Try to the Waterloo Inn at Biggin. I have camped there previously while motorcycling. They have a largish field behind, popular with caravaners. For facilities you have to use the pub toilets but for one night I was OK with that. It is, from memory less than a mile from the Tissington Trail.

I hope this helps.

I concur with the Royal Oak at Hurlow. It is two miles past the cycle hire centre at Parsley Hay and right on the trail. Cycle camped there in August for three nights. Great food in the pub. Not cheap but good value. The site is a sloping site and the facilities are adequate ie free hot showers, a couple of sinks in the toilet block. They have a secure building that the owner keeps his mower in that you can store the bikes overnight.
Great cycling from there on either Tissington or High Peak trails as well as lots of quiet minor roads.
If I remember correctly it was about £10 per night for the tent and two cyclists.
