Draughton Heights Campsite

Positiv What a wonderful site this is. The owners are putting such care and thought into creating a wonderful site. We were two friends in camper vans and parked up next to each other by one of the three man made lakes. Despite the rain and gales (storm Amy), we had a wonderful visit. The facilities are top notch with hot showers, a washing up station and plenty of bins for recycling. With no electric hook ups this is designed for off grid camping. The road onto the site is a steep hill so not suitable for caravans or large motor homes. We were shown around one of the three beautiful en-suite pods complete with king sized bed, living area and kitchen and power showers. If we hadn't been in the vans this would have been a great option. Outside there are table and chairs and fire pits. We've eyed them up for a future visit.
For wild swimmers out there, the lakes are accessible at your own risk. My mate went in and said it was very brisk!! There's a separately run sauna that can be booked ahead of your visit.
Once the clouds cleared, the views were spectacular. The site is just off the Dales Way and you can walk into Skipton in around an hour, where there are plenty of lovely independent shops and of course a good supply of pubs. Alternatively Skipton is just a 10 min drive away. There's also a steam railway close by, and Bolton Abbey. Walking routes a plenty.
The site is only in it's second year and is already a wonderful place to visit. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommended.
Thank you Lesley and Richard for your warm welcome and looking out for us in the storm x

Positiv I absolutely loved my stay in this campsite. The place is amazing and so well maintained. Beautiful and quiet place to saty.The amenities are very clean. The toilets and showers are the best I have seen in a campsite, and believe me, I have been in many many campsites in the country and abroad over the years! The owner was very kind and helpful. Beautiful views and beautiful walks around. 10/10 Well recommended!

Positiv Lovely site. Lots of space. Very unique. Owners are very considerate, laid back and friendly. The facilities are great. The onsite horsebox sauna a fab little addition.

Negativ The weather. Haha. But the owners checked on everyone and made sure we weathered the storm.

Positiv We loved everything about our stay here (except the torrential rain!). The pods are much roomier than they look on the photos, even with all 4 of us inside we had space to do our own activities. The kitchen has everything you need, and the ensuite was clean with plenty of towels and toiletries. The site itself is clean and well maintained, the views are absolutely stunning and the lakes were perfect for paddleboarding. The staff were on hand and checked in when we arrived to make sure everything was ok. We will definitely be back, hopefully for a drier visit so we can make the most of the outside space!
