What customers say

Great, friendly park with spacious sites & top-notch, clean facilities (heated showers!) and a popular cafe. Lovely rural views, close to towns. Most loved it, though some mentioned facility queues at busy times and outside noise occasionally.

Powered grass site

Liked Loved it all. Rustic, beautiful site and countryside. You can tell the owners are campers.... everything has been thought of....freezers/fridges/coffee/cafe/hot tubs/toilets & showers clean and very very friendly staff. The ladies in the cafe were brilliant and I met the owners son (I think) most helpful. We will be back.

Unpowered grass site

Liked Stayed here with my husband and 3 children for 3 nights tuesday to friday. We loved it, plenty of room to pitch up and really impressed with the facilities. We used the little kitchen area to charge our phones abd the showers were lovely and hot. We rented a fire pit for £15 and that kept us lovely and cosy at night. We went out to lightwater valley one day and had a few drinks along the local. Will definitely be coming back to try the hot tubs.

Unpowered grass site

Liked Clean site, cafe was convenient, friendly guests, lots to do nearby

Disliked Not the campsites fault but local pub wasn't friendly, local shop was closed, chippy is only open at weekends so we did have to drive out to get food.

From the manager: Thanks for the feedback about “us” but what’s around the site / locally is beyond our control.

Leaving a relatively low score because of this is a little unfair as it reduces our overall ratings

Powered grass site

Liked Everything! Great open pitches with lots of space, water taps as easy to reach as the electricity and the best shower & toilet block. The only place we went to where it was easy to get hot water to wash up too. Views are amazing, especially at night where the sky was full of stars. My grandson lay on the grass looking up for ages & his only issue was that he forgot his telescope! Play area for the kids, grassed area to walk the dogs, easy walk into the village which has a fab butchers (pub too but we went in the morning). Site also has a lovely cafe and the owner is a real gent. Staff are polite & helpful. Great site

Bus 3 bedroom static caravan (no pets)

Liked Wow what a friendly well kept and brilliantly run camp site.. we have been touring for the past few weeks and this place was amazing. Met by a friendly gentleman who showed us to our bus!! It was amazing… fully equipped, comfortable and such a fun experience. 4 adults and a 9yr and so much space to do everything needed. Bonus of a wood hot tub! Lovely bonus

Local attractions

Popular picks for gentle ambles around here include the pretty Himalayan Garden & Sculpture Park (10 minutes’ drive), the ancient ruins of Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal Water Gardens (15 minutes) and the elegant gardens of Newby Hall (25 minutes), which also has a miniature railway in case of tired legs. Sustenance for such outings and for evenings in can be acquired over at Masham’s Black Sheep Brewery (15 minutes), at Pateley Bridge’s Oldest Sweet Shop In The World (20 minutes) or with a stop for a top-notch tea at Betty’s in Harrogate (25 minutes). Continue the laidback theme of your break with a bimble around Brimham Rocks or a round at the local golf course (both 15 minutes). Alternatively, take the opposite approach to holiday antics and get the adrenaline properly pumping on the rides at Lightwater Valley Theme Park (15 minutes) – there are more low-key rides for kids here too, so it's likely to be a winner all round.
