......... Around the Sheffield area (20ish miles)that has EHU/showers they don't have to be fancy showers All the sites I have looked at on here are either fully booked for the dates I want or right next to a main road/railway track or there was some other problem that came to light after reading a review
I have also looked on other sites and now my eyes are going squiggly with the looking and I've lost the will to live lol
Regards Steve

Hi Steve, Have you looked at Greensprings in Barnsley.  Haven't stayed there myself but it has good reviews.

Go to the camp site search and stick a pin in the map on Sheffield and then choose sites within 20 miles and it will bring up what's available.

Some people had an issue with motorway noise at Greensprings and I'm a light sleeper So it's on the list as a reserve Thanks for the suggestion
As for sticking a pin in the map bin there done that lol
I have about 7/8 sites on a list that I keep going back to have a look at and every time I go and look I find a fault with one and it gets knocked off the list
Favourite at the moment is the Teversal CC&C site but it might be a bit too far south

Holme Valley C&C Park is also on the list So is Laneside in Hope but again they have things that I'm not happy with nothing major just me being picky

Just a wee bit Keely thanks anyway and you Loz1

The reason I am off to Sheffield is that my son is doing a 4 day Engineering taster course at the UNI So rather than drive up to Sheffield then home again the same day I thought I would try and find a site fairly close and stay at for 4 nights but having difficulty choosing a site

Lucky escape, you don't want to go to Holme Valley! although I don't know what Laneside is like.

Explain please Mrs Bonce and have you done a review as all the reviews I have seen of Holme Valley were favourable The only reason I didn't book was that I couldn't find a price Didn't want to ring up and get stung for £20 a night lol

Stayed there a few years ago, before the days of UKCS. Unless things have improved, it has poor access, run down facilities and someone tried to steal our caravan wheels! Wasn't very cheap either if I rememeber correctly.

have you tried doing a camp-site search within say 5 miles of your venue

Just tried a quick search if nothing then extend it to ten miles
5 Mile radius
