  • Relaxed family-run site on a farm in the Yorkshire Dales
  • A 15-minute drive from Malham Cove, Gordale Scar and Janet's Foss
  • Well-spaced hardstanding pitches with a large dog exercise area
Ash Keys Caravan Park is a family-friendly site in a quiet corner of a family-run 165-acre farm. This peaceful spot is at the southern end of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, half a mile from the teeny hamlet of Eshton and five minutes’ drive from more extensive amenities (pubs, takeaways and small supermarkets) in Gargrave. This is a most handy spot to settle in for outdoor activities: you can take walks or bike rides directly from the park, join nearby major trails like the Pennine Way (three quarters of a mile from the park), Way of the Roses and National Cycle Network Route 68. The fab attractions around Malham (Malham Cove, Janet’s Foss and Gordale Scar) are about a 15-minute drive away. The well-kept pitches here all have electricity, water hookups and grey waste drains. The facilities block houses toilets and showers, a washing-up area and an information hub, and there are also recycling facilities and an Elsan point close by. Dogs are welcome on site and have their own dedicated exercise area where they can have a good run about. Barbecues are also permitted, and perhaps at their finest when graced with good food from one of the three excellent farm shops within a 10-minute drive.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Everything, as always. The new shower and toilet block is lovely. We took our shoes off when entering as it was a super muddy and wet weekend and that is just polite I think. Lots of people didnt, but I did clean up after them so poor Indi didn't have a mental breakdown! Used the dog run, which was lovely and not actually as muddy as I was expecting considering the rain. Didn't have to wait for the shower at all, I think all but 1 or 2 pitches were taken out of the 19 so I was expecting to have to wait for the shower (there are 2) but it was free whenever we went in. Used the dog wash for the first time, which was a life saver! Definitely be back! The WiFi also worked great as we didnt have a scrap of signal but once connected to the WiFi the kids could watch a film on the iPad.

Disliked Just the mud, but unfortunately nothing anyone can do about that, it has been a particularly wet start to the year!

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Absolutely love the new toilet and pot wash block. Last time we stayed we saw the ongoing work and hoped they would build one. Was kept so clean inside and out. A lovely quiet site fully serviced. Love the self check in just nice to choose were you go. Will definitely be back

Disliked Only thing I would say is the shale pitch and drives get absolutely everywhere. No matter the weather summer or winter. Only thing in winter is you also get the sludgy mess all over shoes and in caravan. But nothing a welcome mat doesn't solve.

I understand the shale is doing the job just a larger gravel would be cleaner.

Local attractions

If you’re not planning lengthy rambles on the long-distance paths, set forth for some of the local highlights instead. Get going in Gargrave (five minutes’ drive) with a waterside walk by the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, then see cascades in action at Linton Falls (20 minutes). Make time for Malham too: a 15-minute drive gets you over to this fab village and its trio of top sights (Malham Cove, Janet’s Foss and Gordale Scar). After that, take an uphill challenge on the mountain paths of Pen-y-Ghent (35 minutes) or head underground to see what’s in store at Ingleborough Cave (40 minutes). Other ways to get about? Perhaps with a day of horse riding from Kilnsey or a rather more laidback trip on the Settle-Carlisle Railway – both are about 20 minutes’ drive away. And if you’ve got tiddlers who’d benefit from staying in one place for a while, there’s plenty to keep them amused among the animals, tractor tours and play areas of Hesketh Farm Park (20 minutes).
