Spacious site in the Yorkshire Dales, a 10-minute drive from Skipton
Bolton Abbey Steam Railway 10 minutes’ drive; Ilkley 15 minutes
Dogs welcome; habitat lakes for wildlife; nearby walking trails

On the southern fringes of Yorkshire Dales National Park, Draughton Heights Campsite is a peaceful spot a 10-minute drive (or a one-hour stroll along an old Roman road) from the market town of Skipton. It attracts hiking enthusiasts, who have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to choosing walking trails; however, it's also popular with families. Whether you’re here as a rambler or (especially) with kids, you should appreciate the well-maintained amenities block, a solid structure of Yorkshire stone with separate male and female toilets, showers and baby-changing facilities. Just take note that due to the elevated position, the site can be windy. There is a small additional fee for canine guests, and they must be kept on a lead while on site so as not to spook the sheep in the nearby fields; however, you don’t have far to go to find dog-friendly walks around here. Try walking along the River Wharfe to Bolton Abbey, for example, or climb up Beamsley Beacon, from where you can take in expansive views of the surrounding moors. Three habitat lakes on site ensure a pretty constant stream of animal visitors, from deer to owls and other birds. Open lakes are on site if people want to enter at their own risk; life buoys are for emergency use only. You’re welcome to fire up a barbecue; besides Skipton, where a market takes place four times a week (including Saturday), there are shops in Addingham and Silsden (10 minutes’ drive for either).

Brionie H. Sept 2024

Unpowered grass tent or campervan site

Liked: The site is high up on the hillside above Skipton and gives wonderful views across the dales. I received a lovely warm welcome from Lesley and found all the facilities were new and perfectly clean. Pitches are mown and well kept, it does get breezy as you are high up, so bring strong tent pegs, but its worth it for the views. There are two small lakes if you fancy swimming, and the walks around the site are beautiful and scenic. Loved it and will visit again.

Disliked: n/a

From the manager: Thankyou for your comments. Hope to see you again soon.😁

Unpowered grass tent or campervan site

Liked: Fantastic Views and lakes to swim in. Great facilities - very clean shower blocks, added bonus of shampoo and shower gel. Washing up liquid and sponges for washing pots, washing machine and communal fridge/freezer another added bonus. Children's outdoor toys to play with which is very thoughtful. Owners very approachable and checked on us every day to make sure we needed anything. Choose own pitch and very spacious. Highly recommend.

Disliked: Heating in shower room could be turned on in morning as got a little chilly.

From the manager: Thanks for your comments. The heating is set on a thermostate ,so i will look into the temperature.😊

Local attractions

Take a ride on the Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway. Bolton Abbey station (10 minutes’ drive) is a recreated 1800s building with a vintage café where you can sample delicious homemade cakes. There is a lively calendar of events at the railway, including afternoon teas, murder mysteries and steam-driving experiences. An Augustinian priory established in the 12th century, Bolton Abbey (15 minutes) now sits in ruins on the River Wharfe, where a series of stepping stones allow you to cross the way workers at the priory used to cross. There is also a bridge for when it’s deemed unsafe to use the stones. The spa town of Ilkley (15 minutes) is overlooked by a vast area of wild moorland, just to the south, which includes features like the Cow and Calf Rocks and the Twelve Apostles Stone Circle. In town, there’s a playground in the Riverside Gardens and a child-friendly nature trail through the Darwin Gardens.
