Why stay here ...
Great News - during winter 2020/21 we converted six grass pitches into hardstandings pitches, increasing the length and making them usable all year round.
Set in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, Wharfedale Club Campsite is screened from the outside world with stately trees and offering a rich variety of wildlife. Its two fields are divided by dry stone walls, which are very characteristic of this area. There are numerous walking paths from which you can explore the splendid surrounding countryside, and plenty of dog-friendly walks nearby. Situated in this loveliest of National Parks, the site has excellent facilities.
Wharfedale Club Campsite puts you within easy reach of Grassington, one of the most picturesque villages in the Yorkshire Dales. With its charming cobbled main street, comprehensive Information Centre and a good selection of shops selling local specialities, you will find more than enough for a fun family outing. There are also numerous pubs serving some fine Yorkshire Ales and some delicious home-cooked treats to be had. Prior to Christmas, Grassington holds a series of Dickensian Days on Saturdays throughout December, making this North Yorkshire caravan park the perfect destination for a festive holiday break. You can also enjoy a walk into Burnsall village which boasts a beautiful riverside location.
We look forward to welcoming you on site soon.

A great site in a beautiful location
Wharfedale Club Campsite
We stayed here as part of a Dales tour for walking.
Finding the site easy easy and it's well signposted. Looking at the details beforehand you don't quite get the fact it's next door to a large leisure site with a lot of static holiday homes but you don't hear of feel them plus you get to walk up to the pub on that site and enjoy the good food (Gamekeeper's Inn).
The welcome was great - straight out to see us, a quick book in and then off the find a pitch. Once parked up its back up to the office to pay and get the local information. The site is well laid-out, plenty of space with the services roughly in the middle. A handy footpath entrance at the bottom of the site takes you quickly onto a lane and then into Threshfield - only 10 minutes walk from the site for a good local shop and a pub (Old Hall Inn). Continuing from there it's only a 20 minute walk down into the Wharfe dale and then up into Grassington - such a beautiful little town.
We left the van parked up and spent most of our time walking out across several days, following the Wharf down to Hebden Bridge and up onto Thorpe Fell and Grassington Moor. We did have a main meal out a few times at the some great places in Grassington - The Devonshire for a cracking Sunday lunch and the Black Horse in the hotel bar. Sitting at the van in the late afternoons with a cup of tea and a spot of wine was super as the site was so quiet but full of wildlife, especially the rabbits that come our each evening to nibble on the grass verges. While the site full and very busy it did not feel crowded at all. The usual good welcome and chat with member's was a treat too.
There is so much to see and do on the doorstep of the site. We'll be back.
Our "Happy Place"
Wharfedale Club Campsite
We have visited the Wharfdale Club campsite on a good few occasions. It is well located for travel to various parts of North Yorkshire and is a beautifully kept site. The facilities are immaculate and well kept.
The Wharfdale staff are friendly and helpful and make you feel welcome. The area around the site is beautiful and Grassington is only a short (ish) walk away from the site. Kettlewell is also well worth a visit and this (three pub) beautiful little Yorkshire village is only a short drive away from the site. Burnsall is another village well worth a visit situated right next to the river with a lovely pub serving meals throughout the day.
We would certainly recommend this site, TV and phone reception is good too, if that is important to you.
Spring Visit April 2022
Wharfedale Club Campsite
Had a lovely 8 night stay here. Facilities spotless and not at all busy. Wardens very friendly. Handy for a 20 minute walk into Grassington. We particularly enjoyed a gentle stroll to Burnsall to visit the Red Lion for a beer and fish and chips. If you follow the river it is about 5 miles each way. The Spar and petrol station 10 minutes walk away is very well stocked at reasonable prices. My only gripe is way do members have to travel around the site so fast. Surely it’s not too much to adhere to the 5mph rule. Sometimes it seemed like Wacky Races with cars going so fast and caravans bouncing over the speed bumps behind them.
Fantastic site
Wharfedale Club Campsite
Great site and brilliant wardens plenty to do in the locality.The site is a credit to the wardens.
However people do go too fast round the site in cars and bikes,whilst there children were going round like it was a velodrome,an accident waiting to happen in my own opinion
