Simple riverside farm campsite at Keld, top of Swaledale, popular with Coast to Coast and Pennine Way walkers. No bookings: turn up and pitch.

See all 6 photos

Park Lodge is a basic farm campsite beside the River Swale at Keld, with waterfalls on the doorstep and walks straight from the gate. One field looks across to Kisdon Hill and down the dale towards Muker, and the river is a short walk away for paddling.

There are toilets, two free hot showers, washing-up facilities and a small farm tea shop for drinks, ices and basics. A few electric hook-ups are available away from the riverside field. Nothing can be booked: you arrive after 10am and take a spot, which can be tight on bank holidays. Walkers on long-distance routes pay a lower rate, and there is a car park for leaving a car while you walk.
