Ghyll House Farm Campsite is a working family farm campsite on Addingham Moorside, on the flank of Ilkley Moor in West Yorkshire. The site looks out over Wharfedale towards Beamsley Beacon and Great Whernside, with the spa town of Ilkley about 3 miles away and a picturesque footpath of roughly 40 minutes leading down into it; Addingham village is about 20 minutes on foot by country path. Pitches take tents, caravans and motorhomes, with electric hook-up available and a newly fitted toilet, shower and washroom on site. It suits campers and caravanners who want genuine farm surroundings, moorland views and easy walking; the working farm keeps sheep, pigs, cattle and poultry, so it is not a polished resort and not the place for anyone expecting a busy holiday park. What stands out is the farm itself: home reared pork and lamb are sold from the Ghyll House farmhouse, and the welcome from the family running it draws steady praise. The campsite takes bookings all year round; standard pitches start from around £20 a night, with electric hook-up charged as an extra.
Yes, the farm now takes camping bookings all year round, so it is available in winter as well as the main season. Facilities stay open across the year, though moorland weather is often cold and exposed, so pack accordingly. Book ahead and confirm your dates directly, as availability on the farm varies.
