Buckden Camping Site and Glamping Pods Yorkshire Family friendly Pet/Dog Friendly Campsite for romantic breaks in Skipton, North Yorkshire, England

Buckden Camping is located at Heber Farm in the heart of real Yorkshire Dales life in the pretty village of Buckden. Based in Upper Wharfedale, beside the Cote de Cray (the first major climb of the 2014 Tour de France and not far from the source of the river Wharf), the working farm is owned by the National Trust and has been tenanted by the Schofields since 1994.

The site's camping field provides lovely meadowland pitches for tents and trailer tents. The field sits by the river Wharf, running along the Dales Way footpath behind situated behind the farmhouse.

Camping Pods

We have three comfortable camping pods. All provide mattress covered seating areas which convert in to beds. No more flapping guy ropes and crawling under wet canvas, this is glamping!

Facilities

Simply bring what you’d normally bring for camping – except the tent. Cook outside* and enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner on the decking while you admire the fabulous view and enjoy the glory of the dale around you.

On the meadow site for tents and Pods, toilets, a shower and pot-wash facility are available for your use in our farm yard a further toilet, shower and pot wash is available as are fridges and freezers just ask.
