This is a basic, relatively cheap site ideal for the 3 Peaks start point and somewhere to rest afterwards. The field is neatly kept with pitches marked by lawn cutting and the car park is nearby.

The major downside are the facilities which are old and in bad need of updating. They are relatively clean for their age but the shower (only one shower for the whole site) is expensive at £1 and not all that clean- there's not even a shelf to put your dry stuff on whilst you shower. Other than that the owner is a jolly, polite chap who is always around and the village has enough facilities available.

Found this site on line and decided it was the one for me and a friend for one night! - fab! wished we could've stayed longer.Chris is great - very nice, friendly and helpful man. Helped us out by blowing up an air bed (we're mature and need SOME comforts.)when our pump broke. Horton is small but gorgeous and has inspired me to do the 3 peaks next year - or maybe the year after.

Lots of loud music and revellers - but they were celebrating their 3 peaks walks!

Definitely returning to this basic but very friendly site.

Stayed for a couple of nights commencing Saturday 12th. Site itself is in the perfect location for tackling the three peaks. The field is in excellent condition and on the Saturday night was very full.

For us the only let-downs were the state of the toilet blocks and the amount of them, really if you allow in excess of 200 people on the site you need more than one shower per male and female. (Also best to use some type of footwear if you venturing into the showers).The other major failing was the noise. I have no problem with revelry, but music and kids screaming about until 11pm was a bit much. Sadly some of the loud music was instigated by the owner himself, which didn't help the control of the situation. If you are after a good nights sleep, look elsewhere, or perhaps one where parties of school children are actually monitored by the teachers from the campsite rather than the pub! If your after a bit of a party atmosphere this is ideal.

Yes it is a basic site but we really enjoyed our stay. Mr Sutcliffe (the farmer) is fabulous. Very friendly and helpful- quite a character! We had a few drinks with him in his 'gazebo/living room' and got used to his music. Yes the farm dogs barked in a morning and the sheep made sheep noise. It cost £2.00 per person / dog / tent / night.

There were quite a few of our family staying on the site together and yes it was a bit noisy and busy but it all added to the experience!

Showers were hot / toilets worked / views lovely / loads of walks / lovely Sunday dinner at the pub down the road / cafe right next door. Local shop a bit expensive. Supermarket is in Settle if required.

Site is easy to find right next to the painted green pub / Norman church. Loads of dogs / kids / BBQ's / music / walkers. If you like a nice quiet site with lots of rules and all the mod cons then this is not the site for you!

We will be back as soon as we can!

We've just come back from another brilliant stay.And are booked in again for this weekend. We camp lots but think that this can't be beaten for value, yes its basic but the village amenities make up for that; a lovely village shop with good opening hours and The Crown pub which does gorgeous food. We always find no matter where you go in Horton you always receive a warm welcome.

Reviewer: Swraighte  (3)   Date of Visit: May 2009  Unit:  Tent

Good news: cheap, basic, rustic and plenty of character. Owner is a nice chap who sits at the front of the field in his marquee, which is a tad odd but he was very friendly. Fantastic views and great starting point for the Yorkshire peaks walk, with a country pub at the end of the road for a treat when you have completed the walk. Fairly peaceful, surrounded by sheepies. Plenty of surrounding walks and hills if you don't fancy the peaks.

Bad news: We found the main field jammed packed and so we decided to go to another field, but it was uneven, uncut grass and on a slope. The toilets are extremely basic, avoid if you don't like spiders but I was told the showers were hot. I am not sure whether they live there, but young boys were parked up the front in their motorhome riding their motorbikes around the site which was very annoying and noisy. There was quite a lot of noise from the bigger field over the hedge and I heard a few people cursing at the culprits in the early hours of the morning, but I expect you can get this at any campsite. The biggest downfall for me, was the dogs! Three dogs were chained up on a practically concrete slab which barked constantly every time someone walks by. I felt so sorry for them as during my three days there, I did not see them come out of their pen. They slept in a barrel and howled throughout the night. Maybe I am not used to the life of a working farm dog!
