Just came back from the bank holiday weekend at this site and it was wonderful. The welcome was great and we were escorted to our pitch which was at the end of the 'Island'. A very nice, peaceful pitch with our own private beach, although it was a trek to the facilities.
We visited Brigham rocks for the day, about 20 minutes away, although it is only for the energetic, I visited the cafe.
We went to the Bull for a meal on Sunday night, quite nice, but a little expensive.
I would recommend this site to anyone, but watch out for the river banks as some are quite steep.
Management response: Thank you for your comments, your feedback is very much appreciated. We hope to see you again soon. Thanks again, Kay & Andy (Managers)

We stayed here for a couple of nights as part of a larger group.
The wardens were friendly and efficient and directed us to our pitch by a small tractor.
The site is next to the river Ure (which was raging after a night's heavy rain). It was a great attraction for both young and older. The facilities were fine, (we've seen worse and better), although we had to work out where the fresh water and rubbish bin areas were.
The main negative for us (and for those only with tents) was the long walk to the toilets and showers (as the site is long and thin). So if you are in a tent ask for a pitch near to the facilities if this may be an issue for you.
The site is situated in a rural spot, but the towns of Ripon and Masham are a short drive away. I understand basic provisions are available at reception, but we did not use this service.
Seems a great site for families with children (lots staying there). Lightwater Valley is very near, so a great base for that.

Facilities:- plenty of toilets and showers. The water did go lukewarm the day I had my shower late in the morning. Freezer in the laundry for freezing blocks. A shop however we never used it so I can't comment.
Location:- good location, near to Ripon and Masham by car. Not sure about if you wanted to walk anywhere. If you had children I don't think you were in walking distance of anything suitable. The river was lovely.
Noise:- quiet on site but if water would keep you awake you could hear the flow of the river.
Pitch size- variable. Pitch 1 looked quite small. Our group had pitches 2-4. This was lovely but it was near to the part of the river flowing down a gradient so it was noisy, however I use earplugs when camping! Grass was kept lovely.
Customer service:- reception lady seemed quite abrupt and 'sergeant' like but would answer any queries. Perhaps it was just her way. Plenty of rules to follow around the site however not a problem. It just seemed a little strict at first.
We would visit the site again.

Just returned from a 3 night stay on this lovely site. We stayed on pitch 17 on 'the island' in the oak area and were escorted to our pitch.
The island was split into sections and even though the site was full the day we arrived there was a real feeling of space due to the way the decent sized pitches were clustered together with a large space in the middle for the children to play.
There was a little beach area just down the the river bank which our children loved to play on but you have to be a little wary of letting little ones wander far on this site due to the fast flowing river (common sense really).
The river was also well fenced off, allowing access at certain points only. At first I thought this site would have benefited from a park, but as our stay went on I thought actually no, it's not really necessary.
The long road through the area was ideal for kids cycling and scooting, and lots of the people staying there were set up for fun on the river (wet suits, kayaks etc).
Facilities were fine, clean, hot showers, 4 sociable wash up sinks under cover - all situated in a triangular central block that my daughter named 'the wigwam'. There was another block in the main courtyard where the caravans were situated too. Never used the shop but it was there if you needed it.
To top it all, a couple of pubs about a mile down the road, decent supermarkets in masham and ripon (5 miles away each), and lightwater valley on your doorstep if desired. Would recommend the 'law and order trail' in ripon - under £20 for an annual family ticket allows access to the workhouse, courthouse and police and prison museums.
Fantastic stay, get yourself there!

What a lovely site.
We chose it because good reviews and the proximity to lightwater valley - just a couple of minutes down the road.
Friendly welcome in the reception - we were escorted to our ehu pitch on 'the island'
Nice flat well maintained pitches - infact the whole site was. We had a walk round the full site later on and it is much bigger than you think but doesn't feel overcrowded or overdeveloped.
There is a small sandy area on part of the river bank called the beach for the kids to play on.
The block was fine - always hot water available in the showers and regularly cleaned.
As mentioned elsewhere, the site could do with a play area and equipment for kids.

This was our third visit to this site and it wont be the last. We stayed for 5 nights with our two children 3 and 8.
We reserved the 'Island' area we wanted and were given what we had asked for. The pitches are very spacious. We have a twin-wheel based caravan, 7 seater car and a big awning and we still had room at the side of the awning to sit out and BBQ etc!
The site is very well maintained, shower/toilets facilities were always clean and adequate. The owners are friendly and give advice about the local area as well as having a good stock of leaflets for places to visit. The 'Beach' area is great for the kids and they loved paddling in the river, albeit in their wellies.
We went for a stroll down the river side and there is a small village with a pub, children's park and not forgetting the donkeys. The pub is lovely and has a riverside beer garden. We had an evening meal there and although it's not the cheapest of places, the food was lovely.
Short drive into Ripon where you can find all your shopping needs. There is a big Sainsburys and can highly recommend the shop overlooking the market square which sells bacon, pies etc. Their sausage rolls are lovely!
If you are travelling with children, Lightwater Valley is only a 5 minute drive away. Definitely pay a visit to the Forbidden Corner. It's about 30 minutes drive away and you have to book, but we had an amazing day - highly recommend a visit.
The icing on the cake would be a small play area for the children but even without it the kids still had lots of fun.
