What customers say
This well-maintained site boasts exceptional facilities, including spotless toilet and shower blocks. Guests consistently praise the friendly and helpful staff, spacious pitches, and convenient on-site shop. The location is ideal for exploring the Yorkshire Dales, with numerous walking opportunities. While generally peaceful, some visitors noted occasional noise during busy periods. Paid showers are a minor point for some, but widely considered good value.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Great facilities Good site had a nice walk into Clapham which was a mixture or field and road to get there.
Disliked Toilets were average in cleanliness although it was busy so hard to keep on top of as there were a lot of people staying.
Sadly there was a group of kids and Parent who had no care for others vans and property as they continually played with every form of radio controlled vehicle some of which were fine but draw the line at a plane which kept hitting people and their vehicles.The Parent had no care so sadly neither did the kids they also ran a remote controlled buggy capable of very fast speeds knocking other children over and skidding stones which also hit cars and vans. Im no kill joy but I would of thought the management would of said something as my wife commented and was told to she was being grumpy after asking politely if they could move to the field provided and away from our vehicles which they hit on 2 separate occasions.
Sadly this put a downer on our stay and probably wouldnt come back for this reason alone. The site was great but try mid week and out of school holidays would be my advice if your a couple but for kids can't fault it

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Shower blocks and toilets clean and had a hair drier
Coffee machine was handy
Shop was reasonably priced

Disliked Noise it was really busy first night it appeared the children were excited and wouldn’t sleep but not the campsites fault.
No play area for children - I’d come back with my family although they’d appreciate a park/ games room of some sort.
No food Friday to order would be convenient to be able to order for once tent was up. We was motorcycles camping so packed basics
