4. Cozy yurt on Calderdale Way (from USD 49)
Relish the tranquility and fresh country air with valley views in this cozy yurt on Calderdale Way near Gaddings Dam. Do note that the camping ground is built on top of a field making it a difficult climb for the physically challenged. There are train tracks below the field, so you will hear the occasional trains passing by with the natural sounds of a working farm.
The yurt is cozy for couples and equipped for long-term stays doing nothing. You can lie on the king-size bed all day and stare at the blue skies through the hole in the ceiling. There’s a coal-fed fireplace to keep the interiors warm and a small dining and kitchen area where you can have simple meals. A few steps away is an outhouse featuring the bathroom.
On a clear day, it is perfect to grill barbecues on the deck while watching the farm sheep being herded on the field. You may get an occasional visit from the resident cat named Moustaches.
