Power optional cement/asphalt campervan campsite

There is only 1 touring pitch on the campsite, making it a peaceful place to stay.

We only take bookings for one pitch, and insist that people are not booking separate pitches, to then come and stay, in order to form a group on site.
Each pitch is divided by a small, recently planted hedge.
The campsite is set in the beautiful Wharfe Valley, near to the River Wharfe, with spectacular scenery all around.
The site has toilets, coin operated shower and washing up facilities.
Please note the site is gently sloping

What customers say

This is an excellent, quiet, and well-maintained campsite with a friendly, attentive owner. Guests rave about spotless facilities, hot showers, and consistent supplies. Private, spacious pitches offer lovely views. The peaceful atmosphere and short walk to Kettlewell's pubs and eateries make it highly recommended.

Power optional grass tent campsite

Liked Really lovely small, quiet, adult only campsite, nestled in the Yorkshire Dales, but only a very short stroll from the village of Kettlewell. Very spacious pitches with mature hedges allowing privacy and shade from the sun if necessary. Brilliant walks on the doorstep without getting in the car. The toilet and washing facilities were adequate. The owner, Sean very helpful and lives on site if you need any assistance. Very prompt at fixing any issues.

Disliked As it's in a rural hilly area the pitches aren't level which campers need to be aware of when booking in case they have mobility issues etc.
Several times the toilet roll ran out...
Could offer WiFi...

Power optional grass tent campsite

Liked Lovely, quiet campsite with only 6 camping pitches. It was lovely to have your own proper space enclosed by the trees. Toilets, shower and washing up area were always spotless. Selection of great pubs just a few minutes walk away! The owner was there to great us and super helpful too.

Disliked Having to watch out for the chickens when cooking ha ha!

Local attractions

Climber or caver? Kilnsey Crag is less than 10 minutes’ drive from the site if you are here to scale some walls, and the underground systems in Wharfedale are about the same distance away for subterranean capers… And, try out fly fishing at Kilnsey Park (10 minutes) too. If you are sticking to strolls, the circular route around the glacial lake at Malham Tarn starts about 45 minutes’ drive away, and a wander up to the waterfalls at Gordale Scar to gaze up at overhanging limestone cliffs, stopping by Malham Cove to take snaps of the odd rock formations, is possible about 35 minutes from the site. For more forays into the countryside, Great Whernside and its fell walks take 10 minutes to reach. Along with the hills, the market towns are also worth visiting in North Yorkshire, like pretty Grassington (15 minutes' drive), where the new All Creatures Great and Small is being filmed, and Skipton, for its castle (25 minutes). Another ancient building to swing by is the 12th-century Augustinian monastery Bolton Priory 40 minutes’ drive away.
