The crunch of gravel underfoot and the distant call of curlews drifting across the Yorkshire Dales announce your arrival at Long Ashes Park. This is North Yorkshire hill country at its most authentic, where the light shifts constantly across limestone walls and the air carries that distinctive Pennine freshness.
Perfect for those seeking an unpretentious base to explore the Dales, this year-round site welcomes tents, campervans and caravans to a landscape shaped by centuries of farming tradition. The North Yorkshire location puts you within reach of classic Three Peaks territory, market towns, and miles of walking country that ranges from gentle valley rambles to challenging fell routes.
Facilities are straightforward and functional — clean toilets and showers provide the essentials after a day on the hills. The campfire policy requires checking on arrival, so ask at reception if you're hoping for an evening fire. There's an honest, no-frills atmosphere here that suits campers who prioritise landscape over luxury and understand that the Dales themselves are the real attraction.
