  • Pop-up North Yorkshire campsite five minutes’ walk from Grassington
  • Bolton Abbey 25 minutes’ drive; Stump Cross Caverns 10 minutes
  • Spectacular River Wharfe and Yorkshire Dales National Park views
Wow, it’s a splendid view of the River Wharfe that you get from the pitches at Grassington Campsite. If you’re looking for a back-to-basics Yorkshire camping adventure with the kids during the school summer holidays, this spot surely must be on your list. A pop-up campsite with grass pitches, it’s five minutes’ walk from the centre of Grassington, gateway to expeditions throughout the scenic Yorkshire Dales National Park. There are shops in the village for stocking up on foodie treats, and you can abandon self-catering to head for local cafés and tea rooms, or perhaps check out a traditional Yorkshire pub – there are several inviting options within 10 minutes’ drive. If you get your timing right, you may get to see stars of the small screen filming ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ in Grassington – but what is guaranteed, however, is that you can walk stretches of the Dales Way directly from the campsite (bring any dogs to join in the fun). The amenities back on site include a toilet trailer with ladies and gents toilets and a unisex shower trailer. There is no electricity, so bring torches for finding your way back to your pitch after dark.

What customers say

This is a lovely campsite with stunning views and a perfect location, just a short walk from Grassington village. Pitches are well-spaced and generous. Facilities are basic but generally clean and functional, with hot showers being a highlight for many. Staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a small minority found the site overpriced and the facilities could benefit from an upgrade, particularly in terms of additional showers and hand-drying facilities.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The views are absolutely beautiful. Great sized pitches and they are spaced apart from each other which is ideal! 5 minute walk into Grassington where there's plenty of places to eat and drink. Beautiful walks on the doorstep, perfect location!

Disliked The shower had no hot water one evening but that was the only issue! (In the mornings it was lovely and hot!)

Non-electric grass tent pitch (backpacker, no cars)

Liked The facilities for a pop up camp site were excellent and I really enjoyed the shower facilities, good hot water with enough power to wash away a long days hike.

Disliked The downside for me was the trucks that started early morning (3am) and continued only to be joined by the local farm traffic and morning rush hour. S almost a sleepless night. It would have been better if I could have pitched further from the road.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The views from the pitches are absolutely beautiful. Looking down over the river valley. Also the location being a short walk into lovely Grassington with shops, good pubs and food. Also Jason the host was very helpful and friendly and even moved us to a more suitable pitch with nicer views. Good phone signal.

Disliked Clean facilities with hot water and plenty of loos. Might be a bit basic for some and only two shower rooms, but didn’t bother us in a camper with own shower. Also this is reflected in the cheaper price for a prime location site

Local attractions

There’s more than enough to do around Grassington to keep the whole family happy. Let the kids have a run around among the bewitching follies and water fountains at The Forbidden Corner (45 minutes’ drive), and for an active family day scrambling around on zipwires, make for Raven Tree Top Adventure (20 minutes). At Bolton Abbey (25 minutes), wander among spectacular church ruins, take the stepping stones across the River Wharfe and watch open-air cinema in summer months. Close by is Hesketh Farm Park (25 minutes), where the whole family can pet farm animals and get lost in the straw maze. Hit a rainy day? No problem; take a trip deep underground to see prehistoric fossils and limestone formations at Stump Cross Caverns (10 minutes). To explore the dales on two legs, stroll down to Linton Falls (10 minutes’ walk) from your pitch and follow the Dales Way down to Hebden Suspension Bridge (half an hour). For wild dales views, circumnavigate the lake at Grimwith Reservoir (five minutes’ drive), and for more demanding hikes, follow the way-marked route up to the top of Simon’s Seat (20 minutes) to look out over Barden Fell.
