  • 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.

Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Large pitches , free to choose location

Disliked Railway track running next to site with crossing meaning every train beeps born.

Running time from 7:30am til around 9:30pm at various intervals.

Didnt ruin the stay just a heads up prior would have been nice.

Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Excellent location, tonnes of space and never felt too close to others. My boy loved the trains that were super close and the river too. Easy to check in also.

Disliked Toilets had no electricity which made things a little difficult!

Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Plenty pitches to choose from. Very spacious and not limited to a certain amount of space.
Pitches not allocated so if camping with others you can easily get a space together.
Lovely to have easy access to the river where the kids loved paddling.
Fields are well looked after.
Plenty toilets and clean shower block.
Trains passing by are not an issue as some previous comments as they don’t run during the night.

Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Great location great views of pen-y-ghent. Train line runs next to the site but wasn't that noticable and my daughter loved seeing them. A very chilled out site and facilities are good. You can choose where you pitch and there's plenty of space across a couple of fields. Main facilities and showers are at the farm but there are a few cabin toilets dotted around down the other fields with a simple wash up sink. All are cleaned and topped up daily. You can park your car on your pitch which is great, unless you want to camp in the small field with picnic benches, no cars are allowed on this section. Not too far to walk to the nearest pub, can easily be done within half an hour. Dog friendly and child friendly (my daughter is 14 months old and this was her 1st camping trip)

Disliked Nothing.

Liked Loads of space. Plenty of room for everyone.
Relaxed atmosphere. Not loads of rules but everyone respected quiet times and kept the shared facilities clean.
Great location for walking and admiring the views.
Amazing value for money considering the facilities available - hot showers, lots of water taps around the site, plenty of loos and loo roll.

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 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.
