Welcome to wharfe camp
If you're seeking peace, tranquility, and stunning natural beauty, Wharfe Camp deserves a spot on your bucket list. Nestled on the edge of the charming village of Kettlewell in the breathtaking Yorkshire Dales National Park, our campsite is perfectly situated with a variety of visitor attractions just a short drive away.
A leisurely walk will take you to the heart of Kettlewell, where you'll find three welcoming pubs serving food, a deli café, an ice cream parlour, and a well-stocked village store. The village also has a car park with EV charging points, a laundry, a garage, and everything you need for your stay.
Wharfe Camp is a small, adult-only haven cherished by hikers, cyclists, and nature lovers. We offer:
- Five spacious tent pitches (2 adults) accommodating tents up to 6m in length.
- A campervan hard-standing (2 adults) for RVs not exceeding 5m in length (please note: motorhomes are not permitted).
- Two fully equipped camping pods (2 adults), perfect for those who enjoy a touch of comfort and a cosy bed.
Electric hook-ups are available, and you can park alongside your pitch or in our car park. Shared facilities include communal toilets, washbasins, an electric shower, and an outdoor washing-up area.
At Wharfe Camp, we prioritise a peaceful and respectful atmosphere for solo campers and couples. We kindly ask guests to avoid loud music and close car doors gently in consideration of fellow campers. Please note that pets, group bookings, and visitors are not permitted to ensure the serene environment we value.
As a small adult-only site, our availability is limited, and we're proud to welcome many repeat guests. Early booking is highly recommended to secure your spot.
As an enthusiastic camper and walker, I feel fortunate to have taken over Wharfe Camp and live out my dream. I'm excited to meet you and look forward to welcoming you to this special retreat in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales.

We had a fantastic stay at Wharfe Camp over the Easter weekend. We were in the glamping pod which was really comfortable, well-equipped and cosy. Parking directly next to the pod and the shower/toilet block was clean and close-by. The site is beautiful and quiet, and 5 mins walk from Kettlewell. Sean was a great host, really welcoming and happy to help with any queries. We hope to return one day!

I had an excellent four-night stay at Wharfe Camp just outside the lovely village of Kettlewell. I stayed in the Basecamp pod, which was extremely comfortable – it included a very cosy mattress (you bring your own bedding in this pod), a table and chairs, and a generously sized fridge with a freezer compartment. Thoughtful extras like a kettle, toaster, tea, coffee, milk, and biscuits were much appreciated. The heater worked brilliantly, keeping the chill out during the evenings. The site’s toilets and showers were immaculate every time I used them, which really added to the overall comfort of the stay. Guest from Keyingham, East Yorkshire

A beautiful small, well maintained, tranquil site with generous sized pitches. Excellent location and just a very small walk to the village. Scenery from the site is outstanding in all directions, a walkers paradise. The site owner, Sean, was very friendly, welcoming and approachable. We would highly recommend this site.
