Weekend Trip to Ewe Love Camping Pods

An amazing stay, amazing location with an even better view! The pods were well equipped and the underfloor heating was amazing. I will definitely be returning. Perfect location for our hike up Blencathra.

Weekend Trip to The Peacock Shepherds Hut

The land and views were absolutely beautiful. It was food for our souls to wake up in the mornings to a Welsh sunrise and be met with some alpacas with our morning coffee. The peacock Shepard's hut was perfect for a glamp getaway and the facilities were more than enough for a warm comfortable stay. The goats were great fun as they just wanted to play and get some fuss. We loved it so much we want to move to the area now.

Weekend Trip to Greenoak Hideout

We had a lovely pre-Christmas stay and would highly recommend! The yurt was beautiful inside, spotless and had all the essentials. The beds were super comfy and the electric blanket helped keep us warm in the night. Mini fridge, small dining area and plenty of blankets for the colder nights. The bathroom facilities were also spotless and we all had fantastic hot showers which were very much appreciated. Kids loved seeing the donkeys in the mornings and there were plenty of outdoor toys for them to play with. We travelled into York both days which was about a 35 minute drive. Nearby towns had plenty of takeaways etc. Would 100% visit again!

2 nights at The Old Vicarage

We loved the log cabin. Took the dogs for a couple of days, the place is lovely. The weather wasn't the best, so after a couple of wet an rainy walks (which the dogs LOVED) we just hunkered down in there. Played games, drank wine, listened to music. Its perfect to hide away for a couple of nights.

2 nights at The Peacock Shepherds Hut

We had 2 amazing nights in the peacock shepherd hut and had lot of fun with all the animals in the farm. The weather was also pretty good so we could walk around and explore the whole farm, we also got a beautiful sunset. Carol and her husband were very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this spot for anyone looking to get off grid for a while.

3 nights at Otter Moss Accommodation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the log cabin, from the great atmosphere to the welcoming and helpful people close by, it was one of nicest glamping experiences. The cabin was such a cozy experience along with the beautiful view right outside of your cabin. If you are looking for some time away to relax or for long walks or even a little boat around the stream Ottermoss is the place to go.

White House Farm Campsite, Wardlow

61 units · Motorhomes, Tents4 acres · Wardlow, England

What a little Derbyshire gem: back to basics Whitehouse Farm Campsite is a simple site in a most scenic setting five minutes’ drive from the pretty village of Tideswell. The site’s central location in the Peak District National Park means it’s a top spot for those who want to ramble or ride bikes – several circular trails leave from Tideswell and the traffic-free Monsal Trail is a five-minute drive away. And there’s plenty more activity if you require it too, as activity centres nearby can sort you out days of horse riding, abseiling, climbing and caving. All this activity isn’t mandatory, of course – this is an equally fine location for days pottering off to local pubs, pigging out on pudding in Bakewell or taking a leisurely stroll around the Chatsworth Estate, 20 minutes away. And if even that’s too much, you’d be welcome to spend some time loafing about on site: there’s heaps of space here, and as facilities have been kept quite minimal (just showers and toilets) there should be a good serving of peace and quiet to go with it all. Guests are welcome to light up a barbecue or campfire for cookouts and keeping warm; Tideswell’s the place for supermarket supplies, and it’s also handily got a fish and chip shop and a couple of pubs for days when your firelighting skills aren't up to much.

Guest facilities on site centre around the Cave Bar, a cool little space built into an exposure of 500-million-year-old sandstone, plus an outdoor terrace for sipping drinks out in the sunshine.

Campsites near Horton in Ribblesdale with horseback riding guide

Overview

A small village set within Yorkshire Dales National Park, Horton in Ribblesdale provides immediate access to some of England’s most gorgeous scenery and thrilling activities. This north Yorkshire town is nestled into the base of Pen-y-ghent—one of the famous Yorkshire Three Peaks. It’s no surprise that downhill mountain biking trails and scenic hiking trails with sweeping views are found all over the town. Plus, campers can stay at a plethora of accommodations right in the park from private stone cottage rentals to off-the-grid farm campsites that serve motorhomes. For a different view, take a short drive to the waterways in nearby Lake District National Park and search for shooting stars in the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Then set up at a lakeside glamping pod or on grassy pitches amidst the trees.

Where to go

Yorkshire Dales National Park

It won’t take campers who are visiting Horton in Ribblesdale any time at all to arrive in Yorkshire Dales National Park—the town sits right in the park. From hilltop views of Pen-y-ghent to Gaping Gill and 2,500 more underground caves to picturesque waterfalls like Cautley Spout—stunning sights and outdoor activities abound here. There are dozens of camping accommodations including private stone cottage rentals, rustic bunkhouses, and heated glamping pods with creature comforts like wifi and fully-equipped kitchens. Looking for a slightly more rustic experience? Try a private farm campsite or campervan pitch that offer full hookups and washroom facilities.

Lake District National Park

The refreshing waters of Wastwater in Lake District National Park are calling all campers. With 16 lakes to choose from, there are many options for swimming, boating, and fishing. After a day on the water, hike around Scafell Pike and book a site at a caravan park that offers full electric hookups and hardstanding pitches. Or find a grassy pitch for tents with picnic tables and laundry facilities. Opt for a little more luxury with a wooden camping pod rental featuring secluded outdoor space and a BBQ.

Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Less than an hour south of Horton in Ribblesdale, the Forest of Bowland AONB serves up excellent walking and cycling trails, wildlife watching, and dark skies for stargazing. Go off-the-grid while still feeling pampered with a lakefront canvas lodge vacation rental with a well-appointed kitchen, private outdoor shower, and hot tub. Other campsites within the area range from pet-friendly glamping pods with king-size beds and TVs to rustic campsites with grassy pitches for tents to public holiday parks that welcome caravans.

When to go

The weather in Horton in Ribblesdale is mild year-round. The shoulder months like April, May, and September are prime choices for quieter campsites and less populated trails. Spring also brings colourful wildflowers in the countryside and migrating bird species that nestle into the forests. While temperatures never fall below freezing in winter, the wet season, which runs from October through January, is still chilly. Cabin camping, caravan camping, and glamping in heated yurts are popular options during this season.
