  • Peaceful and family-run site next to the Forest of Bowland
  • In a walkers' paradise near the Yorkshire Three Peaks
  • A variety of pre-ordered homemade pizzas on Saturday evenings
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.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Very large open space which was beautifully quiet and serene. Clean and very nice facilities including showers and toilets. Very welcoming owners, would definitely return as location from A65 makes a good stop off if going further north/afield. Good WiFi as well which came in handy.

Camping pod

Liked I was only there for the night and I arrived after 7pm, but my call was answered quickly and the lady attending the site was very helpful, the camping pod was clean and tidy and provided the ideal accomodation for my stay.

The toilet block was exceptionally clean too.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Merch, shop, spacious, beautiful views, lots of toilets and showers, friendly staff, onsite cafe. Would recommend.

Disliked Music was a but much at 7am but it really wasn't a problem at all (toilet/shower block)
Some instructions for the shower would be great. I asked in the end and it was fine but even just a signpost reminder.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked My first time solo and was very apprehensive
Lovely check in and easy to park up
Beautiful showers and fab butty in the morning x
Lovely dog walk and off lead area
Rained heavy in the night so didn't go anywhere

Disliked Nothing all great

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re especially pleased to hear that your first solo trip went so well and that you felt welcome and comfortable from the moment you arrived.

It’s great to hear you enjoyed the showers, your morning butty and our dog walking and off-lead areas too. Such a shame about the heavy rain overnight, but hopefully next time the Yorkshire weather will be a little kinder to you!

We’d love to welcome you and your four-legged companion back to Orcaber Farm again soon.

Kind regards
Orcaber Team

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.
