Campsites with showers near Alston

·

Camping in Alston means waking up to wild moorland, crisp air, and a hot shower—no muddy mornings here. With over 300 campsites offering showers, you can hike the Pennines, cast a line in the South Tyne, or plunge into a swimming hole, then wash away the day’s grit. Prices start at just £12 a night, and the average camp comes in around £70. Campfires are allowed at most sites, so you can still toast marshmallows after your shower. Travelling with a dog? No problem—pets are welcome at plenty of spots. Locals rate Beirhope Alpacas (86 reviews) for its herd of curious alpacas and quiet hills, Kestrel Lodge Campsite (79 reviews) for big skies and hiking trails, and Walkmill Campsite (43 reviews) for its riverside pitches. Expect solid facilities, easy access to outdoor adventures, and a proper shower at the end of it all.

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.
