About Masons Campsite
Run by a friendly team who love camping themselves, Masons has all the right ingredients for a great stay. It's just a short five minute stroll from the local village of Appletreewick and is based in the southern Dales. There are two camping fields to choose from. The Main Field can accommodate tents, caravans, motorhomes or campervans and each pitch has electric. Here, you'll find breathtaking views of the Yorkshire Dales and easy access to the river. Alternatively, during the summer months, tents and small campervans can also pitch in the River Field. There are no electric hookups or designated pitches, allowing a relaxed space to camp together. Feeling glam? There's stunning River View and Garden Yurts to tempt you, including real beds and cosy furnishings. All include a log stove and the bits and bobs you need to rustle up a meal or a hot drink. Even more spacious and ideal for families are the two safari tents, each with a charming veranda and furnished space to sleep six. Dogs are welcome to join you wherever you stay, provided they are kept on a lead.
Open from 1 March to 31 October
Site facilities include a heated facilities block with showers and toilets - with accessible facilities also included. There is a well stocked shop within a vintage Airstream, which sells essentials for your trip, along with groceries. The site has a coin operated launderette with a washer and dryer and a communal freezer.
The Masons Kitchen serves up tasty hot drinks, fresh bread and pastries, as well as homemade sandwiches and hand stretched pizzas. Masons' river is ideal for paddling and fishing, plus there is a rope swing and ball games area.
In Appletreewick village, just a short walk away, there are two country pubs which both serve food.

Things to do on site and in the Skipton area
Head downstream from the site and you'll find a fantastic wild swimming spot, accessed directly from site. The river also provides a lovely place for kids to play and paddle (under your watchful eye) and you might even catch a fish to cook on the fire pit once the sun goes down.
Set under twinkling lights, there is also a boules court in the courtyard where the whole family can enjoy a game together.
Don't miss the majestic shape of nearby Bolton Abbey - an incredible sight at sundown, and the views of Simon's Seat from the village will be enough to turn anyone into a walker. A good thing, too, because the Dales are rife with biking and walking routes.
Other great spots to explore:
- Skipton Castle
- Bolton Priory
- Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway
- National Trust Brimham Rocks
- South Lakes Safari Zoo
- Ingleton Waterfalls Trail
