  • Scenic, well-equipped park in the Yorkshire Dales National Park
  • Spa, heated pool, gym, sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi on site
  • Coffee lounge and restaurant serving homemade food
You'll want a long, long stay at Long Ashes Park… This spectacular and well-equipped site is in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, where there are weeks' worth of hiking and cycling (including trails directly from the pitch). It also comes with an excellent range of leisure and foodie facilities to keep guests entertained and fuelled for exploring. Set in green countryside a couple of miles away from the North Yorkshire village of Grassington, the site is nicely placed for guests to be as active as they like. Scramble up one – or all – of the Three Peaks, tackle the Dales Way alongside the river Wharf or stride along to local villages like Thorpe and Hebden. If you're a keen cyclist, you could also take to two wheels along the 130-mile Yorkshire Dales Cycleway. Those who prefer to spend the holiday in a more leisurely manner can buy a spa day, facial or body therapy sessions at the Long Ashes Spa or linger for hours in the leisure club's heated pool, sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi (there's an extra charge for this). Handily, there's also a gym at the leisure club. The on-site Gamekeeper's Inn serves homemade lunch or dinner dishes and also hosts speciality nights such as fish Friday and Sunday lunch. If you'd prefer a light bite, the coffee lounge serves sandwiches, baked potatoes and other snacks alongside tea, coffee, soft drinks and wine. The facilities at Long Ashes Park include family bathrooms, each with a large shower, a toilet and a wash basin.

What customers say

Great facilities, lovely views, peaceful spot. Pub and pool are a hit. Some find it pricey for tents, with extra pool fees and few electric pitches. Minor gripes about trolleys, hand dryers, and food service.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Absolutely superb site. Booked a camping space on the day for a last minute night away, we had a choice of where to pitch up , friendly and helpful staff who welcomed us as new visitors to the site.
We loved the fact the site was car free ; brilliant shower and toilet facilities , a terrific location for a base for many walks in the area . We will definitely take up the opportunity to use the leisure facilities and spa next time .
Highly recommended

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked The pitch was great! Being able to choose where we wanted to pitch up was a nice touch. Luckily we must have landed on a perfect week. Our kids had broke up and some schools clearly haven’t yet so only 3 other tents on the whole camp.
The family shower facilities are top notch! Beautifully clean and spacious. Great water pressure and piping hot. We also used the spa and pool for several hours one of our days which is a great addition to a fantastic camping spot. As we were camping the price was half price of the website prices.
We had a few drinks in the Gamekeepers inn on site but which agin is beautifully decorated and maintained. We didn’t try any food during our short stay.
The staff were truly amazing. Nothing was a problem, very accommodating and so friendly.
Also geographically it’s amazing! Within 5-20 minutes there are several places we visited that are just wonders of the North Yorkshire. Linton Falls is one of them. If you happen upon this campground you must visit.
This really was a break my family and I needed and Long Ashes truly came through for us. 10 out of 10 👍

Disliked Irritating flies!! Whilst setting up and breaking down flys were a problem. But one we settled they weren’t an issue.

Disliked Expensive site and not worth the money.
Pool is extra which wasn’t in description so we only found out on arrival. We paid £30 (£10 adults, 5£ children)which I think is very overpriced and pool was cold. Not sure why but pool is very dark, was that supposed to be mysterious atmosphere or romantic? Well it’s not.
Ducks and rabbit poo on the field everywhere. I have a 1 year old and just started walking and he fall a lot and picks everything up so couldn’t let him go to explore.
Grass freshly mowed and was everywhere.
Badly Decomposed dead rabbit in the overgrown grass in the middle of the camping field and one dead rabbit just outside fence where we were staying, which we have cleared as we have small children and they have been very upset.
Only 5 toilets, which was ok for our stay because it wasn’t busy but I can imagine it’s not fun when there is more people.
Small play ground.
No phone signals.
Also we had a couple who put their tent very close to ours, they have decided to have a open fire next to the tent, smoke went everywhere and doesn’t seems that there was anyone there actually checking the site as you not allowed to have a fire there.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Good reception area with a cafe.
Shower block on camping field was brilliant.

Disliked The pub on site, charged extortionate prices for the food, the camping field had no electric hook up and you weren't allowed vehicles on the field, so all the camping equipment had to be transferred 2 to 3 hundred meters from the car park to the tent pitch in a metal trolley which the park provides. I was not happy!!!.

Local attractions

Travel two miles to Grassington for a day around its tearooms and shops, then drop into the Grassington National Park Centre for info on what to see and do nearby. Walks leave right from the centre or from the village, including a waterside wander by the River Wharfe to Linton Falls, hikes over Grassington Moors, or a potter around the Grassington Riverside & Woods trail (pick up a leaflet for this at the centre). Grassington is also on the Dales Way, the 80-mile route from Ilkley in West Yorkshire to Bowness-on-Windermere in Cumbria: hardy types can tackle the 13 miles from Grassington to Yockenthwaite, or hike in the other direction on the 16-mile stretch to Ilkley. For cycling, take the Yorkshire Dales Cycleway from Grassington to Ilkley and from there to Bolton Abbey. If you'd much (much) prefer sightseeing and shopping days instead, the market town of Skipton is within 15 minutes' drive and Harrogate is within 50.
