  • 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.

Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site

Liked: Spacious pitches. Lovely ountryside views. Quirky washroom sheds. Excellent summerhouse information, good disposal and washing up area. Quiet location off a small lane with little traffic. Great little dog field on site. Nice to have TV aerial and water to each pitch. Good WiFi.

Disliked: Grass in the dog field could do with cutting. Impossible not to get feet soaking wet unless you had wellies. Longbwalk from the pitches on the main field to the showers. (Both very minor points.)

Liked: Beautiful, quiet location, view of sunsetting. Just a few miles drive from Malham and Skipton.

Disliked: There were only two showers down by the farmhouse and they were a further distance from the pitches than we’ve ever had on a campsite - not so nice to walk when the weather’s very bad as it was on our first evening.

Super position, clean and level pitches with good survives.

Julie T. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site

Liked: Everything! :-) Pitch size, facilities and distance apart was fantastic. I've never been on a site with so much room between vans before. The welcome pack was extensive, and meant that we already had walks/cycles all planned before we arrived. The showers were a wee walk away, but always clean and empty (even though most pitches were used) - So did not mind the walk. Our dog loved the free dog run field and we loved the doggy pamper shed for muddy dogs after our great walks exploring the countryside. We even got an Indian takeaway delivered to us on the final night! :-)

Disliked: Nothing...

Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site

Liked: Loved the peace and quiet it's a fairly small site with lots of space per pitch. Only the noise of farm animals and birds which was great. Facilities were really clean and stocked. Superb communication from owners. Great location for hiking.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike really. If I had to be picky the grass in the doggie field was a little overgrown so it's hard to find the ball if your dogs not a natural sniffer! Easy pitch set up, level pitches, TV aerial and WiFi with great reception!

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).
