Liked 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.

Disliked 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)

Liked 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

Disliked 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.

Liked Lovely views, site a short walk from settle

Disliked 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

Liked 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.

Disliked 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 .

Liked Lovely flat site with good provision of water and portaloos.

Disliked The toilet block ran out of paper and the quiet times weren't enforced.

Liked Clear effort to try and stay on top of a good toilet/shower block, the amount of open space, respectful other campers, location was close to town but far enough too!
