  • Peaceful Yorkshire Dales site with views of Pen-y-Ghent
  • A 15-minute drive from Settle; steam train rides pass the site
  • Dog-friendly site within walking distance of three country pubs
Well, isn’t this a really rather fine rural setting – on the banks of the River Ribble and within easy rambling distance of restorative pints at one of Horton-in-Ribblesdale’s three country pubs: how fab... Cragg Hill Farm is in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and the views from this peaceful place won’t let you forget that for even a sec. Gaze in one direction and you'll hopefully see Pen-y-Ghent towering over the site; turn the other way and you might just catch a glimpse of the Settle-Carlisle Railway trains wending their way through the scenic surrounds. Settle is a 15-minute drive to the south; as well as being the launch point for train rides, it’s also a good place to source supermarket supplies (or have a swim or a game of golf if you’re shunning such mundanities as shopping). For other days out, it’s recommended you look not much further than roaming around the Yorkshire Dales – although you could also consider hitting the coast at Morecambe, an hour’s drive away, if you’re yearning for a bit of sea air. Back at the farm, life is pretty laidback, with no noisome ents to interfere with the peace, just toilets, hot showers and a washing-up area to keep you and your kit clean.

Shaista P.

Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Lovely campsite just a mile from the village. Great base for hiking the Three Peaks. Toilets were clean, nice views. We didn’t use the showers, so can’t comment on those.

Disliked However, our arrival experience left a lot to be desired.

We got there around 9:30pm and saw a small sign instructing us to check in before pitching up. We followed the road in search of the check-in area, but there were no further signs or directions. After getting nowhere, we eventually decided to pitch up.

Minutes later, the owner arrived and immediately began telling us off for not checking in. We explained we tried but couldn’t find it, and his response was a sarcastic, “It’s the house with the chimney” — as if that were obvious, with no signage. He was angry and hostile from the start.

The whole interaction felt unnecessarily aggressive. A couple of clear signs and a more polite tone would’ve made a huge difference. Instead, we were met with attitude.

We won’t be returning. There are plenty of friendlier campsites around – I’d recommend choosing one of those instead.

From the manager: This couple were found on site in a campervan closed up for the night. They made no attempt to contact reception by email or phone to ask if they could arrive after 9pm, to check if they could site a campervan on a grass tent pitch which they had booked or ask where to find reception. There were other campers about who I am sure would have advised them where to check in. Management would not have to make unnecessary visits to any pitch if the site rules were followed as per booking.

Do not stay here if you like sitting around a campfire chatting.

Local attractions

This is a mighty fine part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park to be based in, as it’s within easy reach of several fab sights. Malham Cove and Malham Tarn, half an hour away by car, combine to make an excellent day’s walk; the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail (25 minutes’ drive) is another that’s worth walking. If it’s not walking weather, get underground at White Scar Cave (20 minutes) or Ingleborough Cave (35 minutes). Not active enough? Those for whom Pen-y-Ghent is not so much scenery as a challenge can set out from the site for the climb to the 694-metre peak. Follow up by scaling slightly taller Ingleborough (also accessible on foot from the farm) and taller-still Whernside (15 minutes’ drive) to tick Yorkshire’s Three Peaks Challenge off your bucket list. You may like a little sit down after all that (or instead…) and a fine place for that is in a seat on the Settle to Carlisle Railway, which you can board at the nearest station a mile away in Horton-in-Ribblesdale. Even if you’re not up for the ride, you may like to take in the view of the Ribblehead Viaduct (15 minutes), famed for many as the route taken by the Hogwarts Express.
