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.

Primitive grass tent or campervan campsite

Liked: Access to a footpath with goes straight into Skipton with gorgeous views and opportunities for the dog to be off lead. Swimming opportunities in the lakes. Get to choose your own pitch. Relaxed feeling. Opportunity to book the Sauna if you wanted.

Disliked: There’s not many toilets/showers if the site was full. The kitchen area is very small.

The site is young so I can imagine in a couple of years when all the trees and hedges planted have grown it will look amazing! The water in the lakes will need time for the sediment to settle- or perhaps water cleaning plants added.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your comments, as yet even when we have been full we have managed it well, but we will deal with issue when and if they arise. The water is tested and havent come across any problems. They are all natural built lakes, built from clay .😊

A perfect site for all types of camping.

Primitive grass tent or campervan campsite

Liked: Far and away the best campsite in the area. It's a big and beautiful site with plenty of room and not everyone packed in like sardines like other campsites round here. The lakes are gorgeous and if you are an open swimmer they are positively thermal compared to the river. Really warm welcome from staff and we loved the private grounds at the back of the site to walk the dog. A perfect weekend. We can't wait to come for longer.

Disliked: Nothing

Primitive grass tent or campervan campsite

Liked: The location is amazing; high up with stunning views across the valley below to the moors opposite. It's out of the way and feels remote, but has great facilities. Toilets and showers were very clean and the kitchen area had nice little extras like charging points for mobiles.

1 bedroom camping pod

Liked: We loved the pods at this campsite, and the location. Pods were really well kitted out with everything we needed. Cosy and comfortable too.
The location was stunning. Excellent views from our doorstep and a lovely walk up onto Skipton Moor straight from the site. Felt safe and welcoming the whole time, even when we were the only people there.

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.
