What customers say
This is a well-maintained and exceptionally clean campsite with spacious, level pitches. Guests consistently praise the modern and immaculate toilet and shower facilities, many highlighting the hot water and good water pressure. Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful. The site is ideally located for walks and exploring the surrounding countryside, with a dedicated dog exercise area. On-site food options, particularly pizza and bacon sandwiches, are popular. While most guests have no dislikes, some mention occasional noise from other campers and a desire for more on-site activities for children.

Super well organised site with a relaxing vibe
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked This has to be one of the most well run campsites I’ve ever stayed at. It was so busy but still enough space on the completely level field to find a pitch. And although it was heaving with campers the vibe was good and relaxed with everyone adhering to no noise late in the evening. The reception and shop are well stocked and welcoming. The owners are constantly making deliveries of logs to campers and checking all is ok. The facilities are spotless despite so many users with lovely touches like hand soap and moisturiser. The showers cost 50p for 10 mins but they are really really good showers!! Everything has been thought out and organised for campers to have a wonderful stay. I prefer a less busy site but still had a perfect stay.
The Ingleborough trail and cave is just down the road and well worth a visit. £3 for the trail which is a lovely walk through conservation woods with a stream children can dabble in. You can also hike further all the way to the top of Ingleborough mountain which has stunning views the entire way.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked We had a wonderful stay at Orcaber Caravan and Camping Site. We were lucky to have amazing weather during our visit. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We stayed for only two nights, but this campsite will leave us with very warm memories. Everything was clean and well maintained, and the area was large and beautiful. We really enjoyed our time here and would love to come back again.
Disliked The only thing we would recommend is adding a children’s playground.

Best camping site. Definitely worth of money.
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked The place itself-stunning.
The facilities very clean, nice touch with the music 🥰. Personally hate listening everyone’s conversations while using shower or toilets, so music kinda covers it up🎵.
Disliked No dislikes. Maybe would be actually nice to have at least like a little mark where the non electric tents should go, as it gets a-bit messy with the tents being everywhere and being able to pitch anywhere you want.
Just a note - a lot of traffic around the area on half term/ bank holidays.
