We’re an open-to-all campsite tucked away in Appletreewick, a serene village on the banks of the River Wharfe. Our flat pitches are suitable for caravans, tents, campervans and motorhomes. The main field has electric hook-up available on every pitch. The adjacent river field is perfect for family groups with relaxed pitching and open spaces. A historic pub is just a few minutes' stroll away. Masons’ canvas glamping options blend comfort with the outdoors. With charming fairy lights, warm blankets, separate cooking areas and toasty log burners, our yurts and safari tents allow you to relax and enjoy the dales. Masons Kitchen is open daily and we pride ourselves on serving some of the best barista coffee in the Yorkshire Dales courtesy of our friends at Dark Woods. We also bake fresh pizzas, all butter croissants and baguettes daily and offer a selection of home-made cakes for you to enjoy! You’ll also find a handy camping shop stocked with essentials and plenty of treats for younger campers.
