  • Small quiet family-run site on a hill farm in the Yorkshire Dales
  • Top spot for the Yorkshire Three Peaks with direct access to trails
  • Cooked breakfasts, packed lunches and homemade cake sold on site
Three peaks before breakfast? That might not be possible (let alone pleasant) but the paths to two of the famed Yorkshire Three Peaks start less than five minutes' drive away from this quiet site on a family-run hill farm in the Yorkshire Dales. Philpin Farm is a 10-minute drive from Ingleton and the Ribblehead Viaduct, on the route of the Settle-Carlisle Railway. The site is small and two-tiered, with accommodation areas at the bottom and top of a small hill (the car park is near the top area as no cars are allowed on the field). The farm's barn is available for eating and mingling in, and it's home to a snack bar on weekends; you can also order cooked breakfasts and packed lunches, buy homemade cakes, even socks, gloves, hats and rain ponchos if you've come under-prepared. Barbecues are allowed on site if raised off the ground (strictly no fires). The only other strict rule is the farm's no-noise policy at night: please let everyone savour the peace of this very special place. There's a welcoming local pub two miles down the road, plus shops and a chip shop in Ingleton.

Liked: A new favourite for me, there is so much more than the three peaks here. A lifetime of adventures can be found here and Philpin Farm is the perfect base.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Super location for our 3 Peaks run. Nice views! Field is on a hill but with flat areas. Nicely kept. Good warm showers. There is a barn to sit in with table and chairs etc if wet, a snack bar open through the day and vending machines for hot drinks. A nice quiet evening spent there. Through the day track busy with 3 peak walkers as it’s enroute at base of Whernside/ingleborough. Would stay again. Thank you

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: I loved the location of the farm. It was easily accessible by road and very close to the trails leading to Ingleborough. The owners Dave and his wife were very hospitable. They had clean toilets and shower rooms and their snack bar was well stocked with essentials such as tea coffee cold drinks, an English breakfast, sausage and bacon buns etc ( till 4pm) as well as a vending machine. They even sold blankets, air beds , firewood etc at reasonable prices for people who had forgotten their last minute packing! The views from the farm were great and all in all it was a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend it.

Liked: Lovely site with perfect amenities. Love the barn and cafe with the use of WiFi too. Close to the walks I wanted to do and even though it rained I still had a lovely time. I felt safe travelling and camping alone and will be staying here again as it’s great value for money

There isn’t a playground for young children, so they might get bored.

Local attractions

For committed peak baggers, trails up to Ingleborough and Whernside run just by the farm, and the starting point for third peak, Pen-y-ghent, is 15 minutes' drive away. While some mark off their scorecards and leave, others stay and explore this area stuffed with wonders both natural and man-made. The Settle-Carlisle Railway, and its transit over the mighty Ribblehead Viaduct, marks a meeting of human endeavour and landscape: don't miss a chance to take one of the world's great rides: 73 miles through remote and sometimes jaw-dropping scenery from Ribblehead, five minutes' drive away, or Settle (half an hour). If you're up for something more active, it's 10 minutes into Ingleton for tours of the White Scar Caves and the trail to the waterfalls. Heading further westwards towards the Forest of Bowland, it's a 45-minute drive to paths up Bowland's highest point, White Hill for views of Dales, Lakes and even sometimes, the sea. The area is popular with cyclists, too, with numerous bike routes through Gisburn Forest starting from the Forest Hub café, also 45 minutes away. If water's more your element, it's half an hour to Semer Water for coarse and brown trout fishing, canoeing and windsurfing and if you're a tad peckish after all that outdoor stuff you could head up to Hawes (20 minutes) and sample the cheesy delights of the Wensleydale Creamery.
