Has anyone been wild camping in the Peak district

91502 · Jan 25, 2010

I don't know why but now I am on the mend from my back op I have an urge to go wild camping in the Peak district.
I don't know why, we always use aires and france passion when in Europe but in the UK tend to stick to CC sites.
I just feel like time away with no planning, Derbyshire is only an hour or 2 away but I just fancy some away days with the freedom of maybe staying over.
Do they enforce the no camping in car parks?
Anyone have any places they reccomend?

Exis

In your Exis, you should be able to find many places.

I do so a lot of folk wildcamping in the Peaks. Do you use pubs? a lot of pubs seem to allow overnighting on the carparks!

Its only 45 mins for us to the peak district but we tend to use campsites.

If I think of any spots, will let you know.

There are 4 in the MHF database. I also believe there is a spot near the base of Mam Tor, Castleton.

There are 4 wildcamping spots and 1 pub stopover in the peak district listed in the MHF database.

Look on the campsite map here:

Does pinocchio have a wooden W***Y ?
I never thought of that, a nice days walking with the dogs, followed by a pint by a roaring fire.
Thanks

I've always found if you ask in a pub nicely and say you'll have a few drinks and a meal they let you stay in the car park.

The Royal Oak at Wetton also has camping (basically a field!) behind it which you can stay over for a fiver a night.
