What customers say
This peaceful, well-kept site has spacious, level spots in a beautiful rural setting, perfect for exploring North Yorkshire. Guests rave about the friendly, helpful owner and the clean, basic amenities, including coin-operated showers and washrooms. Though the washing-up area is basic, uncovered, and has cold water, the site's quiet vibe and good value make it highly recommended. Many visitors want to return.

Powered grass tent campsite
Liked We had a wonderful stay at this campsite. The site itself is nicely secluded, giving it a peaceful and relaxing feel. The owner was always friendly and easy to reach if needed, often checking in to make sure guests were comfortable. His two dogs were an absolute delight — beautifully trained and never intrusive, they added to the welcoming atmosphere.
We also really appreciated being able to stay close to our friends, which made the trip even more enjoyable. Everything was clean, well maintained, and very well run. We enjoyed it so much that we’re already planning to return next year!

Powered grass tent campsite
Liked We had a fantastic 8 nights, the owner is very friendly and helpful its a lovely quiet and secluded site and we all loved the dark skies. Although the showers were a £1 unlike most places they were spacious, clean and lovely and hot, no holding a button down to keep them going and 5 minutes was more than enough time. The facilities were clean and tidy. The local Sun Inn was only a 20 minute walk away and a good old fashioned local pub. Certainly a site we would love to revisit thanks for a great family holiday

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Nicely kept basic site, great for kids to be kids. Owner friendly and it was nice that he came over to say hello.
Disliked Unfortunately a large group was allowed on the electric pitches and despite being told to be quiet after 9.30, they continued to party for 3 nights solid. I would have told them to leave after the 2nd night. Spoiled weekend away for many, such a shame as the site is really nice but it may effect people rebooking

From the manager: Thank you for the review , sorry for the large group who should not have been able to book according to pitch up rules, They were repeatedly asked to be quiet which they ignored so were asked to leave early which they did.
Comfortable small site set in the countryside
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Really lovely little peaceful site, lots of shady trees and animals for the younger kids to see see. The owner was very attentive and helpful.
You need a £1 for the shower and 20p for extra minutes for longer, but the £1 was fine for me for a quick wash and shampoo.
