  • 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 and water hookups, plus access to a shared toilet block, Elsan point and recycling facilities. Dogs are welcome on site, and have been give 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 two excellent farm shops within a 10-minute drive.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked We just loved this site. The pitches were really well spaced and had absolutely everything - ehu, water hookup, tv aerial (not that we needed ine), WiFi, wood blocks near each pitch to help with levelling (if needed) and even a sturdy stand to lock the bikes to. This was so peaceful and quiet a great place to be.
Toilet facilities were spotless and chem waste disposal points well thought through.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked This is a fantastic site for exploring Malham and surrounds. The pitches are generously sized and well spaced with beautiful views and the toilet and shower facilities were spotlessly clean. The owners were in the process of installing a shower block on the bottom field but we used our bikes to cycle up to the current shower block which was no trouble at all. My only observation was that the two toilets on the bottom field might not be quite enough when the site is full. The welcome pack issued on receipt of booking was an absolute delight - so informative with everything from where to eat, cycle and walk. We just wished we could have stayed longer to make full use of it. Thank you for a delightful stay.

Liked With daughter, who had caravan. So able use of car which I thought necessary to explore.
But if just a chill and walk into nearest village absolutely great.
Internet very good. Toilets in sheds very adequate, pot wash facility clean and plenty hot water.

Disliked Showers very adequate clean and plenty of hot water. Free flowing, but we on bottom field so a bit of a walk up the road to shower facilities.

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).
