Lovely Campsite
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Lovely, peaceful campsite with clean and well-maintained facilities. It was quiet and relaxing — exactly what we were looking for. We had a great trip and would definitely come back. Thank you.
Little gem

Liked Excellent location , close to Fountains abbey , plus loads of footpaths for quiet walks . Toilet and shower kept clean and checked throughout the day . Fire pits available with logs as well for decent price . Owner checking in on everyone to see if all ok and no issues . Nice to watch the sunset over the fields .

Liked Peaceful spot overlooking the Fountains Abbey. Lots of space to spread out and the dog had a wonderful time. Very clean toilets but I didn't try the shower. The best phone signal of the whole trip. Definitely recommend for those who like off grid camping.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked The field was spacious with plenty of room for people to camp away from other campers while staying near the toilet block.
The toilets did what they needed to do and access to water was always available. The fire pits came in handy mid way through a very rainy stay.
Disliked The only downside was that though it says cold water showers i didn't fully comprehend how cold until I stood under it. I had brain freeze before the conditioner went in haha. Although I can imagine it's lovely on a hot day
