Pitches with a view (added by manager 10 Oct 2022)

A view from behind the campsite towards the yorkshire dales

Views over the farm and site towards ingleborough

Small and peaceful family farm site with views of the Yorkshire Dales
A 20-minute drive to the Lake District and Arnside & Silverdale
Walks from the doorstep; shared cooking area with gas cooker

Surrounded by craggy views and hikes from the doorstep, Shepherd’s Crag Glamping is a peaceful sort of place – and it's kept that way by only having a handful of guests at any one time to stay at this lovely site surrounded by the gorgeous Cumbrian countryside. Feel free to be as active or as lazy as you like here – if you choose the latter there are views of the Yorkshire Dales and Ingleborough to accompany any mid-afternoon chats or naps, plus evenings by the barbecue or firepit. What might a day go like here? Once you’ve rolled out of the hay and rustled up something to eat using the shared gas cooking (with washing-up facilities and ice pack freezing also available), you might want to head to the rear of the site. From there, it’s a short walk to the Hutton Roof Crags, Newbiggin Crags and Farleton Knott, which together have far-reaching views of the Lake District and the sea (this area is a hot walking, hiking, climbing and mountain biking spot, by the way). Shepherd’s Crag Glamping is on a family farm, and guests have access to simple facilities like charging points, two composting loos and hot showers (as it’s such a small site, there should never be too long to queue). Plus, all the pitches are carefully positioned to give you your own space and privacy while still taking advantage of the great views. When you’re ready to get into the role of intrepid explorer, the Lake District National Park is 20 minutes’ drive away, as is the Arnside & Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Yorkshire Dales are 25 minutes’ drive away too.

2 bedroom safari tent

Dimensions: 4.5m width x 4.5m length (14.8ft width x 14.8ft length) Calculated area: 20.3m² (218.0ft²)

6 people maximum 2 bedrooms

Our Safari Tent is sited in our small camping meadow, surrounded by farmland. Newbiggin Crag is just behind us and our tent makes the most of the stunning views of Ingleborough and the Yorkshire Dales that we are lucky enough to enjoy. You get the best of the views, being sited towards the front of the meadow, meaning your views are not affected by other visitors - possibly just by a few sheep and lambs in the field in front! There's plenty of space of your own and we offer just 5 pitches in total, giving you a calm and peaceful place to stay. Sleeping between 4 and 6 it's the perfect base to explore from - or to sit and admire the view! £95 per night or £665 per week (Based on 2 adults and 2 children sharing). £5 extra per night, per additional child. £10 extra per night, per additional adult. One Greener Camping Club membership required per booking (£12 annual membership fee if there are no current members in your group, which we can organise for you). What is included? Our Safari tent is very spacious, measuring 4.5 metres squared internally and boasting a 4.5 x 2 metre covered veranda! It comfortably sleeps 4 to 6 people. Bedroom 1 is furnished with a double bed with a brass frame. Bedroom 2 is furnished with a bunk bed which has a double on the bottom and single above. The living room also has a day bed which can be used as a further single bed. Bedding is included but if you would like to bring your own we can offer a £10 a night discount on your stay. The living area also has a dining table and benches which seat 6 people as well as the day bed sofa. Think less cold and muddy campsite and more canvas room with a view! The tent has remote controlled LED lighting which can be recharged. The chance to recharge is offered by a portable power station which has a (500W total / X-Boost 1000W) 512Wh battery capacity. This is perfect to power the lighting and charge up small devices. It is connected to a solar panel to gkeep it charged. When needed it can recharged in one hour (using mains electric) upon request. Please do not bring your devices such as kettles, heaters, toasters, hairdryers or straighteners as they overload the power station. On the veranda there are two loungers and two chairs accompanied by a small table. There is also a small kitchen station with a gas stove, kettle, 3 saucepans, a frying pan and basic BBQ tools. To the right of the Safari Tent is a picnic bench and Kadai Fire pit/ BBQ with basic tools. One sack of logs (further wood can be purchased if needed). Shared washing up, gas cooking facilities, fridge / freezer and charging points. Basic crockery, cutlery and cups. Drinking water point in the camping meadow Shared composting toilet and shower. Eco-responsible/ biodegradable products provided by Eco Homes Supplies - hand wash and washing up liquid are supplied. Please bring: Towels and any toiletries that are not mentioned above as included Sensible footwear, clothes and waterproofs – we’re based on the side of a fell and weather can be changeable even in summer, so come prepared and check the forecast before you travel. Food and drinks – the nearest shop is 3 miles away and we only sell milk, cheese and eggs at the farm so please come prepared. There are no takeaways or delivery services nearby. Other things you need to know... Please have an understanding and acceptance of the greener camping ethos: putting 'green' at the forefront of camping. We aim to create a quiet, eco-responsible, sustainable camping experience. We provide composting and recycling facilities on site and ask that our guests think carefully about what they need to bring: aiming to reduce waste and our combined impact on the environment.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Beautiful setting, amazing views, lovely and quiet site. Toilets and shower were really nice. Hats off to being so eco friendly. Communal kitchen with gas burners was super handy when our gas ran out! Loved having the crags as you walk out of the site for some great walks. Can’t not mention the super friendly Rough fell sheep who greeted every morning! The site is really well situated for the lakes and the dales, will definitely be back.

