 Just back from our second visit to this top-notch site. The site is clearly sign-posted, which is essential in this rural area. The site owners are welcoming, and drove us to our pitch, selecting the least waterlogged one for us (it was raining lots!). We were on the camp field this time, close to the toilet block. Loos were very clean, and plentiful. Washing up facilities were clean with good free hotwater.
The site was quiet, and coped reasonably well with the rain -- some inevitable muddiness, but it all drained away quite quickly. Shop has basic supplies, 10p to freeze ice packs.
Lovely site, we'll be back!

Excellent first class site! very friendly and helpful staff. Toilet block immaculate. Play areas fantastic (3 around the site). Had a meal at the barn which was very reasonable priced and very tasty. Basic but sensibly priced shop on site. Husband enjoyed the fishing lake.
Overall ten out of ten for this site and the staff! only downside is the getting there along very narrow country roads hoping nobody else going to be coming the other way.

Excellent site. I went alone with my two children (9 and 11) for the spring bank week and felt very safe. Had my husband been with me we would have certainly made use of the fishing facilities.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
The site is very well spaced out - we were in the childrens field, the pitches were enormous and only a short walk to the shop/receptions/loos etc.
We ate in the restaurant and the food was fantastic - book though to avoid disappointment.
The toilets and showers were very clean and there was a family bathroom which was spotless and a great idea.
Would definitely go again.

Just returned from a 5 night half term week break. Its was our first visit and we will definitely return. THe site is a haven for families. We have a 14 month baby and 5 year old-it found the site to be safe and clean, the staff were very friendly and helpful.
We had a mix of rain and sunny weather - its a gorgeous place when the sun shines! Site has 3 small park / play areas and shower block is well maintained and kept very clean. Also has a family bathroom you can hire for £2.00 - it was spotlessly clean - and a necessity with a 14 month baby!
Got chance to get the kids clean. Nice hot showers (free). Food at the site restaurant is amazing - fab home cooked food - but book in early! Can;t wait to go back. Plenty of room left around the tent pitch - not cramped in. Site is quite remote from anywhere - about 5 miles from Ripon centre - but there is a Sainsbury;s in Ripon to stock up on. Lots to do around the area and only 50 mins from York!

Lovely weekend. Staff delightful especially with respect to walking arrangements, general info etc. Pub wonderful though didn't eat, others guests spoke favourably. Some grand folk about!
New block excellent though older block not adequate for hot showers or washing up,(water temp), but I didn't mention this to them at the time.
Will recommend and return.

I don't think you can beat this site in the area for value for money. An on-site pub, excellent shower block kept very clean and tidy, play areas in several parts of the park, large camping fields, good sized pitches, fishing lake if you like that sort of thing, and walks from the site without having to drive anywhere: everything you want.
And we paid an extremely reasonable price for a big family tent (no extra charge just for having what is becoming the norm' sized tent) far below those of many sites offering far less in terms of on-site facilities.
We will be going there again, swapping our allegiancies from a nearby site by the river.

This is our 2nd visit to the camp. A nice relaxing weekend. The camp was quiet so we were able to get a seat in the clubhouse. The weather was hit and miss so the camp was wet. The children could not play on the park because of the weather, but played with the large games on sight upstairs.
We visited Fountains Abbey which was enjoyable and went into Ripon. We also went to Stump Cross Caves, it was expensive and certainly not worth the half hour tour down the cavern.
Over all a good weekend very good camp and will go back again perhaps when it's better weather.

Good size pitches, staff very helpful, excellent pub serving home cooked food. Showers are ok but not sure if they will have enough to cope when the site is full.
Considering we awoke to snow on 2 mornings we had a great time here. Vist Brimham rocks if you have never been - great day out.

This site is one of the best I have ever been to, it is very clean and very well managed, the showers are clean and tidy, a well stocked shop, the play areas for children are brill best I have seen.
The restaurant/bar on the site, The Woodhouse Barn, is very nice. I would have liked to try a meal there but even though we had cut our trip to Ripon short and returned to the site at 5pm on a Sat night hoping to book a table, we were told it was fully booked. So if you want a meal on the weekend book real early. Maybe if they told visitors when they arrive at reception that, they might not be disappointed like we were. But thats ok because we will return to this site in the future.
The thing I like too about this site is that they dont cram you in like sardines there is plenty of space. Try the local made bread they sell in the shop as it is tastes great. Vist Brimham rocks which is a 15 min drive away, its £3.50 to park and its a great walk. And also Ripon is a great place to visit the Cathedrel is a very impressive building. All in all a great site.

