Vom Platzbetreiber: Thanks for the fab review

Positiv Lovely campsite which was nice and clean. We took our 4 and 6 year old and they really enjoyed the site
There was a little communal kitchen area although we didn’t end up using it, it was nice to know it was there

Positiv The bus was so different it made a real change to the usual camping. Hot tub great, bathroom on the bus compact but very clean. Beds comfortable, tv connected to the internet. Friendly staff, email sent to ask what time we would like the hot tub to be ready for.

Negativ No shop on site, the cafe does sell a few bits but it was not open when we arrived as it closes when check in starts. Cob webs and spiders all over the bedrooms and no curtains for the bunk beds.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thanks for the revue, we have essentials in cafe reception like spare tent pegs, long life milk but for more daily items encourage using the village shop or a short drive to Masham or Ripon.

Positiv Location, facilities, friendly staff

Negativ A little too busy for us this time. We have visited previously and it was probably just the time of year. We will just book at a different time when returning

Positiv The staff were amazing and made us feel very welcome. They were well informed of local issues with roadworks and also where to eat.
Recognised it being our first time but wasn't patronising with information. We loved our stay!
Great facilities too!

Positiv Good facilties as is to be expected for the price. Showers and toilets where great, clean, spacious and warm. The auto-stop on the shower was bit of a p**s take, turns itself off every 3-5 seconds! Nothing a strategically placed zip tie wouldn't solve, tho.

I like the idea of having a kitchen open to campers, used the kettle to pre-boil my water and save on camping gas.

My daughter loved the miniature ponies.

There is a raw milk centre machine close by, which is fantastic.

Negativ Not the campsite's fault at all - but because there are a lot of electric pitches, it tends to attract a larger number of motorhome and caravan campers. I think I was the only tent camper on site.

As I was setting up my pitch, a family in a VW camper van next door was watching us out their window the whole time - bit weird but not an issue, I guess they're just bored and wanted something to look at out the window. I just pitched our tent with the opening facing away from them.

However, in the morning, a totally different motorhome camper groupsopposite my pitch were all sitting in a U shape facing my pitch, watching as I dismantled my tent, cooked breakfast, and tidied up etc - no privacy was afforded at all, they even were passing comments (nothing negative) about our setup. We ere being watched the large group of middle-aged motorhome campers the entire morning, from the moment we left the tent to the moment we left. I couldn't wait to get out of there. I suppose there is no rule against just sitting around spectating and commenting on another family's camping trip, but not something I signed up for, or would choose to experience again.

I would go again in a heartbeat, but I would try to separate myself from the non-tent campers as it was a bit of a weird experience, and not something I expected.
