  • 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 peaceful, well-maintained campsite with a great riverside location, a short walk from Ripponden's amenities, pubs, and shops. Visitors praise the friendly owners, excellent and clean shower/toilet facilities, and level, serviced pitches. Some noted the site can be difficult to find and that pitches, especially hardstanding, could be wider. Issues with EHU sharing and occasionally busy facilities have been mentioned.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Close to some great pubs, flat pitches, great walks right from the site.

Disliked The EHU was not adequate, it used a splitter to share between 3 pitches. This meant that it kept tripping and needed resetting at box. We were only running our heater, same as pitch next to us. We had to switch to gas, which defeats the purpose of paying for EHU. The pitches are pretty narrow.

The shower kept going cold, and there are only two for the whole site.

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Like others have said, we did wonder where we were going when we turned off the main road. This is a nice peaceful quiet site by the river. It’s a very short walk to some lovely pubs serving food and there is also a co-op. I didn’t use the facilities but my husband said the toilets are basic but clean and was very impressed by the quality of the toilet paper 😂😂It’s not far from home us so will definitely be returning when we want a quick weekend away

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Nice quiet site. Lots of places to go eat and drink nearby.

Disliked Reception point needs to be made more clear, as nothing tells you where this is. Facilities were not clean, I never saw them get cleaned for the entire stay. Gritting needs to be looked at if it snows or gets icy, as it only slightly snowed when we were there and it was like an ice rink. Towing on our way out was not a nice experience, we thought we was going to hit a car/house as was so icy. We didn’t have control of anything as it just slid (but we do drive an automatic).

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.