Having read the many reviews of this site we went for a weekend before the end of the summer and found the site to be very good in all departments.
The site is well laid out with plenty of space between the marked pitches, the toilet blocks were well kept and clean. Plenty of hot water always available. We didn't try the meals in the bar but they looked very good and the portions were large. The directions to the site supplied by the owners does take you down a couple of narrow lanes with sharp turns andthis may be a problem to those towing large caravans but the setting will make the trouble worthwhile. My only gripe if pushed would be the low number of washing-up sinks that can cause a wait following meal times. A great site that we will use again.

This was our first camping trip.
The toilets were kept very clean sometimes a bit cold after shower because windows always wide open.
The site was always very clean. In the shop you never knew who was serving, young children serving a lot. We went in the pub first night, told no take away food by young girl behind bar, then near the end of week my son was told they did do food so we asked again this time were told yes but only before 5:30. I think food should be served take away longer if the kids got hungry late on. Shop closed at 8:30 so I think this is something they should look at. The parks went down well with kids 6, 9, 11 and 13. The dog walking area could do with being extended a lot, smaller than we expected but at least he had a bit of a run. This is the first campsite we have been to, not sure if we will return, but we had a good time while we were there. Didn't use the launderette so dont know what that was like.

Moved on to here from a disappointing stay at a site in Richmond. Glad we did, this is a great site for exploring this part of the world.
I love fishing and the large lake was very picturesque and created a lovely walk with the dog whether it be early morning or at dusk. From my experience and talking to many of the anglers, the lake was not easy to fish but provided an excellent venue even if you did not "bag up".
The other "lake" only just qualifies as a pond!
The restaurant on site supplied good food and a good pint, I will definitely visit this site again as it also has a large play area for the kids.
There is a shop on site for the basics and more. The new toilets were very good and the ones that they replaced were still in use but need upgrading.
With the market town of Ripon close by and many other villages, the area has lots of pubs providing good food and places to explore.

This was our first time to this site (2 adults 2 children, 9&4) with a tent.
We were very impressed by the site, everyone was very friendly.
The site has a very relaxed feel about it, there are 3 separate play park areas, the largest having goal posts which my eldest loved. One of the other play parks was beside the washing up area so ideal for parents washing up and children playing very close by.
The pub is fab, brilliant food, although can get very busy, we booked and this wasn't a problem.
Toilet areas were adequate, very modern, only problem here was not enough bins for paper towels, these seemed to be continually overflowing, a couple of extra bins would be a good idea and not make the place look as untidy as it could due to the overflowing bins.
There is a great dog walk, everyone one seemed to have their dogs with them which was great, we had our pup Lola with us who entertained everyone and she was very popular on her first camping outing!
The shop/reception was also very good, small but stocked everything you could require.
My husband enjoyed fishing on the lake, a great way to get away from it all and in walking distance! There is lots of places local to visit, we went to Ripon, Thirsk, Catterick (for Sunday Market at Racecourse - very good), and Knaresborough. All in all we had a very relaxing fab time and couldn't fault the place, will definitely be returning next year.

We thought we'd brave the inevitable wet weather ( Glastonbury weekend!) but actually we were very lucky, didnt rain too much until after we'd got tents down!
This site is lovely, lots for the kids to do,good washing facilities ( although there is room to fit more sinks in- only 3 at moment) plenty of clean, free showers & toilets & pub serving yummy food- what more could you ask for & all this in beautiful surroundings only 5/6 miles from the lovely market town Ripon. The only down side as someone else pointed out was the size of the site bar but we were informed that they were to undergo a refit soon which included extending it & also a new games room for the kids with new equipment.
We had 3 tents in our party & were accommodated very well by friendly, helpful staff. The units are pitched so that there is plenty of room for ball games etc.
All in all a great weekend, well worth the money& we will definitely return!

We have visited this site now a number of times and are never disappointed. Fantastic site, great park and play field for kids. Staff are very friendly and always helpful. Pitches are very spacious don't feel like your on top of each other. Lovely pub onsite we havent eaten in pub but have got takeaway chips from there for kids which is great especially on a fri night when getting set up! Would definitely recommend this site and we will returning again soon
