What customers say
This cracking Yorkshire Dales spot boasts cracking views & top-notch facilities. Campers rave about the ripper staff, spacious sites, and heaps of local walks. Most sites have bonza views thanks to the terraced setup. Alpacas add a bit of charm! Minor gripes: road noise, tricky access for big rigs, and slowish WiFi.

Liked Really enjoyed my stay here, lovely location with easy access to the Dales Way for walking. The onsite facilities were immaculate and the shop was very useful given there was nowhere else nearby. The staff I interacted with were very friendly and helpful. Nice views over the valley from the pitches, which were a good size and tiered so your view was never blocked by other campers. It was quiet in the evenings and I had no disturbances during my stay, even though the site was reasonably busy. Access is by a dirt road which I hadn't realised, however thankfully it wasn't too rough, but something to be conscious of if you're arriving on two wheels. I'd highly recommend the Craven Arms in Appletreewick (about a 30 minute) walk if you're looking for a good pub nearby.
Disliked I enjoy a good campfire as much as anyone, but I found the number of fires made the site very smokey in the evenings. There was also regularly a smell of sewage wafting over the site, none of the toilet blocks smelt so not sure where it was coming from. As there's no phone service at the site the Wifi is a bit of a life line, but it was extremely unreliable and clearly over stretched by the number of visitors during my stay.

Fantastic site
Powered grass tent site (medium)
Liked Excellent site, couldn't fault it, facilties spot less, good pitch sizes, bonus of having WiFi with the phone signal been bad. Definitely staying again.
If you have little ones its definitely worth visiting Billy Bobs, delicious food and the children can play, definitely book in advance and the play barn shuts at 5.30pm so we had a play before our booked meal time. Go on an empty stomach.
