  • Peaceful Yorkshire Dales site with views of Pen-y-Ghent
  • A 15-minute drive from Settle; steam train rides pass the site
  • Dog-friendly site within walking distance of three country pubs
Well, isn’t this a really rather fine rural setting – on the banks of the River Ribble and within easy rambling distance of restorative pints at one of Horton-in-Ribblesdale’s three country pubs: how fab... Cragg Hill Farm is in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and the views from this peaceful place won’t let you forget that for even a sec. Gaze in one direction and you'll hopefully see Pen-y-Ghent towering over the site; turn the other way and you might just catch a glimpse of the Settle-Carlisle Railway trains wending their way through the scenic surrounds. Settle is a 15-minute drive to the south; as well as being the launch point for train rides, it’s also a good place to source supermarket supplies (or have a swim or a game of golf if you’re shunning such mundanities as shopping). For other days out, it’s recommended you look not much further than roaming around the Yorkshire Dales – although you could also consider hitting the coast at Morecambe, an hour’s drive away, if you’re yearning for a bit of sea air. Back at the farm, life is pretty laidback, with no noisome ents to interfere with the peace, just toilets, hot showers and a washing-up area to keep you and your kit clean.

What customers say

A gem of a site, spacious and tranquil, perfect for the Yorkshire Three Peaks. Reviewers rave about the clean facilities, hot showers and super-friendly staff. While basic, it's well-kept with loads of space. Minor points include the railway line and access road, but most loved it and want to come back.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Well kept campsite, beautiful natural landscape. Clean toilets and individual shower cubicles. Next to a river with easy access to nearby walks! 3 pubs within walking distance as well :) Smooth check in and lots of space. Budget friendly prices, within a short drive to Settle and Ingleton. We really enjoyed our stay here!

Disliked No lights in the toilets so make sure you bring a torch with you when you go!

Disliked Poor instructions given by owner. Rude interaction with a man who did not identify himself. When sat around tent, with chairs and table set up, a man approached us in a vehicle to say ‘put your dog on a lead or leave’. If advertised as a dog friendly campsite it should mention you have to have your dogs staked even when in your own tent area. Also had a terrible experience in the local pub so if wanting a nice pub to walk to I would avoid.

Disliked Toilets and showers very far depending on where you pitch your tent, but this wasn't a negative really

Helen C.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The setting is just beautiful. It’s a quiet, basic site, with oodles of space. The flat camping fields are bounded on one side by the river and the Settle-Carlisle railway on the other. The village of Horton-in-Ribblesdale, including train station, is 15-20 mins walk away. Views of Pen-y-Ghent complete the scene. While we were there, we saw buzzards, wagtails, a goldfinch, and best of all, pairs of swifts chasing each other as they skimmed the grass right in front of our tent. Showers were hot and clean and the toilets nice- don’t be deceived by their slightly shabby exterior appearance! Though there is no WiFi, the 4G signal is brilliant- not a given out in the Dales!

Disliked It would be useful, given this is a non-electric site, to have somewhere to freeze ice packs. A basic map of walking routes from the site on arrival would also have been useful. A bench/ seat in the shower cubicles would have made it much easier to get my feet dry!

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Plenty of space, but then the camp was practically empty

Disliked Not much evidence of recycling provisions.
Ample space available, so there could be a place to exercise dogs rather than have them in the lead all the time.

Will be back next year and be staying longer

Liked Big open spaces, close to the Yorkshire three peaks, basic but clean facilities, friendly host who offered us pub recommendations and directions!

Disliked Nothing the site can help, but worth noting: A working farm so there is noise from the sheep. The train goes past periodically and toots the horn (this was quite late and quite early too!)

I will definitely be returning with the rest of my family.

Local attractions

This is a mighty fine part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park to be based in, as it’s within easy reach of several fab sights. Malham Cove and Malham Tarn, half an hour away by car, combine to make an excellent day’s walk; the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail (25 minutes’ drive) is another that’s worth walking. If it’s not walking weather, get underground at White Scar Cave (20 minutes) or Ingleborough Cave (35 minutes). Not active enough? Those for whom Pen-y-Ghent is not so much scenery as a challenge can set out from the site for the climb to the 694-metre peak. Follow up by scaling slightly taller Ingleborough (also accessible on foot from the farm) and taller-still Whernside (15 minutes’ drive) to tick Yorkshire’s Three Peaks Challenge off your bucket list. You may like a little sit down after all that (or instead…) and a fine place for that is in a seat on the Settle to Carlisle Railway, which you can board at the nearest station a mile away in Horton-in-Ribblesdale. Even if you’re not up for the ride, you may like to take in the view of the Ribblehead Viaduct (15 minutes), famed for many as the route taken by the Hogwarts Express.
