About Stablefell Campsite

This peaceful, music-free site is a tranquil place to watch wildlife in the Yorkshire Dales, located just outside the small market town of Hawes. A great choice for couples, families or groups looking to unwind and reconnect with each other. There are lovely grass pitches for tent campers which all have space for a fire pit, perfect for achieving that traditional camping experience. If you'd rather not bring the tent or worry about putting it up, you can hire one of the site's tipis for up to four people and have your glamping option ready when you arrive, but don't forget to bring your own sleeping bags, airbeds or mats for tipi stays. Dogs are welcome to join for tent camping just please ensure that they are kept on a lead as there are free roaming chickens onsite. The site also often hosts pizza evenings, plus there is a little shop and every pitch has its own fire pit for evening campfires.

Stablefell Campsite is open from 01/05 to 02/11 in 2024 and from 17/04 to 01/11 in 2025.

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2024

Really enjoyed our stay at Stablefell. Out of the way and a really quiet area (which we like), but close enough to visit Richmond and Aysgarth falls, 20 minutes down the road by car. Lovely showers and toilets, very clean and the water was hot. The owners were friendly and make pizzas on a Saturday night, which were delicious. Overall, loved our stay and will be recommending to family.
