What customers say
This small, friendly campsite offers spectacular 360-degree views of the Yorkshire Dales. Visitors consistently praise the immaculate, modern shower and toilet facilities, often described as hotel-standard. The owners are frequently highlighted as exceptionally welcoming, helpful, and attentive. Pitches are well-maintained and spaced. Minor points include occasional wind exposure due to elevation and a desire for more covered washing-up areas. Metered electricity is available.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked Beautiful location and amazing 360 degree views. Well kept site and luxurious bathrooms (with heated floors). Very friendly and welcoming hosts. Loved that electricity was metered rather than an arbitrary fixed cost extra applied like most other campsites. I think this is much fairer and certainly works out cheaper for us. Great that camp fires are allowed - one of the highlights of camping.
Overall, a fantastic campsite and with the in-train improvements (additional WC and washing up block) it'll be even more amazing.
We enjoyed it so much that we stayed another night, despite it being sub-zero!

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked Beautiful location, spacious pitches and immaculate bathrooms. Lauren and Charles were very welcoming and ensured we had everything we needed for our short stay. We look forward to visiting again. We didn’t use the WiFi but we were told it is free and superfast.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked Just home from an unusually good week of mostly sunshine and frost over NY. Great little campsite, with super helpful owners. well equipped with 2 warm modern shower rooms - just like home! Best thing for me was the fantastic views over the valley.
Disliked Leaving!

Despite my slight misgivings I'll definitely be returning again.
Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked The proprietors Lauren and Charles are such friendly and helpful people, they are the real selling point of the site. That and the outstanding area the site is situated in. My pitch was level and easy enough to place my caravan on, the electric hood up was nearby and the water and waste facilities weren't too far away either.
Disliked The 2 combination loo and shower rooms we're amazing with heated floors so we're nice when getting out of the shower etc. Only a small observation but the facilities may get very busy later during the summer season.
Also, again it's a personal observation. But log burning in fire pits etc around the site is permitted, even in a caravan it's difficult to avoid the burning smell at times. I didn't like that to be honest.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Wonderful site with flat pitches which remained firm through the rain we had, with easy car access and not a long walk between the tent and facilities building which has individual shower/loo rooms rather than shared, which were more luxurious and warm than the lodges I'd just stayed at! (construction had also just started on another set)
Charles was very welcoming and had great knowledge of local walks/views and places to drive out to, including a great tip about making sure to do the Pen-y-ghent walk anticlockwise to do the steep part first away from the sun and the gentle descent.
Still loads I want to see in the area, will do my best to make it back. Also shouldn't need to bring firewood, there was a pinned price list around where you could buy wood/kindling and also lots of farm products like eggs, beef and lamb.

Beautiful clean, welcoming site with great pitches and friendly owners
Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked By far the best site we’ve stayed on!
The toilet/shower facilities are incredible. Extremely clean, warm (which was a god send in the Novemebr rain) and welcoming.
The site is nice and small but the pitches are super spacious.
We had pitch 6 and the sun set and sun rise from there was beautiful.
Both owners couldn’t do enough for us and were very attentive and responsive to all queries we had.
We will be returning!
Disliked Nothing! Even in the wind and rain the site provided everything we needed.
