About the site


This site is ideal for exploring the Yorkshire Dales, Nidderdale AONB and the Washburn Valley. The working hill farm is situated right on the edge of stunning Thruscross at the higher end of the Washburn Valley. The area is ideal for keen walkers and cyclists with plenty of well-maintained footpaths and tracks. The camping field is spacious and well sheltered, with 20 grass pitches without electric, suitable for tents only and up to six people. Please note that these pitches are slightly sloping. There are also pitches with metered electric measuring 8m x 7m for tents, trailer tents, campervans, caravans and motorhomes. Please note that units, gazebos and cars must all fit within the pitch measurements. For anyone wanting something a little extra, there's a shepherd's hut. The shepherd's hut sleeps up to two people in a comfy double bed and also has an ensuite. The site is perfect if you fancy a quiet rural getaway surrounded by nature. Dogs are welcome with up to two per unit. BBQs are permitted if raised off the ground to protect the grass, and fire pits are available to hire from the farm house.

The camping and touring pitches are open from May to September 22nd. Shepherd's hut is open all year round.
