  • Relaxed family-run site on a farm in the Yorkshire Dales
  • A 15-minute drive from Malham Cove, Gordale Scar and Janet's Foss
  • Well-spaced hardstanding pitches with a large dog exercise area
Ash Keys Caravan Park is a family-friendly site in a quiet corner of a family-run 165-acre farm. This peaceful spot is at the southern end of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, half a mile from the teeny hamlet of Eshton and five minutes’ drive from more extensive amenities (pubs, takeaways and small supermarkets) in Gargrave. This is a most handy spot to settle in for outdoor activities: you can take walks or bike rides directly from the park, join nearby major trails like the Pennine Way (three quarters of a mile from the park), Way of the Roses and National Cycle Network Route 68. The fab attractions around Malham (Malham Cove, Janet’s Foss and Gordale Scar) are about a 15-minute drive away. The well-kept pitches here all have electricity, water hookups and grey waste drains. The facilities block houses toilets and showers, a washing-up area and an information hub, and there are also recycling facilities and an Elsan point close by. Dogs are welcome on site and have their own dedicated exercise area where they can have a good run about. Barbecues are also permitted, and perhaps at their finest when graced with good food from one of the three excellent farm shops within a 10-minute drive.

What customers say

This quiet campsite has large, serviced pitches in a beautiful rural spot with great country views. Facilities are always called spotless, modern, and clean, including a great dog wash and secure field. Guests love the peaceful vibe, dark skies for stargazing, and picking their own pitch. It's well-placed for walks and sights. The manager's replies show they're always improving and listen to feedback.

Liked FULLY SERVICED PITCH. QUIET SITE LOVELY TOILETS SHOWERS ETC.

Disliked NEVER SAW ANY REPRESENETIVE FROM THE CARAVAN SITE GRASS NEEDED CUTTING AROUN THE PICHES AND THE PERIMITER WAS SCRUFFY

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your review. I actually had a nice conversation with your wife about buses and how to get to Grassington and about the markets in Skipton. I also said hello to you every day when I walked past your pitch when you were sitting out enjoying the sun- I'm sorry you didn't realise I was the representative of the site. Perhaps you didn't spot the big Ash Keys logo on my jumper and t-shirt.

I only wish the grass did need mowing- we are currently in a drought and the grass hasn't grown for weeks! Our poor cows are not very happy about the situation at all but I'm sorry that you felt it was too long.

Thanks ever so much for taking the time to leave a review, I'm glad you liked the facilities if nothing else!

Yearly visits at least one week needed

Liked The peace! The views! Lovely new shower block kept immaculate with washing up room and information room with books /dvds to borrow or swap.love the fact as long as a pitch is empty you can park there! You are not bothered by the owners but are around at different times of the day incase of problems and very friendly

Local attractions

If you’re not planning lengthy rambles on the long-distance paths, set forth for some of the local highlights instead. Get going in Gargrave (five minutes’ drive) with a waterside walk by the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, then see cascades in action at Linton Falls (20 minutes). Make time for Malham too: a 15-minute drive gets you over to this fab village and its trio of top sights (Malham Cove, Janet’s Foss and Gordale Scar). After that, take an uphill challenge on the mountain paths of Pen-y-Ghent (35 minutes) or head underground to see what’s in store at Ingleborough Cave (40 minutes). Other ways to get about? Perhaps with a day of horse riding from Kilnsey or a rather more laidback trip on the Settle-Carlisle Railway – both are about 20 minutes’ drive away. And if you’ve got tiddlers who’d benefit from staying in one place for a while, there’s plenty to keep them amused among the animals, tractor tours and play areas of Hesketh Farm Park (20 minutes).
