Me and some friends really want to go camping. We live in Sheffield, so somewhere around there would be best. The problem is, although we are mature and responsible, we are only 16 so lots of campsites wont let us camp there due to the bad reputation some teenagers have! (We are NOT hoodies!)
Answer
There are lots of camping sites in the Peak District National Park that starts just outside Sheffield

Where can you camp without a paid-for site?

Can you camp on public lands? Can you camp anywhere out in the woods? Who would I ask in my state (Maine) to make sure I'm camping legally?
Answer
First, ignore the other answers to your question. The proper answer is that regulations for dispersed camping are different in different jurisdictions. If you are near National Forest lands, then you can dispersed camp in many areas, free of charge, with a few restrictions on distance from trail, road, and wetlands as well as typically a fourteen-day maximum in a location. Check with the District Ranger Office near the area in which you have an interest.
The White Mountain National Forest (WMNF) is a federally managed forest contained within the White Mountains in the northeastern United States. It was established in 1918 as a result of the Weeks Act of 1911;[3] federal acquisition of land had already begun in 1914.[4] It has a total area of 750,852 acres (3,039 km2) (1,225 sq mi).[1] Most of the WMNF is in New Hampshire; a small part (about 5.65% of the forest) is in the neighboring state of Maine.[5] While often casually referred to as a park, this is a National Forest, used not only for hiking, camping, and skiing, but for logging and other limited commercial purposes. The WMNF is the only National Forest located in either New Hampshire or Maine. Most of the major peaks over 4,000 feet high for peak-bagging in New Hampshire are located in the National Forest. Over 100 miles (160 km) of the Appalachian Trail traverses the White Mountain National Forest. In descending order of land area the forest lies in parts of Grafton, Coos, Carroll, and Oxford counties. (Oxford County is the only one that is in Maine.)
The Forest Supervisor's office is located in Campton, and there are three ranger districts: the Pemigewasset District, with offices in Plymouth; the Androscoggin District, based in Gorham; and the Saco District, based in Conway. Furthermore, there are several visitor centers, including those located at Lincoln, Campton (off Interstate 93), and Lincoln Woods (on the Kancamagus Highway), and the Evans Notch Information Center, located in Bethel, Maine.
