 We've just returned from one of our best camping holidays ever! The kids would not come out of the river - even when it was raining! I only wished we lived closer so we could visit on a weekend.
Facilities were spotless (even posh soap in the toilets) and the staff could not have been more welcoming and helpful.
Great Site Well Worth the Visit, We WILL be BACK.

Unable to agree with all the previous comments. Whilst I agree the site is situated in a beautiful part of the Dales, the walks are outstanding and both pubs friendly and serving tasty meals.
The site itself had 4 out of the 5 working unisex showers giving out very low pressure, cold water 6 of our 7 mornings. The toilets and showers needed to be cleaned more often, although this could have been because of the very high number of tents and caravans using the limited facilities during the school holiday week.
Average 21 caravans and 59 tents. The owners did not seem to be too concerned when a number of campers complained either. Pity, could be an enjoyable place to stay.

This was our second visit to this site. Our children loved to play on the river bank, although the site was so full that there wasn't so much space to play ball games, at least over the weekend.
There is no doubt that the location of this site is its greatest asset. It is really a beautiful spot, and very central for visiting.
Our gripe was that the prices didn't reflect the standard of the facilities. There were 5 (unisex) showers available for the entire site, and one of these was out of order. During our 6 night stay the showers were cold on 4 occasions. While I appreciated that the new owners made every effort to have the problem fixed, their idea of compensation was 20 pence!
Since we had paid £22 per night for our stay, this was not value for money at all, especially for the days when the showers were cold, and the Caravan Club site at Grassington would only have cost another £2. In addition to this, the bins were overflowing all week.
A disappointing stay.
Great food at the pub up the road, though.

This is a great campsite, totally level and right on the river. The new owners and staff couldn't be more helpful. The facilites are clean and meet all your needs.
There a 2 pubs within a couple of minutes walk, and it is also about 20 minutes walk along a lovely riverside path to Burnsall, which has even more drink / food options, and shop or two.
The site itself has good clean toilets, hot (free) showers & plenty of sinks for washing up. Also a free freezer for your iceblocks.
The whole site is very clean, well maintained and well organised.
If you want great walking with good facilities and good pubs nearby, you'll struggle to beat it.
(There are even free range chickens wandering around one corner of the site)

I have just returned from 4 nights camping at this site. The site was one of the best I have used. The owners were very friendly, the views from the site were tremendous, the facilities were excellent and it was so peaceful. I thought the showers which were free, were the best I have encountered. I will certainly be returning to this site.

I would agree with the last review of this site. It is in a fantastic and unspoilt part of the Yorkshire Dales close to Bolton Abbey and Burnsall (both walkable), and also to two great pubs which both serve excellent food and ales. A few supplies can be bought from the shop in Burnsall although it does have a limited choice.
The campsite itself is quite basic however this is certainly not a bad thing. The facilities were spotless,(although a hand dryer next to the sinks would be a good addition), the showers were free with plenty of hot water and the ground is flat and easy to pitch on.
It is right next to the river which during summer would be a great place to pass the time.
The new owners were extremely helpful and we really enjoyed our three night stay. In the wind and rain! We will be back.

Agree with most comments - this is an excellent site. Great location, especially being close to two pubs which were both great! (They were extensively tested as the weather was wet and windy.) The walks along the river in either direction from the site are fantastic, one leading to Burnsall the other towards Bolton Abbey.
There is no park for children however playing by the river and exploring the dry stone walls was far more entertaining for them.
The facilities were good and clean, although basic, plenty of hot water though which was good. Only drawback was nothing to dry your hands on after you washed them.
Wouldn't hesitate to go back again, just hope next time we have better weather to fully appreciate this fab location.

Well the new owners seem to have stood by the standards indicated in previous reviews.
This is a fantastic site if you want a camp site as they used to be. Its basically just a field in a wonderful tranquil location. Facilities are attached to the adjacent farmhouse and are basic but clean and more than adequate. Showers were hot and free (although the area isnt heated). Thats it really no frills, no fuss. A campsite for campers and people who love the outdoors, ( and although I am now a motorhome softy it was great to see tents).
I went midweek and it was pretty quiet but I suspect it gets busy at weekends which might stretch the facilities.
The young couple who now run it were friendly and really helpful.
Two pubs within 5 minutes walk. The Craven is has a good beer selection (five real ales) and serves the biggest meals I have ever seen. The New inn is a bit less touristy but again had a good real ale selection and good sensibly priced food.
I used this site as a midweek walking base, its on the Dales way and is perfect for walkers. I wish the new owners well and will be back very soon.

This Farm was sold September 2007 but the new owners are keeping it open as a campsite. I know this because I've booked in for a weekend in April. The new owner was a very friendly woman who was very helpful. Looking forward to another great stay at this site. Hope it's still matches the old high standards

Situated in a beautiful part of the dales right next to the river. The camp sites facilities consist of washing up area, toilets and showers all very basic but clean enough to use. (remember we are camping after all)
This is our third visit and will definitely return.

Our third visit. Came back from this gem of a site last week.
Despite a couple of rainy days we have had a great time (2 adults and 3 kids). The location is perfect for a quiet family holiday.
We had a pitch just by the field that is ideal for ball games with the kids. I would highly recommend a walk approx 1 mile to Burnsall for the best cuppa ever and a real doorstop chip butty in the tea rooms there!
It is a great base for walking and visiting the surrounding areas but you will be amazed how much time you can fill playing by the river fossil hunting and using your fishing net. The shop in Burnsall (next to the tea rooms) sells everything (local produce and fresh bread or a dingy for the river!) you could imagine and all at a reasonable price with a very friendly owner.
If you love wild life you will love it. There are rabbits, bats, red dear, we even saw a wood pecker and a heron.
Basic showers but hot and free clean loo's and great washing up facilities are here. I love this place and hope to return soon. But it is up for sale so new owners may try to change it next year. Please please please don't!. Its a little piece of heaven!

A nice and friendly, level campsite. Superb views and a pub within 2 Min's walk. We arrived using Sat Nav which I would not recommend as it took us on some roads which were not suitable for a 5.5 tonne motorhome but we arrived unscathed. The staff are very helpful and the pitches are spacious. My only complaint was that the water was too far from the pitches, which is not a problem for caravans but is for motorhomes. We will definitely go back again.

Masons was recommended to us by a friend and it was well worth a visit. The site is fairly level and has electric hook ups. Facility's are basic but clean,hot water for washing up and showers is free, no hand soap is provided in the toilet blocks so i would recommend taking your own. site owner is very nice and help full tried her hardest to find us a spot when we arrived unannounced. pitches are of ample size and most are quite well drained we had a lot of rain and the ground stayed nice and firm. the river that runs past the site is wide and deep but is a great place for the kids to play {supervised} .It is essential to take supplies as it is a 2 mile walk to nearest shop and the shop only carries the basics, the village where the shop is located has a coffee shop and a nice pub. the 2 nearest pubs to the site are about 3 Min's up the road both are nice clean pubs and both serve food but drinks are pricey. not much for the kids other than the river but there are some great walks and fantastic surroundings. a nice site and priced fairly would definitely recommend a visit and will be returning myself.
