Award-Winning Catgill Farm Named An Outstanding Site For 2026

And There's Still Time to Experience It This Summer
Catgill Farm Camping and Glamping has been named an Outstanding Site for 2026 by Campsites.co.uk, recognising the family-run Yorkshire Dales destination as one of the UK's most consistently exceptional places to camp, glamp and tour.

The accolade celebrates campsites that consistently deliver outstanding guest experiences and comes on the back of another hugely successful year for Catgill Farm. The site was also named Runner Up for Best Campsite in North East England (only losing out to sister site Howgill Lodge) at the 2025 Camping and Glamping Awards and continues to receive exceptional guest feedback, boasting an impressive 4.89 out of 5 rating, with 99% of visitors recommending a stay.

Owned by Cat and Oliver Barker, Catgill Farm has become one of Yorkshire's best-loved countryside escapes, combining beautifully maintained camping pitches and luxury glamping accommodation with thoughtful touches including five-star facilities, Cat's Kitchen, family-friendly experiences and its much-loved resident alpacas.

Oliver Barker said: "Camping has always been about helping people make the most of the outdoors and spending quality time together, so it's incredibly rewarding to know our guests feel we've created somewhere special. We never stand still and are always looking at ways to improve the experience, whether that's investing in our facilities, introducing new ideas or simply making sure every visitor receives a warm Yorkshire welcome. To be recognised in this way, based on genuine guest feedback, means a huge amount to us all."

As families look to make the most of the remaining weeks of the school holidays, Catgill Farm is also encouraging visitors to take advantage of its limited August camping availability. With electric and non-electric pitches still available, it's the perfect opportunity for a last-minute escape to the Yorkshire Dales while the summer weather is at its best.

Guests can spend their days exploring Bolton Abbey and the surrounding countryside, meeting the resident alpacas, enjoying pizzas from Cat's Kitchen or simply relaxing around a campfire beneath the stars.

For those already planning an autumn or winter getaway, Catgill's luxury glamping pods remain available to book. Fully insulated and centrally heated, all including private hot tubs, while the site's unique geodomes offer a cosy retreat under the night sky, as the seasons change.
