  • Scenic and well-equipped park in the Yorkshire Dales
  • Spa, heated pool, gym, sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi on site
  • Coffee lounge and restaurant serving homemade food
You'll want a long long stay at Long Ashes Park. For this spectacular and well-equipped site is in the Yorkshire Dales National Park for weeks' worth of hiking and cycling (including trails directly from your pitch)... and comes with a first-rate range of leisure and foodie facilities to keep you entertained and fuelled up for exploring. In the green countryside a couple of miles from the North Yorkshire village of Grassington, Long Ashes is nicely placed for guests to be as active or as laidback as they like. You could scramble up one – or all – of the Three Peaks, tackle the Dales Way alongside the River Wharf, stride along to local villages like Thorpe and Hebden, or take to two wheels along the 130-mile Yorkshire Dales Cycleway. If you'd rather spend your holiday in a more leisurely manner, buy spa day, facial and body therapy sessions for the Long Ashes Spa or linger for hours in the leisure club's heated pool, sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi (there's an extra charge for this). There's also a gym at the leisure club. Handily, the on-site Gamekeeper's Inn serves homemade food using locally-sourced produce, as well as cask and guest ales, a Sunday carvery and afternoon tea. The inn runs regular themed food evenings such as steak nights and Asian food nights. If you'd prefer a light bite, the coffee lounge serves sandwiches, baked potatoes and other snacks alongside tea, coffee, soft drinks and wine. The facilities at Long Ashes Park include family bathrooms, each with a large shower, a toilet and a wash basin.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Very pretty location. Quiet site. Clean facilities and large shower/ family toilet cubicle. Even better it was heated. Great access to pub/ play area/ cafe. Option of pool/ spa which we didn’t use Close to convenience shop with good supplies.

Disliked: Not enough trolleys to transport stuff from the car to the pitch. This was problematic when everybody packed away on a Sunday. No option of electric hook up. No access to communal fridge/ freezer. Quite expensive for a non electric pitch/ no access to fridge/ freezer ect. No wifi (you can pay for this) No phone signal unless you go to the pub.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: We had a great few nights at Long Ashes. Facilities were immaculate, views from the pitches were stunning and it was very peaceful. Staff at reception were superb and very friendly. The spa and pool area offered a great start to the day. Food in the cafe was exceptional and very reasonable too. We also ate in The pub on site which offered lovely food too and again with warm and friendly staff. We will definitely be going back.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: The site is very well run and perfect for us as we love getting back to nature. The showers are the best I've seen on a campsite. The staff were very accommodating and polite, particularly Carol who let me blow up my mattress in the office.

Disliked: Would have liked to have been told to book the spa as when we rolled up it was full because they are only allowed a limited number of none members in at a time.

Local attractions

Travel two miles to Grassington for a day around its tearooms and shops, then drop into the Grassington National Park Centre for info on what to see and do nearby. Walks leave right from the centre or from the village, including a waterside wander by the River Wharfe to Linton Falls, hikes over Grassington Moors, or a potter around the Grassington Riverside & Woods trail (pick up a leaflet for this at the centre). Grassington is also on the Dales Way, the 80-mile route from Ilkley in West Yorkshire to Bowness-on-Windermere in Cumbria: hardy types can tackle the 13 miles from Grassington to Yockenthwaite, or hike in the other direction on the 16-mile stretch to Ilkley. For cycling, take the Yorkshire Dales Cycleway from Grassington to Ilkley and from there to Bolton Abbey. If you'd much (much) prefer sightseeing and shopping days instead, the market town of Skipton is within 15 minutes' drive and Harrogate is within 50.
