Join us for a camping weekend on a working farm in Wharfedale, in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales.
This basic campsite is ideally located for walks up the adjoining Simon's Seat hill and you can watch a film of the walk by the BBC . The historic ruins of Bolton Abbey and Barden Tower are nearby, as is the Valley of Desolation (more beautiful than it sounds) and the beautiful market town of Skipton with it's legendary castle is nearby too.
The farm is so picturesque it has been featured on the Channel 5 drama All Creatures Great and Small and even Mr Tumble has filmed on the farm for BBC CBeebies.
Local village pubs The New Inn and Craven Arms do great pub food and are a 20 minute walk away from the farm.
As a working farm facilities are very basic but the beautiful views of the whole valley are breathtaking. Please note this is a functioning farm with machinery, tractors, cows, sheep, dogs & chickens on site.
There is no electrical hook ups and no hard standings . It’s a basic camping field
Dogs are welcome but will need to be kept on a lead and under control at all times.
Campervans and motorhomes are welcome at no additional cost.
