Electric grass touring pitch
Liked: The view over the open countryside
Disliked: How many caravans were cramped in together. To empty the toilet and to dispose of rubbish the only elson and bins where located at the top of the hill next to the pub which meant you have to carry/pull heavy items a distance. The elson point also had steps to climb up to dispose the contents, which again was awkward with a full case. The electricity also kept tripping off and which meant numerous calls to the pub to get it put back on - the owner of the site was not very helpful or courteous when was called to advise that electricity had gone back off again. When used the hand dryer in the toilet block this also tripped the electricity off in the toilet block - would have expected this to be on a different electricity to those used by the caravans.

Liked: The views
Disliked: Unfortunately we won’t be in again, the grass pitches are to close together, dogs not on leads which really should be clearly signed hence dog poo in lots off areas . The toilets are not cleaned daily , there was no sign off this and it was a bank holiday , two showers is not enough

Liked: Early in season so had choice of pitches which are a good size, need levellers as field slopes. Quiet, peaceful site during the week.
Various walks from campsite but you do need a map or OS app as some footpaths rarely used! Easy walk into Masham.
We walked each day and totalled over 30 miles. We were able to walk to Masham, Druids Temple (very good cafe) along with Masham again, and on the last day Jervaulx Abbey passing Brymor ice cream parlour on the way, a perfect stop! Cafe not open at Jervaulx!
The walk to Jervaulx Abbey was the least travelled which included having to climb 2 fences as no footpath access, a hard dry ploughed field and an interesting route through a wood - under and over branches to avoid a boggy area! But the scenery was beautiful, we saw and heard numerous birds.
Our first trip away this year. Yorkshire is a beautiful county and the beer in this area is epic and well earned after a long walk.
Disliked: Owner not the friendliest! Told us where we could park but no other info.
Pub open limited hours - had to look on website. Need to book for food at weekend.
In the campsite information on pitchup it says walk information available from pub - no, we were told it’s online only.
I don’t think the toilet block was cleaned while we stayed (4 nights).
On the saturday, the last night of a lovely peaceful stay someone was playing music until 4am!!! A shame when you have a long drive home.

Liked: Lovely little campsite. We were greeted on arrival by the owner who showed us to our pitch giving us an option of the sunny side or the shady side as we had dogs.
The site is small but had everything we needed. The pub onsite was ideal after a long day of walking and exploring the Yorkshire Dales. The food was lovely.
I was worried with only two showers in the ladies block that we would struggle to get a shower on the Saturday as it was bank holiday weekend and most pitches were full, but it wasn’t a problem. We stayed 4 nights and I only waited two minutes at most for a shower. Most mornings I walked straight in no waiting.
Toilet block was clean and facilities fine.
We would be happy to return.
Disliked: Nothing all good.
