Mooreacres Holiday Park

4. Mooreacres Holiday Park

88km from Grassington · 1 unit · Glamping · England
It’s all rather peaceful out in the South Yorkshire countryside, where Mooreacres resides. This dog-friendly site has a splendid rural setting in Hatfield Woodhouse, and activities around here are along the lines of gorgeous walks and birdwatching in nature reserves or kayaking, paddleboarding and open-water swimming at Hatfield Outdoor Activity Centre 35 minutes’ walk away. If that doesn’t sound just splendid already, the centre of the local village is only around half an hour’s walk away. That means that pubs and takeaways are never too far off. Of course, another, rather attractive option is to rustle together your own barbecue (which are handily permitted on site). There are shops in the village for sourcing cuts of meat, buns and other essential ingredients. For those of you who adore a day spent with your fishing rod and family or friends, the village also has several fishing lakes, all within walking distance of the site. The lakes at Hatfield Moors Nature Reserve are just a little further out (just five minutes’ drive, to be exact) and a scenic place for spying on birdlife, including nightjars. When you fancy a drink or a bite to eat and you want it quickly, the closest pub is just 15 minutes’ walk away (they run a carvery and stone-fired pizza for the foodies among you). Plenty of attractions are easy to access too, including the Yorkshire Wildlife Park (15 minutes) and Boston Park Farm (five minute

(12)
93km from Grassington · 40 units · Tents, Motorhomes · England
If you like the sound of having farm shops and ice cream farms nearby, as well as access to lots of walking and cycling trails, Stretton House Campsite should be a fine pick for you. It has a strict no noise policy after 10pm, meaning that you should get a peaceful night's sleep too. This site is in the grounds of the 400-year-old Stretton House surrounded by the Cheshire countryside with handy transport links nearby and outdoor activities in no short supply… that includes things like alpaca walking, golf or Manley Mere’s watersports haven (a 20-minute drive away for the latter). You’ll have your pick of two fields, both with car parking by the pitch free of charge and dogs allowed. The facilities include separate male and female toilet blocks, pay per use shower block, mobile phone charging facilities, free wifi and chemical toilet disposal and a drinking water standpipe. You’ll have permission to start up a barbecue or firepit too (subject to the correct safety measures). When you’re ready to get going, the friendly owners will be willing to help out however they can and suggest possible days out, which may include fishing or walking at Pickmere Lake (10 minutes’ drive), visiting an ice cream farm (within 10 minutes’ drive of the site) or going to the local golf course (five minutes’ drive). For food, there’s a farm shop just two minutes’ walk away from the site where you’ll be able to get your hands on local produce. Pubs aren’t far away either – there is one pub five minutes' walk away, and another 15 minutes' walk away. Festival goers are very welcome, and the Creamfields Festival site is five minutes’ drive away. Please respect the quiet hours (no noise is permitted after 10pm) and environment, as the owners' home is on the grounds (and stick to the field's facilities only). No waste accepted onsite. All rubbish must be taken home at the end of your stay.

The best farm stays near Grassington guide

Where to go

Yorkshire Dales National Park

Embark on the 39-kilometre circular walk around Yorkshire Three Peaks for sweeping park views, or delight in the rushing waters with a stroll around the waterfalls in Gordale Scar or along the banks of River Wharfe. Yorkshire Dales National Park has it all. Tent and caravan camping are welcome inside the park, and the official Dark Sky Reserve designation makes it a beloved stargazing destination.

Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

From the unique formations of Brimham Rocks to the historic ruins of Fountains Abbey, there’s plenty to see in Nidderdale AONB. Wander the trails of Hackfall for peaceful woodland views, or get energised with a moderate hike on Yorke’s of Bewerley Trail. Stay overnight at lodgings in local villages, or embrace nature with peaceful tent pitches and luxurious glamping stays on-site in the AONB.

Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Home to bumblebees, brown hares, bats, and rare birds, Forest of Bowland AONB is a welcome nature retreat for wildlife and campers alike. Explore the Wildlife Calendar to find watching opportunities in every season, then stay overnight and stargaze in this Dark Skies Discovery Site. Make it a memorable camping trip with glamping pods inside the AONB, or see how the locals live at private farm stays or cosy cottages.

When to go

Camping near Grassington is busiest during summer, when campers flock to Yorkshire for mild weather and inviting outdoor conditions. Those seeking a quieter visit will find plenty to enjoy in autumn, when long days and moderate temperatures are ideal for hiking and exploring. While some cold spells arrive in winter, the clear days offer beautiful views from the peaks in Yorkshire Dales. Heated accommodations, like glamping pods and cabins, offer a cosy retreat during cooler months, as well.
