  • Peaceful Yorkshire Dales site with views of Pen-y-Ghent
  • A 15-minute drive from Settle; steam train rides pass the site
  • Dog-friendly site within walking distance of three country pubs
Well, isn’t this a really rather fine rural setting – on the banks of the River Ribble and within easy rambling distance of restorative pints at one of Horton-in-Ribblesdale’s three country pubs: how fab… Cragg Hill Farm is in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and the views from this peaceful place won’t let you forget that for even a sec. Gaze in one direction and you'll hopefully see Pen-y-Ghent towering over the site; turn the other way and you might just catch a glimpse of the Settle-Carlisle Railway trains wending their way through the scenic surrounds. Settle is a 15-minute drive to the south; as well as being the launch point for train rides, it’s also a good place to source supermarket supplies (or have a swim or a game of golf if you’re shunning such mundanities as shopping). For other days out, it’s recommended you look not much further than roaming around the Yorkshire Dales – although you could also consider hitting the coast at Morecambe, an hour’s drive away, if you’re yearning for a bit of sea air. Back at the farm, life is pretty laidback, with no noisome ents to interfere with the peace, just toilets, hot showers and a washing-up area to keep you and your kit clean.

What customers say

A lovely, quiet spot with grand views, perfect for ramblers and tackling the Yorkshire 3 Peaks. Plenty of flat pitches and clean, no-frills facilities with hot showers. Popular for its riverside setting and handy pubs. Mind the narrow road and occasional train rumble, but it's great value and a place you'll want to revisit.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Loved this campsite - very peaceful and the view was stunning. The only sound was that of trains occasionally passing on the railway line behind the site (approx once every half-hour between 09:00-21:30. They would toot their horns to warn at a crossing, however they always stopped before bedtime so it didn't bother me at night. There was also the nice sound of the nearby sheep.

This campsite has excellent access to public footpaths and nearby Bridleways. It is also accessible by train from the nearest Horton-in-Ribblesdale train station.

Pitches were very flat and the ground was relatively soft for tent pegs.

Generally a great area to get out into the Dales from. I had my car and was able to get to loads of places nearby.

Note - to pay the final balance once you arrive to the campsite, you will either need to do a bank transfer directly to the owner when you are at reception, or bring cash.

Disliked The final lane to the campsite is a couple of minutes drive along a narrow lane with few passing places (about 3 when I checked) and walls either side. I didn't come across anyone else when I was driving on it, however I could envision if you met another vehicle you may have to reverse quite a long way! Tourists with SUVs who don't know how to reverse may want to avoid this.

It would also be nice if the toilets were modernised a bit more and had toilet roll and soap replenished more frequently. However for the low cost of this campsite I can't really complain!

Liked Excellent campsite, very well maintained, clean facilities. I appreciated the check in was until 9pm, as I needed more than 3 hours to get there. Very well positioned for the yorkshire's three peaks challenge. I certainly plan to return there.

Local attractions

This is a mighty fine part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park to be based in, as it’s within easy reach of several fab sights. Malham Cove and Malham Tarn, half an hour away by car, combine to make an excellent day’s walk; the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail (25 minutes’ drive) is another that’s worth walking. If it’s not walking weather, get underground at White Scar Cave (20 minutes) or Ingleborough Cave (35 minutes). Not active enough? Those for whom Pen-y-Ghent is not so much scenery as a challenge can set out from the site for the climb to the 694-metre peak. Follow up by scaling slightly taller Ingleborough (also accessible on foot from the farm) and taller-still Whernside (15 minutes’ drive) to tick Yorkshire’s Three Peaks Challenge off your list. You may like a little sit down after all that (or instead…) and a fine place for that is in a seat on the Settle to Carlisle Railway, which you can board at the nearest station a mile away in Horton-in-Ribblesdale. Even if you’re not up for the ride, you may like to take in the view of the Ribblehead Viaduct (15 minutes), famed for many as the route taken by the Hogwarts Express.
