  • Peaceful and family-run site next to the Forest of Bowland
  • In a walkers' paradise near the Yorkshire Three Peaks
  • A variety of pre-ordered homemade pizzas on Saturday evenings
These routes are made for walking… Orcaber Caravan and Camping Site is in the Three Peaks area of the Yorkshire Dales National Park for hikes up Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent, and right next to the wanders and strides of the Forest of Bowland, a National Landscape. Many more walks and footpaths start directly from the site; get a map from the site information office to show you on your way. Based at the village of Austwick and a 10-minute drive from the market town of Settle, the site is a peaceful and family-run site set among outstanding scenery, with horses and sheep grazing in the neighbouring fields. Dogs are welcome (on leads on site at all times, please), and a big field with a stream is allocated as a dog walk area on site. Pitches at Orcaber Caravan and Camping Site are large, flat and well-drained. Facilities include separate ladies' and gents' showers with plenty of hot water; toilets; a freezer for ice packs, and an info room with details of local attractions, events and those many local walks. A variety of homemade pizzas are available on Saturday evenings from 5pm to 8.30pm from April to early September; these can be pre-ordered from seven days before.

What customers say

A well-kept, super clean site with roomy, flat pitches. Toilets and showers are top-notch and spotless, with great hot water pressure. Friendly staff and a great spot for walks. Dogs have their own space. Food's a hit, especially pizzas and bacon sarnies. Some found noise an issue and wanted more kid activities.

Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked We stayed on a grass electric pitch. Pitches are a good size and level. The free firepits are dropped at your pitch and collected when you leave (wood and kindling can be purchased on site) . Excellent wifi for those that are interested.

Jade H.

Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked Everything. I have never stayed somewhere so clean, with so many amenities for such a cheap price. The welcome was lovely, I was directed to choose my own pitch on a HUGE flat field with lovely soft ground making it easy to pitch up. I’d have been happy to pay double what I did for my stay, the toilets are showers were exceptionally clean, as was the rest of the site. Perfectly
situated, amazing views of the sunset and sunrise, can’t fault a thing

Disliked Only the fact that I had to go to work Monday so couldn’t stay any longer. I will 100% be returning, for longer next time

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your photo and leave this lovely review of our campsite.
It sounds like you had a wonderful time and its great to hear that you will be coming back to see us and staying longer next time.

Liked The site was neat and tidy, the facilities were clean and well laid out. The reception staff were friendly and helpful.

Disliked The only very minor point was the lack of a cubicle for personal hygiene. Otherwise the bathroom and shower facilities were excellent.

Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site

Liked Excellent site. Given warm welcome on arrival. Pitch was a good size and all had own picnic tables, which is a nice touch. Great base for lovely walks to Clapham, Austwick and short drive to Settle. Admittedly the great weather last week helped. Really enjoyed our stay here, we will be back.

Local attractions

The Three Peaks of Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent in close range are a topping location for walkers – if you're here to hike, see if you can complete the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge to tackle the 24 miles around all three in one day. Orcaber Caravan Camping Site is also near the famed Ingleton Waterfalls Trail for woodland-based walks among spectacular northern scenery, and within easy driving distance of the waterfalls, stalactites and tours of the spectacular White Scar Caves, the longest show cave in the UK. Also recommended by the Orcaber team are the Settle to Carlisle railway line, through 73 miles of spectacular countryside through the Yorkshire Dales and the North Pennines, and passing splendid Ribblehead viaduct. The limestone formation of Malham Cove, a famed Yorkshire Dales beauty spot, is also a popular local spot. Yet more walks, hikes and heaps more spectacular scenery are at the Lake District National Park, about an hour's drive away.
