2 bedroom safari tent
From £95 (£95) 1 night, 2 adults
Our Safari Tent is sited in our small camping meadow, surrounded by farmland. Newbiggin Crag is just behind us and our tent makes the most of the stunning views of Ingleborough and the Yorkshire Dales that we are lucky enough to enjoy. You get the best of the views, being sited towards the front of the meadow, meaning your views are not affected by other visitors - possibly just by a few sheep and lambs in the field in front! There's plenty of space of your own and we offer just 5 pitches in total, giving you a calm and peaceful place to stay. Sleeping between 4 and 6 it's the perfect base to explore from - or to sit and admire the view! £95 per night or £665 per week (Based on 2 adults and 2 children sharing). £5 extra per night, per additional child. £10 extra per night, per additional adult. One Greener Camping Club membership required per booking (£12 annual membership fee if there are no current members in your group, which we can organise for you). What is included? Our Safari tent is very spacious, measuring 4.5 metres squared internally and boasting a 4.5 x 2 metre covered veranda! It comfortably sleeps 4 to 6 people. Bedroom 1 is furnished with a double bed with a brass frame. Bedroom 2 is furnished with a bunk bed which has a double on the bottom and single above. The living room also has a day bed which can be used as a further single bed. Bedding is included but if you would like to bring your own we can offer a £10 a night discount on your stay. The living area also has a dining table and benches which seat 6 people as well as the day bed sofa. Think less cold and muddy campsite and more canvas room with a view! The tent has remote controlled LED lighting which can be recharged. The chance to recharge is offered by a portable power station which has a (500W total / X-Boost 1000W) 512Wh battery capacity. This is perfect to power the lighting and charge up small devices. It is connected to a solar panel to gkeep it charged. When needed it can recharged in one hour (using mains electric) upon request. Please do not bring your devices such as kettles, heaters, toasters, hairdryers or straighteners as they overload the power station. On the veranda there are two loungers and two chairs accompanied by a small table. There is also a small kitchen station with a gas stove, kettle, 3 saucepans, a frying pan and basic BBQ tools. To the right of the Safari Tent is a picnic bench and Kadai Fire pit/ BBQ with basic tools. One sack of logs (further wood can be purchased if needed). Shared washing up, gas cooking facilities, fridge / freezer and charging points. Basic crockery, cutlery and cups. Drinking water point in the camping meadow Shared composting toilet and shower. Eco-responsible/ biodegradable products provided by Eco Homes Supplies - hand wash and washing up liquid are supplied. Please bring: Towels and any toiletries that are not mentioned above as included Sensible footwear, clothes and waterproofs – we’re based on the side of a fell and weather can be changeable even in summer, so come prepared and check the forecast before you travel. Food and drinks – the nearest shop is 3 miles away and we only sell milk, cheese and eggs at the farm so please come prepared. There are no takeaways or delivery services nearby.

2 bedroom safari tent
Liked: Loved the safari tent and location. As 2 friends travelling with 2 dogs we like to have our own bed. The beds were super comfy and the space inside was perfect with awesome views of the valley from our porch. We weren't as keen on the eco toilets. Although clean the smell was gag inducing. Not sure about the showers, I managed one stone cold shower as could not get the hot water to work. Loved access to the walks behind the campsite. I always look for sites with access to walks for the dog. The geology with its limestone paths was really interesting. A heater in the tent would be good as it did get quite chilly at night.

Liked: Peace and quiet. The stunning locale
Disliked: A little expensive for a solo traveller, but to be honest, most places are like this. You pay for the pitch, not the number of guests.

Liked: We had a lovely weekend in the sunshine at Shepherd's Crag. We liked that it was a small site and sustainable. Joe was helpful and friendly. The views were amazing and it was great to be able to walk from the site up onto the Crag and across Hutton Roof. We would definitely stay there again!

2 bedroom safari tent
Liked: We stayed in the new safari tent and had a lovely weekend :) The tent was a lovely set up, nice and clean and had all of your basics. The campsite is great with everything you need on a back to basics site, also facilities are easily accessed because there’s only a few pitches on the site so not too many people using them. Thank you for a lovely weekend :)

2 bedroom safari tent
Liked: Gorgeous views from the safari tent which was well equipped and set up lovely! Really enjoyed our stay on the quiet campsite. Remember your warm clothes as we found it a little chilly in the tent as there is no heating like some other glamping tents may have, however lovely and cosy in the comfy beds! The showers were clean and powerful. This was our first time using composting toilets which were kept clean although they did smell occasionally we wouldn't say this put us off our visit. Unfortunately somebody must have been smoking in the toilet and that smell for us was far worse. We would recommend this campsite to others and would love to come back! The children loved the oppertunity to see the live stock and it was lovely to wake up and see the sheep so close.

Liked: Gorgeous views, well kept small site with simple but pleasant facilities. The baby loved watching the cows come in to be milked. We'll be back!
Disliked: The only sink is quite high up, my arms got tired doing the dishes! A little step would be useful for us shorter campers!

Shepherd's camping pod
Liked: Couldn’t have been happier with our stay at the farm. The pod itself was gorgeous and had everything we needed. The bed was super comfy and the provision of stove, kettle and cutlery was great. The setting itself is stunning and waking up to that view was a real treat. I was pleasantly surprised by the facilities.
Disliked: Perhaps the only point to mention would be that the fire wood provided was too damp to use so we bought our own which was no real inconvenience. Didn’t manage to get hot water in the shower but again this wasn’t a problem for us.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hi Sophie, thank you for your lovely review - so glad you had a nice stay. The showers need to be run nice and hot with lots of flow to get the water heater to ignite! You should have mentioned the logs - we’ve had quite a bit of rain - I could have replaced them with a dry bag. Hopefully we’ll welcome you back in the future. Joe
