What customers say
Draughton Heights has great views and is super chill. Guests loved the clean, modern facilities (showers, loos, kitchen) and the friendly owners. Pitches are big, and there’s wild swimming on-site. Great for walks, even into Skipton. Top spot, highly recommended.

Unpowered grass tent or campervan site
Liked Gorgeous views, very clean and modern facilities (with a proper hot shower and good water pressure). The people running the site always kept it in great condition. The honesty system and access to fridge/freezer kettle and tea made all the difference. We tried the sauna and cold swimming which was fantastic.
Local area is amazing, great towns and great nature spots. Would definitely stay again.
Disliked The site is quite elevated and can be exposed to a lot of wind so prepare for this!

From the manager: Great photos, thankyou. Glad you enjoyed your stay. It does say in all our write ups about the elevated position and wind. Unfortunately we can not do anything about this except offer them a better place to pitch up on our site.😊

Liked -Nice large pitches
-super clean modern toilets and showers
-Really nice hand soap (such a nice touch)
-peaceful location
-aloud raised camp fires
-friendly owners
-not over crowded
-amazing views
We will definitely be back again to this site, its a rare gem, we were taken back by how clean the toilets and site are kept.
One thing I will say is that due to its high up location, it can get a little windy, but there are sheltered spots too so pick wisely.
