  • Relaxed family-run site on a farm in the Yorkshire Dales
  • A 15-minute drive from Malham Cove, Gordale Scar and Janet's Foss
  • Well-spaced hardstanding pitches with a large dog exercise area
Ash Keys Caravan Park is a family-friendly site in a quiet corner of a family-run 165-acre farm. This peaceful spot is at the southern end of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, half a mile from the teeny hamlet of Eshton and five minutes’ drive from more extensive amenities (pubs, takeaways and small supermarkets) in Gargrave. This is a most handy spot to settle in for outdoor activities: you can take walks or bike rides directly from the park, join nearby major trails like the Pennine Way (three quarters of a mile from the park), Way of the Roses and National Cycle Network Route 68. The fab attractions around Malham (Malham Cove, Janet’s Foss and Gordale Scar) are about a 15-minute drive away. The well-kept pitches here all have electricity and water hookups, plus access to a shared toilet block, Elsan point and recycling facilities. Dogs are welcome on site, and have been give their own dedicated exercise area where they can have a good run about. Barbecues are also permitted, and perhaps at their finest when graced with good food from one of the two excellent farm shops within a 10-minute drive.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Absolutely fantastic site and so peaceful. Beautiful countryside and great dog walking area. It was wonderful to open the van in the morning and see the rabbits bouncing about. The welcome pack was outstanding with the amount of information which was very useful. The wifi and mobile is as published very hit and miss.

Disliked: The distance to the shower block and lack of loos on the main site. If you have mobility issues you may need to drive down. But there is only 2 showers so you have to wait sometimes.

Richard D. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: A beautiful tranquil site surrounded by countryside. The pitches are huge with very generous grass areas betwen them. Probably the largest we have ever encountered. Two large "village greens" in the centre of the two areas enhancing the spaciousness. Lovely hot showers a short walk to the farm. Clean toilets in garden sheds on the site itself. An extensive fenced dog walk adjacent to the site. Lovely walks from the site. The most comprehensive welcome pack ever prepared by the owners with usual site information, walking routes including guidance photos. Even guidance about the night sky. Visit the Masons Arms in Gargrave for delicious home cooked food and real ale. An excellent site which is well recommended.

Disliked: The on site facilities are rudimentary but clean and perfectly acceptable. The road leading from Gargrave is fairly narrow in places and just needs a little care, especially with a caravan, but care is all that is needed to safely navigate the 2 miles to the well-signposted site. My remarks are not a criticisms but merely observations.

Local attractions

If you’re not planning lengthy rambles on the long-distance paths, set forth for some of the local highlights instead. Get going in Gargrave (five minutes’ drive) with a waterside walk by the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, then see cascades in action at Linton Falls (20 minutes). Make time for Malham too: a 15-minute drive gets you over to this fab village and its trio of top sights (Malham Cove, Janet’s Foss and Gordale Scar). After that, take an uphill challenge on the mountain paths of Pen-y-Ghent (35 minutes) or head underground to see what’s in store at Ingleborough Cave (40 minutes). Other ways to get about? Perhaps with a day of horse riding from Kilnsey or a rather more laidback trip on the Settle-Carlisle Railway – both are about 20 minutes’ drive away. And if you’ve got tiddlers who’d benefit from staying in one place for a while, there’s plenty to keep them amused among the animals, tractor tours and play areas of Hesketh Farm Park (20 minutes).
