  • Pop-up North Yorkshire campsite five minutes’ walk from Grassington
  • Bolton Abbey 25 minutes’ drive; Stump Cross Caverns 10 minutes
  • Spectacular River Wharfe and Yorkshire Dales National Park views
Wow, it’s a splendid view of the River Wharfe that you get from the pitches at Grassington Campsite. If you’re looking for a back-to-basics Yorkshire camping adventure with the kids during the school summer holidays, this spot surely must be on your list. A pop-up campsite with grass pitches, it’s five minutes’ walk from the centre of Grassington, gateway to expeditions throughout the scenic Yorkshire Dales National Park. There are shops in the village for stocking up on foodie treats, and you can abandon self-catering to head for local cafés and tea rooms, or perhaps check out a traditional Yorkshire pub – there are several inviting options within 10 minutes’ drive. If you get your timing right, you may get to see stars of the small screen filming ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ in Grassington – but what is guaranteed, however, is that you can walk stretches of the Dales Way directly from the campsite (bring any dogs to join in the fun). The amenities back on site include a toilet trailer with ladies and gents toilets and a unisex shower trailer. There is no electricity, so bring torches for finding your way back to your pitch after dark.

Liked Great views, walking distance to town which was lovely for a wonder around as well as a slice of cake and tea. The pitch its self was good, field was quiet and toilets were always clean.

Louise S.

Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite

Liked You could pick where you pitched, and were able to have your car next to you, this great when you have a small tent and are in and out of the car all the time, lovely hot showers and the proximity to Grassington was about 5 mins walk, plenty pubs and places to eat

Disliked Thought the price was a bit steep, also nothing to dry your hands on after you’ve been to the loo

Recommend to friends Visit again

A really superb campsite!

Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite

Liked Grassington is a wonderful campsite. The facilities are fantastic: the toilets are really clean as are the lovely hot showers. Jason is so helpful too. The views are amazing and it’s only a five minute walk into Grassington itself, which has great coffee shops and restaurants. This has to be our favourite campsite. Thank you SO much Jason!

Liked Quiet, plenty of room, ideal for walking, 5 minutes to centre

Disliked Be warned, in summer, the last hour before darkness, you really need some insect repellent.

Local attractions

There’s more than enough to do around Grassington to keep the whole family happy. Let the kids have a run around among the bewitching follies and water fountains at The Forbidden Corner (45 minutes’ drive), and for an active family day scrambling around on zipwires, make for Raven Tree Top Adventure (20 minutes). At Bolton Abbey (25 minutes), wander among spectacular church ruins, take the stepping stones across the River Wharfe and watch open-air cinema in summer months. Close by is Hesketh Farm Park (25 minutes), where the whole family can pet farm animals and get lost in the straw maze. Hit a rainy day? No problem; take a trip deep underground to see prehistoric fossils and limestone formations at Stump Cross Caverns (10 minutes). To explore the dales on two legs, stroll down to Linton Falls (10 minutes’ walk) from your pitch and follow the Dales Way down to Hebden Suspension Bridge (half an hour). For wild dales views, circumnavigate the lake at Grimwith Reservoir (five minutes’ drive), and for more demanding hikes, follow the way-marked route up to the top of Simon’s Seat (20 minutes) to look out over Barden Fell.
