The campsite is a 10 minute walk from Malham, 15 mins if you walk via the lovely Janets Foss waterfall
Camping here is very basic but wonderful. The owner, Malcolm, charges £3 per head and £3 per tent.
The site sits at the entrance to the head of the spectacular Gordale Scar and is worth staying at for that alone. Footpaths take you from the site up through the scar or onto the felltop and over to Malham Tarn. If you want something a little more challenging, try walking up the side of the easterly fell and following the scar northwards for a couple of miles to the footpath. It's a difficult walk but I can almost guarantee that you won't meet another soul.
The nearest pub is the Lister arms in Malham, they serve decent grub and the best pint of Thwaites anywhere.
