  • 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 stunning views, perfect for outdoor lovers and hikers. Staff are friendly and helpful, facilities are clean, and it's a short walk to Castleton. While the ground is sloped, it's usually fine. Fire pit rentals are a plus. It can get busy, and there are few showers, but that's typical for a well-located, basic site.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite (sloping)

Liked A nice campsite with stunning views and very friendly staff. The option to rent a fire pit was a great addition too. The quiet time after 10pm was well enforced and observed by all. Although the site has a slope it is stated on the booking page, so not a surprise on arrival, and also completely manageable. Just a short walk into the village of Castleton, which has plenty of pubs, and a few shops and cafes. If you like walking, this is a great location.

Disliked The site was pretty busy, and there was a constant queue for the toilet and washing facilities, which are limited, but spotlessly clean. An issue did arise with flushing, but was quickly rectified once the staff were informed.

Adele W.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite (sloping)

Liked Loved this place, we had an amazing time. The Site owners were on site until late and so friendly and helpful. Snacks and cold drinks were available to buy from their cabin at the entrance. Fire pit rental was reasonable with logs and kindling included, lasted us all night. Toilets were clean and always stocked with toilet roll. Not too busy, and really quiet at night. Easy access to the village which is only a 10-15 minute walk away, main road is well lit. Lovely to see all the paragliders coming over the hill & landing in the field next door too. Will definitely return in the near future.

Disliked Was on a slight slope, but not much of an issue.

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).
