  • Family-friendly site in scenic Pennines surroundings
  • Bar on site open Friday and Saturday; firepits and logs for hire
  • Traditional camping experience on the outskirts of Hebden Bridge
Mad about walking? Then you’d be silly to miss out on Aarons Campsite – the Cragg Vale location, between Halifax and Hebden Bridge, is right in the heart of the lush green Pennines, where heading out for a wander can turn into a full-blown hike that ranks up there with the best of them. The secluded family-friendly site, in an area of moors and fields, is within easy reach of local attractions such as the popular tourist town of Hebden Bridge. The surrounding hills and valleys (including Stoodley Pike) have been popular with trekking types for yonks too, whether for strolling along a riverside path, or for following stone causeways marking old packhorse routes. There's great dog-walking terrain in all directions too. It’s all about the relaxing back to basics camping experience here, but just have a chat with the staff and they’ll provide you with portable firepits and wood for your campfire (for a small extra charge) – they also have a larger fixed campfire available for group hire. The easily accessible fields are flat and drained. If you’re out of nosh or fancy leaving the cooking to someone else one evening, the site has a food shack and bar on site open on Fridays and Saturdays, where you can tuck into bacon butties and local brewed ales. But if you’re out in the car on a food mission, be sure to grab some bits for the barbecue and invite some of your newfound friends over for a evening meal.

What customers say

This friendly, family-run site offers a relaxed vibe, stunning nature, and great views. Staff are praised as helpful, the bar has entertainment, and fire pits are available. Facilities are basic but clean. It's good value for a "back to basics" escape, though weekend noise can be an issue.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Great views, nice site, fantastic friendly and helpful staff.

Disliked I left a day early because some other campsite users had loose dogs that were wandering. I have a reactive rescue dog that is stressed by the approach of other dogs, so it was simpler to leave.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Moved us to quieter location after complaining which was lovely and idilic. Bar and food shack are convenient

Disliked Advertised on website as 0 tolerance to amplified music. But we ended up next to 6 campervans and 4 cars in a circle with blasting music. It’s fine if it’s not a quiet campsite sometimes I want to go somewhere with friends that allows music aswell but I picked this one for a peaceful weekend with my partner. It’s also lacking in water points for its size

Local attractions

Cragg Vale, a 10-minute drive away, is a top spot to delve into local history and is crammed with independent shops for souvenirs and wallet emptying, from antiques and secondhand books to handmade quality crafts. There's more shopping, along with Victorian streets and a hillside setting, at Hebden Bridge (20 minutes' drive), frequently hailed as one of the best market towns in the UK and Europe. Check out the town events when you're here too, as Hebden Bridge is home to an acclaimed arts festival and the famed Handmade Parade. Hikers can ramble around all sorts of walking havens from here, with the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland both within an hour's drive for weeks' worth of contented tramping about. Or have a highly energetic time closer to home with a clamber up to Stoodley Pike, commemorating the Battle of Waterloo. There are splendid views of green countryside from here, so bring your camera. Brontë buffs might also want to check out the ruined farmhouse Top Withens (45 minutes), said to have been the inspiration for the Earnshaw home in Wuthering Heights. The surrounding moors are sure to have you searching for the nearest bookshop, or perhaps bawling out a certain Kate Bush song from the 70s…
