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

This well-kept campground has spacious, level sites with amazing views and is super clean. Guests rave about the modern, spotless washrooms, helpful staff, and handy on-site store. Dog-friendly features like an exercise field and wash station are a big hit. Fire pits are available, and the Saturday night pizza is a must-try. It's a great base for exploring the Yorkshire Dales.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Very large open space which was beautifully quiet and serene. Clean and very nice facilities including showers and toilets. Very welcoming owners, would definitely return as location from A65 makes a good stop off if going further north/afield. Good WiFi as well which came in handy.

Camping pod

Liked I was only there for the night and I arrived after 7pm, but my call was answered quickly and the lady attending the site was very helpful, the camping pod was clean and tidy and provided the ideal accomodation for my stay.

The toilet block was exceptionally clean too.

Liked My first time solo and was very apprehensive
Lovely check in and easy to park up
Beautiful showers and fab butty in the morning x
Lovely dog walk and off lead area
Rained heavy in the night so didn't go anywhere

Disliked Nothing all great

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re especially pleased to hear that your first solo trip went so well and that you felt welcome and comfortable from the moment you arrived.

It’s great to hear you enjoyed the showers, your morning butty and our dog walking and off-lead areas too. Such a shame about the heavy rain overnight, but hopefully next time the Yorkshire weather will be a little kinder to you!

We’d love to welcome you and your four-legged companion back to Orcaber Farm again soon.

Disliked Nothing

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review and for choosing to come back and stay with us again – this time with the family and grandkids too!

We’re really pleased you all enjoyed your stay, despite the weather not being quite so helpful for the solar power! Glad the information room came in handy for keeping you charged up.

It’s great to hear you enjoyed the food too, and The Game Cock is certainly a lovely little walk from the site.

Thank you again for your kind words about the site and our team. We really appreciate it and look forward to welcoming you all back again soon.

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.
