What customers say
Ponden Mill: peaceful, rural escape with lovely views & great walks. Friendly, helpful hosts. Basic but clean facilities, though some want updates. Midges can be a bother, but the quiet, wildlife, and nearby pubs/Haworth make it a winner for nature lovers.

Lovely hidden away site, peaceful with wildlife all around.
Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked My tiny caravan had a puncture before I arrived so I opted for tent this time.
It was a lovely small site nestled in the hills, very relaxed and had most things I needed.
There had been a pop up cafe and bar in the mill next to the site over the weekend but I missed this.
The roads to the site were very windy and often single lane; next time with the caravan I'd make sure I planned my route beforehand to avoid most of these.
It's virtually on the Pennine Way and Brontë way so lots of walking from the site. It was beautiful at this time of year with the heather in bloom.
Disliked No obvious hot water for washing up.

Lovely site, probably best for a single night due to basic facilities.
Non-electric grass tent pitch (solo, no cars)
Liked Beautiful location, camping beside the little stream with the gentle burble of water is very idyllic. It’s a quiet spot and a small enough site you likely won’t be disturbed. My motorcycle felt secure and I was able to camp near it. The popup cafe was good with proper homemade cakes.
Disliked The facilities are very basic, the gents lacked hot water and what little soap was available on Saturday was gone by Monday. Definitely bring your own soap or wet wipes. Only one male toilet could also mean queues in the morning.
Wifi stopped working on the first evening.

Liked Beautiful site by the river, a very friendly guy talked us through our pitch options.
Clean loos and shower, and level pitches
Disliked Didn't feel very welcome by the lady in the office and was over charged. Once I realised I had been over charged I emailed Ponden Mill requesting a refund, I have not received a response.
Be careful if you walk up to the nearest Pub, the road is quite dangerous for walkers.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Flat pitches.
Clean ladies toilet
Lovely area and a very friendly cat.
Spoke to the male owner who was nice and friendly.
Disliked Midges, although by the water so to be expected these were relentless and had to leave after one night due to us all being bit so much (even with repellant) The images made it look like plenty of room for tents when infact right next to each other. The washing up area was not clean and was blocked/very slow draining due to food.

If the washing up sinks and taps were fixed, we might come back.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Lovely spot with nice views. Friendly staff. Nice shower. (It is interesting on this website that you do not have an option in the review- you have to write about what you liked, but 'disliked' is optional....)
Disliked There were a great many campers using the one sink with one (working) (cold) tap. The other sink had a broken tap, and the first sink seemed to drain into it, so it was filthy every time we went to wash up. There were taps around the campsite, but they were not working.

Nice site in a beautiful spot in a perfect location for walking.
Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Beautiful spot by the river with lovely views. Pitches were nice and level but ground was really hard so you will need rock pegs if you're putting up an awning. Some lovely walking in the area.
Disliked Could do with more mens toilets as only one for whereas there are three women's toilets.
Shower was nice but floor was dirty so hard to keep clean after. Easily solved by providing a mop and bucket so campers can give it a quick swish after using.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Lovely friendly place and the views are great. The lady who brought the breakfasts round and spoke to all the campers on her way round is a lovely touch. The walks around the area are really good and The Silent Inn pub close by was much better than some of the reviews it gets.
Disliked Nothing

Peaceful and stunning site
Pointy-Tenty 1 bedroom bell tent
Liked Lovely peaceful location next to a river. Hosts are friendly & helpful.
