Can anyone suggest somewhere to go camping?

Recommended Posts

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 !!!)...

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.

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.

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.
