And despite another wet summer, many families, friends and solo travellers in and around Sheffield will be keen to step into the Peak District to have their own ‘staycation’.
Whether you’re looking to stop off at a campsite for a few days of R&R by one of the many quaint towns and villages, or hike between multiple sites while taking in the magnificent scenery the area has to offer, the Peak District offers a lot to its visitors.
In spite of its rural and isolated feel, the Peak District is actually very well connected by public transport, so even those without a car can get there with ease for a weekend away.
We asked readers of The Star to pass on their suggestions of great campsites to visit, and also combed through online suggestions to bring you those with good reviews.
