Kettlewell Camping
Kettlewell Camping
Kettlewell Camping is a family-run campsite sitting on the edge of Kettlewell village in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, with sweeping views across the Upper Wharfedale valley.
The site was named among The Times' top 20 campsites in 2018 and voted AA Best Small Campsite in the UK in 2019. Facilities include warm washrooms with free hot showers. The village itself — with pubs, a café, and a general store — is just a short stroll away.
A separate private field, situated at the base of Great Whernside next to Dowber Gill Beck, operates independently from the main site and offers its own modern, exclusive facilities.
The campsite is also a popular stopover for Duke of Edinburgh expeditions, with a dedicated field available for those groups. The site operates seasonally.
