DOG-FRIENDLY, BIKE-FRIENDLY, KID-
FRIENDLY...AND OODLES OF SPACE TO EXPLORE
Need we say more? Oh, go on then...

Heggs is a wild and unkempt 136-acre farm-turned-renaturing project located between the villages of Reeth and Langthwaite at the northern edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Stretching from the wooded banks of the Arkle Beck up to the dizzying heights of Fremington Edge, it's a wonderfully varied and off-the-beaten-path spot, where peace and quiet are your only company for miles.

Our site is open to adventure-seeking small groups on a limited basis each summer. And in line with our low-impact ethos, every booking is for sole use of the camping area and rustic facilities.

Heaven for some, hell for others (what do you mean no wifi?!) Read on to see whether the Heggs back-to-basics experience is for you, then get in touch to join our summer 2025 waiting list...

GET BACK TO BASICS
Unleash your inner Bear Grylls
If you're looking for Egyptian cotton and unlimited WiFi, search on. Heggs is a nearly-wild, off-grid camping experience that Mr. Grylls himself would approve of. Savour the delights of simple living. Master your firepit cookery skills. And give your kids a real Famous Five-style adventure.
OFF-THE-BEATEN-PATH
Escape the madding crowd.
Spanning the northern tip of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Arkengarthdale is one of the region's most beautiful yet undiscovered areas. With sole use of the camping area, you can pitch up where you like, and enjoy a truly personal, away-from-it-all experience.
HIKE OR BIKE TO THE DOOR
Part of the adventure is getting here
Our walk/cycle-in location isn't for everyone. But for intrepid explorers, it's the first taste of the adventure yet to come. Pack light and enjoy your journey in, following one of the numerous bridleways and footpaths connecting Heggs to the villages of Reeth and Langthwaite.
CARBON NEUTRAL STAYS
Every stay plants trees. Literally.
All profits from camping support our nature restoration works as part of the Heggs-Castle Cluster. Proceeds from the 2024 season have been put towards natural flood management, maintenance of our 30 ha woodland, and hosting more volunteer events.
OFF-GRID CAMPING 2025
Whether you want to be a stone's-throw away from the compost loo and cow byre clubhouse, basking on the banks of the Arkle, or hidden away on a hillside, our 136-acre site offers plenty of memorable places to pitch up.

And with sole use of the camping area and rustic facilities, just for you and your family/friends, there'll be no noisy neighbours in sight...

THE HEGGS-CASTLE RENATURING PROJECT
A collaborative approach to nature restoration and rewilding across a combined 200-acre site

About Heggs-Castle
Heggs joined forces with two neighbouring landowners in 2019 to form the Heggs-Castle Cluster; a collaborative approach to nature restoration across a combined 200-acre site. Our aim is to maximise biodiversity by restoring natural processes; thereby building more resilient ecosystems.

To date, we have planted more than 33,000 trees and hedging plants, undertaken an extensive program of natural flood management works - including the creation of scrapes and leaky dams - and continue to work with and learn alongside multiple local partners and not-for-profit groups in the pursuit of our ambitions.

We're grateful for ongoing support, funding and advice from the following organisations: Tees-Swale: Naturally Collected, Yorkshire Dales Rivers Trust, Yorkshire Dales National Park, Woodland Trust: Growing Back Greener, Yorkshire Dales Millenium Trust, Sustainable Swaledale, Yorkshire Rewilding Network.

Our passionate, hard-working volunteers are also invaluable in helping us to make a real difference on the ground. Thank you!
