 This was a last minute booking as we suddenly had the chance to get away but couldn't go far.
The site was easy to find and helpful in pitch allocation. Most staff were friendly and helpful, but some were a bit grumpy!
Although it was busy we still managed to get a swim in and the play area certainly kept the kids entertained.
Toilets were clean and tidy. Shop was handy, but a short walk into Ripley provided a wonderful butchers and farm shop.
The weekend was made by our friendly neighbours and we would visit again if we were short on time and just needed a quick getaway.

What a fantastic site! Great staff and facilities and a wonderful spot for all of Yorkshire incl Fountains Abbey and Lightwater Valley not to mention York. The weekend was busy but that was not a problem as all pitches were well allocated and placed. Ripley village and castle next door and you could also enjoy a firework display on the Saturday evening when there was a wedding on at the castle. This site should be a model for others.

We only stayed at this caravan park for the weekend, we had a nice relaxing time.
The campsite has a well stocked shop and very reasonable prices. It also has an indoor swimming pool and sauna. It has a really good park for the older children, which our little boy loved. It also had a room with a variety of toys for toddlers to play in. Situated next to the playroom was a games room with a pool table, table tennis table and games machines.
On a Saturday night a mobile fish and chip van comes onto site, I can honestly say the fish and chips are exceptionally good.
Ripley village is within walking distance and Harrogate town centre is only a ten minute drive.
Staff are friendly and helpful. Site fees are very reasonable.

Just returned from a lovely weekend here (The weather was lovely, which does help), haven't been for a number of years as we were put off in the past by the noise, however this weekend we were pitched quite some distance from the playground which meant it was lovely and quiet and our little man didn't mind the walk to the playground. He very much enjoyed feeding the ducks, as they visited the van regularly.
The staff were pleasant and the toilet block always clean.
The swimming pool is small but adequate. Nice area. We will be back.

On arrival if there is more than two units checking in space is tight and traffic doesn't move, you are shown to your pitch following a golf buggy. The pitches are tight and people are always walking close by or kids on bikes and the odd duck.
Toilets are clean but stall type like school. Showers are free but not much space. All in all not a bad site but not one that leaves me wanting to rush back.

When we stayed we were lucky enough to have glorious sunshine. This was our first expedition for 2 years and our little boy is now 3 and a half years old and we also have a seven month old baby. Also 2 dogs, but we have always had them!
I had read the reviews and asked in advance to be pitched by the playground. I was glad I had as our 3 year old spent all of his time there with all his new friends! The baby was able to watch the children and was kept happily amused.
Plus points; fab playground, large pitches for tents and all with electric, clean toilet / shower block (despite the site being rammed) although some people need to learn showering etiquette and mop up after themselves! great little swimming pool, nice chips from the chippy van that visits on a saturday teatime, good effort with the recycling, nice walk into Ripley, very friendly pub / hotel in Ripley which is really posh but welcomed us with our buggy, child, and 2 dogs into their beer garden.
Negatives; one staff member very sullen (although all the others really nice), the dog walk is a nice gesture but no good at all for 2 large dogs who need a lot of exercise in fact there was nowhere nearby that they could be let off their leads,and finally no bar which is not of huge importance to us as we were well stocked but the bloke next to us was a bit peeved.
Definitely a good site if you have children, but we may not return purely because of the dog walking. We have to please everyone in our family!

Really nice campsite. Is quite large and was full over the weekend we stayed. We had a really nice pitch next to the ball field, the pitch was very spacious with lots of room for our dome tent and people carrier, with room left over. The campsite has a good playground which our two kids (aged 4 and 3) loved.
The site shop was basic but sold what you'd need. The kids loved the swimming pool which was very good value at £1 each. The walk into Ripley village took about 10 minutes with the kids, cutting across the field. We had a lovely couple of drinks in the beer garden at the Boars Head, and the kids liked the ice cream.
All in all, this was a lovely campsite, a bit noisier than some perhaps but very spacious, clean with good facilities and in a gorgeous location. We will definitely come again.

We stopped here over the Easter weekend. We booked in at reception & a ranger showed us to our pitch which was well sheltered by some trees.
The site was full but there was no problems with queueing for toilets or showers which were cleaned on a regular basis. There is a dog walk, a field for ball games & an indoor swimming pool. The shop is well stocked & reasonable.
Ripley is a lovely little village about tw0 minutes walk from site, with Pub / hotel & shops + the Castle & Museum.
There is a mobile chip shop on site on Saturday evenings. It gets there around 5.30 pm & starts serving around 6pm. Please queue early as it is very popular. We will certainly return again!

