Looking towards the barn where the washing facilities are located

Back-to-basics rural site in the stunningly scenic Yorkshire Dales
A 15-minute drive from Hawes and the Wensleydale Creamery
Dog-friendly spot with firepits, clean toilets and hot showers

Those who believe back-to-basics doesn’t have to mean entirely no frills will feel vindicated at Stablefell Holidays, a family-friendly site 15 minutes’ drive from the Yorkshire town of Hawes that marries basic stays with the comfort of cosy facilities. Deep in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this scenic spot makes a fab base for nature-filled stays – it's a wildlife haven, about a mile from Lake Semerwater and the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust’s nature reserve. The former will keep guests busy with watersports (canoeing, sailing, windsurfing and fishing) while the latter will have guests looking to the skies in the hopes of spotting oystercatchers, snipe and whooper swans. The site is dog-friendly too (as long as dogs are kept on a lead), so it’s a good thing that there’s a wealth of lengthy wanders and hikes starting from base, including setting off across fields to the lake, following the River Bain as far as Bainbridge village, and wandering the valleys of Raydale and Wensleydale. If more of a laidback break is called for, that’s handily sorted too: the site is car free – wheelbarrows are available for bringing kit and caboodle from car park to pitch – so peace is not easily disturbed. You'll also be free from the sound of pinging gadgets too, as there's no wifi or mobile phone reception at this site (a bonus for many folk seeking a break from the constant communication of modern life…) Each pitch comes equipped with a firepit for cosy evenings next to an open fire, and the clean facilities and hot showers will ensure guests feel fresh at all times.

What customers say

Stablefell Campsite gets a big tick for its cracking rural spot, roomy sites, and spick-and-span facilities. Campers rave about the helpful owners, chilled vibes, and ace views. On-site extras like the shop, pizzas, and cute animals are a hit. Minor gripes like no phone chargers or slow shower drains didn't spoil the generally brilliant stay. It's a top spot for a quiet escape surrounded by nature.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Stablefell Campsite is absolutely fantastic and, without a doubt, the best campsite we’ve ever stayed at. The location is brilliant, situated perfectly between Hawes and Aysgarth, with plenty to see and do nearby. There are also lots of great pubs just a short drive away.

Jo and her partner are incredibly friendly and genuinely can’t do enough for you. The toilets and facilities are immaculate and very modern, which really adds to the experience.

The free-roaming chickens are such a lovely touch and are incredibly friendly — they’ll happily come right up to your tent! There’s also a reasonably priced essentials shop on site, which is really convenient.

The pitches are huge and separated by longer, uncut grass, giving you a lovely sense of privacy. The views are absolutely beautiful and the whole site has such a peaceful, relaxed atmosphere.

Another lovely touch was the two goats on site, who are playful little characters and great fun to watch.

We would stay here again in a heartbeat and would highly recommend Stablefell Campsite to anyone looking for a beautiful, friendly and peaceful place to stay.

From the manager: Thankyou for your feedback and we are glad you enjoyed your stay.
With regards to charging your phone this is a service we do not advertise that we have. We sell chargers for your car to charge them yourself as we explained but our insurance doesn't cover this.

Great location, had the best time.…

Local attractions

Start stays with explores of nearby Hawes, a small town 15 minutes’ drive from the site. This is among Yorkshire’s most well-known spots, home not only to the Dales Countryside Museum, but the Wensleydale Creamery as well, where visitors can take part in tours and demonstrations, and catch up on the exploits of the man-and-dog duo that made Wensleydale cheese so famous. Not much into cheese? Sample other flavours at the town’s Raydale Preserves. For a taste of history, there’s no need to travel all that far either. The site’s just 30 minutes from the 14th-century Bolton Castle and its bird of prey displays, archery demonstrations, wild boar feeding, and castle and garden tours. Slightly further afield are the follies of the Forbidden Corner, the remains of Middleham Castle (Richard III’s childhood home), and the ruined Jervaulx Abbey, all within 40 minutes of base. To experience the Dales’ natural landscape, spend some time outdoors with pilgrimages to Aysgarth Falls (20 minutes), or dive below the surface at White Scar Cave (40 minutes) – the UK’s longest show cave – and Ingleborough Cave (55 minutes). Prefer to spend some time away from the countryside instead? It’s 50 minutes from base to the large market town of Richmond for a day among its museums, castle, falls and art gallery.
