Spacious site in the Yorkshire Dales, a 10-minute drive from Skipton
Bolton Abbey Steam Railway 10 minutes’ drive; Ilkley 15 minutes
Dogs welcome; habitat lakes for wildlife; nearby walking trails

On the southern fringes of Yorkshire Dales National Park, Draughton Heights Campsite is a peaceful spot a 10-minute drive (or a one-hour stroll along an old Roman road) from the market town of Skipton. It attracts hiking enthusiasts, who have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to choosing walking trails; however, it's also popular with families. Whether you’re here as a rambler or (especially) with kids, you should appreciate the well-maintained amenities block, a solid structure of Yorkshire stone with separate male and female toilets, showers and baby-changing facilities. Just take note that due to the elevated position, the site can be windy. There is a small additional fee for canine guests, and they must be kept on a lead while on site so as not to spook the sheep in the nearby fields; however, you don’t have far to go to find dog-friendly walks around here. Try walking along the River Wharfe to Bolton Abbey, for example, or climb up Beamsley Beacon, from where you can take in expansive views of the surrounding moors. Three habitat lakes on site ensure a pretty constant stream of animal visitors, from deer to owls and other birds. Open lakes are on site if people want to enter at their own risk; life buoys are for emergency use only. You’re welcome to fire up a barbecue, but as a family site, quiet hours are from 10pm each night. In Skipton, a market takes place four times a week (including Saturday), and there are shops in Addingham and Silsden (10 minutes’ drive for either) for more supplies.

Dog friendly, kid friendly and fire pits allowed, ticked all out boxes.

Disliked: Electric hook up would be useful but this is me being really picky.

Local attractions

Take a ride on the Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway. Bolton Abbey station (10 minutes’ drive) is a recreated 1800s building with a vintage café where you can sample delicious homemade cakes. There is a lively calendar of events at the railway, including afternoon teas, murder mysteries and steam-driving experiences. An Augustinian priory established in the 12th century, Bolton Abbey (15 minutes) now sits in ruins on the River Wharfe, where a series of stepping stones allow you to cross the way workers at the priory used to cross. There is also a bridge for when it’s deemed unsafe to use the stones. The spa town of Ilkley (15 minutes) is overlooked by a vast area of wild moorland, just to the south, which includes features like the Cow and Calf Rocks and the Twelve Apostles Stone Circle. In town, there’s a playground in the Riverside Gardens and a child-friendly nature trail through the Darwin Gardens.
