Hebden Camping New Delight Inn is a small tents and campervan campsite set beside the New Delight Inn, a traditional pub in the village of Colden above Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire. The site sits high on the Pennine moors, right on the Pennine Way, with Hebden Bridge about 2 miles downhill and Heptonstall and Blackshaw Head close by. There are around 14 tent pitches of varying sizes plus a handful of electric hook-up pitches for campervans, served by toilets, hot showers and gas. It suits walkers, cyclists and campervanners after a straightforward moorland base with a proper pub next door; it does not take caravans, and the exposed hillside setting means it is not the spot for anyone wanting sheltered, manicured pitching. What stands out is the pub itself, with changing guest ales and food, a genuinely useful stop for Pennine Way walkers. Tent pitches start from £15 a night plus £3 per person, with electric hook-up £5 extra, and camping is booked by phone on the number given on the site.
Are dogs allowed at Hebden Camping New Delight Inn?
Yes, dogs are welcome at the campsite and the New Delight Inn is a popular stop with dog walkers. The surrounding moorland and Pennine Way offer plenty of walking straight from the site. Keep dogs under control around the pub, other campers and any livestock on the neighbouring farmland.
Can you have campfires at the site?
Yes, campfires are permitted at this site, which sets it apart from many nearby moorland campsites. Check the current fire rules with the pub when you book, particularly in dry spells, and keep fires contained and away from tents. Bring your own firewood, as supplies on this remote hillside are limited.
Does the campsite take caravans?
No, this is a tent and campervan site and it does not accept touring caravans. There are around 14 tent pitches of different sizes plus a few electric hook-up pitches suitable for campervans. If you tour with a caravan, you will need to look at other sites around Hebden Bridge instead.
How much does it cost?
Tent pitches start from £15 a night plus £3 per person, and an electric hook-up adds £5. These rates come from the campsite's own price list. Camping is booked by phone rather than online, so call ahead, especially on Pennine Way walking weekends when pitches fill quickly.
How far is Hebden Bridge town?
Hebden Bridge town centre is about 2 miles downhill from the site at Colden, with its shops, cafes and railway station. The campsite sits high on the moors near Heptonstall and Blackshaw Head, so the return walk is a steep climb. That is worth knowing if you are arriving on foot with a full pack.
