  • Peaceful family campsite in Yorkshire's pretty Aire Valley
  • A quarter of an hour's drive from Skipton and Saltaire
  • Within a quarter of a mile of bus stops and a railway station
Planning some travels that don’t rely on a car? This could well be the spot – Tip Top Campsite, on the banks of the Aire River, is within a quarter of a mile of public transport options like a railway station and bus stop, making it easy to get out and about exploring nearby places like Skipton, Ilkley and Saltaire. Not that there’s any reason to stray that far if you don’t want to. This site is in a great spot for exploring the surrounding Aire Valley on walks or bike rides – and amenities aren’t far off either. Steeton (a mile away) has a small supermarket, takeaway and restaurant, while the nearby village of Silsden (three quarters of a mile) has cafés, a larger supermarket and access to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal towpath. Staying on site for a while may well be an option, too – river fishing is allowed in the Aire if you've got the correct licence (although landing fish on the steep bank can be difficult), and the grounds are generally a supremely peaceful place to relax. The site is full of greenery, including over 800 willow trees and a small woodland by the beck that meanders through the farm. All of that foliage attracts wildlife, but the site is also home to domesticated animals like Kunekune pigs, geese, bees and hens that visitors are welcome to meet. Because of all the animals, please make sure that you use the designated dog exercise field if you're bringing a four-legged friend. Handily, the site also has two (7kWh) electrical vehicle charging points for guests to use.

What customers say

Great campsite with super friendly owners. Reviews rave about clean facilities, a handy communal barn, and the kids loving the animals. Road noise is mentioned but generally not an issue, with earplugs offered. Easy local access too.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Absolutely beautiful spot, peaceful and calm. Safe for the kids to play and lovely for them to explore the pigs. Facilities were great and I have never seen camping toilets / showers so clean and well stocked with home comforts. Great place for new campers or those travelling with kids.

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Well thought out site, love the extra touches with the fridge/freezers, kettle, toaster and microwave. Toilet and showers were clean and hand soaps etc all there.
The chap that greeted us was very helpful on arrival explaining things and would check if all was ok if he saw me in passing.
Yes you do some road noise but not enough to spoil the weekend.
Thank you for a lovely stay and look forward to going again.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Absolutely amazing campsite! Never camped as a couple before and loved it! Facilities onsite are amazing, clean and up to date. The campsite itself is very looked after and aesthetically pleasing, we even took a visit to the little piggies onsite. They had games available, we played badminton but had other options too such as tennis. The owner was lovely and gave us a tour upon arrival and made us feel very comfortable. At night it’s peaceful, we hired a fire pit and a bag of wood for £10 which was well worth it. The lovely woman came around in the morning for payment so nothing felt rushed. They had free wifi available which had good connection. The kitchen area was great, 3 fridges, a microwave and a kettle. We stored some milk in the fridge. They have eggs available to buy from their own chickens and burgers and sausages available from their own pigs. Highly recommend this campsite and will definitely be returning over the summer!!

Local attractions

Once you’ve thoroughly explored the Aire Valley, there’s plenty more for walkers and cyclists to see over in the Yorkshire Dales National Park (20 minutes’ drive), or with a meander along the towpath of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (five minutes). Or, if you’d like your outdoor time to be filled in a different way, perhaps try the Silsden Golf Driving Range (two minutes). Places for a gentle stroll are plentiful, too – maybe you’d like to wander the grounds of Cliffe Castle Museum and Park (10 minutes) and the gorgeous Bolton Abbey estate (20 minutes) or take a tour through the well-preserved medieval rooms of Skipton Castle (15 minutes). The Italianate architecture of ‘model village’ Saltaire (15 minutes) makes this another lovely place for a day out. For other options, take a trip to Ilkley (15 minutes) to swim in the river and try out its foodie shops, learn about one of the nation’s favourite literary families at Brontë Parsonage Museum (20 minutes) or visit the Royal Pump Museum and have tea at Betty's Tea Rooms in Harrogate (40 minutes).
