  • 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-maintained campsite has spacious, level pitches with stunning views. Guests rave about the spotless, modern washrooms, often calling them the best ever. Friendly staff and handy on-site amenities like a shop and optional fire pits are big hits. It's a great base for exploring the countryside and hiking trails. Though it can get busy during peak season, it's highly recommended for its cleanliness, value, and welcoming vibe.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked The pitch was great. It had its own drain and a bench that we could sit on and play games/eat. It was also only a short walk to the toilets/shower block and the shop. The staff are all absolutely lovely. Not got a simple complaint about them. The toilets and showers are also absolutely spotless. The shop has everything you could want and there’s an information room with a coffee machine which was a great addition! We’ve been here 3 times now and it’s never failed us.

Disliked Our pitch was under a huge tree so it blocked most of the sunlight on a really nice day. We were sat in the shade for most of it. The location is good, in that it’s a beautiful area with nice scenic walks but not so good that if you have a campervan that you don’t want to drive once it’s all set up, you’re pretty stuck there. The pub in the local village was shut for 2 days while we were there so we had to walk for 2 hours to get into Settle. Other than scenic walks there’s not a lot to do, which isn’t a major negative, just depends on what you like to do. For us this wasn’t too bad, we enjoyed the walk.

Camping pod

Liked We stayed in a pod which was a really good size & definitely great value for money. Although the site was busy, it was still really peaceful. The 360° views were simply stunning. There is a shop which is well stocked, we’d forgotten our foot pump but thankfully they had them in stock. Saturday is pizza night, which you can order in advance, they’re freshly made & super tasty. All the staff we encountered, were really welcoming & friendly, it’s obvious they have a good team who work well together. The loos & showers were kept immaculate … infact, the whole site was kept immaculate! You can loan a fire pit & purchase the wood to go with it. Walking to the loos of an evening & seeing families huddled around fire pits whilst roasting marshmallows, was so lovely, especially under clear, starry skies, it had quite a magical feel to it. The site is very dog friendly too, there is a well maintained dog field, where dogs can run off lead. There are many beautiful walks near by. We went into a little town named, Settle. It was like stepping back in time, with all the quaint stone cottages & quirky shops, there’s also & co op & plenty of eateries. I genuinely can’t fault a single thing at Orcaber farm & we really look forward to visiting again soon 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for such a lovely and detailed review! We’re delighted you enjoyed your pod stay and all that Orcaber Farm has to offer. It’s wonderful to hear you loved the views, pizzas, facilities and friendly team. We really appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

Love everything at this camp site…

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.
