What customers say
A beloved, peaceful site in a fab location for Fountains Abbey. Facilities are spotless, basic but functional. Owners are top-notch! Spacious pitches with privacy. Some found it a bit pricey for no hot water, but most felt it was great value & would return.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked A quiet site, that is mainly flat. The services are basic but very functional; the men’s had two toilets, one of which had a shower. A sink for washing up and a drinking water tap. Rubbish and recycling bins.
No hot water but that’s the joy of semi wild camping.
