Buckden Camping Site and Glamping Pods Yorkshire Family friendly Pet/Dog Friendly Campsite for romantic breaks in Skipton, North Yorkshire, England
Buckden Camping site and Glamping Pods is a small and friendly family camping site, located in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales right on top of the Dales Way. The site offers meadowland tent camping and three comfortable camping pods.
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!
The latest in cool camping, our pods each sleep up to 5 people and offer electricity, lighting and heating for the ultimate in easy camping. Spacious and secure the pods are insulated wooden huts which provide warm and cosy accommodation whatever the weather. The roofing material is designed to eliminate noise and enhanced by natural sheep wool insulation, it ensures the pod is warm in cold weather and cool when it gets hot!
Details
Tent Pitches per Adult per night £7.50, Child £3.50. Camping Pods from £40 per night.
We have a 2-night minimum booking at weekends during peak season (July – September)
We Recommend 2 Adults and 3 children maximum for each pod
