  • Peaceful and family-run site next to the Forest of Bowland
  • In a walkers' paradise near the Yorkshire Three Peaks
  • A variety of pre-ordered homemade pizzas on Saturday evenings
These routes are made for walking… Orcaber Caravan and Camping Site is in the Three Peaks area of the Yorkshire Dales National Park for hikes up Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent, and right next to the wanders and strides of the Forest of Bowland, a National Landscape. Many more walks and footpaths start directly from the site; get a map from the site information office to show you on your way. Based at the village of Austwick and a 10-minute drive from the market town of Settle, the site is a peaceful and family-run site set among outstanding scenery, with horses and sheep grazing in the neighbouring fields. Dogs are welcome (on leads on site at all times, please), and a big field with a stream is allocated as a dog walk area on site. Pitches at Orcaber Caravan and Camping Site are large, flat and well-drained. Facilities include separate ladies' and gents' showers with plenty of hot water; toilets; a freezer for ice packs, and an info room with details of local attractions, events and those many local walks. A variety of homemade pizzas are available on Saturday evenings from 5pm to 8.30pm from April to early September; these can be pre-ordered from seven days before.

What customers say

Immaculate facilities, friendly staff, and spacious pitches with extras like picnic tables. Well-stocked shop, great location for exploring. Can be busy at peak times, and Wi-Fi can be spotty.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely clean campsite. Facilities were excellent. Shower rooms clean,well worth 50p for nice hot shower.
Free use of fire pits was a bonus as we didn't have one.
WiFi was hit and miss, couldn't connect but to be honest was nice not having it.
Have booked for Easter break next year.

Disliked Nothing.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Large pitch, amazing views, very clean everywhere, bathrooms well maintained, clean and warm, with hot showers (50p - worth it). Fabulous encloseddog walking area, and a doggy wash station too (warm water, and I had a muddy pooch, so this was perfect). Lovely little on site shop, and free loan of fire pits was an absolute bonus. Loved it, and I've immediately booked to go back. Found a great 2mile route to Clapham village, which I walked with my doggy. Having a table/bench at each pitch and drinking water is fab and sooo convenient.

Disliked I wish I'd booked for longer!!

Local attractions

The Three Peaks of Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent in close range are a topping location for walkers – if you're here to hike, see if you can complete the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge to tackle the 24 miles around all three in one day. Orcaber Caravan Camping Site is also near the famed Ingleton Waterfalls Trail for woodland-based walks among spectacular northern scenery, and within easy driving distance of the waterfalls, stalactites and tours of the spectacular White Scar Caves, the longest show cave in the UK. Also recommended by the Orcaber team are the Settle to Carlisle railway line, through 73 miles of spectacular countryside through the Yorkshire Dales and the North Pennines, and passing splendid Ribblehead viaduct. The limestone formation of Malham Cove, a famed Yorkshire Dales beauty spot, is also a popular local spot. Yet more walks, hikes and heaps more spectacular scenery are at the Lake District National Park, about an hour's drive away.
