Hooton Lodge Farm is a lively, family-run campsite and events ground beside the River Don at Hooton Roberts, between Rotherham and Mexborough in South Yorkshire. It sits in a secluded valley yet grew out of a fishing camp, and there is still a private fishing peg on the Don for guests. The camping is a large open field with a limited number of electric pitches, taking tents, caravans and motorhomes, plus bell-tent glamping for anyone who wants a pitch ready on arrival. This is a social, entertainment-led site rather than a quiet retreat, with an on-site bar and restaurant, live music and events, and a children's play area, so families and groups tend to enjoy it more than campers hoping for silence. Campfires are allowed in raised fire pits kept off the grass, and dogs are welcome on a short lead. There is even a trials bike park on site. Conisbrough Castle is a couple of miles east and Wentworth Woodhouse around five miles away for a proper day out. Hooton Lodge Farm runs seasonally, roughly March to October, and pitches are booked through its own online system, so reserve early for event weekends and expect a busy, sociable atmosphere near Rotherham.
