  • 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 neat campsite has big, fully-serviced spots in a quiet country spot with lovely views. Visitors rave about the super clean ablutions, including a new shower block and dog wash. It's praised for its peaceful vibe, dog-friendly extras like a secure field, and great spot for exploring the Yorkshire Dales. A thorough welcome pack and easy self-check-in make it even better.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked We have really enjoyed our stay at Ash keys. In particularly the good sized pitches. Not too close to someone else, but nicely spaced out, fully serviced pitches. The views are stunning, loved watching the cows back and forth for milking, and the dog field is great. Our lurcher particularly loved the abundance of rabbits!!!
The facility’s are also fabulous. Lovely clean showers and toilets. Washing pots area also spotless, with nice welcoming finishing touches with bunting and other bits and bobs. Then your information room, brilliant. Lots of info and places to go, the book and DVD library and even toys to keep the young ones entertained.
I think it’s safe to say you have thought of everything.
We would certainly recommend Ash keys, and will definitely visit again.

 Gaynor A. 5 reviews

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked The size of the pitches are great & you choose where you want to be. It’s an absolute no brainer. The toilet/shower facilities are a 2minute walk from wherever you are pitched & they are very clean. A short walk into the next field & there is a huge dog walking area. The peace & quiet is beautiful. In the welcome room there are dvds, puzzles, books to borrow/swap& there is a pot wash area next door to this.

Disliked We are happy to cook at our caravan not sure about nearest takeaways but the supermarket was about 6miles away. It made no difference to us as we look at things like that beforehand.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Choosing our own pitch all of which are really generous.
There is loads of ‘empty’ space around so it doesn’t feel at all crowded even when fully booked
At times all you can hear is the sound of nature.

Disliked Nothing apart from some hooks near the sinks would be great, thank you 😊

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).
