  • 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, quiet, and well-maintained campsite praised for its excellent location, just a short walk from Ripponden's pubs, shops, and amenities. Visitors highlight the immaculately clean and modern toilet and shower facilities, often with good water pressure. Pitches are generally level and spacious, with many offering electric hook-up and water. The friendly and helpful owners are frequently mentioned, adding to the positive experience. The riverside setting provides pleasant walks and a peaceful atmosphere. Some minor points for improvement include clearer signage and potentially more toilet facilities during peak times.

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Great location: easy walk into Ripponden and also nice walk by the river.
Good, warm shower and washrooms very clean
Spacious flat pitch with water and electric hook up and a picnic table.

Disliked Only two bathrooms (shower, basin and toilet) and one washing up sink for the whole site. Generally we had to queue to use them / face a queue when coming out of the shower.
No wifi, except on phone signal.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked The site had a gorgeous elevated position. It had separated micro sites on different levels which made it feel you had more space and privacy. The services were excellent. The secluded shower/loo/washup areas were spotlessly clean. The owners of this site, clearly have a vision for attention to detail to enjoy the surroundings and the layout of the facilities.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Terrific location, quiet, next to river, right in the heart of Ripponden. Variety of character pubs nearby, Co-op up the hill, great coffee in local cafe. Pitches are nice and close to electric hookups and water. Campground has two unisex combined shower/toilet rooms which are clean. modern and spacious and one wash-up sink & bench outside (need to queue for both at times).

Would love to stay again if we are camping in the area.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (backpacker, woodland)

Liked Booked backpacker woodland pitch by mistake. Wasn’t sure my Campstar 600 XL Air was going to fit but it did. Slight hill carrying all the gear up and down but worth every aching muscle and bone. 10/10 best spot on the campsite. Totally private. Campsite is nice and quiet, extremely tidy. Beautiful spot. I’m sure we either saw two deer or extremely large foxes.

Camping pod (adults only)

Liked What a lovely clean and quiet site, shower/toilets very clean and roomy and showers had great pressure and you can adjust the temperature to suit you. We were in a pod for the first time so we weren't expecting a lot but the pod was great and the beds were extremely comfy. Fire pit and table and bench were put to good use. This site is definitely on our list to visit again as we just didn't have enough time to do everything we wanted.

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.
