  • Scenic, well-equipped park in the Yorkshire Dales National Park
  • Spa, heated pool, gym, sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi on site
  • Coffee lounge and restaurant serving homemade food
You'll want a long, long stay at Long Ashes Park… This spectacular and well-equipped site is in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, where there are weeks' worth of hiking and cycling (including trails directly from the pitch). It also comes with an excellent range of leisure and foodie facilities to keep guests entertained and fuelled for exploring. Set in green countryside a couple of miles away from the North Yorkshire village of Grassington, the site is nicely placed for guests to be as active as they like. Scramble up one – or all – of the Three Peaks, tackle the Dales Way alongside the river Wharf or stride along to local villages like Thorpe and Hebden. If you're a keen cyclist, you could also take to two wheels along the 130-mile Yorkshire Dales Cycleway. Those who prefer to spend the holiday in a more leisurely manner can buy a spa day, facial or body therapy sessions at the Long Ashes Spa or linger for hours in the leisure club's heated pool, sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi (there's an extra charge for this). Handily, there's also a gym at the leisure club. The on-site Gamekeeper's Inn serves homemade lunch or dinner dishes and also hosts speciality nights such as fish Friday and Sunday lunch. If you'd prefer a light bite, the coffee lounge serves sandwiches, baked potatoes and other snacks alongside tea, coffee, soft drinks and wine. The facilities at Long Ashes Park include family bathrooms, each with a large shower, a toilet and a wash basin.

What customers say

Facilities are great, location's a gem for the Dales. Pub, cafe & pool a hit. Only two trolleys for gear can be a squeeze, and a few noted occasional toilet cleanliness issues and limited pool/spa access.

Arisa Y. 1 review

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Lovely, very clean campsite. The toilets and showers were also very clean and well maintained. My children (3 and 6) loved the campsite, swimming pool and the play area outside of the restaurant.

Disliked Not something I disliked but the restaurant gets booked up very quickly (especially for the dinner time). It was recommended to book as early as early as possible.

I couldn't get a good WiFi signal on site.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked great place, really clean, great facilities and great staff. Lots to do locally. We did the malam walk. 5 yr old boy had a great time. Must mention the gentleman on reception who was extremely helpful on our stay giving us recomendations on what to see locally. We will be back!

Disliked only one thing let it down and that was the wifi connection was very weak./

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Lovely pond and views of hills. Loads of bats! We liked the space - the camp fields are great really, flat, great wildlife, the kids loved it. The pub on site was great and very friendly. Nice toilet block (just some shower doors broken!).

Disliked The staff at the reception counter were a bit off with us. They were officious about rules and lack of availability of things (like the pool gets booked up and is well expensive) and generally not welcoming or helpful about the local area, a bit weird. More than made up for by a lovely place. Despite the Pitch Up search function and top line ad saying barbecues allowed, BARBECUES ARE NOT ALLOWED here. They should change this on their advertising and search filter. Gas stoves and fake barbecues etc are allowed but a bit underhanded not making it clear no real charcoal barbecues allowed - you have to scroll right down to read that. The reception staff were happy to point that out. There are several other campsites near here that look ace, we'll be trying them out when we come back to this beautiful area. This is a multi occupancy type site (I.e., cabins, motor homes, camping) lovely and manicured, but maybe a bit prim and officious for our taste. Despite this though there was quite a bit of rubbish previous campers had left in the trees at the bottom which hadn't been cleaned up.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Great location and lovely views from the camping field. Parking close enough to tents. Facilities nice, spacious and clean. Menu for restaurant looked nice, though was closed due to unforeseen circumstances on the day we would have used it sadly. Would stay again, and maybe try the pods and spa.

Disliked Need more trolleys to move belongings from car to tent field as there were only a couple and this was not enough for multiple arrivals and departures.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Beautiful views, bus stop at end of the drive so easy to access further up the dale and into Grassington.

Disliked Unable to take car onto camping field, travelling on my own with children meant this was extra hard work especially in the rain.
Unable to have BBQ
Only 5 bathroom facilities for all campers- shower/toilet/sink all in same room and there was nowhere to put wash bag down other than the floor.
Expensive to use pool and the only option is £10 for adult- this allows access to spa facilities however when you are on your own with a 6 year old I was unable to experience these as needed to be in pool at all times.

Liked Lovely site, really helpful staff, was great to get up and book in to the leisure centre to have a swim and sauna before going in to skipton for the day. The gamekeepers inn on site served amazing food. Only booked for one night initially as it was all it was showing as available but asked at reception and they let us add on another night no issues. Clean facilities and beautiful grounds, would definitely return.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked The calmness, all staff were friendly & helpful, lovely walks in all directions, pub on site was lovely with a small outdoor play area. great location to explore other areas throughout the day. The toilets/shower rooms were immaculate. Didn’t get chance to use the pool/spa or food in the pub but we will definitely be returning and using the pool

Disliked Only 2 trolleys to offload/reload and some campers kept them full with their stuff while building tents so nobody else could use them

Local attractions

Travel two miles to Grassington for a day around its tearooms and shops, then drop into the Grassington National Park Centre for info on what to see and do nearby. Walks leave right from the centre or from the village, including a waterside wander by the River Wharfe to Linton Falls, hikes over Grassington Moors, or a potter around the Grassington Riverside & Woods trail (pick up a leaflet for this at the centre). Grassington is also on the Dales Way, the 80-mile route from Ilkley in West Yorkshire to Bowness-on-Windermere in Cumbria: hardy types can tackle the 13 miles from Grassington to Yockenthwaite, or hike in the other direction on the 16-mile stretch to Ilkley. For cycling, take the Yorkshire Dales Cycleway from Grassington to Ilkley and from there to Bolton Abbey. If you'd much (much) prefer sightseeing and shopping days instead, the market town of Skipton is within 15 minutes' drive and Harrogate is within 50.
