Liked Very relaxed campsite, social club was good with friendly residents. Shower room was ok with space to get dressed. Shower shacks were fun, although only one had hot water. Fellow campers were also great company.

Disliked The private road past the hard standing pitches was quite busy and at times noisy.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the campsite, the social club and the friendly company of both our residents and fellow campers. It's also great to know that you found the shower facilities spacious and enjoyed our unique shower shacks. We apologise that not all of the shower shacks had hot water during your stay and will ensure this is checked by our team. We appreciate your comments regarding the road traffic near the hardstanding pitches. While the road provides access for residents and visitors to the Estate, we understand that it can occasionally be busier than guests might expect. Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing to stay with us. We hope to welcome you back to Care Ashore soon. Best wishes from the Care Ashore Team

Liked Showers were roomy with a seat and hooks, water lovely and hot. Well attended facilities. Ice cream and chocolate vending machines were appreciated. Pitches were generous, lakes was an interesting addition, plenty of kids enjoying the fishing.

Liked Secluded pitches, excellent shower rooms, pub on site with good food and serving breakfast. Grass pitches had easy access to the gravel roadway. Warden was very helpful and friendly.

Liked Lots of space, great shower. Communal area was comfortable, especially with all the rain we had. Helen was very friendly.

Disliked Look where you are pitching, as the road is quite busy, pitches down the site are quieter.

Liked Well laid out pitches. Lovely full contained shower rooms, which were kept very clean. Very helpful owner, who popped over to check all was well.

Disliked Only two showers/toilets, so queuing would be a problem when busy. Grass pitches were soggy, with mole hills and hook-ups not clear, but we got moved easily to a hardstanding pitch (Owner did explain she had closed for grass pitches at this time, even though could still be booked on Pitch-up).

Liked Good size showers. Clean facilities. Lovely site with great access to the river swale and local areas. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Disliked Lights in the toilet block at night, went off mid shower, needs longer on the PIR. Shower cubicles need a fold-down seat or bench, as nowhere for clothes and floor is wet.

From the manager: Dear Sally , Thank you for staying with us and sharing your experience. We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay, and we appreciate you letting us know about the light dimming and fold-down seat. You’ll be pleased to hear that we’ve addressed both. We look forward to welcoming you back. Kind regards, Brompton On Swales Leisure Team

Liked Small and well laid out site by the river. Very good facilities and lots of water taps. Cafe and seating pods by the river are great. Chip shop in the village was very good. Easy access to Park and Ride for York.

Disliked Bosun’s restaurant and bar only opens from Thursday to Sunday, not good for the weekday visitors. No food at pubs in the village on a Monday and Tuesday. Arrival was self-service from e-mail info, missed that personal touch.

From the manager: Thank you for such a thoughtful and balanced review Sally. It’s great to hear how much you enjoyed the layout of the site, the riverside setting and the facilities - and lovely to know the café and pods added something special to your stay. The easy access to the Park & Ride and the village amenities is something many guests appreciate, so it’s good to hear that worked well for you too. Your points about the restaurant opening days and the limited food options in the village early in the week are genuinely helpful. We know this can be frustrating for weekday visitors, and feedback like yours helps us understand where expectations and availability don’t quite line up. It’s something we continue to review as the site grows. Thank you as well for mentioning the self‑service arrival. While many guests appreciate the convenience, we completely understand that some prefer a more personal welcome, and we’re looking at ways to bring a warmer touch back into the process without losing the ease of arrival. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we hope we’ll have the chance to welcome you back by the river again soon.

Liked Well signposted, friendly and helpful staff. On-site cafe was good, small range of good, simple, food. Facilities were ok, push button showers. Site was very bright at night. Pub and bus-stop within an easy walk.

Disliked Toilet floor by changing bench in the ladies was always wet.

Liked Wow, what a brilliant campsite. Lovely welcome, fantastic facilities. Remote, quiet, dark at night. Dog field so close was very convenient. The animals were also very friendly and good to interact with.

Disliked Leaving without saying goodbye.

Liked Great site, great views, friendly staff and good facilities. Well stocked shop, outdoor canteen and next door is the excellent Ben Nevis bar and grill. Site was fully booked, but did not feel overcrowded.

Liked Excellent site, very well maintained with lots of space. Less than 2 miles away, in Bishopton, you can get the train directly into Glasgow, with free parking at the Station.

Disliked Nothing

Recommend to friends Visit again

Liked Open spaces, brilliant staff and owner. Great for kids and young families. Pop up bar and food was an unexpected benefit (only on Friday & Saturday). Love the ethos of the owner.

Disliked Insufficient toilets and shower facilities. Water pressure was woeful in the showers.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Liked Friendly staff, quiet site and very good toilet and shower facilities. You will need your chocks if in a van. The Wildfowler and village shop (1 mile away) were very good.

Disliked Dryer out of order.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Liked The site had easy access to the town and was easy to find. Andy who greeted us was very friendly and helpful. The pitches were tiered so nice and level.

Disliked Pitch was worn and needed some TLC. They offer entertainment, but this was based mainly on children. The Swimming pool, an attraction for me, was only open very limited hours and is totally closed on a Monday, so not able to use. The Pizza box is only open a few nights and none during our 3 night stay. The food and drinks were expensive, better to buy fish and chips over the road or take a short walk to the welcoming George Inn. The showers were hot, but very basic. The gent’s showers had no hook on most of the doors, so no where to keep clothes dry, and the door to the ladies block, in a thoroughfare, was always open.
