A aimé Had another really nice stay at Woodsworth Exploring. Despite the site being full it never felt crowded or noisy. I was worried there might be queues for the two toilets on site but it turned out not to be an issue. Due to the very high fire risk there was unfortunately a 10:30pm curfew on campfires after which they had to be extinguished, which was a shame but understandable with the extremely dry summer. As usual the staff are lovely.

N'a pas aimé One of the two toilets was in an absolute state this morning so I don't know how regularly they are checked and cleaned. This is the first time I've ever seen them not be clean, so hopefully a one off. This is a bit nit picky, but as I stay at more and more different sites and seeing what level of facilities are offered at different price points, I do think the amenities on site are a bit lacking. No paper towels, no washing up liquid or sponges, no hot water etc despite being on the upper end of typical campsite prices is something they really should look into improving on. I get that it's suppose to be 'wild camping' style, but wild camping is free and as such you expect to rough it, if you're spending the best part of £40 a night, some paper towels or a washing up liquid dispenser isn't that much to ask for I think.

A aimé A lovely site with friendly staff and the fanciest looking facilities I've ever seen on a campsite. The location with views out over Morecambe bay is wonderful, there's plenty of flat spots despite the gentle overall slope of the site. Note, the ground is very hard so bring a mallet! The little popup breakfast van on site (Scarbucks!) was great, especially as there's nothing else nearby really. It would be quite nice if there was a little shop on site, perhaps something the owners could consider? Good phone service on site.

N'a pas aimé They have a fancy electronic gate with numberplate recognition which I'm sure is great if you arrive by car, it is however not very motorcycle friendly and meant I didn't feel confident going out in the evening as if no one was around to open it for me I'd have potentially have been locked out of the site. Having a code or something to open the gate would be really beneficial as it's a super site otherwise.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hi, thank you for your comments, glad you enjoyed your stay. We shall certainly look into the number plate recognition. My brother is a motor cyclist & he recommends a camera to see the rear of tithe bike , which we shall certainly look into . Thanks again Anne

A aimé Lovely small site with good, clean amenities, well situated for walking in the area. On site pizza was good, but it was takeaway only with no drinks or dessert available contrary to the description on here. Phone signal on site was decent (EE).

N'a pas aimé Not really a dislike, but a little shop on site with some basics would be very useful as there’s not one for miles.

A aimé Large field to camp in with a free choice of where to pitch. Facilities were clean but basic. Fire pit and logs were good value vs other sites I’ve stayed at. It was also properly dry so there wasn’t loads of smoke. Easy to walk into nearby Silsden for shops etc. although very limited choices of places to eat on my visit. It would be nice if there was a food van or something on site. They were very accommodating for my motorcycle and let me park it out of the way behind the barn as I was worried about the strong wind gusts toppling it on the day I arrived. There was wifi but I had a good 5G signal so didn’t bother with it.

N'a pas aimé Road noise is inevitable when the camp site is right next to a dual carriageway, I was expecting some noise but it was relentless right through the night. With ear plugs it didn’t really disturb my sleep, but it did make it less enjoyable just relaxing by the tent in the evening.

A aimé Had a great stay, the site was all but empty during my stay so had the woods to myself.

A aimé Really nice stay again overall, slightly preferred my previous pitch when I last stayed here but overall nothing beats being in the woods with the birds singing and squirrels coming over to say hello in the morning. The staff are all lovely.

N'a pas aimé Unfortunately positioned a bit close to another couple who spent the entire evening loudly arguing with each other which slightly spoilt my enjoyment. Obviously it's the luck of the draw on any campsite. Some paper towels in the bathroom would be nice as the water is freezing cold at this of year so not fun to go out with wet hands.

A aimé Really enjoyed my stay here, lovely location with easy access to the Dales Way for walking. The onsite facilities were immaculate and the shop was very useful given there was nowhere else nearby. The staff I interacted with were very friendly and helpful. Nice views over the valley from the pitches, which were a good size and tiered so your view was never blocked by other campers. It was quiet in the evenings and I had no disturbances during my stay, even though the site was reasonably busy. Access is by a dirt road which I hadn't realised, however thankfully it wasn't too rough, but something to be conscious of if you're arriving on two wheels. I'd highly recommend the Craven Arms in Appletreewick (about a 30 minute) walk if you're looking for a good pub nearby.

N'a pas aimé I enjoy a good campfire as much as anyone, but I found the number of fires made the site very smokey in the evenings. There was also regularly a smell of sewage wafting over the site, none of the toilet blocks smelt so not sure where it was coming from. As there's no phone service at the site the Wifi is a bit of a life line, but it was extremely unreliable and clearly over stretched by the number of visitors during my stay.

A aimé Had a brilliant experience here. The chap doing the induction was friendly and very helpful. Given the dryness of the woodland it's good that they're quite strict about campfires while still allowing them. I was in a quiet corner of the site, although not that far from other campers, I felt like I had that little corner to myself with everyone out of sight and ear shot. Listening to the owls hooting while I toasted marshmallows over the campfire in the evening was magical. The facilities are clean and of a good standard. It's such a shame they don't have showers so I could stay longer, but this is made very clear before booking. As a motorcyclist it's reassuring to know the carpark is behind a locked gate and not very visible from the road. There's some nice pubs within a short walk (although quite steep hills involved), the Golden Fleece was very nice and great value for money.

A aimé 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.

N'a pas aimé 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.
