Motorcycle and tent only primitive grass tent campsite (no cars)

Liked Booking my pitch was a simple, straight forward process with immediate confirmation sent to me.
Booking in at the site was also simple and straight forward.

Disliked Only the toilets on the upper field were in use, this made it quite hard for me as I had to negotiate an incline on the way there and back down again - that being said it’s only an issue for me as I am disabled and use a walking aid, any able bodied person would probably not have an issue and I guess you’re not being disturbed through the night if they were closer.
Unfortunately there weren’t any plots closer for me to use.

Anthony M.

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Really good sized pitches, the staff all friendly as were the campers that live on the site. Facilities were good, could have been a bit cleaner but we stayed the weekend of the Leeds festival so probably busier than usual. Saying that, I have been to sites at big holiday sites and they have been worse!
Showers and electric good value for money. Only £5 for electric hookup and that lasted us 2 days and nights, van plugged in constantly with TV, fridge, charges etc and no issues.

Cafe bar good value too. Although we had all our own food we did pop in for a meal one evening and it was nice.

Disliked Nothing really. The train is a bit annoying tooting its horn everytime it goes past but you get used to it.

Alvida K.

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Love it! We went Leeds fest and it was quite close to it but still far out too, loved the constant bike commotion although it is all at the pub and you can hardly hear the bikes at the camp site which is just up hill from it. Very nice and friendly environment. Never had to queue up for the toilets or showers even on social hours in the morning. Toilets and showers clean, didn’t shower but sink and toilets were clean and good pressure. Food at the pub was also really good. Would recommend for any stop overs or anyone who want to look at some cool bikes on a summers day.
The shower rooms were accessibility friendly, and there’s ramps rather than stairs mostly everywhere. Camp was super dog friendly, they have a dog field and also since the camp area wasn’t too busy there was still enough room for dogs to run around near your camping area. Camping areas assigned are huge, enough to fit a camper and seating area outside, basically double the space needed.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Relaxed, decent facilities, very friendly, great food in the cafe, loads of space and bikes galore!! Also very dog friendly. You can do a nice walk Lotherton Hall if you fancy it too

Disliked There is a HV pylon running through the field but the field is massive so you can camp well away if you don't like that. There is a train line close by too but they don't run late at night or early in morning so didn't find it disturbing.

Local attractions

Squires Café Bar is well placed for the Yorkshire coast and both the Yorkshire Dales and Yorkshire Moors national parks, about 10 miles from Leeds city centre and with York within biking distance for a day trip. On fine and sunny days, ramble/bike along, fish from or take a boat out on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, the longest in Northern England, or take a picnic to the 1500 acres of parkland at Temple Newsam House and Farm, birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots’s caddish hubby Lord Darnley and listed as one of the top three museum sites in the country by an author in the know. Xscape Yorkshire is a nifty nearby option for rainy days or indoor evenings, as it’s crammed with activities such as Laserzone and adventure golf, restaurants, bars, clubs, a cinema and shops (the outlet shopping village Junction 32 is just opposite). Further afield, the Doncaster Dome has a seven-pool waterworld and the UK's only split level ice rink – you’ll have had loads of practice by then at the Squires Café Bar rink…
