  • Peaceful family campsite in Yorkshire's pretty Aire Valley
  • A quarter of an hour's drive from Skipton and Saltaire
  • Within a quarter of a mile of bus stops and a railway station
Planning some travels that don’t rely on a car? This could well be the spot – Tip Top Campsite, on the banks of the Aire River, is within a quarter of a mile of public transport options like a railway station and bus stop, making it easy to get out and about exploring nearby places like Skipton, Ilkley and Saltaire. Not that there’s any reason to stray that far if you don’t want to. This site is in a great spot for exploring the surrounding Aire Valley on walks or bike rides – and amenities aren’t far off either. Steeton (a mile away) has a small supermarket, takeaway and restaurant, while the nearby village of Silsden (three quarters of a mile) has cafés, a larger supermarket and access to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal towpath. Staying on site for a while may well be an option, too – river fishing is allowed in the Aire if you've got the correct licence (although landing fish on the steep bank can be difficult), and the grounds are generally a supremely peaceful place to relax. The site is full of greenery, including over 800 willow trees and a small woodland by the beck that meanders through the farm. All of that foliage attracts wildlife, but the site is also home to domesticated animals like Kunekune pigs, geese, bees and hens that visitors are welcome to meet. Because of all the animals, please make sure that you use the designated dog exercise field if you're bringing a four-legged friend. Handily, the site also has two (7kWh) electrical vehicle charging points for guests to use.

What customers say

A ripper, tidy campsite with top-notch, clean facilities, new showers, and a communal barn. Owners are legends, farm animals are a treat, and the sites are massive. Handy spot near shops and transport. A bit of road noise now and then, but often not a drama – earplugs offered.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Lovely campsite well located to neighbouring villages/towns for shopping and days out. We were amazed how good the facilities were, it has pretty much everything you need. A lot of effort has gone in to the toilets which are well stocked with toiletries if you’ve forgotten anything.

The pigs were amazing to see and so friendly and we loved the roaming chickens. The owners were very welcoming and friendly. We had a lovely stay.

Disliked Noise from motorway
Loud music after 11pm

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: we are sorry about the loud music during your stay. A neighbouring farmer had a wedding at his farm and we had no control over the event. We also cant do anything about the dual carriageway but it dosnt have much traffic between 10pm and 6 am and we do offer free ear plugs in the barn.

It was a great first camping experience for my son! We will be back!

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Lovely site, nice clean toilets and wash areas. Can’t knock the facilities and so close to a supermarket too. We will be back again for sure. But the real draw is those little pigs you can go in and see. We LOVED it. The road is noisy but it’s not an issue and we did sleep. We will be booking again - I was even planning our next trip while I was still there

Liked Site was great, pretty basic but it worked very well and we enjoyed our stay .
Toilet a showers very clean, Wifi ok.

Disliked On our 1st night there were kids running around the site at gone midnight and had our van banged on 3 times and woke us up, very annoying, why do parents let this happen, disgusting!
I think site rules should be adhered to.

Local attractions

Once you’ve thoroughly explored the Aire Valley, there’s plenty more for walkers and cyclists to see over in the Yorkshire Dales National Park (20 minutes’ drive), or with a meander along the towpath of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (five minutes). Or, if you’d like your outdoor time to be filled in a different way, perhaps try the Silsden Golf Driving Range (two minutes). Places for a gentle stroll are plentiful, too – maybe you’d like to wander the grounds of Cliffe Castle Museum and Park (10 minutes) and the gorgeous Bolton Abbey estate (20 minutes) or take a tour through the well-preserved medieval rooms of Skipton Castle (15 minutes). The Italianate architecture of ‘model village’ Saltaire (15 minutes) makes this another lovely place for a day out. For other options, take a trip to Ilkley (15 minutes) to swim in the river and try out its foodie shops, learn about one of the nation’s favourite literary families at Brontë Parsonage Museum (20 minutes) or visit the Royal Pump Museum and have tea at Betty's Tea Rooms in Harrogate (40 minutes).
