Cotton Star Camping is a small tents-and-glamping site at Bradfield, inside the Peak District National Park on the western edge of Sheffield in South Yorkshire. It is set on high ground near Agden Reservoir, with the Dale Dike, Strines and Damflask reservoirs and miles of moorland and woodland walks all within a few miles. The site takes tents and glamping units rather than caravans or motorhomes, and campfires are allowed, which gives it a proper back-to-nature feel for a weekend away from the city. There is no electric hook-up, so it suits campers happy to keep things simple, and dogs and families are both welcome. Low Bradfield village, with its pub, cricket green and café, is close by, and Sheffield city centre is about ten miles east. This is a scenic, low-key spot for walkers, families and campers who want dark skies and a campfire rather than a big site with facilities. Cotton Star Camping runs seasonally through the warmer months, so check current opening dates and prices on its social pages before you travel, and book ahead as it is small.
