Peaceful family campsite in Yorkshire's pretty Aire Valley
A quarter of an hour's drive from Skipton and Saltaire
Within a quarter of a mile of bus stops and a railway station

Planning some travels that don’t rely on a car? This could well be the spot – Tip Top Campsite, on the banks of the Aire River, is within a quarter of a mile of public transport options like a railway station and bus stop, making it easy to get out and about exploring nearby places like Skipton, Ilkley and Saltaire. Not that there’s any reason to stray that far if you don’t want to. This site is in a great spot for exploring the surrounding Aire Valley on walks or bike rides – and amenities aren’t far off either. Steeton (a mile away) has a small supermarket, takeaway and restaurant, while the nearby village of Silsden (three quarters of a mile) has cafés, a larger supermarket and access to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal towpath. Staying on site for a while may well be an option, too – river fishing is allowed in the Aire if you've got the correct licence (although landing fish on the steep bank can be difficult), and the grounds are generally a supremely peaceful place to relax. The site is full of greenery, including over 800 willow trees and a small woodland by the beck that meanders through the farm. All of that foliage attracts wildlife, but the site is also home to domesticated animals like Kunekune pigs, geese, bees and hens that visitors are welcome to meet. Because of all the animals, please make sure that you use the designated dog exercise field if you're bringing a four-legged friend. Handily, the site also has two (7kWh) electrical vehicle charging points for guests to use.

Powered grass motorhome site

Liked: Honesty box to pay for wood and burners, a general relaxed vibe on the site where you are treated like an adult. The little pigs on the millenium way are worth 10 stars on their own! Handy being able to walk into Silsden. Facilities were basic but clean and functional. They have a microwave and fridge freezer on site.

Disliked: The road noise is noticeable, if you're bothered by that then this might not be the site for you. Wifi didn't work for me, but I had reasonable mobile signal so no big deal.

Liked: Everything! Kids ranging 8-14 had something to do. Either feeding pigs, chickens or messing around in the shallow stream our kids made a swing on a large tree using our rope and a log found nearby. It was fab! Love the fact that no strangers can wander in as the gate is code operated.
New showers cleaned well, the barn had a fridge, electric kettle, microwave and an electrical extension where we could charge our phones.
The owner very relaxed, nobody intrusive.
Aldi is close by and the beautiful town/village with the stream and ducks in it with plenty of various take aways. We just came back home but had the funfair just opposite the camp all our stay so kids had extra entertainment.
Site offers barbecues, kadai/chimney and wood. Price either £15 or £10 depending on how large a bag of wood you like.
WiFi available. Sometimes eggs/sausages are available too

This was our second time here and will defo come back exploring Brimham Rocks and Malham Cove.

Disliked: Absolutely nothing! Even the weather was perfect!

Local attractions

Once you’ve thoroughly explored the Aire Valley, there’s plenty more for walkers and cyclists to see over in the Yorkshire Dales National Park (20 minutes’ drive), or with a meander along the towpath of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (five minutes). Or, if you’d like your outdoor time to be filled in a different way, perhaps try the Silsden Golf Driving Range (two minutes). Places for a gentle stroll are plentiful, too – maybe you’d like to wander the grounds of Cliffe Castle Museum and Park (10 minutes) and the gorgeous Bolton Abbey estate (20 minutes) or take a tour through the well-preserved medieval rooms of Skipton Castle (15 minutes). The Italianate architecture of ‘model village’ Saltaire (15 minutes) makes this another lovely place for a day out. For other options, take a trip to Ilkley (15 minutes) to swim in the river and try out its foodie shops, learn about one of the nation’s favourite literary families at Brontë Parsonage Museum (20 minutes) or visit the Royal Pump Museum and have tea at Betty's Tea Rooms in Harrogate (40 minutes).
