Anyone suggest lovely and local ( ie within an hour or so's drive ) camping venues?
Not for familys mind- for crazy and likely loud shud-know-bettas...

( David - Shingalaa * Are you there? Never said Tarah...get in touch monkey features!!)

Also more importantly, on way home from our last jaunt, we began devising a road trip involving destinations having rude(ish) or ridiculous names - just for photographic purposes and giggling that hurts u know...
Any suggestions most welcome ( We shall be starting at Coch Castle via Scrub Hill !!!)...

Shatton Moor

Penistone

Shafton Two Gates

Jughole wood

Upperthong

Fartown

Dirty Gutter

Dick Slack

Butty Moss

These stupidly named nearby places can be found on:

Also there is a camping field for nutters near Eyam Moor:

Ask at the farm just after the top of the steep hill shown on the map just above Leam. It's cheap and you take a spade in the woods. You will spot the field it's got several old caravans on it too.

There is a campsite (Farmers field with toilets) at Hope, near castleton, (I know, where there's Hope There's Castleton)

It is across from the "Old Hall" pub and past the cement works.

I have only been once, full of the younger end party-ing all night.

Go to Edale! I just gor back from theis awesome farm where the farmer just lets you do what you want! £2 a night and a 20 min walk to cafe, shop and pub- perfect, and just three train stops away!

Haha we own one of those caravans. It used to be a really nice family place, but the nutters kind of spoiled it!

If you drive out on the A57, you'll find lots of places that you can camp and wail your heads off - although none of the secluded places are official camp sites. The reservoirs are nice spots.

me and my mates always head up the porter valley...lots of great spots there, but they take a long time to look for.

PM me if you want some info :)

Springwood at Thorpe Salvin near Worksop.

Myself and two mates camped out there about a month ago and loved it.

The woods are dense and so dark. We had a few disposable bbq and some of those long bbq candles from Wilks (49p each or 5 for two quid)....and they last for hours.

A little bit of Pink Floyd and vodka.......a really chilled out night.

Used to go to Haddon Grove near Monyash. You have the Lathkill and great walking near by.

Try Flamborough head near Scarborough and Bridlington. Me and some friends camped there this time last year and had a great time on the edge of the cliffe. Was noisey in the morning though, and you could make as much noise as you wanted 'cos you're the only people there! Don't think you are suppose to camp there though.
