Great location with spotless facilities.
Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked The location is great, in the goldilocks zone just far enough from the main road to feel away from it, but not so far that getting anywhere is a 20 minute trip down a single track road. A well stocked shop and easy, clear instructions upon arrival. The facilities where great, spotless toilets. Saturday night pizzas were fantastic. The football goal with a net was a massive bonus for my son.
Disliked The weather but there was nothing Orcaber could do about that unfortunately.

Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked Facilities were immaculate, excellent sized pitches in a gorgeous location. The food available was lovely and really reasonably priced. The enclosed dog walking area was perfect and the nice seated area next to the river was lovely. As someone who gre up at harness racing in Scotland it was a total highlight getting to watch them train on Sunday morning and show my daughter what I used to help do.
Disliked All things outwith the campsite (weather 🤣 mainly but the sun did shine on pack up which was helpful)

It sounds like you had a great time experiencing what we have to offer our guests and we love that your daughter was able to get an insight to what you used to do.
Glad to hear that the sun shone for you and we look forward to seeing you again in the not too distant future.

Great site, great surroundings and friendly staff.
Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site
Liked The facilities were super clean, pitches had plenty of space with each one having it's own picnic bench which was a great addition.
The shop was well stocked with dogs well catered for including dog ice cream.
The site is well placed for walking and cycling, as well as trips to nearby towns such as Settle and Skipton.
The pizza on a Saturday night was yummy.
There are fire pits on offer. We got one with a bag of kindling and was £8 total for our stay.
The showers are 50p but you get ample time and they are powerful and hot so more than happy to pay a bit extra.
Will definitely be returning.

We like to look after the fur kids (dogs) and its great to see the wagging tails when they get their ice cream which is proving very popular.
We look forward to seeing you on your next visit.

Liked Everything about the site
Clean, spacious, facilities are excellent, staff are really helpful
Disliked The only thing needs some attention or alternative thinking would be put the larger crowds together, or people who wish to be on a more quieter side can do.

Amazing clean site with a great location
Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked Lovely flat campsite with clean toilets and showers. Lovely trails nearby and all around it's in a fantastic location. The staff were also very friendly and the shop was priced the same as any other standard shop if not cheaper. The shop also sells common games and spare necessities if you need them.

All in all a lovely site but the clientele were an absolute disgrace!
Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked Lovely peaceful clean site, good facilities, situated in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales!
Disliked Lady in reception was very military with her rules re noise after 11 pm , driving speed etc., a little off putting to be honest!, not as friendly as we would have expected, no friendly chat upon arrival. Our first 24 hours were absolutely peaceful with beautiful walks and picturesque local villages ! Then on the Friday evening the site started to get very busy and the noise and mayhem started! Young families just leaving their children to their own defences while the adults totally did their own thing and leaving the children to hassle and play ball etc on everyone’s pitches around them constantly hitting out vans with balls etc., it turned out to be a nightmare! After 11 pm the adults carried on leaving the children to play ball etc holding torches! Overnight there had been many complaints lodged and a couple like ourselves were actually moved to another pitch, but the children were still bouncing balls etc off their van ? Also the site speed limit was certainly not adhered to ! Such a shame that people like this spoil it for others!
All in all a lovely site but the clientele were an absolute disgrace ! Such a shame for the site owners ! Maybe large groups shouldn’t be allowed!

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are pleased that you enjoyed the facilities that we have to offer here at Orcaber Farm.
Unfortunately, bar explaining the rules to our guests at check in stage we cannot then control how people choose to parent their children whilst staying on our site. We do not recall any complaints being lodged on the weekend you stayed with us and our wardens do a full site walkaround after 11pm so that any disruption can be quickly nipped in the bud.
We do hope to see you again in the future.

Excellent site with clean facilities, friendly staff and level pitches
Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked First time staying at Orcaber campsite and we're already booking back up to comeback. We both agree that this has been the best site we have stayed on. We stayed on an electric grass pitch, TE34 was a large size flat pitch, toilet and shower facilities we excellent and cleaned regularly. Our Labrador Leo rated the onsite dog wash and dog exercise field. Lots to do in the local area, we enjoyed doing some walks in the area via all trails, malham cove and Janets foss was a highlight on Sunday. The staff we friendly and helpful. Can't fault the site at all.
Disliked Nothing
