I like this site although facilities could do with an overhaul. The coin machine (10p) which runs the solitary shower on the site is an antique. The site is situated at the entrance to Goredale Scar, a wonderful location and each day you see dozens of people heading up the path that cuts through the site. There's a lovely and relatively easy walk into Malham via Janets Foss where there are several places to get fed and fuelled. Also just outside the site is a chuck wagon which is there most days where a quick snack and brew can be obtained for those who prefer to travel light.
The only downer for me was the colour of the `drinking water` that come out of the tap. If this kinda thing bothers you take your own.

This place is one of my favourites! Fantastic views, great walks, and not far from home. Its perfect for a quick break but very basic. And of course, for anyone who's not been there before, it is run by an absolute nutter!, a nice one, but be prepared for an interesting conversation before you pitch up.
The toilet block is fit only for what its designed for and surrounding it you'll find years of hoarding old camping equipment and bbq's. As long as you can see past those first impressions its a great site for all.
Picturesque, on a stream which is perfect for the kids to lark around in and close to Gordale Scar waterfall, Janet's Foss and Malham village if that's what you're after.

Stayed here for 2 nights and would not stay longer. The setting itself is beautiful and a fantastic base for lots of walks in the area. However the facilities were filthy. 1 shower and toilets with bins overflowing. We thought it was late when the owner let someone on site at 10 but then someone else arrived at 11 and started to put a large tent up. By the time they'd finished it was gone 12. With a busy day ahead for most people there were a few complaints. Wont be going back there in a hurry

Six of us stayed here for 2 nights to celebrate our friend's birthday and do some mountain biking. Arrived mid-afternoon on the Friday and virtually had the field to ourselves (the previous couple of weeks had been very wet) but by the evening there were a lot more people and by the Saturday night it was very much busier.
Site is a spectacular location, and there is plenty of mountain biking in the area, although the first hill starts about a yard outside the campsite!
20 minute walk to Malham where there are 2 pubs, one a bit more upmarket than the other but both welcoming and did good food and beer. There is a also a great cafe in Malham (The Old Barn) which does a good breakfast including a gluten free menu.
The facilities at the campsite are what you would expect for the price, and in fact the shower turned out to be better than expected -powerful and hot, and 10p was sufficient time to shower properly. We used the shower at about 4pm after our bike riding so there was no queue but I suspect it could be busy in high season.
There is a lot of 'stuff' piled up around the toilet block but it was quite tidy, and adds to the character of the place.
We would certainly visit here again.

Have just got back from a one night stay at Gordale Scar. As previously mentioned, the views and surrounding area are beautiful. The site looks out onto Gordale Scar and the appeal is the element of 'wilderness' camping.
The campsite is basic at best. Whilst the camping field is clear of rubbish, the entrance, toilets and shower room more closely resemble Steptoes yard.
There was hot water in the washing room for washing your dishes, but this room also contains the only shower on site. The drinking water was a yellow colour and we bought bottle water instead.
The cost was £4 per tent, £4 per adult, £3 per car and £1. 50 per child. It is a very popular site for the views and for one night it was fine, but I wouldn't stay for any longer than that.

Super campsite, great location with the stream running through the grounds. Toilet blocks were fine for our short 17 hour stay, hot water and toilet paper available! Unsure of shower facilities as these were not used.
Malcolm the owner was happy to let us stay with our two dogs and he did not bombard us with any rules, very relaxing!
Two pubs in Malham are a 25 min walk away and both welcome walkers and dogs.
The short stay cost £13 for two small tents, two people and one car.
I would choose this campsite again and plan to return in August
