  • Pop-up wild camping in Derbyshire’s lovely Peak District National Park
  • A 10-minute walk to 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 village's main road 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.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site (sloping)

Liked: Site and Facilities clean, great views also and close to castleton if you want to walk in.

Disliked: Ground was too sloped which isn’t very good if you’re staying in a tent as it meant an awful nights sleep- a motorhome would probably be fine.

We’ll use this campsite again in the future.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site (sloping)

Liked: Nice location, Jess was on hand to assist if needed, but then i was left alone to enjoy my stay. The site slopes, but in fairness that is mentioned in the details on pitch-up. I did find a level pitch just to the right of the entrance. Facilities are basic but clean. I do some wild camping so this wasn't an issue for me. I would visit Aga n if in the area.

Disliked: Not the site's fault but the approach road was crammed with campers and motorhomes, a little off putting as it spoils the feel of site's actual remoteness.

Liked: Lovely campsite with lots of space to choose from. The toilets/facilities were clean and close by. 10 minute walk to and range of pubs and shops in the nearby village of Castleton. A perfect place to go see Mam Tor at sunrise.

Unpowered grass campervan site (sloping)

Liked: Location is perfect

Disliked: Quite a bit of of noise from cars coming and going at all hours. Not campsites fault and you can get that anywhere. No hot water for handwashing or washing up.

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).
