  • Small, peaceful and traditional site on a working Yorkshire Dales farm
  • A 25-minute drive from Barnard Castle; 10 minutes from bicycle hire
  • Two pubs within walking distance; barbecues permitted
Taking some time out in the Yorkshire Dales National Park? A scoop of peace, a dash of rural scenery and a nice sprinkle of walking trails are some of the ingredients at Pepper Hall Campsite in Arkengarthdale. This small, traditional site has a tasty stay on a working farm in the national park, 25 minutes’ drive away from Barnard Castle. This is a scenic spot with Swaledale sheep and beef cattle surrounding the site and walks straight from the site, either up onto the traditional Grouse moor or down into the valley bottom along the Arkle beck. Cycling is another popular pastime here, as there’s bicycle hire for the dales 10 minutes’ drive away. To get to the site, you’ll have to cross over a shallow ford with a small stream. There’s a private running water supply on site and aside from that, there's a toilet a short walk away from the camping pitches. You also have permission to set up a barbecue. Traditional ales and good food may be your first port of call. Handily, Langthwaite village is well-known for its pub five minutes’ walk away, which was rebuilt after floods and now has some great grub and drinks. There’s another pub 15 minutes’ walk away with a warm welcome and food. There are a couple more cheery towns or villages around, including Reeth (10 minutes’ drive for a shop, playground and museum) and Richmond (a historic town, half an hour away).

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Beautiful rural location with stunning views. Peaceful and away from road noise. Close to 2 pubs (Red Lion for reasonably priced Black Sheep - no food) and The OS (?) did great meals (may be worth booking..). Friendly owners. Great walks from the site. Proper loo with loo roll!

Disliked: Not a dislike as loved having a stream so close ….there is a ford to drive and walk over with stepping stones.

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked: Views and walks lovely, BC pub at top of bank 5/10 mins walk from site is lovely, dog friendly .red lion near site no dogs allowed we had drinks out side.

Disliked: No one to meet and show you were to park ,had to ring but signal not good.signage not good A4 paper stuck to gate,did not like having to try and open gate to let van in field same time as stopping at least 10 or more sheep getting passed in high winds, which lead to a nice dint and scrap on side of van.you also had to cross a ford to get in and out which gave you wet feet and dogs not impressed, there was barn which we found you could walk pass over bottom bridge and no wet feet .Next day farmer tape a square area of field off around us,so we could not use other path. May have a reason for this but no information was given.

Liked: The fabulous location, with great views and wonderful walking, cycling and mountain biking routes in all directions. The facilities are basic, but the pay-off is a quiet campsite in a splendid location away from the crowds. Site owner welcomed us as we arrived and was friendly and helpful.
