Prices to camp
(caravans and campervans also welcome) can be found on the
website, but as a rough estimate a tent with
two adults and two children without hook up will cost you
approximately £17 per night depending on the age of the children. A
limited number of electric hook ups are available - please ask when
you book!
Bunkhouses also
available - see website for details. We would advise you book
quickly if this is your preferred accommodation. Dalesbridge
does offer bed and breakfast accommodation, but are fully booked
for the weekend we are there, so sorry folks that is not an option
for softies!
Please book
directly with the campsite, either online or by telephone,
and be sure to quote the magic word "GEOCACHING" when you
book.
The reception area
sells essential items and will happily freeze your freezer blocks
for you. There is a friendly local shop in Austwick village (less
than a mile) and supermarkets nearby in Settle and Ingleton (approx
5 miles) that are open till late.
BBQs are permitted,
off the ground please, but no open fires.
Day visitors are
welcome on site at 10.00am on Saturday 25th June to pick up details
of new caches. Please also feel free to join us on site on Saturday
evening when we will have a BBQ or maybe arranging for a big
Chinese/Indian takeaway. Details nearer the time.
Dalesbridge is
situated on the main A65 cross-Pennine route between Ingleton
(6miles) and Settle (5miles), close to the village of Austwick with
the entrance on the main A65 road.
The Dalesbridge
campsite welcomes dogs but they ask that they are kept under close
control and that owners are considerate to other
campers.
Travelling by
train, the nearest station
within walking distance is Clapham (2.5 miles), but for those being
collected by car, Settle and Giggleswick are more
convenient.
