Situation :-
The beautiful village of Kettlewell (5 minutes walk from the campsite) is set in a steep, narrow part of the dale, where the old coach road over Park Rash Pass, from Middleham and Coverdale, joins Wharfedale. The village sits under the slopes of Great Whernside on one side of the valley, and Knipe Scar on the other. There is a beck flowing through the centre of the village, and joins into the river Wharfe, that runs alongside Kettlewell in the valley bottom. The area is famous for its dry stone walls and isolated stone barns, which are a conspicuous feature of this part of the dales.
​The village is a popular tourist destination, especially since the recent All Creatures Great and Small series which was filmed in the village and the nearby town of Grassington. It’s a central area for exploring the dales where visitors enjoy hiking, cycling and experiencing the stunning scenery. It also boasts 3 pubs with restaurants, a deli, bistro, ice cream parlour and a well stocked shop, garage and launderette.

The Lifestyle:

The owners of the estate have chosen to run the business on a lifestyle choice. Running the campsite as an adults only quiet site. Only operating 5 camping pitches instead of the allowed 10, only accommodating a select number of campers and only operating for 6 months of the year due to choosing to take the other 6 months as annual leave. There is a greater business potential for the next owners with Wharfe Camp being licensed for year round leisure facilities. There is also the opportunity to expand the camping & glamping, and to extend the house subject to relevant planning. There is also 3.35 acres of farmland which is suitable for sheep grazing and has a sited hen hut and storage sheds. Or could be used to extend the campsite (subject to planning) or as just an overflow for camping on the 60 day rule.
