Site status
The hardstanding areas are open for campervans, caravans and motorhomes. The camping field is now closed for the season.
Welcome
Our 10 pitch members' only camping field (Camping and Caravanning Club CS site)
benefits from panoramic views across open moorland and has access to fabulous walks directly from the site. We also have some hardstanding pitches off the field which have more shelter from the elements and some moorland views.
We provide a campers’ campsite so you can be a truly independent but if you prefer to treat yourself to breakfast, lunch, or a cream tea made in our onsite café, it’s all on hand for your enjoyment.
Hawksworth is a small village on the edge of the town of Guiseley allowing campers to enjoy the tranquillity of the countryside whilst also benefitting from good transport links by road, rail and bus. (Menston and Guiseley train stations are within 1- 2 miles of the site).
Hawksworth Camping Ltd. is a small, peaceful, relaxing campsite within a smallholding, located a short distance from the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. Just a few miles from the iconic Cow and Calf rocks at Ilkley, in very close proximity to Emmerdale filming territory and within a 10 minute drive of a World Heritage site of Saltaire, to name but a few, you will not be short of things to explore in the area. Good eating and drinking establishments are within easy reach whether you like cream teas in the countryside, a fine dining experience, excellent Indian cuisine from Yorkshire's own 'curry capital', or simply a good old fashioned country pub. All are within easy reach of the site. Of course you can enjoy a quality Yorkshire breakfast or lunch on site in our own café.
