Yorkshire dales view

  • Peaceful Yorkshire Dales site with views of Pen-y-Ghent
  • A 15-minute drive from Settle; steam train rides pass the site
  • Dog-friendly site within walking distance of three country pubs
Well, isn’t this a really rather fine rural setting – on the banks of the River Ribble and within easy rambling distance of restorative pints at one of Horton-in-Ribblesdale’s three country pubs: how fab... Cragg Hill Farm is in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and the views from this peaceful place won’t let you forget that for even a sec. Gaze in one direction and you'll hopefully see Pen-y-Ghent towering over the site; turn the other way and you might just catch a glimpse of the Settle-Carlisle Railway trains wending their way through the scenic surrounds. Settle is a 15-minute drive to the south; as well as being the launch point for train rides, it’s also a good place to source supermarket supplies (or have a swim or a game of golf if you’re shunning such mundanities as shopping). For other days out, it’s recommended you look not much further than roaming around the Yorkshire Dales – although you could also consider hitting the coast at Morecambe, an hour’s drive away, if you’re yearning for a bit of sea air. Back at the farm, life is pretty laidback, with no noisome ents to interfere with the peace, just toilets, hot showers and a washing-up area to keep you and your kit clean.

What customers say

This is a spacious and peaceful campsite with beautiful views, ideal for walking the Yorkshire Three Peaks. Visitors praise the cleanliness of facilities, friendly owners, and the quiet, relaxed atmosphere. Many highlight the convenient location and the option to choose pitches. While generally basic, the amenities are well-maintained and good value for money. Some minor points include occasional train noise and the need for torches in unlit toilet blocks.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Wonderful, amazing and perfect! Huge fields, clean showers and toilets. Walking up to watch PenYGent in the mist. Beautiful walk to the village.
It's a DofE campground and the teenagers arrived late afternoon, left by 8-9am and were polite, quiet and in a different field. Level pitches, no shade, access might be challenging for a motorhome, but campervans were ok.

Disliked The other campers at the weekend who ignored the "quiet after 9:30pm" sign and drank and partied till the early hours.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Nice quiet, relaxed site with clean facilities and helpful owners
We were there with young kids on a very hot weekend so the river running right by the site was an absolute highlight!

Disliked There are trains running right by the site, who I assume need to pull the horn to safely pass through the tunnel but disturbed the kids a lot after bedtime until around 10ish

Local attractions

This is a mighty fine part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park to be based in, as it’s within easy reach of several fab sights. Malham Cove and Malham Tarn, half an hour away by car, combine to make an excellent day’s walk; the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail (25 minutes’ drive) is another that’s worth walking. If it’s not walking weather, get underground at White Scar Cave (20 minutes) or Ingleborough Cave (35 minutes). Not active enough? Those for whom Pen-y-Ghent is not so much scenery as a challenge can set out from the site for the climb to the 694-metre peak. Follow up by scaling slightly taller Ingleborough (also accessible on foot from the farm) and taller-still Whernside (15 minutes’ drive) to tick Yorkshire’s Three Peaks Challenge off your bucket list. You may like a little sit down after all that (or instead…) and a fine place for that is in a seat on the Settle to Carlisle Railway, which you can board at the nearest station a mile away in Horton-in-Ribblesdale. Even if you’re not up for the ride, you may like to take in the view of the Ribblehead Viaduct (15 minutes), famed for many as the route taken by the Hogwarts Express.
