 Very clean peaceful site. The facilities are basic but we've had worse. The pitches have plenty of room and so even when it 's full it 's never overcrowded. Stayed for two nights and didn't want to go home. A wonderful place for young children to explore in safety. Definitely go back

We loved this site, the owners were nice and friendly. The facilities though dated were far better than other sites we've been to. Our two boys thought it was great, they could explore without us having to keep a constant eye on them, and they loved splashing about in the stream which runs through the site. We will definitely be going back, it was our most enjoyable and relaxing holiday yet, sometimes hard with a 4 year old!

14 or us stayed at the Camping Barn, as it only sleeps 12 we were allowed to pitch a tent at the side. This is an excellent, well kept site, with very friendly owners. The campsite itself has plenty of shelter from the elements by way of tall hedges with good pitch sizes.
We couldn't have picked a better weekend for the weather so can't comment on drainage problems.
Only downside is that 'Due to Retirement' the 'Camping Barn' is to be no more from the end of the season and is being turned into a 2 bedroom cottage. But for camping then it's an excellent site in idyllic surroundings.

Quiet site with friendly staff. The field(s) are on a slight slope but nothing to worry about, and the toilets/showers are clean, if a little dated.( 20p for shower).
It was full while I was there but it was still not crowded, and with all the pitches numbered , I can`t imagine it getting crowded as they do leave you plenty of room. The only down side is that there is no pub on the doorstep, but I knew that already so I can`t really complain.
There is a stream that runs down one side of the site, so if you don`t like the sound of running water, it may pay you to request a pitch on the other side of the field. All in all, a nice site with good views over Middleham and its castle.

We were very impressed with this site. The owner was very friendly and helpful, and we were not treated as an inconvenience, which you are at some other sites.
The site itself was well-kept - the grass was short and the toilets spotless (if a little dated). The views were fantastic and, despite the fact that it was Bank Holiday and the site was full, it still managed to be peaceful.
There are 2 large dog-walking fields, but the best bit is there are footpaths directly out of the site in all directions - including a pleasant walk into the charming town of Leyburn, with its supermarket, pubs, take-aways etc. We'll definitely be back.

Lovely quiet campsite with stunning views (although it is not very big so it may get noisier at busy periods). The owners were lovely and it is conveniently close to the centre of Leyburn, so it was possible to wander to a few pubs and then stagger home by torchlight.
The showers were fine, although there were only two, so I anticipate they get a bit busy when there are lots of people.
It was quite bad weather (sleet!) when we camped. I went with a friend and we camped at the bottom of the field near to the stream. We had great views but we got very waterlogged (the owner did try to warn us).
Incidentally, there is also a great camping barn, if you fancy a weekend away with a group. The bunk beds are fairly basic, and you'll need your own bedding, but it has a big dining table and a large garden at the back, again with fantastic views. Nice and peaceful and you feel completely cut off as other campers are shielded from view.

Craken house is a lovely quiet site with lovely friendly owners, who are quite happy to help you if they can. Set in two fields with a gorgeous view of the dales,we were in the top field and had a fntastic view. Can get a bit water logged in the rain but owner is quite happy to help you out.
Shower was nice and clean and the water was nice and hot, the bins were emptied daily so the site is nice and clean. we havnt got a dog but you can take them as there was a few there. The map of directions is slightly out as the road onto the site is flat and from the map we went down a steep hill, The actual road is the road from leyburn to middleham not leyburn to bedale as it states on the map.
Not much there for small children if the weather is bad, but we will be going back again sometime this year as it is only £12.50 for a family of 5 including hook up. If you like horses and can get up early you can watch the jockeys working the horses on the low moor in middleham, what a lovely sight and the kids love it too.
There is local shops, pubs,resturant and chippy, also on friday there is a local market brilliant!
