The first thing you hear at Approach Farm is silence — proper North Yorkshire Dales quiet, broken only by birdsong and the occasional bleat from the neighbouring fields.

This is a straightforward, no-frills site that works well for anyone after a peaceful pitch in the heart of walking country. You can bring tents, campervans or caravans, and dogs are welcome company on the trails that web out from here into some of England's finest limestone scenery. It's the sort of place where you nod hello to your neighbours in the morning then don't see them again until dusk — everyone's out on the fells or pottering about their own business.

Facilities are simple and clean: toilets and showers onsite, everything you need and nothing you don't. Open all year, so you can have it blanketed in snow or baking under summer sun. Ask about campfires when you arrive — policies can flex depending on conditions. It's a proper working farm site with an honest, unpretentious feel.
