  • Peaceful adults-only site one mile from the market town of Otley
  • Country pub five minutes’ walk; River Wharfe and shops 25 minutes
  • Free-range eggs to buy on site; well-behaved dogs welcome
Go here if you fancy staying within the green slopes of the West Yorkshire countryside, and without any free-range children running around. Woodside Campsite is a site for adults only – in particular, those of you who are scanning for somewhere to stay with spacious pitches, fresh country air and views over open fields. As you might expect from the location, this is a quiet, peaceful site. There are some mod cons on site, including a clean amenities block with hot showers, toilets and a changing room, plus an outdoor washing-up area. Your breakfast here could feature fresh free-range eggs from the hens that live on site; they’re not the only animals to dwell here, as there are also rescue donkeys and goats in the adjacent field. Kids may be banned, but your well-behaved dogs are more than welcome on site. When the hour of the day calls for a pint or you’re not quite in the mood to cook from scratch, simply stroll to the country pub five minutes’ walk away from Woodside Campsite. There are more options for eating out in the market town of Otley; in the town centre, about half an hour’s walk away, there's a butcher's, a bakery and chip shops. The town also has a market every Friday and Saturday, a farmer’s market the final Sunday of each month and independent boutiques. Routes for walkers and cyclists begin from the site’s gates, if you’d prefer to spend most of the day on a trail.

What customers say

This adults-only campsite receives consistent praise for its beautiful views, spacious and well-spaced pitches, and exceptional cleanliness of facilities, including toilets and showers. Guests frequently highlight the friendly and welcoming owners, Michelle and Karl, and the enjoyable presence of rescue animals. Its peaceful atmosphere, close proximity to a local pub, and convenient walking distance to Otley are also popular features. A minor point raised by a few guests concerns shower pressure.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Spotless shower and toilet (one of each for men and women). Lovely views and well maintained site with plenty of space between pitches. Michelle was so helpful and really made an effort to welcome campers. The nearby Roebuck pub was also fantastic (5 mins walk from the site). We'd definitely go back.

Tom C. 1 review

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Peaceful, open site, with lovely views. The Roebuck pub a few minutes walk away was great. We loved the goats, donkeys and chickens, and pitched our tent so we had a great view of their comings and goings. Owners were lovely too! We’ll definitely be back as we love Otley as well.

Disliked Shower pressure was a bit hit and miss.
