  • 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.

seth b.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked We liked the fact there was a cafe and also a pub serving food
The Nacho's at the pub were amazing
The toilet and showers were perfect
The pool was great.... Very quiet

Disliked The only criticism would be the cost for swimming
£10 per adult and £5 per kid
You get 4 hours, but who really needs that long
It was £20 for me and two kids,
But it is a nice pool

Probably slightly expensive for camping too, 80 for two nights
But the facilities are great

Recommend to friends Visit again

Very impressive campsite that we would highly recommend.

Lizzy M.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked The facilities... The camping field had a stunning view, the shower units were better than most places I have camped, possibly the best. Actual room to move and felt clean.
Cafe was tasty and reasonably priced and the pool too when you consider you get 4 hours for the price. There are beautiful walks around the site as and beyond.

Disliked The bin was taken from by the washing up station and didn't reappear.
The camping site might also benefit from some recycling bins if possible.

Dan A.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked pub on site, pool on site, cafe on site, quiet site, dark skies, plenty of space in tent field, good facilities, staff were very helpful.

Disliked showers not cleaned often. Toilet roll not refilled through the whole weekend. Not able to drive up to our pitch, had to park in carpark and ferry kit to pitch. This would be a big problem if single with young children for example.

Paul D.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked I thought the place was fantastic, the greeting by staff could not have been more friendly, there was loads of space, could easily find spots not too crowded with other tents. The washing up facilities and toilet/shower block were very good quality, with plenty of hot water on demand. I am a fan of the no cars, much safer for the children who can run around without fear.

Jessica C.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Very clean and tidy area and facilities. Friendly staff. The Cafe has a variety of drinks for a fair price. The pool was fantastic for an extra charge, the kids loved it. There's wild rabbits and ducks walking around the park.

Disliked The ground was quite difficult to work with in some areas. There were bigger rocks ect. That would bend the tent pegs and make it hard to secure the tent. But that's nature and not really a negative just abit annoying.

Recommend to friends Visit again

This one is a must visit for any keen camper!

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Really lovely place, have recommended to all friends and family. We camped here for two nights, tidy well kept field with lots of bunnies running around. Really quiet with lots of space. Toliet and showers were the best we have come across for camping. We had a meal at the pub and breakfast from the cafe, both were really good, value for money and staff were super friendly. We also spent some time in the swimming pool, gym and spa which was a lovely added bonus to our little camping trip.

Disliked Nothing

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.
