Back-to-basics rural site in the stunningly scenic Yorkshire Dales
A 15-minute drive from Hawes and the Wensleydale Creamery
Dog-friendly spot with firepits, clean toilets and hot showers

Those who believe back-to-basics doesn’t have to mean entirely no frills will feel vindicated at Stablefell Holidays, a family-friendly site 15 minutes’ drive from the Yorkshire town of Hawes that marries basic stays with the comfort of cosy facilities. Deep in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this scenic spot makes a fab base for nature-filled stays – it's a wildlife haven, about a mile from Lake Semerwater and the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust’s nature reserve. The former will keep guests busy with watersports (canoeing, sailing, windsurfing and fishing) while the latter will have guests looking to the skies in the hopes of spotting oystercatchers, snipe and whooper swans. The site is dog-friendly too (as long as dogs are kept on a lead), so it’s a good thing that there’s a wealth of lengthy wanders and hikes starting from base, including setting off across fields to the lake, following the River Bain as far as Bainbridge village, and wandering the valleys of Raydale and Wensleydale. If more of a laidback break is called for, that’s handily sorted too: the site is car free – wheelbarrows are available for bringing kit and caboodle from car park to pitch – so peace is not easily disturbed. You'll also be free from the sound of pinging gadgets too, as there's no wifi or mobile phone reception at this site (a bonus for many folk seeking a break from the constant communication of modern life…) Each pitch comes equipped with a firepit for cosy evenings next to an open fire, and the clean facilities and hot showers will ensure guests feel fresh at all times.

Benjamin H. Sept 2023

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: All the facilities were really clean and well set out. The bathrooms/ showers were modern and were always stocked with toilet roll ext. The pitch was quite large and more than fit our tent and outside area things, to be fair we could have fit 3 of our tents on it and still had plenty of room. The Views from the field were amazing and right in the middle of the Yorkshire dales. It was secluded so quiet and serene, however not to far from a pub or a shop in Bainbridge or hawes. The owner Jo was very welcoming and always was friendly to talk to and opened the little shop every day for a short while for us to buy things such as fire wood and s’mores ingredients. There was loads of animals around the site either such as goats and chickens who added to the atmosphere of it all.

Disliked: Literally only one thing that was a minor issue was that when we got there we were unsure where to pitch up as the owners weren’t. However we did find the sheet where the location of our pitch was stapled up on the notice board.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Peaceful campsite in idyllic countryside. Pitched up close to a derelict barn and fortunate to see barn owls. Very clean facilities, including toilet and shower facilities. Pizza made on-site was delicious; opportunity to buy coffee and croissants for the following morning.

Disliked: No electric points on site. Would be useful for those bringing an electric charger for the mattress.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Great sized pitch with a camp fire. The quality of the wood for the fire is excellent. New shower/toilet block is a good size with no queuing and very clean. The choice of pizzas on Saturdays is a great idea as not everyone wants to cook, plus morning croissants and coffee on offer if people wanted. Altogether, a really well run campsite with friendly owners who have clearly thought about what families want from a camp site. Also, nice and quiet after 9.30pm

Disliked: Nothing

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Loved everything about this site. Spacious pitches, clean, modern facilities, built in fire pits, friendly owners, even a little shop for those ‘forgotten’ items. You can order pizzas and breakfast items. There’s no phone signal or wifi which is a peaceful bonus.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Really friendly people, welcoming and large pitches. I loved the fact there was no wifi or phone coverage - it made it very relaxing. Lovely to have some kids playing, and also good for the 9:30pm quiet time. A really good location for walking.

Local attractions

Start stays with explores of nearby Hawes, a small town 15 minutes’ drive from the site. This is among Yorkshire’s most well-known spots, home not only to the Dales Countryside Museum, but the Wensleydale Creamery as well, where visitors can take part in tours and demonstrations, and catch up on the exploits of the man-and-dog duo that made Wensleydale cheese so famous. Not much into cheese? Sample other flavours at the town’s Raydale Preserves. For a taste of history, there’s no need to travel all that far either. The site’s just 30 minutes from the 14th-century Bolton Castle and its bird of prey displays, archery demonstrations, wild boar feeding, and castle and garden tours. Slightly further afield are the follies of the Forbidden Corner, the remains of Middleham Castle (Richard III’s childhood home), and the ruined Jervaulx Abbey, all within 40 minutes of base. To experience the Dales’ natural landscape, spend some time outdoors with pilgrimages to Aysgarth Falls (20 minutes), or dive below the surface at White Scar Cave (40 minutes) – the UK’s longest show cave – and Ingleborough Cave (55 minutes). Prefer to spend some time away from the countryside instead? It’s 50 minutes from base to the large market town of Richmond for a day among its museums, castle, falls and art gallery.
