  • 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

This well-kept, clean site has spacious, level pitches. Guests rave about spotless facilities and friendly staff. Great for walks, with a dog area. Food's a hit. Minor notes: occasional noise, more kids' activities desired.

Jade H.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Everything. I have never stayed somewhere so clean, with so many amenities for such a cheap price. The welcome was lovely, I was directed to choose my own pitch on a HUGE flat field with lovely soft ground making it easy to pitch up. I’d have been happy to pay double what I did for my stay, the toilets are showers were exceptionally clean, as was the rest of the site. Perfectly
situated, amazing views of the sunset and sunrise, can’t fault a thing

Disliked Only the fact that I had to go to work Monday so couldn’t stay any longer. I will 100% be returning, for longer next time

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked The site was neat and tidy, the facilities were clean and well laid out. The reception staff were friendly and helpful.

Disliked The only very minor point was the lack of a cubicle for personal hygiene. Otherwise the bathroom and shower facilities were excellent.

Katerina S.

Camping pod

Liked We stayed at the pod and it was all we needed. Enough space, heating, picnic bench and table outside and firepit, perfect.

Facilities are also spot on, clean and more than enough of them.

There's a quite a big shop on site, we didn't use it but seems to have everything you could need/forget to bring.

Nice touch was a good coffee machine in one of the rooms, where you could buy a coffee etc. The weather didn't work out well for us so just getting a coffee was super convenient.

Hoping to come back again in summer with a tent.

Disliked The pod doors lock could do with updating, it's fairly flimsy and doesn't seem very secure. If you really wanted to, you could open the locked doors pretty easily.

Not really disliked but more of a suggestion, the decking on pods could do with a chicken wire over it as it gets very slippery when wet. Obviously just be careful but it's something that could easily result in an injury if someone wasn't.

Excellent site. Close to walks, Ingleborough Peak. Will be returning.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Fabulous site, pitches level, with both water and electricity on each pitch. Picnic table an added bonus too. Good spacing between pitches. Excellent toilet and shower facilities, spotlessly clean and with underfloor heating.
Great location for hiking or cycling. Easy walking distance to two villages with pubs and cafes.

Disliked Absolutely nothing to dislike.

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.
