Woodland campsites in North Pennines AONB

·

In the North Pennines AONB, you’ll find 79 forest campsites where the trees close in and the hills roll out. Walk straight from your pitch into ancient woods, spot red squirrels darting along mossy walls, and listen for curlews as the mist lifts each morning. The average price per night hovers around £110, but you’ll find spots from just £25 if you book early. Most sites welcome pets and offer hot showers and proper toilets—handy after a day hiking peat bogs or riding horseback through thick bracken. Campsites like Ewe Love Camping Pods (43 reviews), The Damson Shepherd's Hut (38 reviews), and Moss Side Farm Campsite (30 reviews) top the list for travellers who want a bit of comfort without missing the birdsong and the crunch of leaf-litter underfoot. Rubbish points are usually well-marked; just bring your boots and a sense of adventure.

Our three, brand new wood and canvas yurts are nestled in our private, woodland hotel garden beside the beautiful conservation (SSSI) river of Scandal Beck. Just a short drive from The Lake District, The Yorkshire and Durham Dales as well as The Scottish Border, we are perfectly located for you to explore. The yurts themselves are individually decorated with full size furniture, electricity and double beds. The yurts are all located in the garden of The Black Swan Hotel, Ravenstonedale, a multi award-winning hotel, restaurant and bar; recipient of 2 AA Rosettes as well as AA pub of the year for England 2018/19. As part of your stay in our yurts you will receive a full cooked breakfast and buffet option included in the price for 2 people in our hotel restaurant. We like to think of ourselves as a cosy home from home with a relaxed dining atmosphere throughout. We are very dog friendly in the hotel, restaurant, bar and yurts so please bring your furry family members. Our beautiful woodland is also home to red squirrels (which are seen daily), protected, freshwater crayfish in the river, an otter (seen very infrequently but the nemesis of our ducks), 6 Indian runner ducks, free range chickens and our two cockerels! (Dogs are very welcome but are to be kept on a lead whilst in the woodland itself). We are very dog friendly and charge an additional fee of £15 for 1 dog/ £20 for 2 dogs for an additional cleaning fee and for some dog friendly goodies such as poop bags and treats. The price of this yurt is based on an occupancy of 2 people. Any other people who will be staying on the sofa bed will add a charge of £40 per person per night for breakfast and their stay. All yurts come with electrical battery pack, chargeable lanterns, tea/coffee, homemade biscuits, log burning stoves, towels, full breakfast included from the hotel, an outdoor seating area and access to our outdoor toasty warm woodland shower as well as our very cute, wooden toilet cabin. Hairdryers are available in the hotel for your use.
