  • Family-friendly, peaceful site near Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire
  • Half an hour’s drive from Gibson Mill and Haworth
  • Direct access to the Pennine Way; other footpaths nearby
Fancy a spot of almost-wild camping on a working family farm in the South Pennines? You’re looking at the right place then, as Ridge Fold Camping is a pop-up campsite surrounded by farm animals and with wonderful scenery on the edge of the Brontë moors. The area is well known for its birds, wildlife and spectacular scenery, with miles of footpaths – including the Pennine Way – to explore, making it the perfect location for walking or mountain biking. Or you can simply kick back amid the wonderful views and enjoy a leisurely break surrounded by nature. Hike up to Hardcastle Crags, 20 minutes’ drive away, or up the activity levels with a moorland yomp to Top Withens (90 minutes’ walk away) to see the inspiration for Emily Brontë’s famous novel ‘Wuthering Heights’. On-site facilities include a ladies and gents’ toilet block, a shower shack and a cold-water bowser for drinking water. Well-behaved dogs are welcome too, but due to the livestock on site, canine chums need to be on a lead at all times.

What customers say

Grand spot, loads of space, spotless loos and showers. Owners are sound, always willing to help. A bit windy and basic facilities, but the views are deadly. Pub next door's a bonus. Will be back!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Great camp site with amazing host
Jane couldn't be any nicer if she tried was great to see her bringing the grandchildren to help her proper family run

The site is one of best I've stayed on in the sense of the location is just far enough away from town to relax in the countryside but also close enough to nip back when you forget stuff which we did 😂

The showers and toilets where nice and clean which is good to see as most just have a porta loo

This has become are new local campsite we are back again this weekend

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such an amazing review, it is very kind and massively appreciated😁👌
So looking forward to seeing you all again and spending quality time with you.

Mixed toilets with open urinals
Had to wait for the shower and toilet and the camp site wasn’t even full

From the manager: Hi, thanks for coming and your review Jillian.
When I had a chat with you both on Friday evening you seemed more than happy with the campsite?
I’m not sure what you were actually expecting from a pop up campsite on a working farm that is only open 60 days a year.
May I suggest, you steer clear of pop up sites and look at larger campsites which offer more permanent facilities, obviously though you would have to pay more than £8.50 per person per night.
Kind regards Jane

Beautiful site with the friendliest owners!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Wow what a great little find this was! It was so nice and peaceful with beautiful views. The facilities were spotless, well stocked and had little added extras such as shower gel, feminine products and washing up liquid. Jane was so helpful and welcoming, providing us with firepits and making sure everyone had a great camping experience. It was so nice to meet her lovely little family as well. Can’t wait to come back xxx

Local attractions

Mix in some cultural time with a visit to Emily’s study at the Brontë Parsonage Museum (half an hour's drive) in Haworth, and take a tour of the Piece Hall (35 minutes), Halifax’s wonderfully restored Georgian-era cloth hall. You can learn all about West Yorkshire’s former textile industry at Gibson Mill (30 minutes), which produced cotton until 1890. Pick up souvenirs for the folks back home from Boundary Mill outlet store (20 minutes) in Colne, or potter around the indie shops in Skipton (40 minutes), which is also gateway to hikes in the Dales. The art deco Hebden Bridge Picture House (15 minutes) takes care of any rainy days with showings of feel-good films, while a nose around the famous May’s Shop (10 minutes) in Heptonstall is recommended – it’s been run by the same elderly lady for years and is a much-loved local institution.
