join mini-campers in wildlife hunts through the trees, looking out all the while for buzzards and red kites. Round and about the site, your offspring can entertain themselves on rope swings, making dens and following a mini-tractor course across the camping field. There’s also a football pitch. Wild camping this may be (there’s no electricity on site, please note) but there are two nicely designed compost loos and a covered sink areas with fresh water tap. So bring your guitar, light that fire, break out the barbecue and enjoy the chilled vibe.

White House Farm Campsite, Wardlow

60 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.

Campsites near Ludlow with horseback riding guide

Overview

Set amid the rolling hills of Shropshire, the area around Ludlow offers a peaceful retreat for hiking, cycling, and wildlife watching. Just over an hour drive from Birmingham, Ludlow offers a charming escape from the big city. Admire longhaired fallow deer and nuthatches on trails through Mortimer Forest, or go horseback riding along bridle paths in Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for sweeping views of the moors. Sleep overnight in the meadows of Malvern Hills AONB while farm camping, or enjoy comforts like soft beds and kitchenettes in a tiny home or glamping pod closer to Ludlow.

Where to go

Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Over 50 hills in Shropshire Hills AONB are accessible by public rights of way, making it easy to enjoy new adventures on every trip. Walk and cycle the extensive paths, go horseback riding on the moors, or canoe in River Severn to see the park by waterway. Camping and caravanning are welcome at designated sites in the park, and shuttle buses run from May to October for convenient access.

Mortimer Forest

With 1,000 hectares of green woodland, Mortimer Forest provides a peaceful home for warblers, nuthatches, butterflies, and fallow deer. Stroll forest paths and admire wildlife, then stop for lunch in one of the park’s picnic facilities. Designated camping pitches offer spots for overnight stays in the park, with options for rustic tent camping, tiny home rentals, and glamping tents under trees.

Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Summit 425 metres to the peak of Worcestershire Beacon, where hikers can see as far as Wales on a clear day. Walk and cycle past an array of historic sites, including the Holy Well—one of the world’s oldest spring-water bottling plants, as well as castles and ancient boundaries established by King Charles I. Find tent pitches on farms in the AONB, as well as private field and meadow camping spots for caravans, tents, and even glamping accommodations.

When to go

Ludlow is warmest from June to August, when the area is popular for camping, hiking, and canoeing. Temperatures reach highs of 22°C in summer. Competition for camping pitches declines slightly in spring and fall; however many camping spots remain open year-round. Campers visiting West Midlands in winter can find temperatures averaging around 7°C as well as rain and light snow showers.
