  • 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.

Liked Lovely clean site. Showers blocks/toilets very clean. Great pizzas that you order online and well stocked shop.
Walked to Clapham village which was lovely but beware no footpaths on the country roads

Disliked Nothing really but was really out of the way. Would have been better for us to stay near a bus route but lovely views

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Facilities were outstanding, ground for pitching was perfect, even after all the rain we had, it wasn't muddy at all. Staff were all very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Toilet and shower facilities were lovely and clean, water was lovely and hot and the waterfall shower heads were definitely a bonus! Pizzas on the Saturday night were amazing, one of the best I've had. Great location for both North Yorkshire and South Lakes. Will definitely visit again.

Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked quiet site and very clean facilities

Disliked to walk to the nearest villages you have to cross a busy A road and walk on the road down to the village. When asked if there was a footpath the offer side of the road nobody seemed to know. the first part is clearly sign posted through fields but not clear where to go after the main road.

Recommend to friends Visit again

An outstanding campsite, clean, and well run.

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.
