  • 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, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. 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 five miles from the market town of Settle on the edge of the national park, Orcaber 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 stream is allocated as a dog walk area on site. Pitches at Orcaber are large, flat and well drained. Facilities include separate ladies' and gents' showers with plenty of hot water; toilets; a freezer with coolbox ice packs, and an info room with details of local attractions, events – and those many local walks. A variety of pre-ordered homemade pizzas are available on Saturday evenings.

What customers say

Orcaber Farm is highly recommended for its spotless facilities, ample pitches, and lovely setting. Guests loved the super clean loos and showers, helpful staff, and well-stocked shop. It's great for families and dogs, with a doggy field and easy walks. Fire pits and on-site grub are a hit. Mostly quiet, though can get a bit lively at peak times. Great value; many will be back.

Raimonda B.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked - Absolutely beautiful setting with stunning views across the countryside
- Very clean shower and toilet blocks
- Friendly, welcoming, and very helpful staff who made us feel at home
- Great dog exercise field right next to the campsite
- Perfect location for exploring – we enjoyed a day trip to a nearby town with lovely walking trails and even the option to visit a cave

This was our second time staying at Orcaber Farm Campsite, and we loved it just as much as the first. The first trip was with friends, and this time it was just our family and dog – both stays were fantastic. It’s such a peaceful, well-kept, and welcoming site, and we always come away feeling relaxed and happy. We will definitely be returning again.

Disliked Honestly, nothing we didn’t like. A few people didn’t keep their dogs on leads as requested, but it wasn’t a problem for us.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us this wonderful review and also sharing your photographs with us. It sounds like you really enjoyed your time with us. We hope to welcome you back for the 3rd time soon.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Theres nothing not to like at Orcaber Camp Site. Toilets and showers were immaculate and extremely clean. The shop on site is very reasonably priced and has anything you could think of. The staff who work on the site were so friendly and happy to help. We hired a fire pit (for free) and you just had to pay for the wood which was extremely well priced. We will definitely be back!

Disliked Nothing!

Liked Cleanliness of bathrooms and washing facilities. Friendly staff and pitches were a good space. Nice area and well kept. Even the 50p charge for the shower was worth the money as it was 10 minutes of good pressure and nice hot water!

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.
