Stretton House Campsite

40 units · Motorhomes, Tents6 acres · England
If you like the sound of having farm shops and ice cream farms nearby, as well as access to lots of walking and cycling trails, Stretton House Campsite should be a fine pick for you. It has a strict no noise policy after 10pm, meaning that you should get a peaceful night's sleep too. This site is in the grounds of the 400-year-old Stretton House surrounded by the Cheshire countryside with handy transport links nearby and outdoor activities in no short supply… that includes things like alpaca walking, golf or Manley Mere’s watersports haven (a 20-minute drive away for the latter). You’ll have your pick of two fields, both with car parking by the pitch free of charge and dogs allowed. There are basic facilities including a mobile freshwater toilet block with male and female facilities and a water standpipe. You’ll have permission to start up a barbecue or firepit too (subject to the correct safety measures). When you’re ready to get going, the friendly owners will be willing to help out however they can and suggest possible days out, which may include fishing or walking at Pickmere Lake (10 minutes’ drive), visiting an ice cream farm (within 10 minutes’ drive of the site) or going to the local golf course (five minutes’ drive). For food, there’s a farm shop just two minutes’ walk away from the site where you’ll be able to get your hands on local produce. Pubs aren’t far away either – there is one pub five minutes' walk away, and another 15 minutes' walk away. Festival goers are very welcome, and the Creamfields Festival site is five minutes’ drive away. Please respect the quiet hours (no noise is permitted after 10pm) and environment, as the owners' home is on the grounds (and stick to the field's facilities only).

Caravan campsites near Sheffield with campfires guide

Overview

South Yorkshire’s largest settlement, Sheffield is best-known for its steel industry and The Crucible snooker venue, but it is also a jumping-off point for one of the UK’s finest national parks, the Peak District National Park. The Peak District and the famous Pennine Way, which begins at Edale, can be explored by regular trains from Sheffield through stations like Hathersage and Edale. With the city’s western and southwestern suburbs brushing the Peak District’s borders, the best camping can be found at campsites just within the park.

Where to go

Dark Peak (Northern Peak District National Park)

This is where UK national parks began. It was the 1932 Mass Trespass of Kinder Scout, the park’s highest summit, which largely influenced the subsequent creation of a national network of protected countryside spaces. The park’s only mountains, Kinder Scout and Bleaklow, are here, ensconced in moorland plateau. They’re closest to Sheffield, with suburb Totley right on the boundary. Edale, start of the Pennine Way long-distance trail, has great camping.

White Peak (Southeastern Peak District National Park)

South of Sheffield, the White Peak is a gentle, feel-good introduction to the Peak District. The limestone landscape lends itself to undulating dales, and while there are many lonely spots, popular spa towns Matlock Bath and Buxton draw visitors, as does the Chatsworth House and Gardens, one of Britain’s loveliest country estates. Along the winding, wood-flanked rivers are excellent campsites—start at Lathkill Dale, where several sites flank the steep valley sides.

South West Peak

Bounded by Macclesfield, Buxton, Kettleshulme, and Ilam, the South West Peak mixes the Dark Peak’s barren plateau with lower-lying pastures—and deeply scored cloughs, or wooded valleys, divide the two. Dane Valley Way and Churnet Way are two long-distance hikes that pass through. Although the South West Peak is the farthest part of the Peak District from Sheffield, it’s usually the least visited. The Manifold Valley stands out for its beauty, quiet, and pretty pitches.

When to go

Sheffield’s warmest months of the year are June through August, with temperatures in the 19-21°C range. July and August are school summer holiday months, and while Sheffield is often quieter at this time, the surrounding Peak District is far busier. Sheffield campers should consider a trip in May, with the highest sunshine hours and lowest monthly average rainfall. Sheffield’s Festival of the Outdoors (March) and Walking Festival (September) are great events in town, though there are many other festivals too.
