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

Orcaber Farm gets top marks for super clean, modern washrooms. Staff are friendly and helpful, pitches are roomy, and the countryside is great for walks. The shop and food are handy. A few mentioned spotty Wi-Fi and wanting a play area for kids. A favourite for repeat campers and highly recommended.

Camping pod (large)

Liked This is a fantastic place, the pod we stayed in was lovely and cozy, even though it snowed. The showers are brilliant, very clean and hot. They have two shower heads at different heights which is great if you don't want to wet your hair. Jamie and his wife(the wardens) were super friendly and helpful, went above and beyond. The showers and toilets were a short walk from the pods, this was a little inconvenient in the dark. I would suggest a couple of hooks in the pod for coats would be really handy.We also went to the new inn at Clapham for Sunday roast which was lovely and would recommend, it's under new management and staff are very friendly

Liked Spacious pitches, lovely shower & toilet block. Friendly staff.

Disliked Shop had no basics like bread, rice. A 50p dispenser would be useful as the reception/ shop was hardly open.

Jamie H.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Honestly what did I not like I stopped on ST08 and it was so peaceful and relaxing

Everything was immaculate, the washroom had underfloor heating, the showers and toilet area were the best I have seen.
If I had to rate this campsite out of 100 I would seriously score it 1000!
Highly recommended i will be back 100% the best campsite I have ever stayed on

Disliked I’m usually one to complain but I couldn’t fault this place in any way shape or form
Hats off to the owners

Alan S.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Nice well looked after site, the size of the pitch was very good, toilet and shower block was very well maintained and always clean plus plenty of space, loads of nice walks to go with your dog.

Disliked Fenced the camping field up with 12v electric tape and put sheep on but didn't put any signs up to say it was live my dog and a few more got a little shock.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us this 10/10 review of our campsite and also being kind enough to share your photos with us.

We do apologise that the dog experienced a small shock and we will look at erecting some signage as soon as possible.

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.