Had a lovely 4 nights on this campsite. Staff very helpful and friendly. Toilets and showers spotless. Good swimming pool, my little lad loved it, also decent park for the kids and a big playing field.
Pitches had plenty of room. Site kept very clean. We were lucky with the weather, sun shone all week and the little lad was sad to leave.
Really enjoyed it and there was no noise from anywhere on the site after 10pm, only thing I can say is that the ducks wake up pretty early some mornings.
Nice walk into ripley, short drive to light water valley and to ripon and only a short drive to old mother shipton. Plenty to do and see

After many good reviews we arrived at this site with high hopes.
It was a weekend stay and the site was full and understandably quite noisy and we did feel the pitches were a little on the small side but this did not dampen our spirits.
The toilets and showers did however as they were dirty. It looked as though all the children on the site had visited unsupervised and strewn toilet roll all over the block and the floor for the whole weekend was wet and dirty. The toilets themselves were at a backward angle so our 9 year old couldn't get on for fear of banging his head!
The shop was very basic and had odd opening times and the pool looked pleasant but we didn't use it.
Ripley village and castle is gorgeous and would recommend it to anyone but I certainly couldn't say the same of the site.

This is a lovely site, central for visiting the many attractions / towns on offer. A small but very clean swimming pool. Toilet / shower blocks are cleaned very regularly.
Staff very friendly & helpful. Fish & chip van on site 1730 on saturday evenings, although we didn't use it so cant comment on the quality. Judging by the long queue waiting for it to arrive, I should think they are very good! We were lucky enough to have fabulous weather for the 4 days we were there.
Dogs are allowed on the site, as long as they are well behaved & kept on a lead. We had a dog with us & were pleased to see that everyone seemed to adhere to the rules. Re previous comment on being pitched next to tents???? We heard nothing after 10/1030 at night, as per the site rules. Perhaps this caravanner has a tent phobia????

Lovely campsite. Seemed busy but still very quiet on a night apart from the ducks on the first night. They weren't so bad on the other nights! People were friendly but kept themselves to themselves.
Clean toilet blocks and hot showers. Kids used swimming pool very refreshing after a hot day although they have to be accompanied by an adult if they are under 15. The playground is big although our kids are older and weren't bothered by it.
Nice walk from the campsite into Ripley. There's also a nice walk at the side of the castle. Visited Fountaines Abbey and Studley Royal. Beautiful walks there and at Brimham rocks.Will definitely return to this site.

Site very nice. Pitches nice and long and plenty of room for awning and car an room left for BBQing. Staff welcoming and friendly and the toilet block is cleaned regularly throughout the day. We were pitched on hard standing near the play area as requested.
Only problem being it backed on to the tents and as it was bank holiday was very busy and noisy late at night. Our 1yr old loved the inside play area and the swimming pool is a bonus at just £1 each.
Walk in to Ripley village and have an ice-cream. It is gorgeous (and I don't normally eat it). Children's play area is fine for older kids but very young children would be bored and our 1yr old soon was as there was nothing for that age.

This was only our second time out with the caravan, when you drive up the drive, me and my wife both look at each other and said WOW !
This was quite a large site ( too big to let the kids run/ride out of sight ) you know what mother hens are like.
There is a small play are for the kids which they enjoyed.
The site was very clean and very tidy I had a little walk to get water and a little further for the toilet block, not that it caused any problem at all for us.
There is a swimming pool ( indoor ) which was a bonus however the changing rooms where not heated, hence the time of year they were cold!
The on site shop was stocked well, and the supermarket was only a very short drive away.
Price for the site was very good .

Having not been here for 4 years we decided to visit Ripley Caravan Park. The park is well maintained and was quiet as it was nearing the end of the season. The toilet blocks were clean and facilities of good standard.
Walking distance from Ripley and not far from Brimham Rocks, it is well placed. We were a little surprised to be sited on grass when it was quite muddy despite there being numerous hard standings available.
There is a large pond on site so take your ear plugs as the ducks start quacking around 4am. Its worth visiting however for its proximity to Ripley.
