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.

Pennine Way (Ickornshaw to Malham)

Traverses classic Yorkshire Dales limestone country with significant elevation gain through moorland and valleys. Steep climbs over rough, exposed terrain make this challenging—not suitable for buggies or young children. Dogs welcome but keep on leads near livestock. Rewards with dramatic limestone pavements, historic farmsteads, and sweeping Pennine views that define this iconic national trail section.

Millennium Way Circular Walk 12

Loops through Gisburn Forest with mixed woodland trails and forest tracks, featuring moderate inclines but nothing too demanding. Suitable for older children with stamina, though tree roots and uneven surfaces make it tricky for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads where livestock might graze near forest edges. Rewards walkers with peaceful canopy views, occasional forest clearings, and a proper sense of being among the trees without straying too far from civilisation.

7.31 km from campsite

Silsden Circle

Loops around Silsden, a West Yorkshire mill town, combining canal towpath sections with farmland paths and modest hillside climbs offering views across Airedale. Moderate terrain with some gentle-to-moderate inclines, plus stiles and potentially muddy field crossings after rain. Generally suitable for older children used to longer walks, but tricky for buggies due to stiles and uneven surfaces. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Worth doing for the mix of industrial heritage along the Leeds-L
