Ponden Mill Camping

Ponden Mill Camping is a small riverside campsite on the grounds of a historic former textile mill at Stanbury, near Haworth in West Yorkshire, set in Brontë country beside Ponden Reservoir. Grass pitches run along the River Worth on the edge of Stanbury, about 2 miles from Haworth in the Worth Valley, with the Pennine Way and the walk to the Brontë Waterfalls and Top Withens starting close by. There are around 15 pitches, roughly 5 for campervans near the mill and 10 for tents in a quieter woodland area, plus two glamping shepherd huts warmed by log burners. Ponden Mill Camping suits walkers and couples who want a calm, scenic base, so anyone after a big site with a bar, shop or lively facilities should look elsewhere. There is an on-site café, modern showers and toilets, and a genuinely quiet setting by the water, though a few reviewers mention the odd issue with hot water and basic touches. Dogs are welcome, electric hook-ups are limited in number, and campfires are not allowed. The site runs seasonally rather than all year, and camping prices are confirmed with the site directly when you book.
