On the left is Rye Croft Field which is the main camping area.

On the right a view of the Old Village Field which is a smaller

camping area close to the Activity & Phoenix buildings.

 

Altar fires are placed around the campsite

 

Rye Crofts Field is the larger of the two camping areas and supports groups who are looking for the more traditional style of camping i.e. under canvas and wood fires. There are altar fires situated around the perimeter of the field with numerous trees giving shelter and some privacy from neighbouring groups. 

 

There are 2 open fronted shelters available to campers. Flat areas between the sites are suitable for games and/or troop marquees. A water point is in the centre of the field.

How to find the campsite: 

From Shipley take the A6038 sign posted Otley & Ilkley. After crossing the River Aire the road bears to the right. At next traffic lights (filtered) keep left and follow the road up the hill to Baildon. At the round-a-bout go straight ahead and you will shortly (after a cattle grid) reach the moor. Keep on this road, down a steep hill, until the road narrows. Keep a sharp lookout for a lane on your left, this is Sconce Lane. Follow the lane to the campsite.
