Draughton Heights Campsite

View prices & book Last booked one day ago 10 295 reviews

Spacious site in the Yorkshire Dales, a 10-minute drive from Skipton
Bolton Abbey Steam Railway 10 minutes’ drive; Ilkley 15 minutes
Dogs welcome; habitat lakes for wildlife; nearby walking trails

On the southern fringes of Yorkshire Dales National Park, Draughton Heights Campsite is a peaceful spot a 10-minute drive (or a one-hour stroll along an old Roman road) from the market town of Skipton. It attracts hiking enthusiasts, who have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to choosing walking trails; however, it's also popular with families. Whether you’re here as a rambler or (especially) with kids, you should appreciate the well-maintained amenities block, a solid structure of Yorkshire stone with separate male and female toilets, showers and baby-changing facilities. Just take note that due to the elevated position, the site can be windy. There is a small additional fee for canine guests, and they must be kept on a lead while on site so as not to spook the sheep in the nearby fields; however, you don’t have far to go to find dog-friendly walks around here. Try walking along the River Wharfe to Bolton Abbey, for example, or climb up Beamsley Beacon, from where you can take in expansive views of the surrounding moors. Three habitat lakes on site ensure a pretty constant stream of animal visitors, from deer to owls and other birds. Open lakes are on site if people want to enter at their own risk; life buoys are for emergency use only. You’re welcome to fire up a barbecue, but as a family site, quiet hours are from 10pm each night. In Skipton, a market takes place four times a week (including Saturday), and there are shops in Addingham and Silsden (10 minutes’ drive for either) for more supplies.

Unpowered grass tent or campervan site

Liked: I took my partner here for his first camping trip, and we had such a great time despite his flu. The site is super peaceful and really clean, there wasn’t a scrap of rubbish anywhere! You can tell it’s really well looked after.

The views were amazing, and we got to watch a beautiful sunset while enjoying our BBQ. There are bins dotted all over the site, so no long treks in the morning to get rid of rubbish, which was a nice bonus.

The toilet block was warm and had everything we needed. I had a nice hot shower in the morning, which made things feel a bit more luxurious. We noticed the camping pods too—they looked lovely, and we’d definitely think about trying one next time.

Overall, it’s a really pretty site in a great location. It almost felt like wild camping, but with proper toilets and showers! We’ll definitely be back. Hopefully catch it mid week again as there weren’t lots of other campers - we really appreciated how quiet it was.

From the manager: Thankyou for your comments. Im so glad you enjoyed your stay. Hope partner is feeling better. Look forward to seeing you on site again.😊

Liked: Stunning views and plenty of space to pitch meant we could choose our privacy – a real plus with a 7-month-old! This family-friendly campsite is a gem. The immaculate bathrooms were a pleasant surprise, and the owners were so lovely and helpful. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the area. Couldn't fault it, a really happy experience!

Liked: Hands down the best campsite in Yorkshire! I’ve never seen cleaner facilities in my 10 years of camping, And the views are just something else. The site has its own kitchen for campers with a fridge freezer/washing machine/kettle etc.. The owners are absolutely lovely and very accommodating. There’s always someone on hand if you need anything. Draughton heights is a hidden gem! All I can say don’t hesitate just book it you won’t be disappointed! I will be returning very frequently that’s for sure 🙂

Local attractions

Take a ride on the Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway. Bolton Abbey station (10 minutes’ drive) is a recreated 1800s building with a vintage café where you can sample delicious homemade cakes. There is a lively calendar of events at the railway, including afternoon teas, murder mysteries and steam-driving experiences. An Augustinian priory established in the 12th century, Bolton Abbey (15 minutes) now sits in ruins on the River Wharfe, where a series of stepping stones allow you to cross the way workers at the priory used to cross. There is also a bridge for when it’s deemed unsafe to use the stones. The spa town of Ilkley (15 minutes) is overlooked by a vast area of wild moorland, just to the south, which includes features like the Cow and Calf Rocks and the Twelve Apostles Stone Circle. In town, there’s a playground in the Riverside Gardens and a child-friendly nature trail through the Darwin Gardens.
