  • Well-maintained and quiet West Yorkshire family site in Ripponden
  • A 20-minute drive to Halifax, and 25 minutes to Hebden Bridge
  • Pubs, takeaways, supermarket and farm shop within five minutes’ walk
Chasing a bit of West Yorkshire peace and quiet, but still wanting lots to do? Riverside Glamping and Caravan Park is a clever spot to consider, as it’s in a peaceful hillside spot on the edge of Ripponden, yet still near sports fields, walking routes and cycling trails – and Leeds and Manchester are both under an hour’s drive away if you’re craving some big-city action (or looking for a quick escape from such). Tucked among the woodland and meadows, well-maintained modern facilities at the site include a communal shower block, washing-up facilities and waste disposal. You can also deal with any dirty clothes at the launderette (five minutes’ walk). Chores sorted, there's all sorts of stuff to do right next door. Play tennis and bowls, and give kids the chance to kick a ball around Mill Fold Park and Playground or watch them practise their moves at the skatepark. Ripponden (five minutes’ walk) is the springboard to walking and mountain-biking routes, and there’s coarse and fly fishing on the River Ryburn for anglers. The village is also well endowed with local supermarkets, a farm shop and a choice of Indian takeaways, pizzerias and homely pubs. Dogs are very welcome at Riverside, by the way, but please clean up after them. This is a quiet site, so you'll also be asked to keep noise levels to a minimum after 10pm.

What customers say

This is a small, peaceful, and well-maintained campsite with a fantastic riverside location, just a short walk from Ripponden's shops and pubs. Visitors praised the immaculate and modern toilet and shower facilities, as well as the spacious, level pitches. Owners are frequently mentioned as friendly and helpful. Pods offer a comfortable and warm experience. While generally highly rated, some guests noted occasional queues for the limited bathroom facilities during peak times and a lack of clear signage making the site tricky to find.

Darren K.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked A lovely hidden gem! It might feel like you’ve taken a wrong turn through the car park and along the river, but once there it’s a fantastic spot. We stayed on Pitch 3. Plenty of seasonal pitches, all very friendly. The facilities were spotless, with two mixed-gender toilets, each with an electric shower. Ripponden village is just a 5-minute stroll away and has everything you need, great pubs, coffee shops, and takeaways. We had an excellent Sunday lunch at The Old Bridge Inn, enjoyed craft beers at Indii Brew Co, and a few ales at The Last Post. Perfect base for walks and exploring Hebden Bridge and Sowerby Bridge.

Disliked Nothing really... Access can be a bit unusual the first time you arrive, but it’s straightforward once you know.

Local attractions

Walkers, get ready to go. Grab your hiking boots and stride out across the Beacon Hill Romulus to see the peaks of former volcanoes, stroll across the dam at Ryburn Reservoir (both five minutes’ drive) or hike up to the landmark Stoodley Pike (35 minutes) to admire Calderdale views from the monument. For a taster of Yorkshire’s industrial past, walks at National Trust-owned Hardcastle Crags (half an hour) take in former cotton mills and workers’ cottages. Keen to be out exploring on two wheels? Cyclists are just as well catered for, so try the looped trails on rugged moorland or head up to Hebden Bridge (25 minutes) and follow the towpath along Rochdale Canal for gentle family bike rides. Keep the kids entertained with immersive experiments and themed activities Eureka! The National Children’s Museum in Halifax (20 minutes), or spend some time browsing unusual boutiques at the monumental 18th-century Piece Hall – it’s also a lively centre for concerts and seasonal events so check to see what’s on before you go.
