  • Peaceful and family-run site next to the Forest of Bowland
  • In a walkers' paradise near the Yorkshire Three Peaks
  • A variety of pre-ordered homemade pizzas on Saturday evenings
These routes are made for walking… Orcaber Caravan and Camping Site is in the Three Peaks area of the Yorkshire Dales National Park for hikes up Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent, and right next to the wanders and strides of the Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Many more walks and footpaths start directly from the site; get a map from the site information office to show you on your way. Based at the village of Austwick and five miles from the market town of Settle on the edge of the national park, Orcaber is a peaceful and family-run site, set among outstanding scenery with horses and sheep grazing in the neighbouring fields. Dogs are welcome (on leads on site at all times please) and a big field with stream is allocated as a dog walk area on site. Pitches at Orcaber are large, flat and well drained. Facilities include separate ladies' and gents' showers with plenty of hot water; toilets; a freezer with coolbox ice packs, and an info room with details of local attractions, events – and those many local walks. A variety of pre-ordered homemade pizzas are available on Saturday evenings.

What customers say

Orcaber Farm's a top pick for its spick-and-span facilities, roomy sites, and prime location. Reviewers rave about the spotless loos and showers, ace staff, and well-stocked shop. Great for families and dogs, with a dedicated run and easy walks. Fire pits and on-site food are a hit. Mostly quiet, but some noise during busy spells. Excellent value, with many keen to return.

Liked Everything. Good clean shower blocks. Plenty of wash facilities, good onsite shop. Excellent location. Would definitely be back in the future and bring the grandkids

Disliked Nothing
To take this site to the next level I would suggest another shower block at the other end of the site and maybe a playpark for the kids

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked Absolutely beautiful site. Spotlessly clean. We stayed in our campervan on the tent pitches. The site was full but everyone had plenty of space. The reception ladies and site manager really friendly. Beautiful walks and the enclosed dog field was such a bonus. We will definitely be back

Disliked Absolutely nothing to dislike

Local attractions

The Three Peaks of Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent in close range are a topping location for walkers – if you're here to hike, see if you can complete the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge to tackle the 24 miles around all three in one day. Orcaber Caravan Camping Site is also near the famed Ingleton Waterfalls Trail for woodland-based walks among spectacular northern scenery, and within easy driving distance of the waterfalls, stalactites and tours of the spectacular White Scar Caves, the longest show cave in the UK. Also recommended by the Orcaber team are the Settle to Carlisle railway line, through 73 miles of spectacular countryside through the Yorkshire Dales and the North Pennines, and passing splendid Ribblehead viaduct. The limestone formation of Malham Cove, a famed Yorkshire Dales beauty spot, is also a popular local spot. Yet more walks, hikes and heaps more spectacular scenery are at the Lake District National Park, about an hour's drive away.
