These routes are made for walking… Orcaber Caravan and Camping Site is in the Three Peaks area of the Yorkshire Dales National Park for hikes up Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent, and right next to the wanders and strides of the Forest of Bowland, a National Landscape. Many more walks and footpaths start directly from the site; get a map from the site information office to show you on your way. Based at the village of Austwick and a 10-minute drive from the market town of Settle, the site is a peaceful and family-run site set among outstanding scenery, with horses and sheep grazing in the neighbouring fields. Dogs are welcome (on leads on site at all times, please), and a big field with a stream is allocated as a dog walk area on site. Pitches at Orcaber Caravan and Camping Site are large, flat and well-drained. Facilities include separate ladies' and gents' showers with plenty of hot water; toilets; a freezer for ice packs, and an info room with details of local attractions, events and those many local walks. A variety of homemade pizzas are available on Saturday evenings from 5pm to 8.30pm from April to early September; these can be pre-ordered from seven days before.

Liked The facilities were amazing! Always clean.
We ordered the pizza and burger in Saturday and tasted amazing and went down a treat with all specially after a long day out.
We also had a camp fire and purchased wood.

Disliked Nothing we really enjoyed ourselves and already looking at next year

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Friendly staff, beey excellent facilities, and a brilliant atmosphere. The views were incredible and the pitches were massive. The place is dog feiendly and there's a football pitch and dog run. We're definitely going to book again.

Disliked The only thing i can say here is that there's no club house/bar. But there's a pub a short walk away. And it does food too.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and loved the views, spacious pitches and facilities. It’s great to hear you made the most of the dog field and football pitch too, and that you enjoyed the friendly atmosphere on site.

While we don’t have a clubhouse or bar, we’re lucky to have some lovely pubs nearby, so it’s great to hear you found one within a short walk that also serves food.

Thank you again for your kind words, and we’re absolutely delighted to hear you’re planning to book again. We look forward to welcoming you back to Orcaber Farm

Liked Nice spacious site with exceptional toilet/shower/washing facilities. Lovely views and camping community vibe. Handy small shop with a variety of handy essentials. Firepits with ample wood can be bought which I, and numerous others around the site, enjoyed. Very friendly host and maintenance guy on the site. Really enjoyed our time here, thank you.

Liked Beautiful campsite. Fantastic location with stunning views, close to Settle main town, Skipton and Malham, offering fantastic walks and scenery. The campsite was extremely well kept and it offered everything from log fires to a coffee machine with the added bonus of a freezer for your ice blocks. I would highly recommend this campsite, we will be back for sure.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked The pitch was great. It had its own drain and a bench that we could sit on and play games/eat. It was also only a short walk to the toilets/shower block and the shop. The staff are all absolutely lovely. Not got a simple complaint about them. The toilets and showers are also absolutely spotless. The shop has everything you could want and there’s an information room with a coffee machine which was a great addition! We’ve been here 3 times now and it’s never failed us.

Disliked Our pitch was under a huge tree so it blocked most of the sunlight on a really nice day. We were sat in the shade for most of it. The location is good, in that it’s a beautiful area with nice scenic walks but not so good that if you have a campervan that you don’t want to drive once it’s all set up, you’re pretty stuck there. The pub in the local village was shut for 2 days while we were there so we had to walk for 2 hours to get into Settle. Other than scenic walks there’s not a lot to do, which isn’t a major negative, just depends on what you like to do. For us this wasn’t too bad, we enjoyed the walk.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your fantastic review and for visiting us for the third time! It’s wonderful to hear how much you enjoy staying with us and that you loved your pitch, the spotless facilities, our shop and the information room and coffee machine.

Thank you again for your continued support. We look forward to welcoming you back for visit number four!

Local attractions

The Three Peaks of Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent in close range are a topping location for walkers – if you're here to hike, see if you can complete the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge to tackle the 24 miles around all three in one day. Orcaber Caravan Camping Site is also near the famed Ingleton Waterfalls Trail for woodland-based walks among spectacular northern scenery, and within easy driving distance of the waterfalls, stalactites and tours of the spectacular White Scar Caves, the longest show cave in the UK. Also recommended by the Orcaber team are the Settle to Carlisle railway line, through 73 miles of spectacular countryside through the Yorkshire Dales and the North Pennines, and passing splendid Ribblehead viaduct. The limestone formation of Malham Cove, a famed Yorkshire Dales beauty spot, is also a popular local spot. Yet more walks, hikes and heaps more spectacular scenery are at the Lake District National Park, about an hour's drive away.
