What customers say
A ripper, chill campsite by the River Wharfe, with cracking views and Dales Way access. Poms rave about the friendly owners, clean amenities, and laid-back vibe. Spotty phone signal and a few more loos when busy are the only downsides. A true hidden gem for nature lovers and hikers, most want to come back!

Liked Beautiful location right next to the River Wharfe with the warmest welcome from the most friendly people. A very low key campsite with minimal impact on surrounding areas. Just perfect. We will definitely be back very soon

Excellent site in nature with lovely owners
Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked Lovely spacious campsite with beautiful views and direct access to the Dalesway footpath and river banks.
The owners are lovely and helpful and seem to really care about not overcrowding the site. Toilets very clean.
Disliked Although not essential, we had absolutely no signal on phones. It just meant driving to Bolton Abbey to try speak to family on the phone.

Liked Lovely and peaceful campsite. You can see and hear lots of wildlife from here. Sit back and relax, or go for a walk along the footpath that is easy accessible from the campsite. Along the footpath you can also go for a paddle in the river. Perfect place for kids to explore and a it's run by a friendly family.

Liked What a lovely place to camp.
I booked for 2 nights. Friday was their 1st night of starting their journey hosting a campsite. Lovely couple with a young family along with grandma running the show.
I think they'll do well.
They made the effort in making sure everyone was ok and comfortable.
There are 2 fields, I parked up in the 2nd one looking over the river on the Dales Way pathway. Stunning views, listening to the water, birds, sheep and general farming sounds.
I enjoyed a walk along the Dales Way, checking out the stepping stones next to the huts leading to Appletreewick. Then rejoined the walkway to Burnsall along Skuff Road to Thorpe a beautiful little village.
I took a hike on the Barden Moor and fell up along Thorpe Fell, Burnsall Fell back to Howgill. The hike took 6hrs and the views where amazing.
I would definitely recommend this site to camp. I will be revisiting. Thank you Steven and Lottie for your beautiful surroundings.
Disliked I think they may need another set of Toilets and a shower as once the site is full the 2 toilets and 1 shower won't be enough.
Other than that nothing.

Liked I loved the peace and space this campsite has to offer. Run by a young couple who really want to make it work, both lovely and down to earth. Felt like a real hidden gem on opening weekend!
