What customers say
Lovely site, great views, friendly staff, and spotless facilities. Brilliant for families and dogs, loads of room for the kids. Farm park’s a big plus. A few felt toilets/showers were tight when busy, and the washing-up area could do with a spruce-up. Access to the farm park playground outside hours was also mentioned.

Liked I was travelling on my own in a tent, and felt completely secure and relaxed the whole time. The toilets and shower block were spotless, and the things to see at the country hall were endless. Absolutely recommend!

Electric grass pitch
Liked Toilets and showers really clean.
Really welcoming warden and his lovely dog.
Loved how close it was to the farm but the animals didn’t make much noise that we could hear.
As it’s off the track it’s not overly busy
Views across the valley and surrounding area utterly gorgeous.
Disliked The rain but that’s nothing to do with the campsite.

Great!
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Very dog friendly. Staff were lovely. Great location. Showers were warm and there was never a queue! Toilets were always clean and still no queue. The farm itself I couldn't go into because they dont allow dogs (for the animals wellbeing) but my family said it was really fun. I went on a few walks around the area with the dogs, lots of lovely routes. Just be mindful that there is a busy main road separating the farm from the majority of walks, so if youre not comfortable walking along a main road for 5 mins with dogs, might be worth driving to a route

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked This place is perfect for families. The beautiful view of the Yorkshire Dales is a huge bonus! For those with younger kids, there's a new, fun play area that opened a couple of years ago (need to purchase ticket) Just remember to check the schedule as it's not always open. If anyone need to go to the toliet at night, it is only one-minute walk to the shower and toliet, which is very convenient for those with children who need frequent bathroom breaks at night. The accommodation also has someone station there at night, very cosy, friendly, clean and peaceful ambient.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Right next to Thorton Hall, for the kids.
Facilities were basic but fine for our needs.
Milkshake place down the road was great.
Close enough to pubs and shops
Disliked Pitches were quite tight and close together.
Not much to do on site for the kids and no shade from the sun. Could do with some shadey spots, trees, perhaps some play equipment.
Facilities needed a bit more maintenance/up keep (topping up soap, repair to loo roll dispenser etc), holes in ground on pitches.
Generally ok for a couple of nights away though
