What customers say
Spacious, clean, well-kept site with great country views & peace. Direct access to walks, farm animals loved. Toilets & showers spotless, though basic. Wind a factor for some; untreated spring water advertised. Manager's adjusted late arrival times.

Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked Quiet place with stunning views. Four composing toilets 2xladies 2xmen. The toilets and shower were all kept very clean. It is very close to Forbidden Corner 5miles? Great big field....they did have a goal post for kids.
Disliked If busy thinks it needs more than one shower. The road to get to the field needs more stones. The sign for the campsite needs to be better...missed it going up hill to the farm. Also sat nav took us to your neighbouring farm apparently he gets 5 of your customers per week, nice man though.

Definitely recommend and can't wait to return
Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked Spectacular views and a great base for some walks. The pub is a 20 minute walk away but mostly downhill so a good uphill walk on the way back!
Toilets basic but clean and functional. The hot shower was a lovely surprise,
Communication with the owners was good, always being quick to respond.
Disliked A difficult drive up to the campsite for larger campers as a few hairpin turns.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Great location with fantastic views across Wensleydale.
The site is very spacious with lots of space for the kids to run around.
The facilities were basic, but very well looked after. If you're after a wild camping experience, but with a shower then it's perfect!
Phone signal is excellent, which was a surprise given the remote location.
If you're in a tent, then make sure you've pegged it down well as it can get quite windy!

Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked Beautiful views, large field, clean toilets & shower. Toilets lit on a night. Watched race horses in the morning. Beautiful walks from the site & surrounded by livestock. Highly recommended.
Disliked Not dislikes but recommendations: sign for Penhill Park needs to be bigger & nearer the road. The step up to the compost toilets needs a handle for older/less mobile guests. Not big problems & certainly didn’t spoil our stay.
