Aarons Campsite

Aarons Campsite is a back-to-basics tent and camper van site on five acres of flat, drained moorland at Cragg Vale, between Mytholmroyd and Hebden Bridge in Calderdale, West Yorkshire, with wide Pennine views as its headline draw. It sits high on the edge of the South Pennine moors, roughly 4 miles from Hebden Bridge and about 7 miles from Halifax, at the foot of the long Cragg Vale climb. Pitches suit tents, camper vans and tentboxes on easy, level ground, and the field stays open and airy rather than sheltered. This is a proper basic spot: there are portable flushing toilets but no showers, and it is not geared to large touring caravans, so it will not suit campers who want full amenity blocks or hardstandings. Campfires are a real draw at Aarons Campsite, with fire pits and wood available to hire and a larger fire pit for groups, plus a small bar and food served at busier times. Reviewers regularly praise the friendly welcome and the views, while noting the facilities are simple and weekends can be lively. The site is dog friendly and runs for the main camping season rather than all year. Pitch charges are per person, from £10 a night for adults and £5 for children, with dogs £2.50 and a small weekend supplement.
