Me gustó Absolutely beautiful place to stay it was brilliant for the children to play,the place was nice and tidy and there are plenty of walks bike rides etc in the local vicinity, the pub did lovely food and it was nice and quiet place and a small town up the road with a couple of shops for any bits that you may have forgotten like I did.

No me gustó Nothing it was brilliant

Me gustó Location. Nice and easy to find and ideally placed.

No me gustó We visited on the Bank Holiday weekend, which you expect to be busy, and admittedly, some of these aren't the owner's fault, but I feel they should be mentioned all the same. The fact that the site is new is understandable and there are bound to be some teething problems going on, but the fact that they advertise 48 motorhomes and 40 tent pitches is ridiculous for the size of the site.

We were packed in like sardines, so much so that it felt unsafe.
We were in the smallest tent of them all, yet everyone still found us. We got hit by footballs, frisbees, and even a remote-controlled car.

Once the live music at the pub had finished at 8pm, everyone (slightly tipsy) came back to their tents to play their own music. That's all fine, and when you think at 10.30pm it'll be quietening down, you'd be very wrong. One tent had loud music going until 3.30am, one tent were having a full blown domestic at 4.30am. It seemed pointless even trying to get a little bit of sleep!

Officially the worst nights sleep, and the most overpriced campsite (for facilities) I've been on.

Me gustó Site was in a beautiful location, close to lovely villages and sites like the Ingleton waterfalls trail. The owner was friendly and helpful. My son really loved the playground and the opportunity to play with lots of other kids there. The live music at the pub both nights was a really nice touch.

No me gustó This is a new site, so I appreciate there may be some teething issues. The site seemed overbooked - the numbered pitches weren't allocated so something of a free for all. A number of tents and caravans parked in non official pitches. One side of the pitch (which we were on) is on a slope, although it wasn't really a big issue.
We did however have a significant issue with noise on the first night, at 11.30pm there were still a good number of camps playing very loud music. By 1.30pm the tent next door (who'd been getting drunk at the pub) started shouting and swearing, having a full on domestic (in addition to loud music I'd already asked them to switch off). This blew up again at 3.30am, meaning we only got a few hours sleep, it was so bad I nearly called the police. Luckily our 5 year old is a heavy sleeper, but his pal two tents down was woken by it and was very distressed. Far from ideal on what is billed as a 'family site'.
I spoke to the owner who was apologetic and said others had complained, he gave us a free drink and assured me the family were leaving that day. The site was much quieter overall that night.
He said they were new to all of this, so I guess still learning. I do think there is a duty to have be some policing of sites in terms of noise nuisance (as there are on other sites we have stayed at) late at night, but my sense is they were overwhelmed and spread thinly running the pub at the same time. I appreciate that this instance of the dysfunctional family was likely to be out of the ordinary and we were unlucky. If you were at the other end of the site you probably wouldn't have heard it.
We were surprised there was only one shower and toilet, given there were 50 pitches and more camping in the middle, it's not adequate. Granted you did have access to the pub toilets 7.30am till 11pm. They were also cleaned each morning.

I think with a few tweaks (additional showers, more enforcing of the rules around noise - there was a notice up on the site but very unobtrusive, many would have missed this), not overbooking, it could be a really good site. My son had a blast.

Me gustó Lovely place . Hosts nice people ..has enough facilities to keep children entertained

No me gustó The noise ..people who stayed at this site on Saturday night should be ashamed of themselves !!! I hope to never have the misfortune of sharing a camp-site with those people again..camp-site also seemed to be very over booked ..

Me gustó 🤔

No me gustó Too busy and over crowded made little space between tents and camper vans . Literally 1 shower which was flooding and 1 sink for washing facilities and 1 toilet which should have been cleaned more than just in the morning when pub closed. Booked table to eat on the Sunday night but was told on ordering they had run out of most on the menu, what we were able to order wasn’t great.

Me gustó Lovely location. Really hard-working staff who made you welcome.

No me gustó Doesn’t affect my review of the actual camping location however I would avoid bank holiday weekends in the future because it was obviously very very busy. Only saying that because I disliked it but not the punchbowl in itself.
