Campsites accessible by public transport from Nott'm

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie here and this is my first post...

W/out owning a car, I've always found it very difficult to find campsites that are within reach of the local buses/trains. In the distant past, I have always been taken to them, but these days, I prefer to be more self-reliant, but have been limited to the places where I've been before.

Places where I've gone on my own are: Eric Bryne's Campsite, Baslow, Derbys; Edale National Park Campsite, Derbys; Deepdale Campsite, Burnham Deepdale, N.Norfolk and two sites in Betwys-y-Coed, Snowdonia (forgot name). All these places are fairly reasonably-priced and some v cheap and they're all done by bus, then train journeys.

Are there places where you can recommend pls? I don't like really big sites with lots of entertainment where lots of ppl get drunk and make too much noise at night. It would be great if wild campfires are allowed too, but they are in the minority tho'. Also, I'm keen on just the basic facilities with just shower and kitchen areas would be nice, so nothing too fancy as I don't wish to part with too much money! Just wanna go somewhere with lots of unspoilt natural beauty away from the sprawling city of Nott'm where I live...

thanks for any replies in advance xx
