  • Relaxed family-run site on a farm in the Yorkshire Dales
  • A 15-minute drive from Malham Cove, Gordale Scar and Janet's Foss
  • Well-spaced hardstanding pitches with a large dog exercise area
Ash Keys Caravan Park is a family-friendly site in a quiet corner of a family-run 165-acre farm. This peaceful spot is at the southern end of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, half a mile from the teeny hamlet of Eshton and five minutes’ drive from more extensive amenities (pubs, takeaways and small supermarkets) in Gargrave. This is a most handy spot to settle in for outdoor activities: you can take walks or bike rides directly from the park, join nearby major trails like the Pennine Way (three quarters of a mile from the park), Way of the Roses and National Cycle Network Route 68. The fab attractions around Malham (Malham Cove, Janet’s Foss and Gordale Scar) are about a 15-minute drive away. The well-kept pitches here all have electricity and water hookups, plus access to a shared toilet block, Elsan point and recycling facilities. Dogs are welcome on site, and have been give their own dedicated exercise area where they can have a good run about. Barbecues are also permitted, and perhaps at their finest when graced with good food from one of the two excellent farm shops within a 10-minute drive.

What customers say

This tidy, peaceful farm site has roomy, serviced pitches with great country views. Facilities, including cool toilet sheds & a dog wash, are kept spotless. Guests love the handy welcome info & freedom to pick their spot. Showers are a short stroll, but the quiet vibe & Dales access make it a top choice.

Liked This is a small, quite site on a farm. All the pitches are are fully serviced. The toilet facilities are basic, but are kept spotless throughout the day. The pitches are hugh and you spread out, ideal for longer stays. The site is protected from the elements by trees round the parameter. This was appreciated during storm Floris.

Disliked It's a bit of a trek if you want a shower, but the pitches are serviced so using your own facilities for was washing is recommended. Due to the hugh size of the pitches, some will require longer water and waste connections.
I tried the aerial connection provided, but it did not deliver a signal.

Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site

Liked The facilities were clean, we absolutely loved the dog field (so did the dogs and our daughter). Everything was well maintained and had extras with leaflets, dvds, books that you could borrow if you wanted. The site was quiet 🤫 and absolutely gorgeous 😍. Added extra there is also a dog grooming shed if your dog gets a little muddy you can give them a little wash and blow dry yourself no extra cost. This place has it all for a very decent cost.

Disliked There is nothing to write here!

Liked Good sized pitches, well spaced out. Level even though some vans seemed to use levellers. Good space for the dog to run free. Really felt in the middle of nowhere.

Local attractions

If you’re not planning lengthy rambles on the long-distance paths, set forth for some of the local highlights instead. Get going in Gargrave (five minutes’ drive) with a waterside walk by the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, then see cascades in action at Linton Falls (20 minutes). Make time for Malham too: a 15-minute drive gets you over to this fab village and its trio of top sights (Malham Cove, Janet’s Foss and Gordale Scar). After that, take an uphill challenge on the mountain paths of Pen-y-Ghent (35 minutes) or head underground to see what’s in store at Ingleborough Cave (40 minutes). Other ways to get about? Perhaps with a day of horse riding from Kilnsey or a rather more laidback trip on the Settle-Carlisle Railway – both are about 20 minutes’ drive away. And if you’ve got tiddlers who’d benefit from staying in one place for a while, there’s plenty to keep them amused among the animals, tractor tours and play areas of Hesketh Farm Park (20 minutes).
