  • Peaceful and family-run site next to the Forest of Bowland
  • In a walkers' paradise near the Yorkshire Three Peaks
  • A variety of pre-ordered homemade pizzas on Saturday evenings
These routes are made for walking… Orcaber Caravan and Camping Site is in the Three Peaks area of the Yorkshire Dales National Park for hikes up Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent, and right next to the wanders and strides of the Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Many more walks and footpaths start directly from the site; get a map from the site information office to show you on your way. Based at the village of Austwick and five miles from the market town of Settle on the edge of the national park, Orcaber is a peaceful and family-run site, set among outstanding scenery with horses and sheep grazing in the neighbouring fields. Dogs are welcome (on leads on site at all times please) and a big field with stream is allocated as a dog walk area on site. Pitches at Orcaber are large, flat and well drained. Facilities include separate ladies' and gents' showers with plenty of hot water; toilets; a freezer with coolbox ice packs, and an info room with details of local attractions, events – and those many local walks. A variety of pre-ordered homemade pizzas are available on Saturday evenings.

Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked Toilet and shower facilities were fantastic, very clean and a good number of each, meaning no long queues. Loved the firepits and how friendly the staff are! The grass was gorgeous, very green and fresh despite current drought conditions.

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked Where to start? Loved being able to choose where to pitch and very flat areas.
The cleanliness of the site in general and as for the facilities- best camping shower I’ve ever had.
Loved the music playing in the restroom.
The dog exercise area was large and very well kept . They’d even put a rabbit in it one day to ensure the dog had stimulation ( I do know the rabbit wasn’t really provided )
Pizzas on a Saturday is such a great idea and the meat feast was truly delicious and well loaded
The shop was very reasonably priced and covered essentials
I would say well deserving of my 20 stars.

Gary W.

Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site

Liked The site was very easy to get to from the A65. Very well kept site and facilities. Showers 50p but you got 10mins with plenty water pressure and controllable heat. The lady on reception was very friendly and offered us a choice of pitch as the pitch we had booked was shaded. The pitch was a great size with a picnic table which was very handy. Great wifi on site.
Fair sized enclosed field in which our dog could be let off the lead. Home made pizza available on Saturday night. Wish we had been there for that...All in all a great site in a great location for touring West Yorkshire which we would gladly come back to

Disliked Nothing about the site that I didn't like other than we weren't staying longer

Local attractions

The Three Peaks of Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent in close range are a topping location for walkers – if you're here to hike, see if you can complete the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge to tackle the 24 miles around all three in one day. Orcaber Caravan Camping Site is also near the famed Ingleton Waterfalls Trail for woodland-based walks among spectacular northern scenery, and within easy driving distance of the waterfalls, stalactites and tours of the spectacular White Scar Caves, the longest show cave in the UK. Also recommended by the Orcaber team are the Settle to Carlisle railway line, through 73 miles of spectacular countryside through the Yorkshire Dales and the North Pennines, and passing splendid Ribblehead viaduct. The limestone formation of Malham Cove, a famed Yorkshire Dales beauty spot, is also a popular local spot. Yet more walks, hikes and heaps more spectacular scenery are at the Lake District National Park, about an hour's drive away.
