What customers say

A super clean, tranquil spot, ideal for Fountains Abbey. Owners are tops – friendly & helpful. Spacious grounds for kids and dogs. A few grumbles about hot water & price, but mostly brilliant value. Highly recommended, many want to come back!

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked It’s a very simple camping site, a grass field with different amounts of level ness, but you can choose your spot where available.
separate women and gentlemen shower / toilet
Building. Two toilets one with a shower, both had toilet rolls. in each women and gentlemen. Plus one sink with soap and paper towels in each. The showers are only cold water. But all was cleaned regularly. Outside there is a single sink for washing up. It is an easy walk to the west gate of Fountains Abby.
Phone reception strong 4g for calls and data.

Disliked Warning there is a fake website which unfortunately seems it can’t be taken down, it has everything at the site which is rubbish. the owner of the camping site has tried before to take it down but was unsuccessful.
We booked with pitchup and had no problems. we only found the fake website when actually looking for the location on the map. But as it is a pop up site meaning it only runs certain times of the year it is not showing on maps, but if you go to the post code supplied it’s ok.
