Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: Pitches close to toilet and shower block. Beautiful views. Warden onsite if needed. Car could be next to tent pitch. We struggled as a family of 5 to take down tent and pack up for 1000hrs but the site was very patient, we were around 30-40 mins late. We had a lovely enjoyable stay here and happy we booked.
Disliked: The actual Thornton Hall attraction appeared quite pricey with 3 children, even with the generous discount as campers there. When my husband asked lady on reception, there was the entry fee, then some activities inside cost extra ontop. We were worried this would creep up with 3 kids who'd want to do everything so we went along to Skipton castle instead and we could take our dog there too. Looked a great attraction though but it was difficult that the kids could see a play ground ahead of them that they weren't able to use. It would be great to have a small play area for them that they could use as part of the campsite. Still a lovely family friendly site though.

Liked: The drive to the site is very picturesque, through the village and the moor.
Disliked: I tried to get in touch with the office to discuss the booking, for a whole week before our trip, both by phone and email and got not response at all.
When we arrived there was no record of our booking, we had to show the booking email. We were in a field which was uneven, and full of nettles and thistles.
There is 1 male toilet, 1 female toilet and 1 unisex toilet. Which was insufficient for demand from the sheer volume of people onsite booked on site. They were very smelly and dirty.
The showers are small, and annoying as you have to constantly push the button every few seconds to keep the water flowing. There was a worm by the plug hole one morning, which was grim.
In all, it was very over priced for what was on offer. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Liked: Lovely looking site in good location. Toilets and shows clean. Level pitches, was able to book last minute (however I should have done more research) good phone signal
Disliked: Small site that gets really busy. 8pm no noise rule not adhered too. Noise past 10pm as lots of families with children. Only three toilets and two showers, not enough for the amount of people. Booked a non electric grass pitch, had a tent pitch up right beside our van so could hear the family through the night and morning. Wouldn't recommend the site for couples as its not quiet, definitely for families with children.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: Small campsite with plenty of space for the kids to run about and play in.
Good sized pitches
Easy check in
Good contact with the site, the toilets were blocked so I messaged the out of hours contact and was sorted in 5 mins.
Pithches clearly labelled
Super dog friendly
Had a very safe feel
Disliked: Hot air balloons firing up right next to the campsite around 7-7.30am which woke us up
Toilets seem to get blocked easily
Not a dislike for us as such but an honest review for anyone looking - the no noise after 8pm wasn’t adhered to whilst we were there. Like I say, this didn’t bother us but there were children and music playing up to 11pm.
The actual farm park isn’t dog friendly but the campsite is, which we didn’t actually know before booking (didn’t realise they were separate). It doesn’t make this very clear on Pitchup when asking if you want to book tickets for activities.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: Good level, spacious pitches
Disliked: Facilities were poor, only 1 male and 1 female toilet, for the whole touring and camping sites, plus although they had hand washing Facilities, there was no means to dry your hands. Also there was only 2 showers for the whole site, so had to queue.
Also there wash no washrooms, ie sinks for getting washed or shaved etc.
