 We've just tried out our new Hi Gear Corado 6 tent at this site as 'first-time' campers, a small family of 2 adults and one 7 year old child. The tent was fantastic albeit slightly big, and the site was immaculate, clean and tidy with all the facilities required on lush, flast green grass with clearly signposted site allocations. The play areas for the bairn was super as she made great friends immediately.
The surrounding lakes were not so tidy with poor walkways (but you can live with that), and.Unfortunately, the Barn pub whilst selling the best real ale I have ever tasted, suffered from the most poor service.
The surrounding towns are great to visit eg Ripon, very scenic although drive carefully along the narrow roads, enjoyable though! We will return to this site and would recommend it to anyone.

Spent a weekend here with friends as our first camping trip in our new tent and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Located in rural countryside the drive to it makes it seem very remote and peaceful. Easy check in, given gate code and pitch no plus map to show where to go. The pitch was marked out and our large tent filled it we were very close to neighbours and were pleased that they were friends.
The tent field had a large open space in the middle to play in and a playpark at the end which we could keep an eye on from the top of the field, would not have liked being right next to it.
The play equipment was relatively new and aimed at 5years + fenced in. Very nice site staff who were keen to help, shop was well stocked with local food at good prices. Shower facilities excellent modern and clean and plenty of hot water and toilet paper.
Went for a lovely walk around the fishing lake which is very pretty. There were lots of mosquitoes around and got badly bitten so take insect repellent, it was gorgeous hot weather too whilst we were there.
5 minutes from Fountains Abbey and close to Ripon a thriving town it is in an ideal location with lots to do. Will definitely revisit for a restful weekend again.

First visit to this site along with two other families in tents. Site very clean and tidy, bit of a walk to toilet block from top field, nice play areas. Rained but pitch was well drained. {lenty to do in area we visited Lightwater Valley. Pub on site and outdoor games for kids to use. Tent field quite busy, had a bit of an incident involving a youth relieving himself up the side of a tent with a seethrough panel -not what you want your kids to be seeing--was rapidly dealt with by staff !
Will be revisiting and have already signposted friends to this site !

Fantastic site, stayed here for two nights with our sons aged 3 and 9 and couldn't have asked for a better site.
Great pitch size perfect for our 4 person tent and car.
Toilet and shower blocks were kept clean with plenty of hot water and never a queue to use them despite it being the summer school holidays.
Play area for the children within view of our tent so we could relax whilst keeping a close eye on them.
The staff are friendly and helpful.
Only downside was the shop and bar could have been open longer considering it is the peak season.
We will definitely be visiting again.

Just got back from this site with my husband and our two children under 7.
It was very clean. There is a bathroom for £2. 00 for half a hour. For kids a bath is good.
It was quiet.
The shop opens 9 till 12 then 2 til 5. So if you run out of anything its a pretty long drive to ripon.
The barn pub is closed on a tuesday which i was annoyed about.
There is not a games room of such unless you call a open barn with a snooker table and t. V a games room.
Not a bad site. Not much for teenagers. Make your own entertainment.

A great site - stayed 2 nights on a busy weekend
Field was well sheltered from some fairly strong winds
Well-stocked shop; toilet block spotless; despite being busy didn't have to queue for showers (also spotless)
Staff were great - both friendly and helpful
Lots of young kids in the main area who looked and sounded really happy - for more peace and quiet the 'paddock' field was ideal
A great base for the walk around Studley Deer Park and Fountains Abbey
Recommended for families or loners alike
Will definitely be going back

This was the first time we visited this site but it wont be our last. Easily the best site we've visited so far (we've visited 6 so far).The pitches were large enough for our tent and car,which is impressive as we have quite a large tent and awning (10m x 5m)
The people who worked there were friendly and extremely helpful, nothing was too much for them.
The site was clean and tidy, showers were kept spotless and the water was actually hot. The dog walk was just right for the kids as-well.
There were 3 play areas for the kids,well placed around the site,1 right next to the sink area so the kids don't get bored. We never visited the pub but our friends seemed to enjoy it;)
The only bad points I found was the shop shut at 5 and they don't sell cigarettes, also it's a bit of a trek into Ripon if you forget anything (5.5 miles)

The approach is through country roads that are quite narrow, if you are towing make sure you stick to the guidance on their website or you may come a cropper.
The site was well laid out for touring vans on hardstanding with good pitch sizes. There was a large tent field that seemed pretty packed and was buzzing with kids playing. There is a lovely good sized play area in the main tent field that attracted the kids and a smaller one near the wash area for the dinky's, both are well maintained. An older metal climbing frame stands in the centre of the caravan field.
Showers and toilets were all clean and tidy. The pot wash area is a bit of a disappointment, cramped with sinks that were so small our plates would not fit in them - how we laughed!
There is a pub on site - beer is on draught and a good pint was served. Food is standard pub fayre, but adequate. They do get busy at weekends, tables are booked and as the kitchen is small you could end up waiting some time for your food. However the luxury of someone doing the cooking and washing up with beer in real glasses is well worth it.
There is a shop that appears well stocked. Overall it was a good clean site with friendly staff, great for kids and we would visit again.

