  • Family-friendly site in scenic Pennines surroundings
  • Bar on site open Friday and Saturday; firepits and logs for hire
  • Traditional camping experience on the outskirts of Hebden Bridge
Mad about walking? Then you’d be silly to miss out on Aarons Campsite – the Cragg Vale location, between Halifax and Hebden Bridge, is right in the heart of the lush green Pennines, where heading out for a wander can turn into a full-blown hike that ranks up there with the best of them. The secluded family-friendly site, in an area of moors and fields, is within easy reach of local attractions such as the popular tourist town of Hebden Bridge. The surrounding hills and valleys (including Stoodley Pike) have been popular with trekking types for yonks too, whether for strolling along a riverside path, or for following stone causeways marking old packhorse routes. There's great dog-walking terrain in all directions too. It’s all about the relaxing back to basics camping experience here, but just have a chat with the staff and they’ll provide you with portable firepits and wood for your campfire (for a small extra charge) – they also have a larger fixed campfire available for group hire. The easily accessible fields are flat and drained. If you’re out of nosh or fancy leaving the cooking to someone else one evening, the site has a food shack and bar on site open on Fridays and Saturdays, where you can tuck into bacon butties and local brewed ales. But if you’re out in the car on a food mission, be sure to grab some bits for the barbecue and invite some of your newfound friends over for a evening meal.

What customers say

This friendly, back-to-basics campground in a beautiful, remote spot gets rave reviews for its helpful staff and relaxed vibe. Enjoy great views, fire pits, and a popular bar with live music on weekends. Facilities are basic but clean. Some noise from weekend parties, but many found it ideal for a peaceful, affordable escape.

Liked Lovely views and plenty of space to set up in. Loo's were clean.

Disliked Despite the rules, there was a lot of music, especially on the friday night. If that's your thing then it's a lovely place to stay, but we were hoping for a quiet and peaceful campsite.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Loved my stay, site owner was really helpful on the phone when checking in. I was given the option to pitch in a lovely woodland yard that was really lovely and peaceful. Really relaxing pitch to the sounds of nature with the birds and even a field mouse visitor. Basic toilets is all that was needed for my 1 night stay which were clean and easily sign posted to get to. Access to site is very good, although I was only in a mid size SUV bigger vehicles would have no trouble, especially those towing. Bins provided are kept away from any pitches and were easily accessible.

Local attractions

Cragg Vale, a 10-minute drive away, is a top spot to delve into local history and is crammed with independent shops for souvenirs and wallet emptying, from antiques and secondhand books to handmade quality crafts. There's more shopping, along with Victorian streets and a hillside setting, at Hebden Bridge (20 minutes' drive), frequently hailed as one of the best market towns in the UK and Europe. Check out the town events when you're here too, as Hebden Bridge is home to an acclaimed arts festival and the famed Handmade Parade. Hikers can ramble around all sorts of walking havens from here, with the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland both within an hour's drive for weeks' worth of contented tramping about. Or have a highly energetic time closer to home with a clamber up to Stoodley Pike, commemorating the Battle of Waterloo. There are splendid views of green countryside from here, so bring your camera. Brontë buffs might also want to check out the ruined farmhouse Top Withens (45 minutes), said to have been the inspiration for the Earnshaw home in Wuthering Heights. The surrounding moors are sure to have you searching for the nearest bookshop, or perhaps bawling out a certain Kate Bush song from the 70s…
