  • Scenic, well-equipped park in the Yorkshire Dales National Park
  • Spa, heated pool, gym, sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi on site
  • Coffee lounge and restaurant serving homemade food
You'll want a long, long stay at Long Ashes Park… This spectacular and well-equipped site is in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, where there are weeks' worth of hiking and cycling (including trails directly from the pitch). It also comes with an excellent range of leisure and foodie facilities to keep guests entertained and fuelled for exploring. Set in green countryside a couple of miles away from the North Yorkshire village of Grassington, the site is nicely placed for guests to be as active as they like. Scramble up one – or all – of the Three Peaks, tackle the Dales Way alongside the river Wharf or stride along to local villages like Thorpe and Hebden. If you're a keen cyclist, you could also take to two wheels along the 130-mile Yorkshire Dales Cycleway. Those who prefer to spend the holiday in a more leisurely manner can buy a spa day, facial or body therapy sessions at the Long Ashes Spa or linger for hours in the leisure club's heated pool, sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi (there's an extra charge for this). Handily, there's also a gym at the leisure club. The on-site Gamekeeper's Inn serves homemade lunch or dinner dishes and also hosts speciality nights such as fish Friday and Sunday lunch. If you'd prefer a light bite, the coffee lounge serves sandwiches, baked potatoes and other snacks alongside tea, coffee, soft drinks and wine. The facilities at Long Ashes Park include family bathrooms, each with a large shower, a toilet and a wash basin.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Site was beautiful. Very well maintained.
Good cafe and pub/restaurant
Friendly staff

Pool and spa area was clean and quiet. A real treat after a day walking.

Camping field was spacious and not overcrowded.

Shower/toilet block were individual cabins. Immaculate and warm!
Nicest I’ve ever been to while camping in a tent.

Disliked: Pool was cooler than we’d have liked.

No electric option for tent camping. (Didn’t bother us for a short stay but for longer would’ve been an issue)

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Lovely stay with my family over bank holiday weekend. Couldn’t fault anything about the stay, we were in the camping field. Toilets clean and have heating which is great. Have the option to have breakfast, lunch or tea on site which is handy. Have a pool for children to keep entertained. Location is ideal for walkers, close to Malham and Ingleton which we visited and Grassington is close by, we walked from the campsite. Close to a spa which has a butchers for last min essentials and BBQ bits. Will def be returning and recommending to other people.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: We stayed here at the beginning of the camping season, so it was very quiet at first — just our family on the first day. A few more groups arrived later, but everyone was like-minded and respectful, and the facilities were used really well by all.
The campsite is in a fantastic location — it was so easy to get to everywhere we wanted to explore in the Yorkshire Dales. The staff at the reception and café were all friendly and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable.
They also offer great discounts for campsite guests, such as reduced rates for the spa facilities (swimming pool, sauna, etc.) and hot drinks for just £1.00 — a lovely bonus.
One of our favourite features was the family bathroom. It made shower time super easy, especially with our 5-year-old.
While the campsite is more expensive than some others, we genuinely felt it offered great value for money. We loved every bit of our stay and would definitely love to come back again.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Lovely field, full of wildlife which the littles ones loved, & easy access to the on-site pub/restaurant.
Food was excellent in the Gamekeepers Inn, and the toilets & washup area were new & clean.

Disliked: Camping area was a little quiet and meant we couldn't socailise with any other campers, however we were very early in the season, so would expect this wouldn't be an issue as the warmer months come around.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Very pretty location.
Quiet site.
Clean facilities and large shower/ family toilet cubicle. Even better it was heated.
Great access to pub/ play area/ cafe.
Option of pool/ spa which we didn’t use
Close to convenience shop with good supplies.

Disliked: Not enough trolleys to transport stuff from the car to the pitch. This was problematic when everybody packed away on a Sunday.

No option of electric hook up. No access to communal fridge/ freezer.

Quite expensive for a non electric pitch/ no access to fridge/ freezer ect. No wifi (you can pay for this) No phone signal unless you go to the pub.

Local attractions

Travel two miles to Grassington for a day around its tearooms and shops, then drop into the Grassington National Park Centre for info on what to see and do nearby. Walks leave right from the centre or from the village, including a waterside wander by the River Wharfe to Linton Falls, hikes over Grassington Moors, or a potter around the Grassington Riverside & Woods trail (pick up a leaflet for this at the centre). Grassington is also on the Dales Way, the 80-mile route from Ilkley in West Yorkshire to Bowness-on-Windermere in Cumbria: hardy types can tackle the 13 miles from Grassington to Yockenthwaite, or hike in the other direction on the 16-mile stretch to Ilkley. For cycling, take the Yorkshire Dales Cycleway from Grassington to Ilkley and from there to Bolton Abbey. If you'd much (much) prefer sightseeing and shopping days instead, the market town of Skipton is within 15 minutes' drive and Harrogate is within 50.
