About Pepper Hall Campsite
Tucked into Arkengarthdale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Pepper Hall is a proper back-to-basics farm site where Swaledale sheep graze the slopes and walks thread straight out from your pitch—up onto grouse moor or down to Arkle Beck in the valley. You'll cross a shallow ford on stepping stones to reach the camping field, setting the tone for a remote, no-frills stay with just a toilet block and running water (not drinkable) on site. Off-ground barbecues are allowed when conditions suit.
What it lacks in facilities it makes up for in scenery and pub access: Langthwaite's welcoming local is a five-minute stroll for traditional ales and good food, with another inn fifteen minutes' walk in the opposite direction. Reeth (ten minutes by car) has shops and a museum, while historic Richmond lies half an hour away. Cycle hire is available nearby for exploring the Dales lanes, and the site happily accommodates DoE groups and dogs year-round.

What visitors say
Louise and her family are such lovely, friendly people, and it’s obvious they all work together as a team to make Usha Gap a fantastic, relaxing, and exceptionally clean campsite. Nothing feels too much trouble, and the warm welcome really makes a difference. The site shop, run from the farm, sells some wonderful local produce and is a great touch for campers wanting to support local businesses. The surrounding area is absolutely beautiful, with walks to suit everyone — from simple, easy strolls to much more challenging hikes for experienced walkers. There’s also a pub less than a mile away, which is community owned, and everyone working there was incredibly friendly. The food was excellent too — I can highly recommend the slow-cooked beef rib and the cheesecake, both were absolutely delicious. All in all, Usha Gap is a lovely, clean, and friendly campsite in a stunning location, and we would happily return.

We have just returned from 3 nights at Usha Gap. It is a really lovely campsite on a working farm in Swaledale. A perfect location, quiet and very beautiful. The campsite is low key but provides everything you need : excellent clean facilities, good hot showers, a fridge and freezer where you can put small items, a little shop, lots of thoughtful small things which make a big difference. Muker village with a nice pub and a shop is a 10 min walk away along a lovely footpath through meadows. We had a wonderful stay, thank you very much. One of the best campsites we have stayed at, we will return soon.

Great campsite. Facilities excellent, including free lockers to charge your phone in (each locker had a plug socket plus 2 USB sockets). Underfloor heating in loo/shower area. They farm beef and lamb and sell the best beef kebabs and lamb burgers! The short walk to the pub (also great for food and brilliant, friendly service) was so pretty, through the meadow path. Everything was nice and quiet after 10:30pm. We heard cuckoos...not heard them since I was a child! Lots of midges, of course, but we weren't bitten (took repellent). They provided you with a campfire pit (made out of disused washing machine drums on legs)...they sell the wood...all in all a super place. I'd recommend!

No rooms as we camped, but we loved this campsite so much that we are going back. Amazingly clean and good facilities (showers, toilets, Shop, charging lockers) great location, lots of space and options as to where you camp. 2 fields and spaces as you drive onto the big field. Other field is on the other side of the road, next to the river. Peaceful. A quiet camp, for couples and families. No loud music at any time,quiet after 10pm and before 8am. It was a lovely stay. there are walks right from the site. Amazing views. It ticked all our boxes. It's so good we want to keep it a secret. We think it's a gem.
