  • Peaceful and family-run site next to the Forest of Bowland
  • In a walkers' paradise near the Yorkshire Three Peaks
  • A variety of pre-ordered homemade pizzas on Saturday evenings
These routes are made for walking… Orcaber Caravan and Camping Site is in the Three Peaks area of the Yorkshire Dales National Park for hikes up Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent, and right next to the wanders and strides of the Forest of Bowland, a National Landscape. Many more walks and footpaths start directly from the site; get a map from the site information office to show you on your way. Based at the village of Austwick and a 10-minute drive from the market town of Settle, the site is a peaceful and family-run site set among outstanding scenery, with horses and sheep grazing in the neighbouring fields. Dogs are welcome (on leads on site at all times, please), and a big field with a stream is allocated as a dog walk area on site. Pitches at Orcaber Caravan and Camping Site are large, flat and well-drained. Facilities include separate ladies' and gents' showers with plenty of hot water; toilets; a freezer for ice packs, and an info room with details of local attractions, events and those many local walks. A variety of homemade pizzas are available on Saturday evenings from 5pm to 8.30pm from April to early September; these can be pre-ordered from seven days before.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked First time here and we will definitely return. We got there late on the evening and the tent field is just a free for all so I worried we wouldn’t get anywhere or be cramped up. However we got a nice spot. The camp site was lovely with amazing views. The showers and facilities were spotless. Shop was well stocked and decently priced. Good coffee machine on site (as we didn’t have our own facilities this time).

Disliked The only downside for us (and this is not a fault with the site) was that we got there late and by that time they had stopped taking orders for the pizzas for the next day (Saturday night). You can order these in advance so this would be my advice to others. Plan ahead if you’re there over a weekend.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Good ground, not too stony.
Facilities very good.
Excellent showers.
Hours of shop open.
Well equipped store.

Fire-pit delivery.

Disliked Constantly playing pop music in men’s toilets 24hrs.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked The site was clean and tidy. The pitches were a good size. Loved the picnic benches on each pitch. The showers are great 50p for 10 minutes which is plenty long enough. They were also clean and tidy. Music playing in the toilet block is a nicely thought extra. The shop was well stocked with essentials and treats. Loved the free dog wash and that they sold dog shampoo in the shop. The dog walk area was great ( our dog loved it) We have stayed in the area before but this site is lovely we would definitely stay again and would recommend.

Disliked They cook on site pizzas on Saturday night and bacon sandwich’s on a Sunday which is great. Unfortunately if like us your stay is in between this there is no cooked food on site. Might be nice if they offered pizzas on a Wednesday especially in the summer holls .

Local attractions

The Three Peaks of Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent in close range are a topping location for walkers – if you're here to hike, see if you can complete the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge to tackle the 24 miles around all three in one day. Orcaber Caravan Camping Site is also near the famed Ingleton Waterfalls Trail for woodland-based walks among spectacular northern scenery, and within easy driving distance of the waterfalls, stalactites and tours of the spectacular White Scar Caves, the longest show cave in the UK. Also recommended by the Orcaber team are the Settle to Carlisle railway line, through 73 miles of spectacular countryside through the Yorkshire Dales and the North Pennines, and passing splendid Ribblehead viaduct. The limestone formation of Malham Cove, a famed Yorkshire Dales beauty spot, is also a popular local spot. Yet more walks, hikes and heaps more spectacular scenery are at the Lake District National Park, about an hour's drive away.
