  • Peaceful and family-run site next to the Forest of Bowland
  • In a walkers' paradise near the Yorkshire Three Peaks
  • A variety of pre-ordered homemade pizzas on Saturday evenings
These routes are made for walking… Orcaber Caravan and Camping Site is in the Three Peaks area of the Yorkshire Dales National Park for hikes up Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent, and right next to the wanders and strides of the Forest of Bowland, a National Landscape. Many more walks and footpaths start directly from the site; get a map from the site information office to show you on your way. Based at the village of Austwick and a 10-minute drive from the market town of Settle, the site is a peaceful and family-run site set among outstanding scenery, with horses and sheep grazing in the neighbouring fields. Dogs are welcome (on leads on site at all times, please), and a big field with a stream is allocated as a dog walk area on site. Pitches at Orcaber Caravan and Camping Site are large, flat and well-drained. Facilities include separate ladies' and gents' showers with plenty of hot water; toilets; a freezer for ice packs, and an info room with details of local attractions, events and those many local walks. A variety of homemade pizzas are available on Saturday evenings from 5pm to 8.30pm from April to early September; these can be pre-ordered from seven days before.

What customers say

Campers love the spotless facilities, lekker staff, and gorgeous views. Pitches are roomy and flat. Fire pits and a well-stocked shop are a bonus. Showers are clean and decent value. It's a great spot for dogs. Minor gripes about noise and distances, but most want to return.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Very spacious pitch. Clean facilities and handy little shop

Disliked Very large site with large tented area and not enough showers at peak times. Multiple hired fire pits in use in evening making the site extremely smoky and unpleasant aroma
Wi-Fi was a little slow and buffering. .

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Really good vibe. Everyone kept themselves to themselves which was good as a solo camper.
Lots of space between pitches
Showers, toilet and washing up facilities were really good as well

Disliked I think I was over charged in the shop for a few things but didn't realise until afterwards when I went back in the shop that the prices on the shelves were different to what I had been charged.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Great campsite, 100% recommend.

Camping pod

Liked Love this campsite, we’ve been to the pods before and cannot fault them. The site is always spotless with great facilities and a great vibe. Everything you need with a friendly service.
We find the secure dog field helpful too.
Side note: buy the magic fire dust from the shop - I’m 35 years old and it might be the best £2.50 I’ve ever spent :’)

Disliked nothing.

Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Stayed in the Electric tent pitch, the site was surrounded by lovely scenery of the Yorkshire Dales, and very well kept site, with good facilities, which were spotless. We had 3 little dogs with us, and it was a very dog friendly site. Spacious pitches and wonderful scenery, and you can hire a fire pitch and buy logs for a campfire. It has a small shop onsite. We didn't stay over the weekend, so didn't get to try the food available onsite.

Disliked in Block 2 - i was in the shower when the lights turned off halfway through - i had to shower and dress by torch until someone came in about 10 minutes later and triggered the sensor again.

Local attractions

The Three Peaks of Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent in close range are a topping location for walkers – if you're here to hike, see if you can complete the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge to tackle the 24 miles around all three in one day. Orcaber Caravan Camping Site is also near the famed Ingleton Waterfalls Trail for woodland-based walks among spectacular northern scenery, and within easy driving distance of the waterfalls, stalactites and tours of the spectacular White Scar Caves, the longest show cave in the UK. Also recommended by the Orcaber team are the Settle to Carlisle railway line, through 73 miles of spectacular countryside through the Yorkshire Dales and the North Pennines, and passing splendid Ribblehead viaduct. The limestone formation of Malham Cove, a famed Yorkshire Dales beauty spot, is also a popular local spot. Yet more walks, hikes and heaps more spectacular scenery are at the Lake District National Park, about an hour's drive away.
