 Louise and her family are such lovely, friendly people, and it’s obvious they all work together as a team to make Usha Gap a fantastic, relaxing, and exceptionally clean campsite. Nothing feels too much trouble, and the warm welcome really makes a difference.
The site shop, run from the farm, sells some wonderful local produce and is a great touch for campers wanting to support local businesses. The surrounding area is absolutely beautiful, with walks to suit everyone — from simple, easy strolls to much more challenging hikes for experienced walkers.
There’s also a pub less than a mile away, which is community owned, and everyone working there was incredibly friendly. The food was excellent too — I can highly recommend the slow-cooked beef rib and the cheesecake, both were absolutely delicious.
All in all, Usha Gap is a lovely, clean, and friendly campsite in a stunning location, and we would happily return.

This is a lovely campsite which I hope to stay at again in the future if I ever come back to this lovely area.
Its benefits include: being quiet; a freedom to pitch where you like in a large area; well maintained grass/camping surface; a well stocked shop with practical items and good quality local food products with sensible opening times (morning and evening); a warm, friendly welcome with great service in the shop; very clean facilities (even though it was rather wet).
The single drawback that prevented me giving an overall '10' rating was the fact that there are only 4 available 'non-urinal' toilets available to gents, so for 2/3 mornings I had to wait for a few minutes to use one of these toilets. Showers weren't a problem and were spacious with hot water and good pressure.
The weather was very changeable and I'd forgotten to pack a cap/hat but not a problem, I was able to buy one in the shop to protect my head from the sun. The next couple of mornings it was wet and with only a small tent I didn't fancy making coffee/breakfast outside, but again, not a problem the shop sold coffee and tasty food in the morning.
It's a great base for some beautifully scenic walks with the village of Muker and its lovely Farmers Arms pub just down the road within easy walking distance.
We had a thunderstorm and very heavy rain at times during the 2 day, 3 night stay and the site seemed to be very well draining: I couldn't see any evidence of 'flash flooded' areas.

Usha Gapp is in a beautiful location in the Swaledale valley.
A large site with a relaxed atmosphere ideal location for walkers, close to the villages of Muker and Thwaite with a bus service.
The toilets, showers are spotless, small laundry facilities and really good drying room. A nice bit of family and local history information situated in the wash room lobby.
A small but well stocked shop with local farm reared meats even a fresh coffee available.
A nice site.
For us EHU would be a bonus.

Our stay at Usha Gap was very enjoyable.
We are used to marked pitches and electric hook-ups, which this site does not have, but it's very spacious and you choose anywhere that suits you - and that worked out fine for us.
The on-site shop is small, but is amazing: it stocks just about anything you want, including delicious local foods.
The surrounding countryside/landscapes are without exaggeration stunning.
A lovely place we have no hesitation of recommending.

I loved every minute the views are beautiful and the sounds of nature make for a peaceful and calming stay,
The facilities are clean and free and include everything you need,
The shop was great we bought beef steaks that after cooking on a barbecue melted in the mouth.
The surrounding area is full of interesting and beautiful sights.

Small drying room, which was super hot
Small lockers to charge phones ( free with donation )
Dishwashing indoor area
Decent clean showers and toilets
Nice flat well kept grass
Small shop
Lots of space
Recycling bins
Lovely views

I booked two nights at this site, either end of a trip to Scotland. In the end I only used one of those bookings but because I paid for both Louise told me she now owed me a night! I plan a return trip to the Yorkshire Dales in September, so I'll get my second night after all.
Usha Gap is an open field campsite, there is a huge amount of room and guests are pretty much allowed to pick wherever they like. There is a small area next to the river but very close to the road and two more large fields. I chose a quiet and shaded spot near the shop and facilities.
Louise said the road, which can be busy during the day, is quiet at night, she was right, I didn't hear a car or motorbike much after 8. 00 pm.
The grass had not been cut when I was there, it may be at other times but it was easy to find a nice flat tent pitch.
The facilities are kept clean and are very good if a little dated in that there are (in the gents), a row of urinals, a row of sinks and a row of toilets and also showers. If you like your privacy when washing you'd best be early. The washing up facilities are in the same block. Indoors, what a treat and were always clean during my stay. There is also a drying room which two fellow motorcyclists were using, having got caught in a thunder storm. In addition there are two more toilets that are separate from the others.
The overall atmosphere is quiet and relaxed and the amount of space on site means you can be as social or unsociable (me) as you like. The shop has some tasty goodies, including ice cream and some local form produce.
A really lovely campsite and one which I will use again.

Large field, wonderful views on the site,
Relaxed atmosphere, warm and clean showers, friendly owners and A well-assorted campsite shop.
Lovely Walks starting on the camp site.
Our kids loved the free WiFi and the possibility to find fossils in nearby streams.
We would certainly recommand A holiday on this site.

This is my 3rd review for this site, can't recommend it highly enough.
Louise the owner is so welcoming and helpful, there are no strict check-in and check-out times, so no rushing to leave, and no set pitches so you can pitch wherever you please.
The facilities are always spotless, showers always warm and never had to queue. The shop is small but has all the essentials and much much more.
The site itself has such beautiful views and the surrounding areas are great to explore. There are great walks direct from the site. A pub and tea rooms in the nearby village of Muker, and a fish and chip van that visits usually on a Friday evening.
We have been going to the site for a number of years and have never been disappointed. Already looking forward to booking a few trips again for 2023.
