How Stean Gorge is a natural wonder. This spectacular limestone ravine carved out over thousands of years by waterflow is the perfect base for exploring the Yorkshire Dales. You can follow winding paths and explore caves by torchlight or admire breath-taking scenery whilst enjoying homemade meals and desserts.
You will find outdoor activities, wildlife watching, heritage and culture, fabulous food and shopping all a stones-throw from our camping site. There is plenty of space in the camp site area for playing games on the grassy slopes and having fun. At night, the moon and stars are your only light so please bring a torch!
Our Instructor-led outdoor activities take place in the gorge or nearby all year including abseiling, gorge walking, via ferrara - high wire adventure course, canoeing, caving and rock climbing. Large family sized hot showers, great food in the cafe and free wifi. Booking is essential.
With 26 tent pitches, How Stean Gorge Camping Park is a great place to meet up and spend time with family and friends. The 3 star camping park is in one of England's 5 Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty - Nidderdale, Yorkshire Dales.

We also offer plenty of space in the camp site area for playing games on the grassy slopes and having fun. At night, the moon and stars are your only light so please bring a torch!