We visited this site for a long weekend with friends and thoroughly enjoyed it.
We have 2 children aged 2 and 10 and they were more than happy to play in the centre of the caravan field on the climbing frames, playing football, riding their bikes etc, they were always where we could see them !
The site was lovely and peaceful even though there were lots of caravans and tents, there was a fab adventure playground in the tent field which the kids enjoyed !
There are some nice walks around the site as they have a fishing lake which the kids thought was great as there were baby frogs everywhere ! We visited Ripon which is a nice little town and Brimham Rocks which is a fab day out and very cheap!
The toilets and showers on the site were clean, although we did have to queue a couple of times but the site was very full. There is a small shop on the site if you find you have forgotten to bring something but there are also supermarkets in Ripon.
Overall a really good site and would definitely return.

Getting to the site is a lovely ride, it is in the middle of nowhere, but that was great, no noise, so I thought the first impressions were great very welcoming
Good clean size pitches, excellent showers, never had to wait in line, shop very basic but roughly 25 min drive to sainsburys for supplies. A really great relaxing site, now although a park for kid is there you will need to amuse your kids so take ball games etc.
Now for a niggle, camp rules state 10pm curfew on noise this was not obeyed at all, the parks were full with kids til after 12pm some nights, extremely noisy. If with small children do be aware,

The site I think was full but didn't feel too cramped. The play areas are very impressive and my children were happy and it felt safe. There was a barrier to get in and out and each car had a code to enter.
The dog walking area was large and my dog had a great time.
There is a cycle path that the kids enjoyed.
The washing sinks were small but manageable.
The toilets were cleaned regularly although again the bins got full fast and paper towels ended up all over the floor at times but this was due to our fellow campers.
The area was beautiful. We tended to go to Masham which was about a 10 minute drive and had some nice pubs. Ripon is very close.
I would definitely stay again.

We last visited in 2007 and the owners have significantly invested in the facilities since then. The toilet and showers were clean and provision is good for the pitch numbers with no waiting. Showers are push button type but are hot and free so OK by me. There are also several washing up sinks with hot water. The sinks are a little small and there is not much space between to hold dirty and clean crockery but this is a small niggle.
The reception and pitching process was great with friendly informative staff and the site looked well kept with short grass and clearly marked and numbered pitches.
There are 2 play areas for the kids, fishing lakes and dog walks provided and the bar on site is very friendly with well kept Ale ( being almost within sight of Theakstons brewery it should be!). We ate Sunday lunch in the bar before leaving for home and the food was very good and the portions were yorkshireman compliment, we do like to feel that we have secured value for money.
There is lots to do in the surrounding area and a vist to Thorpe Perrow Arboretum and Falconry is highly recommended. A family ticket for 2adults and 3 children was £23.00 and provided a full day out with gardens, falconry displays, woodland walks, play area and plant sales all included.
Just a note of caution, follow the directions to the site carefully and do not try to take a caravan via Winksley. The lane is very very narrow and you won't pass. Come in via Grantley or Kirby Malzard and you will be fine.

Nice site but not near anywhere, because we went when it was quiet, the bar didn't open everynight (fair enough), but when we went for a drive out to find a pub we drove round for ages before we could find anything suitable.
There are 2 great playgrounds for the children and they loved looking at the hens and lambs in the field.
My only bug bear was the cleanliness of the toilets. We visited at a quiet time but the toilets were not cleaned for days, and even though there were not a lot of people using them I still felt they should have been cleaned everyday.
The staff were great and really helpful.
If you like the country you will love this site but unfortunately it was too far out for us to visit again.

Large site, but divided up well so it doesn't feel like it. Great location for plenty of attractions and places to go. Restaurant was great. Kids liked the playground and space in the middle of the field. Staff very friendly on check in, but never saw anyone else again around site, so whilst we were given a list of rules on arrival no-one seemed to bothered about whether anyone kept to them.
Sinks at washing up facilities waste of time as they're far too small and could do with some cold taps. Toilet block got very muddy after a day of heavy rain, which is understandable but there was no great rush to clean them, and they ran out of bog roll in the toilets. Rubbish was over flowing all the bins all the time when we were there.
To be honest, OK place but doubt we'd go back.

We have visited this site twice now and will be going again. The staff are friendly and the toilet block and showers always clean with lots of hot water.
There is a fishing lake and dog walking areas around the site. Lots of play areas for the kids and open space for ball games kite flying etc.
Limited electric hook ups for tents so book early if you want one. There is a great little bar/ pub on the site it is very small though, it also serves great food at reasonable prices but again you need to pre-book at busy times due to the limited space.
There is also a small shop for basics. Would recommend the local pub the Halfmoon at Fellbeck short drive away (great food).
Lots to do locally Ripon, Studley Royal, Pateley Bridge and Harrogate all within easy reach.
Will be visiting again.
