  • Family-friendly site in scenic Pennines surroundings
  • Bar on site open Friday and Saturday; firepits and logs for hire
  • Traditional camping experience on the outskirts of Hebden Bridge
Mad about walking? Then you’d be silly to miss out on Aarons Campsite – the Cragg Vale location, between Halifax and Hebden Bridge, is right in the heart of the lush green Pennines, where heading out for a wander can turn into a full-blown hike that ranks up there with the best of them. The secluded family-friendly site, in an area of moors and fields, is within easy reach of local attractions such as the popular tourist town of Hebden Bridge. The surrounding hills and valleys (including Stoodley Pike) have been popular with trekking types for yonks too, whether for strolling along a riverside path, or for following stone causeways marking old packhorse routes. There's great dog-walking terrain in all directions too. It’s all about the relaxing back to basics camping experience here, but just have a chat with the staff and they’ll provide you with portable firepits and wood for your campfire (for a small extra charge) – they also have a larger fixed campfire available for group hire. The easily accessible fields are flat and drained. If you’re out of nosh or fancy leaving the cooking to someone else one evening, the site has a food shack and bar on site open on Fridays and Saturdays, where you can tuck into bacon butties and local brewed ales. But if you’re out in the car on a food mission, be sure to grab some bits for the barbecue and invite some of your newfound friends over for a evening meal.

What customers say

This is a well-loved, back-to-basics campsite with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere and stunning rural views. Guests praised the helpful staff, on-site bar with occasional live music and entertainment, and fire pit hire. While facilities are basic, many found them adequate for short stays. Some visitors noted noise issues during busy weekends, and a desire for improved toilet facilities and showers for longer visits. The site is particularly praised for its unique, informal vibe.

Sally P.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Had no idea it was a music festival weekend when we turned x up.........absalutly brilliant, mix of music, from hills billiea to indie and rock......the bar on camp was great, stocked with plenty of drinks......beer garden, and benches of plenty.....was told to pitch where ever there was room, choice of three fields.....there is a cafe style food place beside the bar ....amazing aphmosphere

Disliked The drinks were a bit pricey, 7 quid a double rum and coke. Pitch price a bit much at 25 a night when no showers or EHU. grass of field was fairly long so once it rained feet got soaked portaloos were pretty bad after a few hours.

Liked The location was fantastic. There was a little music festival on. If you wanted to go listen too. Host were very helpful

Disliked Portaloo toilet were awful. Leave the imagination to you. Only one water stand pipe for drinking on the whole of the site. I asked for a quiet area, unfortunately the neighbours were quite loud.

Local attractions

Cragg Vale, a 10-minute drive away, is a top spot to delve into local history and is crammed with independent shops for souvenirs and wallet emptying, from antiques and secondhand books to handmade quality crafts. There's more shopping, along with Victorian streets and a hillside setting, at Hebden Bridge (20 minutes' drive), frequently hailed as one of the best market towns in the UK and Europe. Check out the town events when you're here too, as Hebden Bridge is home to an acclaimed arts festival and the famed Handmade Parade. Hikers can ramble around all sorts of walking havens from here, with the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland both within an hour's drive for weeks' worth of contented tramping about. Or have a highly energetic time closer to home with a clamber up to Stoodley Pike, commemorating the Battle of Waterloo. There are splendid views of green countryside from here, so bring your camera. Brontë buffs might also want to check out the ruined farmhouse Top Withens (45 minutes), said to have been the inspiration for the Earnshaw home in Wuthering Heights. The surrounding moors are sure to have you searching for the nearest bookshop, or perhaps bawling out a certain Kate Bush song from the 70s…
