An Unforgettable Adventure Caving & Camping Expedition in Yorkshire
Take your caving adventure to the next level with How Stean Gorge’s Cave Camping Expedition.
Explore the depths of the cave system before spending a night underground, just like world-record holder Geoff Workman did in Stump Cross Caverns but with a few added comforts!
This cave camping expedition is designed for adventurers who want to go beyond the usual outdoor activities. You’ll explore deep into the cave system, tackling challenging routes before setting up camp in Sand Cavern, where it’s a constant, comfortable 10°C. Instead of worrying about rain or putting up a tent, you’ll enjoy the shelter of the caves—nature’s own ready-built bothies.
All your camping gear, meals, and equipment are provided, so all you need to bring is your sleeping bag, mat, and pillow. After completing your underground adventure, relax and look forward to a full English breakfast waiting for you in the Stump Cross Café. By the end of this caving expedition, you’ll leave both muddy and proud, having experienced one of the most unique camping experiences in the Yorkshire Dales.
