What customers say
Top spot! Brilliant facilities, heaps of room, and a cracking Dales location for exploring. Toilets and showers are spotless, staff are super friendly. Handy shop, fire pits, dog field, and weekend tucker. Nice and quiet, most folks are back again soon!

Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked I stayed in my small camper van on a grass electric pitch. It is the second time I have stayed at this campsite. The site is well arranged, clean, tidy and it's the second lovely welcome I have received on check-in. The clean and tidy includes the toilets, showers and washing up area. It really is the top end of sites I have stayed at in the past. The first time I stayed was with my partner and this most recent time I stayed by myself.
Disliked Nothing.

Liked a great quiet site. toilet blocks spotless.
Disliked would be good to have a final point for children like a play park. but that's maybe not the market they are aiming for. no big issue though.

Beautiful Site
Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site
Liked I booked this place last minute as the one we'd chosen wasn't available. This site is amazing, one of the best I have seen. Very large pitches. Plenty of space for camper, awning without even going on the grass area. It was a shame we had to cut our trip short due to a family emergency. Attention to detail is good. Two toilet blocks and showers and porta loos. Very high standard and kept spotlessly clean. There's about 12 pot wash sinks. A dog wash. The pitches have their own water supply and Electric hookup. Massive enclosed dog field for your furry friends. Very reasonable prices as well. We will definitely be returning.
Disliked Nothing

Camping pod

Disliked The pods have residuals of mold and webs which could cause allergies.

Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site
Liked Nice clean site. Spacious pitches. Walks were sign posted. Toilets were really clean and I loved how the music was playing regardless of what the time was - really strange coming from the quietness of outside into Lady Gaga blaring inside lol. Loved that. Loved how they came round asking everyone if they wanted a fire pit. Each plot has it's own picnic bench. Free Wifi which worked well.
Disliked There's not much going on within walking distance so we had to keep driving to go and get a pub lunch. I think there is one pub which is said to be 25 mins walk away but they were fully booked anyway so it was a good job we didn't walk it. Recommend ringing places first to make sure they have availability.
My only dislike with the site was there was no lighting at night so unless you have a torch, it is really difficult to make your way around. It looks like they are putting plans in place for this though, I could see posts at the end of each pitch with wiring so may be there will be lights ?????

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us this detailed review.
We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the site and all the facilities that we have to offer our guests at present. We are constantly looking to improve our guests experiences and the music in the loos is certainly popular with our campers.
We do hope you don't leave it too long to come back and visit us and do be sure to book into The Gamecock in good time as its extremely popular.
