Positiv My tiny caravan had a puncture before I arrived so I opted for tent this time.

It was a lovely small site nestled in the hills, very relaxed and had most things I needed.
There had been a pop up cafe and bar in the mill next to the site over the weekend but I missed this.

The roads to the site were very windy and often single lane; next time with the caravan I'd make sure I planned my route beforehand to avoid most of these.

It's virtually on the Pennine Way and Brontë way so lots of walking from the site. It was beautiful at this time of year with the heather in bloom.

Negativ No obvious hot water for washing up.

Positiv Beautiful location, camping beside the little stream with the gentle burble of water is very idyllic. It’s a quiet spot and a small enough site you likely won’t be disturbed. My motorcycle felt secure and I was able to camp near it. The popup cafe was good with proper homemade cakes.

Negativ The facilities are very basic, the gents lacked hot water and what little soap was available on Saturday was gone by Monday. Definitely bring your own soap or wet wipes. Only one male toilet could also mean queues in the morning.
Wifi stopped working on the first evening.

Positiv Beautiful site by the river, a very friendly guy talked us through our pitch options.
Clean loos and shower, and level pitches

Negativ Didn't feel very welcome by the lady in the office and was over charged. Once I realised I had been over charged I emailed Ponden Mill requesting a refund, I have not received a response.

Be careful if you walk up to the nearest Pub, the road is quite dangerous for walkers.

Positiv Flat pitches.
Clean ladies toilet
Lovely area and a very friendly cat.
Spoke to the male owner who was nice and friendly.

Negativ Midges, although by the water so to be expected these were relentless and had to leave after one night due to us all being bit so much (even with repellant) The images made it look like plenty of room for tents when infact right next to each other. The washing up area was not clean and was blocked/very slow draining due to food.

Positiv Lovely spot with nice views. Friendly staff. Nice shower. (It is interesting on this website that you do not have an option in the review- you have to write about what you liked, but 'disliked' is optional....)

Negativ There were a great many campers using the one sink with one (working) (cold) tap. The other sink had a broken tap, and the first sink seemed to drain into it, so it was filthy every time we went to wash up. There were taps around the campsite, but they were not working.

Positiv Beautiful spot by the river with lovely views. Pitches were nice and level but ground was really hard so you will need rock pegs if you're putting up an awning. Some lovely walking in the area.

Negativ Could do with more mens toilets as only one for whereas there are three women's toilets.
Shower was nice but floor was dirty so hard to keep clean after. Easily solved by providing a mop and bucket so campers can give it a quick swish after using.

Positiv Lovely friendly place and the views are great. The lady who brought the breakfasts round and spoke to all the campers on her way round is a lovely touch. The walks around the area are really good and The Silent Inn pub close by was much better than some of the reviews it gets.

Negativ Nothing
