  • 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 for its spotless facilities, roomy pitches, and lovely setting. Guests rave about the clean restrooms/showers, friendly staff, and well-stocked shop. It's family & dog-friendly, with a dog field and nearby walks. Fire pits and on-site food are hits. Mostly quiet, though some noise during busy times. Great value; many guests plan to return.

Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked Cleanliness of bathrooms and washing facilities. Friendly staff and pitches were a good space. Nice area and well kept. Even the 50p charge for the shower was worth the money as it was 10 minutes of good pressure and nice hot water!

A D.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Brilliant place. Had everything you need. Very clean and well maintained. Great sized hard standing pitches with grass and a picnic table. Just enough rules to have a peaceful stay while still feeling the holiday vibes. Loads of things to do in a fifteen minute drive. Hubby also loved it and so did the dogs. Wonderful long fenced in dog exercise field to let off some beans. We borrowed the fire pit and bought the bag of wood, bag of kindling and fire lighters. Cost was a bit steep at £17.50 for this, that said it did twice. Maybe best to offer one bag with everything in for one fire for a tenner? That said it was lovely to have the option, very hard not to be present watching the fire crackling and tending it with kindling.

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.
