  • Small quiet family-run site on a hill farm in the Yorkshire Dales
  • Top spot for the Yorkshire Three Peaks with direct access to trails
  • Cooked breakfasts, packed lunches and homemade cake sold on site
Three peaks before breakfast? That might not be possible (let alone pleasant) but the paths to two of the famed Yorkshire Three Peaks start less than five minutes' drive away from this quiet site on a family-run hill farm in the Yorkshire Dales. Philpin Farm is a 10-minute drive from Ingleton and the Ribblehead Viaduct, on the route of the Settle-Carlisle Railway. The site is small and two-tiered, with accommodation areas at the bottom and top of a small hill (the car park is near the top area as no cars are allowed on the field). The farm's barn is available for eating and mingling in, and it's home to a snack bar on weekends; you can also order cooked breakfasts and packed lunches, buy homemade cakes, even socks, gloves, hats and rain ponchos if you've come under-prepared. The barn also has vending machines that are open 24 hours per day, so that's your midnight snack sorted. Barbecues are allowed on site if raised off the ground (strictly no fires). The only other strict rule is the farm's no-noise policy at night: please let everyone savour the peace of this very special place. There's a welcoming 17th-century inn five minutes' walk away, more of the same, plus shops and a chip shop in Ingleton.

This well-maintained campsite boasts stunning views and a peaceful vibe, perfect for exploring the Yorkshire Dales or the Three Peaks Challenge. Guests loved the clean facilities, including hot showers and great dishwashing areas. The communal barn offers welcome shelter with WiFi and vending machines. Owners are often praised as friendly and helpful, with good value noted. Minor points: pitches can be sloped, and WiFi is limited outside the barn.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked The location is beautiful, owners are friendly and helpful, facilities are spot on - everything you need & clean, snack bar and vending machines are a real bonus and much appreciated. We would love to visit again to explore the area more. There is so much to do locally and we just didn't have the time.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked My favourite little campsite for the Yorkshire Three Peaks. Took my wife camping there for the first time for one night and we ended up staying three. Staff are friendly and helpful. The barn has loads of local info and supplies. Facilities are always clean.

Disliked The level pitches at the bottom lose the view of Whernside. Move the mountain a bit, please. ;)

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked -Great location
-Basic no frills campsite which is what we love
-Friendly owners
-kids loved being on a working farm

Watch out for the very steep hill...most bigger tents will probably end up down here and getting it all back to the car may be a problem (no issue for us!)

Local attractions

For committed peak baggers, trails up to Ingleborough and Whernside run just by the farm, and the starting point for third peak, Pen-y-ghent, is 15 minutes' drive away. While some mark off their scorecards and leave, others stay and explore this area stuffed with wonders both natural and man-made. The Settle-Carlisle Railway, and its transit over the mighty Ribblehead Viaduct, marks a meeting of human endeavour and landscape: don't miss a chance to take one of the world's great rides: 73 miles through remote and sometimes jaw-dropping scenery from Ribblehead, five minutes' drive away, or Settle (half an hour). If you're up for something more active, it's 10 minutes into Ingleton for tours of the White Scar Caves and the trail to the waterfalls. Heading further westwards towards the Forest of Bowland, it's a 45-minute drive to paths up Bowland's highest point, White Hill for views of Dales, Lakes and even sometimes, the sea. The area is popular with cyclists, too, with numerous bike routes through Gisburn Forest starting from the Forest Hub café, also 45 minutes away. If water's more your element, it's half an hour to Semer Water for coarse and brown trout fishing, canoeing and windsurfing and if you're a tad peckish after all that outdoor stuff you could head up to Hawes (20 minutes) and sample the cheesy delights of the Wensleydale Creamery.
