Brayshaw View Glamping & Camping
A small, owner-run field in the Forest of Bowland AONB where curlews call at dusk, views reach to the Yorkshire Dales' three peaks, and Bev greets every arrival personally.
Brayshaw View sits on high ground above the Ribble Valley, inside the Forest of Bowland AONB, with an open aspect that stretches toward the Yorkshire Dales' three peaks. The site is deliberately quiet and uncrowded, which means pitches don't feel stacked: reviewers noted they could choose their own sunrise spot without jostling for space.
Owner Bev has deep roots in the area and makes a point of sharing them. Expect a proper welcome on arrival, local history unprompted, and honest advice on where to go with whatever age of child or level of ambition you've brought. The area around Brayshaw is strong walking and cycling country: mountain bike trails sit just down the road, Malham is a 25-minute drive, and Settle, Bolton Abbey, Skipton Castle, and several cave systems are all within easy reach.
Bell tents come with side lamps and blankets. Tent and caravan pitches are on an open field. The shower block is basic and spotless, with good hot water and thoughtful small touches. Fire pits are on site, and log burners can be purchased to hire. The overall feel is looked-after without being performative: the kind of independent site where the cleanliness speaks for itself.
Before you book
- Car satnavs sometimes route you to the forest rather than the campsite, use Google Maps specifically.
- Little lighting on the path to the toilet block; bring a torch for night-time trips.
“A properly independent AONB field with a host who knows the landscape inside out. The views and the welcome make it earn its place.”
