Both pitch types are suitable for caravans, campervans and motorhomes up to 9m, with many pitches being separated by hornbeam hedging for extra privacy.

The spacious open-plan kitchen is fully equipped with a microwave, fridge, freezer, ceramic hob, coffee machine and cooking utensils and crockery. The living room is complete with a sofa and chair along with a smart TV so you can feel at home and still watch your favourite shows. The lodges have an ensuite shower room with a rainfall shower, toilet and vanity sink. Outside you'll find stunning views from your terrace, with a BBQ and pizza oven, outdoor dining table and chairs and your own private hot tub, perfect for admiring the starry night sky! The lodges are pet free. This is a great stop for tourers looking to park up and explore, or glampers looking for a little extra luxury. The local village play area is just a 15 minute walk away, perfect for keeping the little ones entertained. The site does not have a designated play area and ball games are not permitted on or around the site. If you are wanting to enjoy a spot of al fresco cooking, BBQs are also welcome, as long as they are raised off the ground. However, please note that campfires are not permitted. Dogs are welcome on the touring pitches only with a maximum of two per pitch. There is even a spacious enclosed dog exercise area where your four-legged companions can enjoy some off-lead freedom. Please ensure the site has your vehicle registration number as an ANPR barrier is in place to access the site and lodges.

Walkers will enjoy the challenging Three Peaks Walk, 24.5 miles at once - or a peak each day for three days - it's your choice! Whernside is the highest at 736m, followed by Ingleborough at 723m, and Pen-y-Ghent at 694m.
There are plenty of other strolls and hikes locally too. The nearest valley is Kingsdale, from which you can access Whernside on a long circular walk returning via Swales Moor, or the shorter Kingsdale circuit (10 minutes) which takes in the fantastic limestone scenery with its 'pots' and caves.
A more strenuous walk would be stepping over into Lancashire taking in Gragareth - one of the highest mountains in the area.
The Pennine Bridleway-Yorkshire Dales section can be accessed at Clapham (15 minutes) along a quiet B road. There is also a local trail known as The Crummock Dale Dabs Mountain Bike route from there, while Ingleton is a great base for caving, abseiling, climbing, and other adventure sports.
Around half an hour away, Hawes offers a tour of the Wensleydale Cheese Factory, the cheese that Wallace and Gromit made famous.
