Weekend Trip to Camping at Cardewlees

Just returning from our first visit to Cardewlees and we could not of asked for a better stay. Cardewlees is an absolute little gem of a campsite and Johnny could not have been a better host if he tried. Toilet and showering facilities were more than adequate and the water was always nice and warm. Thank you for a perfect stay and we look forward to coming back soon. Ally and Lee x

Staying in the yurt was the perfect way to end our Snowdon adventure – warm, cozy, and full of character. After a day of climbing, it felt amazing to relax in such a unique place, surrounded by nature and good vibes.

Really friendly greeting from the owner and the pitch was excellent.

A still-thriving market takes place four times a week and the town provides essential amenities, rainy-day activities, outdoors shops and pubs. But more than that; Skipton has a charm all of its own and a history that's well-worth exploring. With a 900-year-old castle and enviable canalside position, it's a popular place with visitors and holidaymakers and there are plenty of camping and glamping sites in the area. As always, only the very best have made it onto our list...
