  • Well-maintained and quiet West Yorkshire family site in Ripponden
  • A 20-minute drive to Halifax, and 25 minutes to Hebden Bridge
  • Pubs, takeaways, supermarket and farm shop within five minutes’ walk
Chasing a bit of West Yorkshire peace and quiet, but still wanting lots to do? Riverside Glamping and Caravan Park is a clever spot to consider, as it’s in a peaceful hillside spot on the edge of Ripponden, yet still near sports fields, walking routes and cycling trails – and Leeds and Manchester are both under an hour’s drive away if you’re craving some big-city action (or looking for a quick escape from such). Tucked among the woodland and meadows, well-maintained modern facilities at the site include a communal shower block, washing-up facilities and waste disposal. You can also deal with any dirty clothes at the launderette (five minutes’ walk). Chores sorted, there's all sorts of stuff to do right next door. Play tennis and bowls, and give kids the chance to kick a ball around Mill Fold Park and Playground or watch them practise their moves at the skatepark. Ripponden (five minutes’ walk) is the springboard to walking and mountain-biking routes, and there’s coarse and fly fishing on the River Ryburn for anglers. The village is also well endowed with local supermarkets, a farm shop and a choice of Indian takeaways, pizzerias and homely pubs. Dogs are very welcome at Riverside, by the way, but please clean up after them. This is a quiet site, so you'll also be asked to keep noise levels to a minimum after 10pm.

What customers say

This small, peaceful, well-kept campsite boasts a superb riverside spot, a short walk to Ripponden's shops and pubs. Impeccable, modern washrooms and spacious, level pitches were highlighted. Friendly, helpful owners are often mentioned. Pods are comfy and warm. While mostly praised, a few noted occasional queues for limited washrooms at peak times and tricky access due to unclear signage.

FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Don’t be disheartened when you first approach this site, the road in is very deceiving - feels like you are entering a car park! It is a small campsite but extremely well run. The toilet / shower block is small, but adequately sized for the size of the site - and clean and well sized inside. The stella quality is the location, some beautiful walks down the riverside that our mutts loved. Quick walk into the town and everything you need is there and more! Very peaceful site, in the mornings you can hear the river flowing and the birds chirping.

Disliked No wi-fi (but not advertised so cannot complain!) - phone signal was good enough for wi fi. Did not want to leave at all!

Liked Reasonable toilet and showers.

Disliked Pitches very close together. EHU somewhat basic, too many splitters on one supply.
Very basic information available, no signage.

Local attractions

Walkers, get ready to go. Grab your hiking boots and stride out across the Beacon Hill Romulus to see the peaks of former volcanoes, stroll across the dam at Ryburn Reservoir (both five minutes’ drive) or hike up to the landmark Stoodley Pike (35 minutes) to admire Calderdale views from the monument. For a taster of Yorkshire’s industrial past, walks at National Trust-owned Hardcastle Crags (half an hour) take in former cotton mills and workers’ cottages. Keen to be out exploring on two wheels? Cyclists are just as well catered for, so try the looped trails on rugged moorland or head up to Hebden Bridge (25 minutes) and follow the towpath along Rochdale Canal for gentle family bike rides. Keep the kids entertained with immersive experiments and themed activities Eureka! The National Children’s Museum in Halifax (20 minutes), or spend some time browsing unusual boutiques at the monumental 18th-century Piece Hall – it’s also a lively centre for concerts and seasonal events so check to see what’s on before you go.
