Scenic and well-maintained site less than a mile from Bolton Abbey
Skipton and Ilkley 15 minutes' drive; half an hour to Grassington
Coffee shop and kitchen on site; farm park and pub a short walk

A gorgeous Yorkshire Dales location, spectacular views, top-notch facilities and heaps to do nearby – it’s no wonder Catgill Farm has become a firm favourite with customers. And it’s also no wonder that it’s been named by a national newspaper as one of the country’s coolest campsites… The setting here is special indeed, on a family-run farm just under a mile from the town of Bolton Abbey. It’s the kind of place where you can craft exactly the kind of break you’d like, be that an active one filled with hikes and action-packed days out or a more leisurely one spent putting your feet up on site and then perhaps strolling over to the local pub. It’s also the kind of place where you won’t need to rely on your car all the time – set out on foot and you can reach Bolton Abbey in about 15 minutes for the famous 12th-century priory ruins, stepping stones across the River Wharfe and a sandy beach for paddling. Hesketh Farm Park is just across the road, or you could take a walk over the hill to Bolton Abbey Steam Railway. There are several places to eat within easy walking distance too, including a smart pub (10 minutes away across the fields) and an American diner that does excellent breakfasts, waffles and homemade ice cream. Not that you have to go that far for a feed – the site has its own coffee shop where you can set the day up well with a coffee and a croissant. Other facilities are just as excellent, including a high-quality bathroom block and a kitchen with washing-up area, charging points and three shared fridge-freezers. You’ll also be able to hire a firepit for a cosy campfire evening.

Dennis S. May 2025

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch (large)

Liked: Beautiful location with some great hiking on the doorstep.
Showers and toilets very clean, friendly staff

Disliked: Insufficient showers for the number of people on the site. Very haphazard were tents without electric allowed to pitch. Some even pitching between the electric pitches greatly limiting the space available to set up properly. Not what I expected given the cost of the pitches. Also the pitch was on such a slope that there was no way of having a level bedroom area. Couldn't even place a drink on the floor without it falling over. No advance warning of this issue which was very disappointing.

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: This was a really lovely site, a perfect location for visiting Bolton Abbey. Our pitch was allocated prior to arrival. The shower and toilet facilities were very clean and the shower was really good. You can hire a firepit which is a fabulous idea. We visited in the week when it was very quiet, so missed the weekend pizzas!

Local attractions

Once you’ve warmed up with a few local walks, there are plenty more to tackle, including the long-distance Dales Way and routes around Malham (half an hour’s drive) including those to Malham Cove and Janet’s Foss. Several local villages and towns are good for a stroll too, including Skipton, where you can visit the castle and take a boat trip, or Ilkley, where you can follow up a walk to the Cow and Calf rocks with a dip in the river and a cake from Betty’s Tea Rooms. Both towns are about 15 minutes away. Addingham (10 minutes), Burnsall (15 minutes) and Grassington (half an hour) are other good options nearby.   If you need to entertain the kids, Hesketh Farm Park (five minutes’ walk) is the place to start, with tractor tours, a straw maze and animals to meet. They may also rather enjoy the Oldest Sweet Shop in the World (half an hour’s drive) or a ride on the Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway (five minutes), especially if it’s a day when Thomas the Tank Engine is in town.