Disliked: The farms track and the roads approaching the farm can be a bit tricky. Obviously not a negative for the site but just something to be mindful of when visiting.

2 bedroom safari tent

Liked: Loved the safari tent and location. As 2 friends travelling with 2 dogs we like to have our own bed. The beds were super comfy and the space inside was perfect with awesome views of the valley from our porch. We weren't as keen on the eco toilets. Although clean the smell was gag inducing. Not sure about the showers, I managed one stone cold shower as could not get the hot water to work. Loved access to the walks behind the campsite. I always look for sites with access to walks for the dog. The geology with its limestone paths was really interesting. A heater in the tent would be good as it did get quite chilly at night.

Liked: We had a lovely weekend in the sunshine at Shepherd's Crag. We liked that it was a small site and sustainable. Joe was helpful and friendly. The views were amazing and it was great to be able to walk from the site up onto the Crag and across Hutton Roof. We would definitely stay there again!

2 bedroom safari tent

Liked: We stayed in the new safari tent and had a lovely weekend :) The tent was a lovely set up, nice and clean and had all of your basics. The campsite is great with everything you need on a back to basics site, also facilities are easily accessed because there’s only a few pitches on the site so not too many people using them. Thank you for a lovely weekend :)

2 bedroom safari tent

Liked: Gorgeous views from the safari tent which was well equipped and set up lovely! Really enjoyed our stay on the quiet campsite. Remember your warm clothes as we found it a little chilly in the tent as there is no heating like some other glamping tents may have, however lovely and cosy in the comfy beds! The showers were clean and powerful. This was our first time using composting toilets which were kept clean although they did smell occasionally we wouldn't say this put us off our visit. Unfortunately somebody must have been smoking in the toilet and that smell for us was far worse. We would recommend this campsite to others and would love to come back! The children loved the oppertunity to see the live stock and it was lovely to wake up and see the sheep so close.

Shepherd's camping pod

Liked: Couldn’t have been happier with our stay at the farm. The pod itself was gorgeous and had everything we needed. The bed was super comfy and the provision of stove, kettle and cutlery was great. The setting itself is stunning and waking up to that view was a real treat. I was pleasantly surprised by the facilities.

Disliked: Perhaps the only point to mention would be that the fire wood provided was too damp to use so we bought our own which was no real inconvenience. Didn’t manage to get hot water in the shower but again this wasn’t a problem for us.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Sophie, thank you for your lovely review - so glad you had a nice stay. The showers need to be run nice and hot with lots of flow to get the water heater to ignite! You should have mentioned the logs - we’ve had quite a bit of rain - I could have replaced them with a dry bag. Hopefully we’ll welcome you back in the future. Joe

Local attractions

Ramblers’ biggest dilemma might be deciding upon which place to head to first. Straight to hikes in the Yorkshire Dales National Park (25 minutes’ drive), where some goals might be to hike the Three Peaks or track down waterfalls like Ingleton Falls, Janet’s Foss and Aysgarth Falls? While you’re holidaying here, it might seem like there’s no end to the characterful villages and historic towns. Take Kirkby Lonsdale (15 minutes), for instance, with its independent shops and eateries, 14th-century bridge and Ruskins View over the Lune Valley. There are pretty views all over the place in the Arnside & Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (20 minutes) too. The two coastal villages are packed with hiking trailheads, ice cream shops and fish and chips shops. Over in the Lake District National Park (20 minutes) there are hikes such as The Langdale Pikes (55 minutes) and pretty towns like Bowness-on-Windermere (half an hour) and Grasmere (50 minutes). Those with a sweet tooth might appreciate Grasmere’s tasty gingerbread, while Wordsworth readers can visit a museum on his life.
