  • 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 is a top-rated campsite praised for spotless facilities, roomy spots, and stunning views. Staff are friendly, the shop well-stocked. It's great for families and dogs, with a dog field and nearby trails. Fire pits and food on-site are a hit. Mostly quiet, but some noise during busy periods. Excellent value, with many planning a return visit.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked As I was non electric I could park up anywhere on the field, there were no marked pitches which I like.
The toilets and showers have to be the cleanest I have ever seen.
Takeaway pizzas and burgers on the Saturday evening was so good, so you skip the extra pots for washing.
There were also picnic tables/benches available.
And as a solo female I felt really safe.

Liked This is our second time staying at this Campsite and once again we had a brilliant time! Everywhere is immaculately clean and outdoor spaces very neat and tidy. The people who run the site are friendly and work hard to keep the site looking so good. Enjoyed seeing Gary and Enid again. We will definately be back, looking forward to it.

Maria G.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked In a camper-van, but without services. Close to the shower block which was pristine. In low season so v quiet - only a handful in the tent field. Appreciated that we could hire a fire pit, which is brought to the pitch if required. Cant fault the facilities & the backdrop is beautiful! Loved looking out at the surrounding scenery whilst we were there.

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.
