See all facilities…Westholme Estate sit on their very own stretch of riverbank overlooking the undulating green hills and happy valleys of the Yorkshire Dales.
The site, which recently enjoyed an £8 million facelift, is a pretty deluxe affair: within landscaped woodland glades, and there are top notch facilities on site. The estate is a fisherman’s fantasy, enjoying fishing rights on its own section of Bishopdale Beck, so there should be plenty of opportunity to go home with some tall tales.
The genteel estate restaurant serves up an excellent selection of nosh at lunch and dinnertime, and there’s also a comfy bar and lounge where you can relax with a coffee (or something a bit stronger).
Perfectly-behaved pooches are permitted on site, but must of course be kept on their diamante leads.
Nearby attractions and activities
It goes without saying that there are also loads of hiking opportunities: the Yorkshire Dales National Park is renowned among ramblers, and those seeking the Holy Trail flock here every year to walk the Pennine Way.
Visitors who are looking for a more leisurely stroll can take a ten minute walk to the cascading Aysgarth Falls, or pootle down to the chocolate box village of West Burton to stock up on provisions and sample the local Black Sheep Ale or a genuine Yorkshire pud.
If you can drag yourself away from the perfect peace of the estate, there is plenty to see a bit further afield, including many great heritage sites: a short drive will take you to the beautiful and tranquil ruins of Fountains Abbey, or to imposing Bolton Castle, built in 1399 by Richard le Scrope. Cheese aficionados can make a pilgrimage to the Wensleydale Creameries to get their hands on some of Wallace and Gromit’s favourite Wensleydale cheese. Classic Yorkshire market towns like Grassington and Hawes are not far away, and each has its own National Park Centre where you can find out more about the area and buy local crafts and souvenirs.

Fab Weekend in a Pod! Caroline S. (Family with young children, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: We loved the idea of "camping with lights and a heater" as we have 3 yr old and and 5 month old and it was our first time as we would normally stay in a lodge. The site itself was lovely and we enjoyed dinner at Hendersons on site both nights as it turned cooler, so wasn't bbq weather as we had hoped! We were with friends also and we all agreed the hosts ... Disliked: Like all the other reviews the toilet block wasn't great but it was certainly useable and I have seen worse! |

Pod Stay, Sept 2012 Mavsteriom (Young couple, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: Lovely site. Quite. Lovely surroundings. Disliked: Nothing. I know people have said about the dated toilet block and some toilets etc not being in use. However, I can understand why not all units are available if there are only a limited number of people using them i.e people staying in 6 pods, as the rest of the site has lodges with their own facilities. Suppose this cuts down on cleaning etc. Mind you, this is a moot point now if ... |

Liked: POD clean and warm. Good area for walking, local hostelry which was dog friendly Disliked: Wash rooms had taps that were jammed, locks broken on washroom doors. On site restaurant was not dog friendly and only sold a'la carte food, bit strange as it was empty nearly the whole night, local pub served good food and was full. |

Liked: could not fault this site - we stayed in a family pod which was adequate but a tad small for sleeping in. very clean and fresh. Disliked: Not big pod issues but the pods were not very well lit and although ok the toilets/showers needed some tlc as some of the taps did not work and a little grubby overall - but good by most camp sites standards |

Stayed in the family sized pods. Me the wife and daughter. More than big enough Chris A. (Family with young children, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?

Liked: This was our first time camping in a pod instead of our normal tent and it was fantastic, they are warm, peaceful and the view in the morning was amazing!! Disliked: The only thing to dislike is that from September the pods will no longer be available, as they are getting rid of them. |

2 night stay in a camping pod michael _m (Family with young children, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: The camping pod was fantastic and value for money. I now prefer the pod to tenting as there is little or no chance of being wet and cold if the weather is bad. The location was stunning and central for most of the attractions in the North of England. Disliked: The shower blocks were dated and didn't fit with the modern lodges, caravans and pods. |

Pod camping fun Julie K. (With friends, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: the location of the pods and its site at westholme estate. cleanliness was good, staff very friendly and helpful. tap outside each pod as well as heater, sockets and lighting inside pod. only short walk to shower block Disliked: the shower block is very tired, needs updating, no soap provided and only 3 toilets working, showers not great although alternative was offered for stays over one night in the disabled showers in main reception block. if they revamped showers would give it top marks. |

Liked: The pods were clean, tidy and faultless. As was the surroundings, restaurant and bar area. Disliked: Toilets were beyond disgusting, it would really not have taken very much to make they usable however the money has obviously been spent on the lodges because there are only 5 pods using the toilet facilities. They were not even clean, out of 10 toilets 3 were usable however only 1 had toilet paper. We asked for soap however they were unable to provide it. I will not be going again because of the appalling ... |

Very enjoyable short break in a camping pod janice b. (Family with young children, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: The pod was clean and cosy and the kids (aged 5 & 7) thought it was a real adventure staying in a pod. The site was lovely and peaceful and had a basic park for the children. It has a bar and restaurant on site which were nice (drinks a reasonable price). The area around the site is beautiful, with Aysgarth falls just a 10 minute walk away and a couple of pubs also in easy ... Disliked: The drinks in the bar/restaurant on site were a reasonable price but we didn't eat there as the menu was a bit expensive for a family with young kids and the choice was limited (especially for the children) |

Quirky stay in a camping pod Jane S. (Mature couple, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: The pod was an enjoyable way to camp without all the hassle of pitching your own tent, it was warm and suitable for a camp bed and two chairs. Disliked: The down side is as it is for all cmaping trips- having to go to the toilet block ! However it is not too far to walk |

A perfect summer evening spent glamping in Yorkshire. It was my partners first foray into camping, hence i thought introducing him gradually via a night in a pod might be best. He loved it. The campsite is small, quiet and peaceful. Sallyann M. (Mature couple, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?

Lovely location, friendly staff Sarah W. (Young couple, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: The pods are great! Warm and convenient, good area for sitting outside (the weather was very nice to us for February!). Disliked: The showers, toilets and washing up area aren't as up to date as the rest of the site but are clean and perfectly usable. The hot water was very hot but I suspect the mild weather contributed. |

POD CAMPING ned180 (Family with young children, 1 review, 0 photos)
Liked: We stayed in a POD and it was fantastic. The heater maybe small but it keeps the pod very warm (i had to turn it off on the saturday night and it was very windy and rainey outside), it also has a small lamp. The reception and restuarant/bar on arrival were friendly and helpful and we booked a table for the friday night they had a set menu and we opted for 3 courses ... Disliked: The shower block was very dated and very big this could do with a re design although clean and tidy. i did find no toilet paper on sunday morning which was a problem as the reception didnt open till 10am. |

Stayed in a POD samantha_p (Young couple, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: We both loved the Westholme Site and the Pod was fantastic, it takes camping to a whole new level, it was comfortable and warm. Disliked: The toilets and showers are in need of an upgrade, however, they are clean, with hot running water and given that they have already gone through a massive transformation on the site, its a case of possibly the last thing to upgrade and nothing to be concerned about. |
