  • Pop-up wild camping in Derbyshire’s lovely Peak District National Park
  • A 15-minute walk into Castleton; Chatsworth House half an hour’s drive
  • Grass pitches with pubs and cafés nearby, plus direct access to walks
Looking for a peaceful rural stay amid spectacular Peak District countryside views? You could have hit the jackpot at Treaks Pringle Camping, a pop-up site with a true wild-camping vibe on the very outskirts of Castleton, one of the prettiest and most popular villages in the national park. This peaceful site is surrounded by fields and has gorgeous views whichever way you turn. From the camping fields, you can spot dramatic Winnats Pass, and there are myriad attractions like the Blue John Cavern (10 minutes’ drive) and Peveril Castle (five minutes) close by. Any long-distance walkers looking for an overnight stop? Treaks Pringle Camping is close to Edale (10 minutes) and the start of the Pennine Way. Basic facilities on site stretch to a washing-up area and a toilet block, so you’ll need to bring everything with you, including torches for finding your way around after dark. Don’t forget the barbecue if you fancy cooking alfresco, but there are also pubs and cafés aplenty in Castleton. The main road through Castleton is a 10-minute walk away so you don’t need to bother with the car. Well-behaved dogs are very welcome, but please keep them on leads at all times – and do note that the pitches here are on a slight slope.

What customers say

This campsite offers a stunning location for walkers and explorers, with easy access to Castleton and numerous hiking trails. Visitors praise the breathtaking views, friendly and accommodating owners, and well-maintained, clean facilities. While the site is noted to be sloping, this is clearly advertised. Some mention a desire for more facilities, such as showers, but generally find the "back to basics" approach enjoyable. The farm animals are a popular addition, especially with families.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch (sloping)

Liked Loads of space and not busy even for the holidays.

Disliked The site is really slanted and not really suitable for camping on. The ground was also super soft and muddy so was not suitable for us and we ended up leaving a night early. Men’s toilets were also not well kept.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. As noted prior to booking, the site is naturally sloped due to its location next to Winnats Pass, so it is not flat.
We’re sorry to hear that the ground conditions affected your stay. Unfortunately, the recent heavy rain made the ground softer and a little muddy.
We do our best to keep the facilities clean at all times, but during wet weather it can be difficult to prevent some mud being brought into the toilets from the field.

Fantastic location, beautiful surroundings and quiet.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch (sloping)

Liked We had a great time at this site over the Bank Holiday weekend. The lady running the site was so lovely and was always happy to help, she even let us book in for an extra night last minute as we enjoyed it so much. And despite it being full on the Saturday, there was plenty of space around us and we didn't feel too close to anyone.

Toilets on site were clean and new, honesty snack box which was a great touch, Ice Cream van appeared on the Saturday evening, as well as their own goats in a pen on site which were amazing (and hilarious).

Really lovely back to basics campsite, with more than enough nice touches to make it a perfect place to stay.

10 minute walk to the lovely Castleton, beautiful views surrounding you and the most amazing walks right on the doorstep.

Disliked The site is advertised as sloping and it definitely is if you want to be out of the way nearer the top. Really didn't bother us at all but it's something to mention.

Local attractions

Stretch your legs with a stroll to Mam Tor (40 minutes’ walk) or National Trust - Dark Peak (45 minutes) from your pitch, and if you’re an experienced hiker, scale challenging Kinder Scout (25 minutes). Families can pack a picnic and have a gentle amble through woods and moorland at Wyming Brook Nature Reserve (half an hour’s drive). Once you’ve wandered the moors, tors and dales of the Peak District National Park, it’s time to head below ground on a boat journey through the former tin mine in Speedwell Cavern (15 minutes’ walk). See deposits of rare Blue John stone running through the caves at Treak Cliff Cavern (15 minutes), or take a guided tour of the vast subterranean complex rich in the same stone at the Blue John Cavern (10 minutes’ drive). Get a feel for local history with explorations of 12th-century Peveril Castle (five minutes’ drive to the car park), and marvel at the priceless antiques in sumptuous Chatsworth House (half an hour). If the kids have been stoic during these cultural excursions, take them to meet the alpacas, llamas and meerkats at Mayfield Alpacas Animal Park (25 minutes).
