Date of Visit: September 2026 Unit:  Motorhome
Nights stayed: 4 Travelling as:  Mature couple
Reviewer: Fiznlil 53 reviews from this member

 This is a large campsite and there are a lot of seasonal caravans here.

September is clearly low season. Benefit was that £30 per night for a fully serviced pitch was a bargain. However the advertised food offerings were not available and on arrival we were told that the shop would not be open during our stay as it was not busy enough, we are experienced campers and had packed everything we needed so no big issue for us.

After check-in we saw no staff at all during our stay but a mobile number was posted up in case we needed anything.

Facilities are very good indeed. We don't have a dog, but an enclosed dog walk was advertised and I saw a dog wash near the shop.

A code for Wi-Fi was supplied but it didn't work for either of our phones, also there was no TV signal, fortunately we had some DVD's with us.

We took a car as well so we didn't have to be concerned about narrow roads when sightseeing, there was room on the pitch for it and no charge.

We visited Bolton castle and Aysgarth, Malham Cove and Tarn, Settle, Stainforth and Ribblehead.

Enjoyed all our trips, point to note is that Bolton castle is NOT disabled friendly at all, we were fine, but thought it might be useful to mention.

 Fabulous campsite though the description needs reviewing as not really a small site and looks like they are extending.

The toilet & shower block are excellent and spotless. Showers are 50p but worth it for 10 minutes of continuous hot water and good water pressure. The pitches are large with stunning views.

There is a good sized dog field.

Sadly didn't get to try the on site pizzas as didn't start till after we left 😕

Reviewer: Chilepaul 2 reviews from this member

 We had a lovely short stay at Orcaber Farm, camping with my daughter, and it’s a really special spot in a beautiful part of the Yorkshire Dales. The setting is peaceful and scenic, with wide open views and a real sense of space that makes it easy to relax and switch off.

The campsite is well laid out and well maintained, with a friendly, laid-back atmosphere that felt very welcoming for families. Everything felt calm and unspoilt, and it’s an ideal base for exploring the surrounding countryside and nearby villages.

A real highlight for us was the on-site pizza – genuinely excellent and such a treat after a day outdoors. Sitting and enjoying great food in that setting was one of those simple camping moments that sticks with you.

Unfortunately, we had to leave a night earlier than planned due to a forecast storm coming in the following day, but that was entirely down to the weather rather than the campsite itself. Even with the shortened stay, we really enjoyed our time there and would happily return in better conditions to make the most of it.

A great campsite in a stunning location, with fantastic pizza as a bonus – highly recommended, and hopefully next time we’ll stay a little longer.

Reviewer: TheBigPL 30 reviews from this member

 Nice clean site with lovely views. Facilities are great, the 50p showers are worth it for 10mins of hot water and no repeated pressing of a push button.

Plenty of room for you stuff. We had an EHU pitch which had loads of space for the kids to play, as did the main field.

Segregated dog exercise field was good (but why do some dog owners not pick up their mess?! If the site can dedicate space, do your bit by picking up your sh!t!)

Although the signposted river/dog walk involved crossing a pretty busy main road which felt a bit dangerous with kids. Nice pub in Clapham made it worthwhile.

Pizzas/burgers available on site on Saturday if ordered in advance.

Reviewer: Jakeblu 3 reviews from this member

 We have a car camper and stayed here for two nights in June 2024. A fab campsite with stunning views all around the site.

Friendly and helpful staff and probably the best toilet/showers of any campsite I’ve stayed on.

Great location for the Trough of Bowland, Settle and the southern lakes.

It’s quite a busy site with lots of family activity so just beware it’s not a quiet site. It never bothered us even when we were woken at 2am with someone arguing and we will definitely be back.

Philpin Farm Campsite - Yorkshire Dales

Beautiful tent only site set on a family run hill farm in the Yorkshire Dales, nestled between Ingleborough and Whernside. The Three Peaks footpath runs right through the farm adjacent to the campsite with lots of walks direct from the site from easy strolls to climbing the Three Peaks, and five minutes to the pub!

Tent pitches only, no electric hookups. Toilet and shower block and washing up facilities. Sit, eat and socialise in the old barn, with free wifi, charging lockers, freezer. At weekends the Philpin Snack bar is open for cooked breakfasts, hot and cold snacks and drinks, ice creams, chocolates etc, on other days there are vending machines in the barn.

 The site was very clean and very roomy.

The staff are very friendly and helpful, liked the idea that we had our own water point and waste point.

Also liked the background radio playing in the toilet block.

Lovely scenic views of the hills surrounding this camp site very quiet and relaxing.

 Stayed at this site several years ago when it was just being developed. Delighted to say that the owners have made a great job with the site and the facilities.

Well stocked shop/reception spacious and spotlessly clean toilet and shower facilities and lovely flat, well maintained grass pitches with electric and non electric hook up plus friendly and helpful staff.

Lovely views across open countryside and 20-30 minutes walk into Austwick which is a delightful village.

Good location for a variety of walks or for visiting the nearby villages and towns.

 1st visit to this site, very good facilities and location with numerous walks,

Very helpful and friendly welcome,

Only down side was trying to get the tent pegs in, due to the dry spell we have had ground was as hard as rock, luckily I had some very good pegs with me.

Would go again most definitely

 Lovely site. Was very busy due to gorgeous weather, but still had room. Football area in middle for kids to play.

Good new toilet/shower facilities. 50p per shower, , but lasts 10 mins which I think is v. Fair.

Well stocked shop. Which does pizza on Saturday night looked very nice.

In good area to visit settle, Kirkby longsdale etc.

Deffo be returning in future.

 A lovely very well cared for site.

Great facilities, very, very clean but if the site was full I'm not sure there would be enough.

Even with both blocks open.

Very pleasant and helpful staff.

 Fabulous site with generous sized pitches, great facilities and all round views.

We used it as a base to go walking in the Yorkshire Dales and to explore the Settle /Carlisle railway.

Fabulous pub serving great food within 20 minutes walk.
