Penhill Park

Ik was blij met Loved it. Amazing place. Facilities were v clean and worked well. Stacy, the campsite owner very friendly. The views are spectacular. The main teepee is full of stuff for fires and even a coffee machine. As a cyclist the ride away in the morning was spectacular. Lovely way hi g the horses on the gallops

Ik was niet blij met As a cyclist the hill getting up! At 1 point was 25%. Quite windy so a good tent needed

Ik was blij met Great spot, and lovely views across the dale. Great big bell tent if you need to get out of the elements.

Ik was blij met Nearly wild camping. Great walks to Pen Hill and Cauldron Falls from the campsite. Clean toilets and lovely hot showers. Working farm complete with sheep dog rounding up sheep!

Ik was niet blij met A little bit exposed so bring a decent tent.

Ik was blij met Amazing site if seeking a nearly wild experience. Great walks from the site and epic views. The tipi and little shop was a nice touch

Ik was blij met The highlight of the campsite is the tipi - large, spacious tent where we were able to chill out when it rained. The views are also incredible and the owners are really nice.

Ik was niet blij met Not a massive deal, but the grass could use a trim. The biggest downside for me personally was that I could not get hot water in the shower, it was barely warm and on a cold morning it was a bit uncomfortable.

Van de manager: Thank you for your comments, we are glad you made use of the Tipi. There are longer and shorter areas of grass, we usually have both as peoples preferences differ, some people prefer the longer grass as its softer but some don't like it when its wet. Some people prefer the meadow style grass and its good for pollinators with the clover and other meadow flowers.

As for the shower we usually have people comment its too hot so we can't seem to win! if it wasn't hot at all it suggests there was probably an issue with the boiler lighting. There is a number on the information board and on all of your booking confirmation emails to call if theres an issue and we can usually resolve most things immediately. If we don't know there's an issue we can't do anything to fix it for you.

Ik was blij met Fantastic views, very peaceful location, clean shower and toilets. Friendly sheep! Worth being aware if you have a dog that the sheep are not just in adjoining fields but also wander around the campsite. Access to hiking straight from the campsite.

Ik was niet blij met Lack of bins and drinking water- this is stated in the description but feel maybe the price doesn't reflect just how.basix the facilities are. Saw mention of washing up facilities but only basins looked like hand-wash rather than kitchen?

Van de manager: Thanks for coming to stay, sorry you think we are overpriced.
We provide large unallocated spaces for camping, unspoiled views of the Yorkshire dales and allow campfires. Hot showers, clean toilets and a communal Tipi space is available to use with a coffee machine and honesty shop for essentials. Everyone has a different perspective but we don’t feel they are very basic facilities?

The washing up area is at the end of the row of showers next to the bins so you must have missed them, the basins in between the toilets are for hand washing etc.
The sheep don’t regularly wander the campsite, they are pet lambs that sometimes escape from where they should be, we do ask that dogs stay on a lead because we are a working farm.

All the best for your onward journey.

Ik was blij met The view was amazing! Phoned on arrival very pleasant arrival.

Ik was niet blij met Nothing but the road in was a little bumpy.

Ik was blij met Lovely pop up back to nature campsite, Compost toilets and a lovely hot shower, all in good clean working order! The tipi with an Honesty shop is a definite added bonus, we bought fresh eggs which were a delicious addition to breakfast, the views are spectacular!
Would definitely return!
