Peaceful family campsite in Yorkshire's pretty Aire Valley
A quarter of an hour's drive from Skipton and Saltaire
Within a quarter of a mile of bus stops and a railway station

Planning some travels that don’t rely on a car? This could well be the spot – Tip Top Campsite, on the banks of the Aire River, is within a quarter of a mile of public transport options like a railway station and bus stop, making it easy to get out and about exploring nearby places like Skipton, Ilkley and Saltaire. Not that there’s any reason to stray that far if you don’t want to. This site is in a great spot for exploring the surrounding Aire Valley on walks or bike rides – and amenities aren’t far off either. Steeton (a mile away) has a small supermarket, takeaway and restaurant, while the nearby village of Silsden (three quarters of a mile) has cafés, a larger supermarket and access to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal towpath. Staying on site for a while may well be an option, too – river fishing is allowed in the Aire if you've got the correct licence (although landing fish on the steep bank can be difficult), and the grounds are generally a supremely peaceful place to relax. The site is full of greenery, including over 800 willow trees and a small woodland by the beck that meanders through the farm. All of that foliage attracts wildlife, but the site is also home to domesticated animals like Kunekune pigs, geese, bees and hens that visitors are welcome to meet. Because of all the animals, please make sure that you use the designated dog exercise field if you're bringing a four-legged friend. Handily, the site also has two (7kWh) electrical vehicle charging points for guests to use.

Liked: Couldn’t fault it at all. I’ve stayed in hotel rooms for three times the price that weren’t as nice as the cabins.

Facilities were clean and plentiful. Showers were hot! Lots of other things like fire pits, microwave, fridge you can make use of as well.

Communication was great and would stay here again without hesitation.

Friendly horse and pigs nearby.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Very nice tidy campsite with well kept facilities, the toilets were very clean, good sink for washing up with hot water straight away. We also liked the chimenea which kept the night going longer. It was a nice quiet stay, thank you.

Disliked: Nothing really to dislike. The road was slightly noisy but I didn't mind that.

Liked: Great easy access to the site with good communication from the owners.
Toilets and showers clean and well presented, water was hot.
covered area in the back of the barn for those wet days (we didn't have any)
Close to station for trains and bus stops at the end of the driveway.

Disliked: Grey waste disposal and Elsan point would have been a bonus but it was not an essential for us

Local attractions

Once you’ve thoroughly explored the Aire Valley, there’s plenty more for walkers and cyclists to see over in the Yorkshire Dales National Park (20 minutes’ drive), or with a meander along the towpath of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (five minutes). Or, if you’d like your outdoor time to be filled in a different way, perhaps try the Silsden Golf Driving Range (two minutes). Places for a gentle stroll are plentiful, too – maybe you’d like to wander the grounds of Cliffe Castle Museum and Park (10 minutes) and the gorgeous Bolton Abbey estate (20 minutes) or take a tour through the well-preserved medieval rooms of Skipton Castle (15 minutes). The Italianate architecture of ‘model village’ Saltaire (15 minutes) makes this another lovely place for a day out. For other options, take a trip to Ilkley (15 minutes) to swim in the river and try out its foodie shops, learn about one of the nation’s favourite literary families at Brontë Parsonage Museum (20 minutes) or visit the Royal Pump Museum and have tea at Betty's Tea Rooms in Harrogate (40 minutes).
