  • Peaceful family campsite in Yorkshire's pretty Aire Valley
  • A quarter of an hour's drive from Skipton and Saltaire
  • Within a quarter of a mile of bus stops and a railway station
Planning some travels that don’t rely on a car? This could well be the spot – Tip Top Campsite, on the banks of the Aire River, is within a quarter of a mile of public transport options like a railway station and bus stop, making it easy to get out and about exploring nearby places like Skipton, Ilkley and Saltaire. Not that there’s any reason to stray that far if you don’t want to. This site is in a great spot for exploring the surrounding Aire Valley on walks or bike rides – and amenities aren’t far off either. Steeton (a mile away) has a small supermarket, takeaway and restaurant, while the nearby village of Silsden (three quarters of a mile) has cafés, a larger supermarket and access to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal towpath. Staying on site for a while may well be an option, too – river fishing is allowed in the Aire if you've got the correct licence (although landing fish on the steep bank can be difficult), and the grounds are generally a supremely peaceful place to relax. The site is full of greenery, including over 800 willow trees and a small woodland by the beck that meanders through the farm. All of that foliage attracts wildlife, but the site is also home to domesticated animals like Kunekune pigs, geese, bees and hens that visitors are welcome to meet. Because of all the animals, please make sure that you use the designated dog exercise field if you're bringing a four-legged friend. Handily, the site also has two (7kWh) electrical vehicle charging points for guests to use.

What customers say

Grand spot, friendly folk and spotless facilities. Owners are sound, and the farm animals are a tonic, especially the little pigs! A bit of road noise but no bother. Handy for walks, shops and the bus. Top tip for a quiet break.

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked The owner and his wife were lovely and welcoming, both very busy attending to the upkeep of the site. The toilet blocks were clean and warm, with plenty of toilet roll. The piglets, pigs, geese and chickens were charming and made the stay really fun as it was like a scene from a disney film when they all came running to greet us or should i say the food we had in our hands!

Robert S. 1 review

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Location Great for public transport and the footie Village less than 10 minutes walk, Aldi supermarket and train station virtually on doorstep. Good communication from hosts. Looks great place to take kids

Disliked Nothing for us personally. Some may not be too keen on noise from adjacent by-pass where it appears local bikers like to do runs although free earbuds are available and was aware of this having travelled up and down said road in past this did not bother me. Appeared to be 2 hookups only available so book early if required. Disappointed their season ends in September as fancied going back in October for nearby Steam Railway beer and music festival but understandable as this is a proper grass only site and these are were minor issues to us personally and did not distract from our general enjoyment of the site

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked Really nice quaint site, hosts very polite and hospitable. The site is very roomy and welcoming especially the little piggies. The site is a short 5 minute walk into the lovely town that has loads of nice walks. The facility are absolutely spot on for what is needed on site and everything they can control they have it under.

Disliked Motorcyclists and boy racers absolutely blasting up the road through the night lets the brilliant little site down.

Liked This site has a really lovely feel to it. We had a warm welcome - and welcome help when putting the awning up. Loved the pigs and geese, and walking around the site, which was bigger than first thought. Appreciated the little touches in the toilet/showers, which were very clean. We live in Silsden and wanted to have a 'dummy run' putting up the awning before going on a longer trip. We loved it so much we will go back when we need a quick break!

Local attractions

Once you’ve thoroughly explored the Aire Valley, there’s plenty more for walkers and cyclists to see over in the Yorkshire Dales National Park (20 minutes’ drive), or with a meander along the towpath of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (five minutes). Or, if you’d like your outdoor time to be filled in a different way, perhaps try the Silsden Golf Driving Range (two minutes). Places for a gentle stroll are plentiful, too – maybe you’d like to wander the grounds of Cliffe Castle Museum and Park (10 minutes) and the gorgeous Bolton Abbey estate (20 minutes) or take a tour through the well-preserved medieval rooms of Skipton Castle (15 minutes). The Italianate architecture of ‘model village’ Saltaire (15 minutes) makes this another lovely place for a day out. For other options, take a trip to Ilkley (15 minutes) to swim in the river and try out its foodie shops, learn about one of the nation’s favourite literary families at Brontë Parsonage Museum (20 minutes) or visit the Royal Pump Museum and have tea at Betty's Tea Rooms in Harrogate (40 minutes).
