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 lovely Yorkshire Dales National Park that welcomes couples and solo travellers but not groups, Wharfe Camp encourages a peaceful, quiet atmosphere where you can hear the sounds of the countryside rather than your next-door neighbours…
This park’s setting is serene thanks to its views of the north Yorkshire countryside – Great Whernside fell towers to the east and Knipe Scar is visible on the other side – yet is just a five-minute walk from Kettlewell for meals in one of the three pubs and bistro or errand running at the garage, launderette and well-stocked village shop. The rural settlement known for its annual Scarecrow Festival is on the 80-mile Dales Way, so lots of scenic walks are in the local area.
For those brave enough to go wild swimming or kayaking, the River Wharfe is metres away on foot from Wharfe Camp. But if you’re wanting an activity that’s more about parking yourself in one place? Ample green space is all around at the park for sunbathing and Kilnsey Trout Farm is less than 10 minutes’ drive away to sit quietly during an afternoon of angling. If you do get the urge to get up from your spot, pony rides and walks on nature trails passing by red squirrels and butterflies are also available here.
The back of the family barn on site has been extended to include new toilets, a hot shower in a wetroom and washing-up facilities. Recycling’s also encouraged at this park.
Open from 31/03/2019 to 22/12/2019

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 from 45 minutes’ drive 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 15 minutes to reach.
Market towns as well as mountains are also worth visiting in north Yorkshire, like pretty Grassington 20 minutes’ drive and Skipton for its castle (within half an hour). Another ancient building to swing by is the 12th-century Augustinian monastery of Bolton Priory 40 minutes’ drive away.

Glad you enjoyed staying at the campsite and we hope you return again.
This season we have decided to change the pitches offered and we will be offering a bigger pitch next season and even less campers making it more exclusive.
The national parks recommended 10 pitches on this size site and we do already offer bigger pitches than other campsites in the area. I'm sorry you believed it bigger in the photographs.
Regards
Wharfe Camp.
