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.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: Lovely quiet campsite, not crammed full like many. Owner was very friendly. Facilities fab, even had face wipes and suncream in the toilets! Firepits, eggs and wood available to buy. Toys, piglets and chickens to amuse kids. Handy for malham cove and Bolton abbey. Will definitely return.

Disliked: Didn't bother us but you can hear the main road.

Liked: I like Jonathan and Carole.

Powered grass motorhome site

Liked: They have thought of everything. The site is well maintained and a good location. There are shared fridges for people who are camping. You can buy eggs from the farm, there are a few toys for kids. The piglets are adorable. There are plenty if toilets and the shower rooms are a decent size. It has a relaxed atmosphere, unlike some campsites that have rules plastered all over

Disliked: There is a noisy road nearby, but didn't bother me at night.

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).
