Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Campsite just as expected from description. Fire pits are a great touch and plenty of them, we were greeted as soon as we arrived from a friendly host and we could buy a big bag of wood for the fire for £10. Toilets were lovely and clean. Kids loved having a little splash in the stream, overall we all had a great time!

Disliked: Nothing!

Helen F. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Peaceful, beautiful scenery, small and secluded. Pleasant, friendly owner, lovely little stream. Very relaxing stay! Bonus of being very dark, got to see northern lights! Although composting toilets, these were very well looked after. Drinking water taps at both ends of site.

Disliked: A few wasps buzzing around, some parts were a bit boggy, some parts were hard to bash tent pegs in....but none of this was really an issue!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Beautiful place for wild camping. Suzie and her Dad were both very welcoming and helpful. So peaceful, the toilets were clean. Amazing that they provide fire pits. They also sell a big bag of logs for only £10. You can walk for miles!! Beautiful scenery. Had a fab weekend! 🥰

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Thank you Susie for a great stay at your campsite. The place is what camping should be; Mountain View and river with basic facilities - water to drink and toilets,respectful campers and friendly and helpful hosts. Susie took the time to come over to the site every so often to see we were all ok. Her dad kindly brought his tractor to the site to recharge a campers car battery. The spot feels remote but is well connected to the main Ravenstonedale road. Perfect and great value.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked: We enjoyed the wilder side to the campsite. There were no frills, it was rustic and simple. No showers but composting toilets and a dish washing area (cold water only). Fire pits and firewood (£10/big bag). Track to the field is grand but be careful in smaller vehicles on a wet day. You can always park near the toilet block and have a short walk to your pitch. 4G coverage.
