What customers say
A lovely, tranquil spot by the River Wharfe. Praised for friendly owners, clean facilities, and relaxed vibe. Ideal for walkers, despite patchy phone signal and occasional need for more loos when busy. A hidden gem many want to revisit.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Beautiful site. Lots of space and stunning views. Such friendly owners too. Loved it.
Disliked Nothing much. Maybe needs another shower and toilet but I know they’ve just started out and what they had was great. So would recommend as was ok even on a bank holiday and clean and roomy toilets and shower and bins kept clean.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked We are just home from a fabulous couple of nights stay at Pasture Pitches, a pop up site in a beautiful location. The site itself is located directly on the Dales Way Path, from the field gate you can walk left along the river and through Strid Wood to Bolton Abbey which we did yesterday and it was around 8 miles there and back. If you go right from the gate along the Way you can walk the two miles to the pretty village of Appletreewick and we enjoyed a lovely meal in the Craven Arms. This morning we walked again right from the gate and headed a mile to The Brownie Barn for a delicious breakfast. On the way home we stopped off in Grassington which was only about a 15 minute drive from the site.
The site itself was idyllic, so peaceful, a perfect getaway. For those who enjoy walking this is an ideal location. The facilities were lovely and clean and the owners were very friendly and chatty. We hope to be able to visit again!

Disliked Limited facilities- not enough toilets, showers for number of people camping. First year so hopefully will add more for next summer.

Liked Beautiful setting and very friendly owners.
We loved the views and the riverside with a footpath along towards Bolton Abby. After a short walk of about 15 minutes you reach a bridge and a handy ice cream van.
Would definitely stay again.
(We didn’t see the toilets or showers as we just use the motorhome, so can’t comment on those.)

Liked We really enjoyed our two night stay at this great little pop-up campsite in a beautiful location by the river, a nice 40 mins walk along the river to Appletreewick. The owner’s were very friendly and helpful and kept the facilities clean and tidy.
