  • Peaceful family-run site in the Yorkshire Dales National Park
  • Within half an hour of the Three Peaks, Malham Cove and Gisburn Forest
  • Fully licensed bar, shop and a popular pizza oven
Got a bike? Get on it and pedal over to Dalesbridge, a cycle-friendly site pretty much at the spot where the Yorkshire Dales meets the Forest of Bowland. Spacious and family-run, it is within half an hour's drive of all three Yorkshire Three Peaks for hikes up Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent. First things first, though, head to the on-site shop to collect some local information and a map of the local area; many walking and cycling routes begin directly from the site. Half an hour’s drive away is the Gisburn Forest, where mountain bikers of all ages, fitness and nerve can pedal a route to suit. The Dales trails and Bowland bike paths aren't the only things to look forward to, as Dalesbridge is a peaceful family site with spectacular scenery in all directions. There’s ample room, a dog-walking area, staff who are happy to help, and most importantly for mountain roamers returning with a thirst, a fully licensed bar (open at certain times). There is also a pizza oven and an on-site shop, where you can stop off for coffee, rolls and pastries at the weekend. Based in Austwick, the site is a 10-minute drive from the historic local market town Settle which has shops and supermarkets. The Settle-Carlisle railway is also a short drive away.

What customers say

Friendly staff, great amenities like clean restrooms and showers, and a welcoming bar with games and pizza are highlights. It's perfect for local walks and attractions. Most guests had a good time, though a few mentioned occasional restroom cleanliness issues during peak times, and some near the A65 heard road noise. The grounds are well-kept, with roomy sites and scenic views.

Powered grass campsite

Liked What a brilliant little campsite!

We stayed here as a group ranging from 72 to 3 years old, with a mixture of tents, campervans and pods — and four dogs, so we really had every base covered! The site was lovely, and the toilets and showers were exceptionally clean.

The pub was fantastic, and the pizzas were absolutely brilliant. The location was also great, with easy access to local caves, swimming waterfalls, villages and plenty of lovely pubs.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and the campsite staff couldn’t have done enough for us. They really went above and beyond to make our stay memorable.

We would definitely go back and would highly recommend this campsite!

Powered gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely location
Site very clean outdoors
Toilet blocks and showers adequate but very busy weekend and should be done more frequently
Cant help the messy ones sadly
Washing up facilities very good
Could do with a designated football area
Very enjoyable stay other than that and as I say I think it was fully booked
Plenty of good walking and on the borders of Forest of Bowland

Disliked Having to leave

Primitive grass campsite

Liked A great stay with greta facilities. I wish we arrived earlier so we could use the bar as it looked wonderful as well as the shop. Everything was laid out very clearly and the facilities were great and cleaned the next morning. The check in staff provided a map and there was plenty of space to pitch. A lovely addition was the dog exercise area that we made plenty of use from. We will definitely be returning.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Easy place to find, quick easy check in, site was equipped with hot showers and the facilities as advertised. Clean tidy grounds. Well laid out etc Location to surrounding areas really good we went to Ingleton trails. Enjoyed our 2 night visit and will be back in the future for sure

Disliked Road noise but knew this beforehand
Toilet/changing area- users should leave it in better condition after they use, I did but everyone doesn’t, It takes a minute or less to use provided squeegee after they use and their muddy dog paws

Local attractions

Starting 10 minutes away, the walk to Ingleton Falls is gentle but rewarding, and even though you’re heading deep down instead of up, the caverns and wild rock formations of Whitescar and Ingleborough caves make for unmissable wanders. For walks with wildlife, make the half-hour trip to Malham Cove, where a pair of nesting peregrine falcons can be spotted in the summer months, alongside resident populations of jackdaws and housemartins. You can climb the massive amphitheatre cliffs of the cove, or follow trails up and around taking in the glacial Malham Tarn and Janet’s Foss waterfall. To see some wildlife at closer quarters, the Settle Falconry Centre (five minutes' drive) has daily displays of flying and feeding and if you feel you’d like to soar through the skies, the Ribble Viaduct section of the Settle-Carlisle Railway makes a fair imitation. If all this outdoor, high altitude stuff has made you peckish, head over to the Wensleydale Creamery (40 minutes) to learn how the famed crumbly cheese is made… and then sample some, but of course.
