Dog-friendly camping in North Pennines AONB

North Pennines AONB delivers if you’re after pet-friendly camping. With over 340 places that welcome dogs, you’ll find everything from grassy pitches to sheltered spots tucked behind dry stone walls. Showers, toilets, and dog-friendly facilities come standard at most sites. Hikers and climbers can set off straight from camp—think rolling moorland, limestone pavements, and rugged fells. Wildlife-watchers spot red squirrels and curlews on early morning walks. For top picks, Kestrel Lodge Campsite (79 reviews), The Old Chapel Campsite (58 reviews), and Ewe Love Camping Pods (43 reviews) all get high marks from other campers. Average per night is around £50, but you can find pitches from as low as £12. Just remember, pack for unpredictable weather and keep your dog on a lead where livestock graze.

Weekend Trip to Malhamdale Glamping

Great directions from the host to this site. Well located with beautiful views towards Malham Cove and handy that there is a farm shop with cafe on site - great breakfast baps! Spotlessly clean and well-equipped glamping pods (4) with outside picnic tables and fire pit/BBQ. Comfortable bed and sofa. All added up to an excellent, relaxing stay.
