Liked Great location close to Sedbergh and the Fells, Lots of walks direct from the site and spectacular views from large pitches well spaced apart with your own firepit

Disliked The worst shower and toilet facilities I have used. Only two showers for the whole site and three toilets with no hand wash available. If someone uses the only potwash sink your shower runs stone cold

From the manager: We pride ourselves on giving affordable access to the Western Dales, so we pace our infrastructure reinvestments at a pace that avoid cost increases to family’s who would otherwise be excluded. Bank holidays are always very busy and we have a balance to strike. I’m happy that on this bank holiday we got the balance right. Facilities are exactly as advertised and when we’re busy, all we ask is for a little kindness, patience and understanding towards other campers. There are 2 potwash sinks on site between 30 pitches on the main field. On the weekend referred, there was never a queue of more than 2 people waiting for a sink (between 30 pitches) at peak times. The 3 porcelain toilets (between 30 pitches) never had more than one person per toilet waiting. The 6 portaloos on site never had a queue outside. Comments such as those in this review are typical of campers who arrive in their expensive campervans expecting 5 star service (at affordable prices) with no regard for the infrastructure limitations (such as water pressure) in rural locations or the needs of other campers. I genuinely and sincerely encourage those campers who read this review and fit the profile of a middle aged couple, with an expensive campervan, limited patience or understanding, to become members of the Caravan & Camping Club, pay accordingly, and go onto camping sites with bureaucratic rules & regulations where you are charged for every extra because we aren’t the site for you. If you are a hardworking family, looking to enjoy the Yorkshire Dales culture of modesty, respect and courtesy, willing to wait 5 minutes at peak times/bank holidays to wash your dishes, then please come and visit, we’ll meet your generosity of spirit with relaxed determination to help you to enjoy our landscape, culture and hospitality. Sincerely Brian

Liked Clean site with good facilities, close location to Pickering and moors

Disliked cramped pitches too close together with one or two less would make it a lot better
