Usha Gap Campsite sits on a working sheep and beef farm in the heart of Swaledale, in County Durham, run by the Metcalfe family. Pitches for tents, touring caravans, camper vans and motorhomes are spread across two fields plus an overflow area, with no set pitches or fixed arrival times, and well-behaved dogs welcome on leads. A modern toilet and shower block, free Wi-Fi, washing machine and an onsite reception shop are all provided. On Friday evenings, a mobile fish and chip van visits the farmyard. Muker village is just half a mile away, Thwaite a similar distance, and Hawes six miles over Buttertubs Pass, with the Pennine Way, Coast to Coast path and Tour de France cycle route all passing close by.
