  • Nearly-wild site on a smallholding next to the Trans Pennine Trail
  • A 20-minute drive to Hatfield Water Park; pub within walking distance
  • Animals to feed and firepit on site; fishing in the pond or river
The owners of Tent on The Went are keen wild campers, but they’re very aware that the remotest of reaches aren’t for everybody. That’s exactly why, after much consideration, they crafted a quiet tent camping stay at their quiet South Yorkshire smallholding for a small, like-minded crowd. There sure is a huge amount of space to unwind in at Tents on The Went, with a riverbank running alongside the site, a large firepit and a pond. In the morning, the kids are very welcome to help with feeding the site’s flock of Silkie and Frizzle chickens, petting the goats or offering a carrot for horses like Peanut the pony to nibble on. Fish may nibble upon your line here too, as guests with a rod licence can fish along the riverbank or the large pond (day licences can be booked online). Pike, chub, dace and the occasional barbel are the main occupants. Kids who aren’t too fussed about angling can also dip in the pond under adult supervision. The remote, basic and stunning spot is set between two nature reserves, so wildlife and birds often make an appearance. Keep a lookout for resident kingfishers, deer (if you’re an early riser), the owl which hoots throughout the day or perhaps Bob the badger on the lane to the village pub, which is only 15 minutes’ walk away. Kristoff the cat sometimes chooses to make an appearance too. The Trans Pennine Trail snaking its way past the site’s front door is just about the cherry on top. With traffic-free sections, it makes a lovely walk for pint-sized family members too. Petrol stations and shops are 15 minutes’ drive away.

Local attractions

While the kids may have already gone pond dipping on the site, there’s plenty of extra space for rental watercrafts like kayaks, canoes or paddleboards at Hatfield Water Park (20 minutes’ drive) – or you may feel like a dip in the pool on the edge of the lake or a round of the aqua park’s inflatable course. And you may have also spotted a fair bit of wildlife in and around the site already… but probably nothing quite as large as the animals of Yorkshire Wildlife Park (35 minutes), which include sea lions, tamarin monkeys and hyenas. Life in the Victorian era is a far cry from the modern day, but one great way to get as close of a taste as possible is a visit to the Brodsworth Hall and Gardens (25 minutes). Kept in good order and hardly altered since the 1860s, the country house still looks rather like the original.

Liked Lovely spot, with really cute farm animals around. They have very clever facilities, even the compostable toilets are nice and clean.
Claire and Craig got the level of hosting perfect: they let you check-in yourself but if you need anything you can text them.

Liked Our 9 year old loved the animals. Very welcoming hosts, and clean, well kept facilities. We had a lovely two nights here in this surprisingly beautiful part of the country. Loved our 9 mile walk round the reservoirs. Thank you Tents on the Went for a great holiday

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite (two person)

Liked We received a welcome text from the owners on the day which had important information on such as how to get there which made the day go smoothly. The campsite was very quiet with the choice of where to pitch up and again the text had advice on where the best places were so we didn't get bogged in. They had all the amenities we could've needed including a washing up area with bins, the most beautiful shower room ever and compostable toilets which were less daunting to use than expected. We will definitely be bringing more people next time. Great site
