  • Pop-up site next to a South Yorkshire country pub in Midhopestones
  • Longdendale Trail a five-minute walk; Sheffield half an hour’s drive
  • Home-cooked food, real fires and a beer garden; hiking from the site
Fancy the sound of a pop-up at a pub? Now’s your chance to book exactly that, as Ye Olde Mustard Pot in the village of Midhopestones in South Yorkshire is opening its doors to tourers, where they can stay in the large car park with ample space. The advantages of being so close to a pub? The home-cooked food (eat in or order a takeaway) and an excellent range of drinks including a choice of Yorkshire real ales will do for starters. Then there are the three real fires in the lounges – spot on for cosying up when the weather is less than its best. On balmy days, the pub has a large beer garden for alfresco meals and drinks. You get to use the pub loos if needs be too… and crucially you'll be able to walk home easily without any need to worry about who's driving. Bring the kids, bring the dogs – there are strolls up to Underbank Reservoir (15 minutes’ walks) directly from the site. If you’re in need of anything foodie, you can be in Stocksbridge and stocking up at the essentials shop within five minutes’ drive.

Non-electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Loved this place. The pub was a little gem, lovely ambiance and location. There was a wedding reception in full swing when we arrived but this did not detract anything being available for us. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We were able to order food which was good quality and good value. Our pitch was in the car park which we shared with all wedding guests but absolutely fine for us. We were fully aware of this when making the booking, we don't mind as love a really good pub/food and somewhere to relax in our van, a lovely get-a-way to chill. Lovely surroundings and very pleasant views.

Disliked: The car park has a bit of a slope so it takes a bit more thinking about to pitch up, but this was not a problem for us.

Liked: The staff and pub was lovely, we were made very welcome indeed. Had a meal in the evening which again was very nice. Lovely views across the valley and very quiet overnight.

Disliked: Unfortunately the carpark is sloping and we didn't quite manage to get level but for one night it didn't matter.

Not a campervan stopover.

Non-electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Nice location and attractive building.

Disliked: They finish doing food at 5.45pm on a Sunday and close at 8pm so we didn't get a chance to try the menu. But the big problem with the place is the carpark has a substantial slope and the only level section could not be used for campervans because of fire apparently. There are no facilities if the pub is closed so it's not worth £15 It's not a camper stopover really.

Non-electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: The pub itself is lovely. Food was really, really good. We slept well as the pub closes early and no one else was around. Although it’s not advertised here they have put in some electric hook up points and it’s going to be £5 extra per night if you want this. Great place for an odd night or two maybe as a stop enroute to somewhere else.

Disliked: Pitch is on a slant. No loos after the pub shuts (this is clearly stated beforehand though!)

Local attractions

After some time contemplating wide-open moorland? Grab the walking boots and head for Howden Clough along the High Stones walking route, or follow the Longdendale Trail from the car park (both five minutes’ drive) up to the historic landmark of Woodhead Railway Station. Fancy a day in the big city? Tour the steam engines and former factories at the Kelham Island Museum in Sheffield (half an hour) for a taster of regional heritage, or take the kids to clamber over fire engines at the National Emergency Services Museum. Alternatively, have a wander in the Winter Garden and book an evening performance at the famous Crucible Theatre. To stay more local, tour the formal plantings and parkland at National Trust-owned Wentworth Castle (20 minutes). And if you’re looking for rainy-day ideas (always sensible in Yorkshire), take the kids to run off energy at Jungle Monkeys (five minutes), have nose around the former blacksmiths and railway station at Wortley Top Forge (10 minutes) or spend a happy half day on the water slides at Barnsley Metrodome Waterpark (25 minutes).
