About the site
This peaceful, music-free site is a tranquil place to watch wildlife in the Yorkshire Dales, located just outside the small market town of Hawes. A great choice for couples, families or groups looking to unwind and reconnect with each other.
There are lovely grass pitches for tent campers which all have space for a fire pit, perfect for achieving that traditional camping experience.
If you'd rather not bring the tent or worry about putting it up, you can hire one of the site's tipis for up to four people and have your glamping option ready when you arrive, but don't forget to bring your own sleeping bags, airbeds or mats for tipi stays.
Dogs are welcome to join for tent camping just please ensure that they are kept on a lead as there are free roaming chickens onsite.
The site also often hosts pizza evenings, plus there is a little shop and every pitch has its own fire pit for evening campfires.

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesMay 2025
Jo and Marc are excellent hosts who made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The site is in a beautiful remote location and is a peaceful place for a traditional camp. The toilets were lovely and clean and so were the showers. No light pollution so lovely dark skies with lots of stars to see. Campfires allowed in the provided fire pits, buy logs and kindling from Jo. Don’t miss out on the amazing homemade pizzas at the weekend they are gorgeous, so is the homemade Rocky Road! Highly recommend.
Perfect!
