  • Family-friendly, peaceful site near Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire
  • Half an hour’s drive from Gibson Mill and Haworth
  • Direct access to the Pennine Way; other footpaths nearby
Fancy a spot of almost-wild camping on a working family farm in the South Pennines? You’re looking at the right place then, as Ridge Fold Camping is a pop-up campsite surrounded by farm animals and with wonderful scenery on the edge of the Brontë moors. The area is well known for its birds, wildlife and spectacular scenery, with miles of footpaths – including the Pennine Way – to explore, making it the perfect location for walking or mountain biking. Or you can simply kick back amid the wonderful views and enjoy a leisurely break surrounded by nature. Hike up to Hardcastle Crags, 20 minutes’ drive away, or up the activity levels with a moorland yomp to Top Withens (90 minutes’ walk away) to see the inspiration for Emily Brontë’s famous novel ‘Wuthering Heights’. On-site facilities include a ladies and gents’ toilet block, a shower shack and a cold-water bowser for drinking water. Well-behaved dogs are welcome too, but due to the livestock on site, canine chums need to be on a lead at all times.

What customers say

Cosy spot with great views, perfect for a quiet break. Toilets/showers spotless, owners (esp. Jane) super helpful. Good walking access. Site's a bit exposed, phone signal weak. Basic but clean facilities. Fire pits for hire.

Liked The site was pleasant, clean and tidy absolutely perfect lovely area. Spotlessly clean facilities. Jane the owner was lovely, polite, friendly and went the extra mile for you. Pub wasn’t open but that wasn’t a priority.
I would definitely recommend this campsite to everyone, and I look forward to making another visit next season.

Nick P.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked I stayed at Ridge Fold Campsite for just one night and absolutely loved it! The location is peaceful, scenic, and beautifully maintained. My pitch was spacious and well-kept, with plenty of room to relax. The facilities were spotless and clearly well looked after. The owner (Jane) was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. Even though it was a short stay, it was the perfect little escape – quiet at night, with gorgeous views in the morning. I'll definitely be coming back for a longer visit next time!

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Lovely quiet site, nice and clean facilities everything you need for a basic stay with absolutely amazing views. No phone signal at all for me and my partner on Vodafone and o2 but our friend had giff gaff and was fine only because you are so high up and off grid but even more reason to soak up the surroundings.

Local attractions

Mix in some cultural time with a visit to Emily’s study at the Brontë Parsonage Museum (half an hour's drive) in Haworth, and take a tour of the Piece Hall (35 minutes), Halifax’s wonderfully restored Georgian-era cloth hall. You can learn all about West Yorkshire’s former textile industry at Gibson Mill (30 minutes), which produced cotton until 1890. Pick up souvenirs for the folks back home from Boundary Mill outlet store (20 minutes) in Colne, or potter around the indie shops in Skipton (40 minutes), which is also gateway to hikes in the Dales. The art deco Hebden Bridge Picture House (15 minutes) takes care of any rainy days with showings of feel-good films, while a nose around the famous May’s Shop (10 minutes) in Heptonstall is recommended – it’s been run by the same elderly lady for years and is a much-loved local institution.
