  • 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 and water hookups, plus access to a shared toilet block, Elsan point and recycling facilities. Dogs are welcome on site, and have been give 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 two excellent farm shops within a 10-minute drive.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked The facilities were clean, we absolutely loved the dog field (so did the dogs and our daughter). Everything was well maintained and had extras with leaflets, dvds, books that you could borrow if you wanted. The site was quiet 🤫 and absolutely gorgeous 😍. Added extra there is also a dog grooming shed if your dog gets a little muddy you can give them a little wash and blow dry yourself no extra cost. This place has it all for a very decent cost.

Disliked There is nothing to write here!

Liked What a beautiful sites I was a bit worried when there was reviews about the toilets , saying they wasn't enough and the showers were far away. They wernt , take your towel and your stuff a little stroll and wait no harm.. patience is key.. 2 little toilets in sheds but immaculate, dog shower , dishes cabin , enclosed dog field for the pooches to run , and choose your own space amazing. Electric water supply wi fi and ariel , and the owners have done an amazing welcome pack with everything you could think of to do . What's not to likee this place is a gem .. we went to janets foss where the water falls were and done a little hike beautiful scenery .
Loved seeing the little rabbits running about in the morning and bearing the sheep . We had a lovely time will be back again.

Disliked Nothing . Thank you for a lovely stay , your place is beautiful

Liked Ash Keys is a well managed site with clean facilities. All the pitches are spacious and have water and EHU. The toilets and washing up facilities in sheds worked really well and were a novel idea.

We enjoyed two quiet, relaxing nights at Ash Keys and it was well located for Malham Cove, Pendle Hill and Skipton. Thank you

Liked Stayed here 3 years ago.
Everything is the same.
Peaceful. Large fully serviced pitches.
A great base for exploring the Yorkshire Dales from.
The information hut has printed out walking routes but you can walk from the site down the quiet scenic lane.
You wouldn't know you were on a working farm as its so clean and quiet.

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).
