  • Scenic, well-equipped park in the Yorkshire Dales National Park
  • Spa, heated pool, gym, sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi on site
  • Coffee lounge and restaurant serving homemade food
You'll want a long, long stay at Long Ashes Park… This spectacular and well-equipped site is in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, where there are weeks' worth of hiking and cycling (including trails directly from the pitch). It also comes with an excellent range of leisure and foodie facilities to keep guests entertained and fuelled for exploring. Set in green countryside a couple of miles away from the North Yorkshire village of Grassington, the site is nicely placed for guests to be as active as they like. Scramble up one – or all – of the Three Peaks, tackle the Dales Way alongside the river Wharf or stride along to local villages like Thorpe and Hebden. If you're a keen cyclist, you could also take to two wheels along the 130-mile Yorkshire Dales Cycleway. Those who prefer to spend the holiday in a more leisurely manner can buy a spa day, facial or body therapy sessions at the Long Ashes Spa or linger for hours in the leisure club's heated pool, sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi (there's an extra charge for this). Handily, there's also a gym at the leisure club. The on-site Gamekeeper's Inn serves homemade lunch or dinner dishes and also hosts speciality nights such as fish Friday and Sunday lunch. If you'd prefer a light bite, the coffee lounge serves sandwiches, baked potatoes and other snacks alongside tea, coffee, soft drinks and wine. The facilities at Long Ashes Park include family bathrooms, each with a large shower, a toilet and a wash basin.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked The camp site was tidy and well looked after. Toilets and showers were clean and the showers are hot-as-you-like and powerful. The onsite bar/restaurant was nice (we only had drinks though) and the staff were polite and efficient.

Disliked More a personal dislike and maybe someone else’s positive but the location is remote with only one restaurant within walking distance and it is a 20min drive to Skipton where there was more of a selection for dining out in the area.

As noted in other reviews, you have to unpack at the carpark and shift your camping equipment between 20-100m to your chosen/available camping spot. The trollies are available but it does require other campers returning them and we only saw 1, at any one time, ready to be used. When we arrived there wasn’t any available so we carried the camping equipment ourselves which thankfully wasn’t too much of a problem for us (small tent, 2 chairs, 2 roll mats, 2 sleeping backs etc).

Other campers were a little loud in the morning chatting from 6ish but this was obviously them being the problem and we weren’t going to make a fuss about it as we were only there for the one night.

The above are all minor dislikes and did not disrupt our overall view of a well run, tidy, clean and value-for-money camping location.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Great pitches, a lot of flat ground to choose from and the car park being separate was great especially being that they provided trolleys to get your gear to your pitch. Food from the cafe was delicious and coffee was good too. Was nice that my husband who signed us in was greeted in the morning by his name too a really personal touch!

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked It was our first time camping so with us not living far from here we gave this a try. Literally bought a tent at 11am from Go Outdoors in York on Saturday and had it pitched here by 4pm haha.
Great facilities

Disliked I would have liked to be able to park the car next to the tent but I guess I should have read into more detail beforehand.

Local attractions

Travel two miles to Grassington for a day around its tearooms and shops, then drop into the Grassington National Park Centre for info on what to see and do nearby. Walks leave right from the centre or from the village, including a waterside wander by the River Wharfe to Linton Falls, hikes over Grassington Moors, or a potter around the Grassington Riverside & Woods trail (pick up a leaflet for this at the centre). Grassington is also on the Dales Way, the 80-mile route from Ilkley in West Yorkshire to Bowness-on-Windermere in Cumbria: hardy types can tackle the 13 miles from Grassington to Yockenthwaite, or hike in the other direction on the 16-mile stretch to Ilkley. For cycling, take the Yorkshire Dales Cycleway from Grassington to Ilkley and from there to Bolton Abbey. If you'd much (much) prefer sightseeing and shopping days instead, the market town of Skipton is within 15 minutes' drive and Harrogate is within 50.
