Walkmill Campsite

10 units · Motorhomes, Tents10 acres · Northumberland, North East England

Refreshingly understated private camping in the unspoiled Northumberland countryside

Stretton House Campsite

40 units · Motorhomes, Tents6 acres · England

If you like the sound of having farm shops and ice cream farms nearby, as well as access to lots of walking and cycling trails, Stretton House Campsite should be a fine pick for you. It has a strict no noise policy after 10pm, meaning that you should get a peaceful night's sleep too. This site is in the grounds of the 400-year-old Stretton House surrounded by the Cheshire countryside with handy transport links nearby and outdoor activities in no short supply… that includes things like alpaca walking, golf or Manley Mere’s watersports haven (a 20-minute drive away for the latter). You’ll have your pick of two fields, both with car parking by the pitch free of charge and dogs allowed. There are basic facilities including a mobile freshwater toilet block with male and female facilities and a water standpipe. You’ll have permission to start up a barbecue or firepit too (subject to the correct safety measures). When you’re ready to get going, the friendly owners will be willing to help out however they can and suggest possible days out, which may include fishing or walking at Pickmere Lake (10 minutes’ drive), visiting an ice cream farm (within 10 minutes’ drive of the site) or going to the local golf course (five minutes’ drive). For food, there’s a farm shop just two minutes’ walk away from the site where you’ll be able to get your hands on local produce. Pubs aren’t far away either – there is one pub five minutes' walk away, and another 15 minutes' walk away. Festival goers are very welcome, and the Creamfields Festival site is five minutes’ drive away. Please respect the quiet hours (no noise is permitted after 10pm) and environment, as the owners' home is on the grounds (and stick to the field's facilities only).

Caravan parks near Hawes guide

Overview

Deep within Yorkshire Dales National Park sits the cosy market town of Hawes. Its reputation as a major producer of Wensleydale cheese is a hallmark of its long history in the dairy industry. Campers can stay near Hawes to explore the natural wonders of Yorkshire Dales, caves and rock formations of Nidderdale AONB, and wide-reaching moorlands and heritage sites of Forest of Bowland AONB. A wealth of accommodations including classic cottages, pitches for tents and caravans, and insulated camping pods are available in the area, many of which provide places for children to play and dogs to roam free.

Where to go

Yorkshire Dales National Park

Hawes is just one of the towns found in Yorkshire Dales National Park, which encompasses over 810 square miles of meadows, waterfalls, and green wilderness. Campers can find other small villages, such as Clapham and Malham, nestled in the shadows of Whernside, Ingleborough, and Pen-y-ghent, a series of mountains known as Three Peaks. Traverse Malham Landscape Trail and Ingleton Waterfalls Circular before exploring the ruins at Bolton Abbey. Dark night skies in Yorkshire Dales make it a prime spot for stargazing. Along with holiday cottages, campers can choose from a variety of camping options for tents and campervans, with easy-access showers and flush toilets.

Nidderdale AONB

Nidderdale, an officially designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, covers about 230 square miles of protected land. Walk, cycle, ride horseback, or make friends with a llama or alpaca along the vast landscape, which includes Brimham Rocks, Hackfall, and How Stean Gorge. From traditional tent and caravan sites to glamping setups, Nidderdale features a variety of campsites, some of which pop up seasonally. On-site holiday parks feature pitches (with and without electrical hookups) for tents and caravans, along with eight insulated camping pods. Campsites have clean washing facilities, flushing toilets, a laundrette, and play forts for children.

Forest of Bowland AONB

Just southwest of Yorkshire Dales, campers will find the diverse landscape of Forest of Bowland, another designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Contrary to the name, the area isn’t a dense woodland, but the moorland, peat bog, and winding rivers are a sight of their own. Take country walks, cycle along paths, and watch native wildlife. Accommodations include private rural retreats, farm stays, and pitches for glamping and camping.

When to go

Hawes’s peak season typically lasts from June to September, with July being the hottest month—average highs are around 18°C. Hawes and its surrounding area have a chance of rain year-round. Winters see an average high of 7°C. However, campers still enjoy the area in the off-season thanks to flat terrain and warm treats in local villages.
