  • Well-maintained and quiet West Yorkshire family site in Ripponden
  • A 20-minute drive to Halifax, and 25 minutes to Hebden Bridge
  • Pubs, takeaways, supermarket and farm shop within five minutes’ walk
Chasing a bit of West Yorkshire peace and quiet, but still wanting lots to do? Riverside Glamping and Caravan Park is a clever spot to consider, as it’s in a peaceful hillside spot on the edge of Ripponden, yet still near sports fields, walking routes and cycling trails – and Leeds and Manchester are both under an hour’s drive away if you’re craving some big-city action (or looking for a quick escape from such). Tucked among the woodland and meadows, well-maintained modern facilities at the site include a communal shower block, washing-up facilities and waste disposal. You can also deal with any dirty clothes at the launderette (five minutes’ walk). Chores sorted, there's all sorts of stuff to do right next door. Play tennis and bowls, and give kids the chance to kick a ball around Mill Fold Park and Playground or watch them practise their moves at the skatepark. Ripponden (five minutes’ walk) is the springboard to walking and mountain-biking routes, and there’s coarse and fly fishing on the River Ryburn for anglers. The village is also well endowed with local supermarkets, a farm shop and a choice of Indian takeaways, pizzerias and homely pubs. Dogs are very welcome at Riverside, by the way, but please clean up after them. This is a quiet site, so you'll also be asked to keep noise levels to a minimum after 10pm.

What customers say

This small, quiet, well-kept site is praised for its great location, a short walk from Ripponden's amenities. Guests rave about the spotless, modern restrooms. Pitches are level & spacious. Friendly owners & riverside setting add to the charm. Signage could be clearer.

Camping pod (adults only)

Liked What a lovely clean and quiet site, shower/toilets very clean and roomy and showers had great pressure and you can adjust the temperature to suit you. We were in a pod for the first time so we weren't expecting a lot but the pod was great and the beds were extremely comfy. Fire pit and table and bench were put to good use. This site is definitely on our list to visit again as we just didn't have enough time to do everything we wanted.

FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Location is bob on, great little town/village in its own right, decent bus services to Halifax, Sowerby Bridge, and Hebden Bridge and I'm sure plenty more.
Great walking directly from site we walked up the Rochdale Road and around Batings Reservoir (dry valley)and back down alongside Ryburn reservoir.
Site owner very helpful.
Even pitches.
Facilities spotlessly clean and well provisioned.

Powered cement/asphalt RV campsite

Liked Very quiet and peaceful. Lovely clean facilities. Good pubs just a few minutes walk away. Other campers seemed friendly, their caravans obviously dont move from the site. There's a little coop that has everything you need 7 minutes walk from the site. I'd stay here again.

Disliked The chippy was shut 🤣🤣

Powered grass campsite

Liked It is a lovely quiet site and just a short walk to Ripponden where there are plenty of places to eat and drink. Great walks along the river right next to site. Really enjoyed our 3 night stay in our tent and the weather was sunny all weekend.

Local attractions

Walkers, get ready to go. Grab your hiking boots and stride out across the Beacon Hill Romulus to see the peaks of former volcanoes, stroll across the dam at Ryburn Reservoir (both five minutes’ drive) or hike up to the landmark Stoodley Pike (35 minutes) to admire Calderdale views from the monument. For a taster of Yorkshire’s industrial past, walks at National Trust-owned Hardcastle Crags (half an hour) take in former cotton mills and workers’ cottages. Keen to be out exploring on two wheels? Cyclists are just as well catered for, so try the looped trails on rugged moorland or head up to Hebden Bridge (25 minutes) and follow the towpath along Rochdale Canal for gentle family bike rides. Keep the kids entertained with immersive experiments and themed activities Eureka! The National Children’s Museum in Halifax (20 minutes), or spend some time browsing unusual boutiques at the monumental 18th-century Piece Hall – it’s also a lively centre for concerts and seasonal events so check to see what’s on before you go.
