  • Fully-licensed bar, shop and a popular pizza oven; bike storage
Got a bike? Get on it and pedal over to Dalesbridge, a cycle-friendly site between the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland. Spacious and family-run, it is within half an hour's drive of all three Yorkshire Three Peaks for hikes up Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent. First things first, though, head to the on-site shop to collect some local information and a map of the local area; many walking and cycling routes begin directly from the site. There is lockable bike storage on site for your valued two-wheeled vehicles, as well as a cycle wash area so you can hose the mud off after long days up hills and down dales. Half an hour’s drive away is the Gisburn Forest, where mountain bikers of all ages, fitness and nerve can pedal a route to suit. The Dales trails and Bowland bike paths aren't the only thing to look forward to, as Dalesbridge is a peaceful family site with spectacular scenery in all directions. There’s ample room, staff who are happy to help, and most importantly for mountain roamers returning with a thirst, a fully licensed bar (open at certain times). There is also a pizza oven and an on-site shop, where you can stop off for coffee, rolls and pastries at the weekend. Based in Austwick, the site is a 10-minute drive from the historic local market town Settle which has shops and supermarkets. The Settle-Carlisle railway is also a short drive away.

Unpowered grass site

Liked: Well kept site in a beautiful setting. Great access to walks and facilities. The pizzas on Saturday night was great. Staff were lovely.

Disliked: Facilities sometimes felt they were under strain, despite being quiet - queues for toilets, overflowing bins. Showers in toilet block nearest dog exercise area spread out across the whole block with water.

Powered gravel and concrete caravan site

Liked: The view and sunset was good
The flat newly gravelled pitch was level and a good size

Disliked: I know this is a popular and well loved site.
For me the facilities were lacking a 5 star review. The wash up area needs cleaning putting some plugs in the sinks would save water. The school children encampment made the wash up area worse with food waste in the sinks. The toilet shower blocks were cold and uninviting (near the reception) putting a self close mechanism on the door may help. We booked two nights only stayed one night. Found somewhere cheaper with better cleaner and warmer facilities
The building work and builders vans and what looked like vans the builders were sleeping that you had to pass by to get to the camping field was not a good first impression

Local attractions

Starting 10 minutes away, the walk to Ingleton Falls is gentle but rewarding, and even though you’re heading deep down instead of up, the caverns and wild rock formations of Whitescar and Ingleborough caves make for unmissable wanders. For walks with wildlife, make the half-hour trip to Malham Cove, where a pair of nesting peregrine falcons can be spotted in the summer months, alongside resident populations of jackdaws and housemartins. You can climb the massive amphitheatre cliffs of the cove, or follow trails up and around taking in the glacial Malham Tarn and Janet’s Foss waterfall. To see some wildlife at closer quarters, the Settle Falconry Centre (five minutes' drive) has daily displays of flying and feeding and if you feel you’d like to soar through the skies, the Ribble Viaduct section of the Settle-Carlisle Railway makes a fair imitation. If all this outdoor, high altitude stuff has made you peckish, head over to the Wensleydale Creamery (40 minutes) to learn how the famed crumbly cheese is made… and then sample some, but of course.
