What a fantastic drive in, once you pass the village of Malham, then it is a single lane road all the way and what a setting for a campsite, right at the mouth of the Gordale Scar.
A simply basic site, with one toilet and shower for each sex, fresh water and that is about it. Dogs are welcome and is a heaven for walking for them. Check in is at the farmhouse and this is where you will find the toilets, showers and fresh water point too.
It a large open field and you can pitch anywhere you like. There is a stream that runs through the site, however when we were here it was just a trickle as the weather had been lovely for the past two months with very little rain fall.
You share the field with plenty of sheep, so a clean up job on the sheep mess is essential for a clean groundsheet and shoes. They leave you alone, but do like to make a bit of noise early in the morning, but then this is the closest you will get to wild camping, but with facilities, so of course a bit of nature is not a problem.
The ladies toilets are basic but perfectly adequate, but they do the job, there are three toilets in the ladies and two toilets in the mens. The same is said for the mens in terms of basicness and are clean and very usable. There is just one shower and it was clean and fine to use and took 10p to run. My friend used the showed and put in 20p and this lasted for ages, too long in fact. There is a washing up sink too at the block.
Walking is in abundance from the site and is a hikers paradise. The village of Malham is approx. 1 mile away where you will find a basic village shop and a couple of pubs. We ate in the Buck Inn and the food was delicious and not over priced. They also had a good selection of drinks.
If you want a larger Tesco or the like, then you will have to go into Skipton which is about 10 miles each way. There you will get your fuel for the car and all your major provisions, which you would be better off bringing with you.
Overall a fantastically basic site that is definitely on my 'to come back to' list. There is no reception on any of the four major networks, so perfect to absolutely get away from it all. £3 per unit and £3 per person, bargain

We loved this site - the facilities are very basic but fine - showers are 10p so you get what you pay for really!
The location is out of this world - truly a beautiful part of the country.
Our kids loved splashing in the stream that runs through the site catching fish and we could sit with a cup of tea and watch them so we were happy.
The payment is rather strange - £3 each for car, caravan, each adult, £1.50 for the kids so didn't work out all that cheap given the facilities but we would still return for the amazing location.

We have just spent a lovely one night on this site with glorious weather too with our family plus my parents!
Beautiful location and scenery out of this world, the atmosphere on site was really laid back and friendly. The children loved the stream rescuing fish as the stream was very low! And the neighbouring sheep and rabbits caused much excitement!
The facilities however were horrible and possibly haven't been cleaned for who knows how long with junk just piled everywhere. This didn't detract from our enjoyment however and we will return, just a shame a good bleaching hasnt been applied to make the facilities at least clean and basic!
Our advice - take a bucket and if your there for 1+ nights you may have to brave the shower but it looks like it may be best avoided. Lee showered there and said it was nice and hot if anything !
We will definitely be returning for the entertaining owner and his eccentric ways and the lovely views!

Beautiful place. Campsite has very basic facilities, toilets, shower (10p) pot washing facilities, untidy and lots of junk about but the camping ground more than makes up for this.
Field is clean, well looked after and litter free and the scenery is out of this world, short walk to waterfall where you can climb up and do the walk to Malham Tarn / Malham cove.
We have been several times and would go again. Lovely place, atmosphere brill! Nice friendly cafe and pub and shops in Malham. Well worth a visit or two!

We had a wonderful stay at Gordale Scar.
The campsite is in a beautiful location and the view from our tent was wonderful.
The campsite has plenty of hot water and an indoor area for washing up. The toilets are basic but clean. Exactly as you would expect from a campsite charging £3 per tent.
The owner was extremely friendly and helpful.
We will be going back!

Fabulous location!
If you don't mind basic facilities and a scruffy 'amenities' block, this is a great site. The scenery is stunning and there is plenty of space to spread out.
Access to Gordale, Malham Tarn and the village of Malham are great. The walk into the village (2 great pubs) via Janet's Fosse is the recommended route which avoids the narrow and relatively steep hill but takes in some great scenery.
Our only 'grievance' was the noise created by one DOE group - talking until 1 in the morning and then up at 6 o'clock. It could have been due to the cold (plus 1C) but the place is so quiet that sounds carry.
