We loved our stay at Wharfe Camp in Kettlewell (late August 2024). Keith and Lucy were very welcoming and helpful as we arrived, and when we realised we had forgotten a pan to cook in (!) they lent us one. Yet, at the same time, they allowed us the peace and quiet we hoped for and did not fuss. The facilities were clean and of a good standard - and the shower was warm. We'd definitely return.
