Curly Hill Campsite & Centre

Curly Hill Campsite & Centre is a Scout-operated outdoor facility set on approximately four acres of wooded slopes in the Wharfe Valley, overlooking Ilkley Moor and the landmark Cow & Calf Rocks.

Managed by Wharfedale Scouts and situated at 114 Curly Hill, Middleton, it sits surprisingly close to Ilkley town centre while offering a genuine countryside feel with opportunities for wildlife encounters.

The site contains several discrete camping areas within the woodland, along with a hostel-style indoor centre providing separate accommodation.

It is available to members and affiliates of the Scout and Guide Movements, as well as youth organisations, schools, charities, and community groups — but does not accept bookings from the general public.

The campsite is widely used for Duke of Edinburgh expeditions and introductory outdoor adventure activities, drawing groups from across the Wharfe Valley and beyond.
