Fabulous family-friendly camping, camp sites, caravan sites and youth hostels within an easy reach of Leeds, all tried out and recommended by Mumblers who have visited with their kids.

FAMILY-CAMPSITES-LEEDS

Nestled between Moor and Dale rests the award winning, luxury glamping destination, Camp Kátur.

Our guests enjoy the space that 300 acres provides only a short drive from Leeds, with children’s woodland kingdom park, outdoor gym and miles of trails and paths to explore through our forests. We have a large range of accommodation including lodges and geodomes, quirky bespoke getaways and hidden forest gems to make your own woodland adventures and relax in comfort. Many of our hideaways enjoy hot tubs, stargazing ceilings and fire pits to gather the family around and toast those marshmallows as the sun goes down.

Our onsite pub is the perfect place to hunker down in front of the roaring fire with a glass of fizz and our Dark Sky Friendly status means we get the most stunning night panoramas of stars that you can enjoy from deck, tub, bed or hammock. Also at the heart of the estate, our range of bookable ‘experiences’ mean that you can leave your kids safely with our team of Rangers who run a range of Bushcraft workshops, including Den Building and Fire Making, whilst you grab some down time on your own and recharge.

Stay and Explore.

There is something for everyone at Hatfield Outdoor Activity Centre in Doncaster, the number one place for those seeking fun in the great outdoors! 

We host a range of water-based activities on our very own lake, including kayaking, canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding. We also have an inflatable Aquapark, which has recently expanded and will soon be open for bookings from May 19th 2023. You can also enjoy a swim in our natural lake pool, the newest addition to our growing number of water activities.

For those who prefer to stay dry, you can challenge yourself to reach new heights on our 14-metre-high climbing wall; we have plenty of aerial challenges and obstacle courses for you to complete off the ground. If you prefer to keep your feet on the ground, you can find your thrills at an axe-throwing or archery session. You can learn how to throw axes at a target and how to use a bow safely. Awe-throwing is available to book now and archery will be available very soon.

All our sessions, both water and land, are taught by experienced instructors in a safe and welcoming environment. For anyone wishing to extend their visit and wake to another exciting day of activities, we have a campsite too.

It had an ace indoor pool and a really good outdoor play area. It’s also ten minutes from Filey beach, which is the perfect seaside for tiny people due to its size.
