What customers say
Top spot! Families rave about spotless facilities, lovely staff & views. Cafe's a winner too. Animal paddocks and play area are a hit. A few mention patchy comms & uneven pitches.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Brilliant site, great location, immaculate facilities and so friendly.
Powered gravel caravan site
Liked Everything! The cafe is really good - didn't eat this time but the food looked amazing and the cakes did too. They are trying really hard and succeeding - such a friendly site - wonderful views too. Everywhere was immaculate - great place for families and those without children alike. Lots to see ad do around the area too. We will definitely be back.

Liked This site is well laid out and is very peaceful. Facilities are clean and easily reached. Booking was easy and everyone we had contact with was friendly and helpful.
Disliked Nothing to dislike on this site. Wifi would be useful but is probably difficult in such a rural location.

From the manager: We thank you for the positive comments in this review and are proud of our customer service and facilities. We are a little confused why the comments "like" the position, but have only scored 3 out of 5 for location and that there was nothing disliked but we only have an overall rating of 6 out of 10, which is much less than the majority of our ratings.
Great place to spend time with the family

Liked Lovely welcome from Jackie. Very helpful, beautiful scenery and quiet. Facilities were the nicest and cleanest I’ve ever seen on a campsite. The cafe on site did a lovely breakfast. And we even took some cake away. Even having an older child a lap around the animals and walk was nice. Thank you for a great stay. Great location for Danny harts bike park and hamestley forest
