About the site
Located on a rural, working farm where you can meet the resident animals, which include sheep and cattle, and escape the crowds. It's a 15 minute drive to the village of Malham, which offers traditional pubs (serving food) and the Malham National Park Visitor Centre which offers local guides. The site offers almost wild style camping, with 50 spots for tents and roof tents, each allowing up to six guests. Dogs can join you for your stay too, with one pup permitted per pitch. Evenings can be spent cooking up a BBQ, just please ensure it is raised from the ground. You can source provisions in the village or head to the market town of Settle (20 minute drive) for a wider choice of supermarkets, eateries and pubs.

Literally booked this 10 minutes before leaving to collect a tent we just purchased, arrived and tried the number but no reply, so started to pitch the tent the owners came over introduced herself and was every helpful with places to eat and buy supplies. The site is on top of the hill, we picked a slight dip in the field, which was perfect the views are immense. We picked the wettest and windiest days to stay, but the tent held up well, considering it was our first use of it. Vango Icarus in 28mph winds and heavy consistent rain for those who want to know. The only slightly down side was the wind turbine going all night whoosh whoosh whoosh, but you get used to it. Other than that lovely site, amenities were basic but clean and there were lovely views. Drive to the farm has some rough bits, but nothing the Volvo v50 couldn't handle. Lots of sheep and cows to see.
Welcoming and peaceful
