Em va agradar Friendly, easy going approach to getting sorted for the site. Facilities were good. Kids loved the owner delivered fire pit on a quad bike

Em va agradar Great site in a perfect location. We stayed next to the river and sound of the water was so therapeutic. Settle is a short walk away with plenty to do. Some great more challenging walks nearby too.

No em va agradar Main toilet block can be a bit of a walk away if you don't want to use portaloos (which got very smelly very quickly)

Em va agradar Location - 15-20 min into town and near many good walks.
Hot shower.
It could be a great site if they marked up some pitches and added some more facilities.
Check in was easy and owner was friendly enough

No em va agradar We booked this campsite hoping for a peaceful weekend in the countryside. What we got was apparently an audition for Lord of the Flies: The Camping Edition.

From the moment we arrived, it was clear that site rules were more of a gentle suggestion than anything actually enforced. We nearly turned around at the entrance after being greeted by a very large group who had created what looked like a traveler's camp who seemed to have mistaken the campsite for a music festival. Loud music blasted across the site while their kids on electric bikes zipped around in every direction, creating all the tranquility of a supermarket car park on Christmas Eve.

Dogs were another adventure. Many were allowed off their leads and wandered freely between pitches, often interrupting campers who were simply trying to eat or relax. On several occasions, small children were walking dogs off leash right up to other campers and their tethered dogs who were clearly stressed.

The toilet facilities were also somewhat optimistic for the number of people on site. The men's block had just two seated toilets. To be fair, they were reasonably clean on Friday, but by Sunday they looked as though they'd been through a particularly difficult weekend.

The lack of supervision of children was equally impressive. Some parents appeared to embrace a free-range approach, allowing their children to roam wherever they pleased. We witnessed two children run straight into another camper's van, only for their mother to respond by loudly abusing the van owners. Not content with that, she later stopped while driving off the site to verbally abuse the campers whose van her children had invaded some more. A memorable farewell, if nothing else. Credit to those who were on the receiving end as we wouldn't have been so calm.

Overall, the campsite seemed to suffer from a complete lack of management and rule enforcement. If you're looking for peace, quiet, and consideration from fellow campers, you may want to keep looking. If, however, you're after loud music, roaming dogs, unsupervised children, and a healthy dose of chaos, you'll feel right at home. Sadly, we won't be returning.

Em va agradar Lovely views, site a short walk from settle

No em va agradar Think we landed on a bad weekend, the field was packed, a group of around 40 then arrived and created a compound of sorts, children running everywhere, dogs off lead running around, running up to campers and other dogs that were tired up making it difficult for owners abiding the rules to manage trying to eat their food, a smell of weed in the air, children running in other people's tents and parents becoming abusive when asked to remove their child, toilets blocked , as really as you can see it is a lovely site

Em va agradar Great site close to settle town centre and lovely walks
Owner helpful and on hand , spacious campsite and in a quiet area , lots of shade if required under trees . Would stay again.

No em va agradar Unfortunately lots of dogs running around untethered (we brought our dog but he was tethered at all times on a long line ) unruly children allowing their dogs upto and into anyone else’s tent / awning and upto others dogs . Can’t pick your fellow camp mates but to the ones who abided by the rules of keeping dogs on leads it was made a bit stressful .

Em va agradar Loads of space for pitching - no fuss, the owner doesn't interfere or micro-manage. Location is a great base for exploring Settle and surrounds - Settle/train is in walking distance for example. Big open fields, choose a spot, spread out, great. Cheap. Really quiet mid-week.

Showers are okay and I guess it's pretty good value so I would stay again - but probably would avoid weekends. There's additional porter loos so you don't need to walk far to main toilet block for a wee.

No em va agradar On Friday and Saturday it was really noisy and quite busy.

Q) What's more annoying than a loud scouser in the tent next to you who's drunk and won't shut-up?
A) A scouser and his geordie mates who won't shut up, singing, shouting etc.

Sign said no music after 10, but not policed.

A chavalanche on the far end of the field occurred as well - about a dozen vans with kids riding electric motorbikes all over - owner asked them to stop though which they kind of did.

I shouldn't complain too much because it was all friendly really/bit festival like/no genuine agro but not great if you're trying to sleep with kids which we were. Kids got quite upset etc.

Also the bins were completely overflowing and the water wasn't topped up in the porter loos. It'd be nice if you could recycle (there was a skip saying recycling but it was full of landfill anway.

Some noise from a nearby paper-mill and quite a lot of trucks to-ing and fro-ing nearby so not really that peaceful at times.
