Based on a quiet working farm, Shay Gate Farm Campsite looks out over countryside with access to great walks and bike rides. It's a dog and family friendly spot, 20 minutes from Skipton and 30 minutes from the beautiful Forest of Bowland and the Yorkshire Dales National Park. For keen walkers and hikers, the Pennine Way is also only 20 minutes away. Campfires are welcome too, perfect for an evening under the stars!

About Shay Gate Farm Campsite

A family friendly tent campsite where the vibe is simple and back to nature on this working farm. Being by the border, there's lots to see in both Lancashire and Yorkshire. Pitches are grassed, without electric to suit tents, campervans and motorhomes with a maximum of six people per pitch. You can light up a fire in the fire pit or get the BBQ going from your pitch. Walkers are drawn to the Pendle Way (a five minute drive) but there are also local beauty spots such as Pendle Hill and Gisburn Forest to tackle, with a set of walking and cycling routes. A maximum of four dogs are allowed per pitch for an additional cost, just please keep them on the lead.

Shay Gate Farm Campsite is open from 23/05 to 29/09.

A note from the site themselves...

Shay Gate Farm Campsite is a Father, Daughter run Campsite on the Lancashire-Yorkshire border. Our farm has been in our family for 3 generations. Meaning both me and my dad have been extremely lucky to grow up around a wide range of Wildlife and Livestock, as well as in a beautiful setting!

We opened the campsite in 2020 to allow others the opportunity to experience those same things. We try our best to improve the site every year whilst trying to keep it as close to nature as possible for you all to enjoy! :)

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2023

The site was not what I expected, it was much more. The facilities are close by for all camping there, the grass was kept low and healthy. The young lady, who worked day and night to ensure all was well with her guests, was constantly cleaning up and making sure everyone was attended to. Very attentive lady. We only stayed 1 night to try out our new tent and had only just returned from a week away elsewhere. I would recommend this site and we will use it much more often as we are locals.

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2023

Great site with fantastic views. Facilities are basic, but adequate and kept clean. Lots of hot water via the combi boilers located in the trailers. I made the mistake of pitching next to the road, which is 60mph and can be very noisy. Overall good and would recommend.
