General
- Quiet, adults-only site amid stunning scenery in the Yorkshire Dales
- A five-minute walk to Kettlewell on the Dales Way for hiking
- Great Whernside fell and Kilnsey Crag within 15 minutes’ drive
As a smaller, adults-only site in the Yorkshire Dales National Park that welcomes couples and solo travellers but not groups, Wharfe Camp encourages a peaceful, quiet atmosphere where you'll be surrounded by the sounds of the countryside.
This park’s also in a serene setting: as well as only accepting a small number of people, it has views of the green north Yorkshire countryside and is a five-minute walk from Kettlewell with its three pubs, bistro, garage, launderette and well-stocked village shop. The rural settlement (known for its annual Scarecrow Festival) is on the Dales Way, so there are lots of scenic walks in the local area.
The River Wharfe is also metres from the site for kayakers and Kilnsey Crag is less than 10 minutes’ drive away for the climbers. Cavers are also sorted as the subterranean systems in Wharfedale are about the same distance from the park.
If you’re sticking to strolls, the circular route around the glacial lake at Malham Tarn starts from 45 minutes away or you can wander up to the waterfalls at Gordale Scar to gaze up at the overhanging limestone cliffs, stopping by Malham Cove to take snaps of the odd rock formations (35 minutes from the park) along the way.
On site, the back of the family barn has been extended to include new toilets, a hot shower in a wetroom and washing-up facilities. Recycling’s also encouraged. Please note this is place that's all about the peace and quiet, so no radios or other musical kit will be allowed, and guests are asked to close car door and boots gently. Group bookings aren't permitted either (this includes groups making individual bookings and meeting up on site).

We are really sorry you experienced flies in the facility area. We do realise there are flies are around, especially with the farm animals next door, but due to Covid19 we are following guidance and keeping the facilities door and window open to allow airflow throughout and to not create an enclosed space. |

Local attractions
Climber or caver? Kilnsey Crag is less than 10 minutes’ drive from the site if you’re here to scale some walls, and the underground systems in Wharfedale are about the same distance away for subterranean capers…
If you’re sticking to strolls, the circular route around the glacial lake at Malham Tarn starts about 45 minutes’ drive away, and a wander up to the waterfalls at Gordale Scar to gaze up at overhanging limestone cliffs, stopping by Malham Cove to take snaps of the odd rock formations, is possible about 35 minutes from the park. For more forays into the countryside, Great Whernside and its fell walks take 10 minutes to reach.
Along with the hills, the market towns are also worth visiting in North Yorkshire, like pretty Grassington (15 minutes' drive) and Skipton, for its castle (25 minutes). Another ancient building to swing by is the 12th-century Augustinian monastery Bolton Priory 40 minutes’ drive away.

Glad you found the Pod to your liking and us friendly and helpful.
We are sorry about the traffic, but bank holiday weekends in the dales do encourage a lot of visitors to the area.
You mustn't have realised the Pod is not just separated by a hedge.
I should point out for the benefit of anyone reading, and also wanting to visit, that there is not just a hedge behind the Pod, but also a 2m high stone wall separating the Pod/Campsite from the road.
