Akebar Park

Stayed here for 2 night and 3 days. I must say that I was very impressed with the site. We stayed in out new tent to try it out before next season hence the short stay.
The campsite is immaculate and very well maintained, grass pitch was very leave and there was plenty of room between pitches. The facilities are fantastic, plenty of toilets and showers with hot running water and also in a warm environment. The showers, toilets and washing areas were kept very clean and tidy.
There is a big playing area for the kids which is away from the main pitches so no issues with stray balls etc. We had a walk around the site when we got there and there are plenty of things to look at. The kids soon were of on their own adventures finding routes around the site and bridges over the streams.
We also had a walk up to the pub which had a roaring log fire to keep us warm. Helpful staff and felt very wlecoming.
Overall we were very happy with the site and will be returning in the summer holidays next year.

My only recommendation would be for a larger shop stocking more camping supplies and food, and of course gas supplies for us tent users :)

The facilities. We arrived late but the warden greeted us and we enjoyed a few drinks in the local bar x

Clean toilet and shower facilities. Good play area for the kids (7 and 2).

Motorhome pitches could have been hard standing, but drainage was good on the grass. Free wifi was very slow, limited mobile reception (Vodafone good, EE non-existent)

Quietness!!

Nothing, need plugs at washing up sinks

Dog walking space the pub the scenery

Facilities block really clean and warm excellent kids play area and a stream for them to paddle in

–

Flat pitches, electric hook up, bar / restaurant reasonably priced for drinks

No shop for essentials, tea, coffee, sugar etc, WiFi not working, lighting, a bit far away from anywhere to visit

We enjoyed the location. The toilet and shower facilities were brilliant, clean and very well maintained. The pub was lovely and food amazing.

It's a really pretty site, and the pitches are a great size. The park is great for kids, our 7 year old son loved it, and made friends. The wash blocks were really warm which was great., showers were hot (push button, but last a while) The Friars Head pub is a really pretty pub, and serves great ale. The garden is great for kids to run around and has seats outside for dry days.
It's in a great location for exploring Yorkshire.

The toilet blocks were a bit tired and grubby, bins not emptied. Also someone reviewed it and said that the soap dispensers were in an odd spot, and I read that and thought how bizarre......nope they are really in an odd spot, only 2 dispensers stuck at one end.
We ate in the Friars Head and thought it was a bit expensive for the actual food served, nothing to shout our about.
If arriving at dusk as we did, the tent pitch numbers are a bit hard to spot on the floor, we were directed to the last pitch on the map, but we ended up on an overflow pitch, there was an extra one, the warden though was very friendly when he told us, and we stayed on that pitch which was good as it was further from a large group who were a bit noisy at night.
There are A LOT of mobile homes on site, more than it shows on the website, and does give it a bit of a lived in feel, with lots of regulars staying on site.
One thing I did find odd and have never experienced on other sites, we were charged to freeze our ice blocks, 10p a block. Small thing but odd.

Wash facilities, very well kept
Pitch SA16, would like it again next time(!)
