  • Family-friendly site in scenic Pennines surroundings
  • Bar on site open Friday and Saturday; firepits and logs for hire
  • Traditional camping experience on the outskirts of Hebden Bridge
Mad about walking? Then you’d be silly to miss out on Aarons Campsite – the Cragg Vale location, between Halifax and Hebden Bridge, is right in the heart of the lush green Pennines, where heading out for a wander can turn into a full-blown hike that ranks up there with the best of them. The secluded family-friendly site, in an area of moors and fields, is within easy reach of local attractions such as the popular tourist town of Hebden Bridge. The surrounding hills and valleys (including Stoodley Pike) have been popular with trekking types for yonks too, whether for strolling along a riverside path, or for following stone causeways marking old packhorse routes. There's great dog-walking terrain in all directions too. It’s all about the relaxing back to basics camping experience here, but just have a chat with the staff and they’ll provide you with portable firepits and wood for your campfire (for a small extra charge) – they also have a larger fixed campfire available for group hire. The easily accessible fields are flat and drained. If you’re out of nosh or fancy leaving the cooking to someone else one evening, the site has a food shack and bar on site open on Fridays and Saturdays, where you can tuck into bacon butties and local brewed ales. But if you’re out in the car on a food mission, be sure to grab some bits for the barbecue and invite some of your newfound friends over for a evening meal.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked This was the best site we have been on yet. The walk to the toilets and bar/ food shack was through a Forrest walkway which was a lovely touch. There are also porterloos around the campsite so you don’t need to walk far during the night. The bar was great. It had a lovely vibe to it and you can actually book it out for party’s ect and then camp on the night after. There was a party in the “party barn” when we were there and it looked great. I like that this campsite allows big groups and has this option at the bar which is open until 12am and you can even wind down and play music in the seating area outside of the bar until 1am. We didn’t try the food but there was burritos the night we were there which looked lovely! We also spoke with the owner Oggie who was a lovely man. Will defiantly be back! Great site.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Beautiful campsite. Quiet, peaceful. Friendly owner and staff and an amazing open-mic event at the bar every Friday. Close to Hebden Bridge which is one of the best rural Yorkshire towns you can visit.

Nice one night tent stay as moving on daily for a weeks road trip..

Joe C.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Rustic wild west feeling campsite, remote and quiet. Very chilled and relaxed campsite. Not full of rules and notice boards like a lot of campsites can be.

Disliked The toilets need a bit of a clean and dust. None of the door locks work on them and there was no hand soap.

The pitch had a bag of litter on it when I arrived, which no one had removed.

Excellent in every aspect. Can’t find any faults and will be back .

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Good reasonably priced spot to stay while visiting friends in Hebden Bridge - 15 minutes drive away. We only stayed a night but rustic toilet/ sink facilities were clean and it was quiet (midweek). The owner also helpfully advised us on an easier slightly longer route to take up the hill in our campervan ...

Would recommend to anyone with smaller motorhomes and tents.

Local attractions

Cragg Vale, a 10-minute drive away, is a top spot to delve into local history and is crammed with independent shops for souvenirs and wallet emptying, from antiques and secondhand books to handmade quality crafts. There's more shopping, along with Victorian streets and a hillside setting, at Hebden Bridge (20 minutes' drive), frequently hailed as one of the best market towns in the UK and Europe. Check out the town events when you're here too, as Hebden Bridge is home to an acclaimed arts festival and the famed Handmade Parade. Hikers can ramble around all sorts of walking havens from here, with the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland both within an hour's drive for weeks' worth of contented tramping about. Or have a highly energetic time closer to home with a clamber up to Stoodley Pike, commemorating the Battle of Waterloo. There are splendid views of green countryside from here, so bring your camera. Brontë buffs might also want to check out the ruined farmhouse Top Withens (45 minutes), said to have been the inspiration for the Earnshaw home in Wuthering Heights. The surrounding moors are sure to have you searching for the nearest bookshop, or perhaps bawling out a certain Kate Bush song from the 70s…
