Having visited many times before, it still remains to be an excellent site for all campers and caravanners. The small bar / restaurant now offers a good choice for both adults and children although booking is recommended. We will definitely visit again.

Been twice this month so far, and no complaints at all. Showers busy in the morning, but only to be expected when weather is good and camp-site full.
Had to stay in overflow field due to late arrival, but still not too far from showers etc.
No set pitch sizes, so large tents easily accomodated.
Owners very friendly and helpful, and tour site at around 10pm each evening to ensure nobody making too much noise.
All in all a good site!

We've been using this site since the early 90's using both Tent and caravan. I really am sorry to hear Cumbrian_Girl had such a bad time. We've used all the fields in all types of weather (apart from snow) and didn't have any problems. If you could face it again Cumbrian, I really would recommend giving it a second chance.
The site is always kept tidy and the toilet facilities are excellent. The owners are very friendly and helpful. There are plenty of areas for children to play and the noise from them doesn't seem to be in your face like some campsites we've been to. There is also a coarse fishing pond on the site with a good stock of fish. Fountains Abbey is just up the road and is worth a visit.

This was an excellent site and we are booking to go back for the August Bank Holiday. This site has everything you need, the fields were great for tents, the shower blocks were new, clean and plenty of hot water. My husband and the kids thought the fishing was good but the kids thought the play areas were even better. We ate in the pub one night and the food was fantastic and was excellent value for money. We are really looking forward to our next visit. It is definitely on our favourites list.

Just visited this lovely site with our children aged 4 and 6 and were very impressed. Good facilities, loads of room and friendly staff. Our only complaint was that we were in the bottom corner of the paddock next to where they dump the grass cuttings off the field. The smell was rather pungent on a hot summers day! Surely on a site this big they could find somewhere else to create a massive compost heap. Would go again but choose a different pitch.

Just had a great weekend at Woodhouse Farm. They were brilliant with our large (families) group this weekend - which is refreshing. Also when I booked in, they were arranging pitches so other groups could be placed together.
The site is in a great location, with easy access to town or Dales. On-site pub which does food 3 times a day, but can't comment in these because didn't use it, but was always bustling, so they are obviously doing something right.
We were in the Paddock area & can appreciate the previous comments about the bottom of the field in wet weather - but that's the same anywhere, you need to pick your pitch sensibly - and there is plenty of space to choose from.
We had a great day out at Brimham rocks, and spent the rest of the time playing football & cricket in the large field available.
Great place - couldn't fault it/

I note with interest the comments made by Cumbrian Girl.
We had a similar story, We were on the main hook-up field at the bottom when the clouds burst, we had no way out as the field was flooded. Now this is never mentioned in their adverts that the fields are prone to flooding in inclemant weather, nor does it state how unhelpful the management are when asking for help in getting off their premises. We will never visit again.

Just back from Woodhouse - what a great campsite. The owners were very friendly & helpful putting our group together on the same pitch. Such a refreshing attitude on a campsite - to make groups welcome. Loads of room for our tents.
Didn't go to the onsite BlackSheep pub, but it was always busy, so must be doing something right.
Had a great day at Brimham Rocks, and Ripon & Dales only a few miles away.
Will definitely be going back.
Pete, York.

A very spacious site on a working farm.
We went during whit week and although people were coming and going all week, it never seemed overcrowded.
Theres a lovely lake if your a fisherman, or you can just a walk around it if your not.
The 'childrens' field has the play area in the middle with the pitches running around the perimeter, good idea as you can see your kid's from any pitch.
Pub on site, good quality food, large portions and fair prices.
Nothing really within walking distance but Ripon is a short drive in one direction and Patley Bridge a short drive in the other, as are Brimham Rocks. Well worth a visit.
The only thing that let us down was the great British weather, but we are going back in September for a weekend.
All in all, an excellent site.

Just returned from a 4 day break. We arrived after the bank holiday weekend rush. The campsite was spotless and the grass was just been given a cut. Good clean toilet / shower block. Good amenities to wash up. Excellent food from the bar / restaurant. Other nights there was a pasta night and a barbeque.
Kids enjoyed the play areas and the freedom to run about. Went fishing in the lake (very peaceful). Staff were very friendly. Would hightly recommend.

Just returned after 4 nights on this site. Pitches excellent, and site well maintained. Shower block / toilet very clean. Good area to stay with many attractions close by - Fountains Abbey, Ripon, and York (45 mins). Good facilities for children (ours 3 & 5. Ate in restaurant on our last night (£20 for the 4 of us - steak pie good). Picturesque fishing lake (£2 for evening ticket). Would recommend and hope to return soon.

Just returned early from this campsite over the bank holiday weekend, and have to agree whole heartedly with the previous review.
It was fairly muddy when we arrived, but after a night and morning of rain it turned into a mud bath. We were unable to sit outside because of the amount of mud when the weather did turn better, but any amount of time stood in the mud and you sunk.
Other sites have telephoned before hand and warned before hand of conditions and it would have been considerate of her to do this as conditions were appalling.

Just return from our first camping trip of the year, and the most disastrous one I ever had in all my years of camping. I went based on the reviews here, but nowhere does it mention what happens if it rains. So let me fill you in. We were in the Paddock area, where the large standard tent pitches were. The ground is like clay and great for just pushing tent pegs in, but incredibly soft too. Easter Sunday and every tent there, bar us vanished in the morning. We thought this was strange, it's only rain, and we set off about our day, only to find when we got back why everyone had left. The pitch was now a bog, flooded in the middle of the site, and saturated with water everywhere else, it felt like walking through a bog. There is NO gravel path at all onto the field, this usually annoys me on any campsite, but even more so on here, considering what happens when it rains.
We made the decision to pack up in the pouring rain and head home now, any more rain, and gawd knows what might of happened. Next fun trying to get out of the campsite, we just slid on the hill, nearly into some poor persons caravan. Wrecking their wind-break, and knocking over their BBQ and hot coals everywhere. But then the strangest thing happened, you wouldn't have forgiven them if they went mad. But they didn't, and actually helped us get our car of the field. The kindest of strangers huh.
As for the facilites, if you are still interested, there was a outside lit washing up area, a laundarette, which we never used so can't comment. Toilets were fine, reasonably clean, and showers were free and hot, but when the morning rush starts, they loose all water pressure, there was no divide between the shower area, and the drying area. Hence no drying area, in the cubicle. In the dry this campsite is probably fine, but with the great British weather, how can we guarantee fine weather!!

Just returned from excellent weekend at Woodhouse Farm. Owners very friendly, tent pitches nice and level, and lots of pitches to choose from at this time of year! Free hot showers, washing-up area, everything clean. Good real ale in the pub on site. The weather was good too - what more can you wish for!

It was Bank holiday weekend, we had an excellent time here plenty of room, they could have filled it with another 100 tents if they wanted, but they had a sign up bookings only. Excellent home made food served in the bar, hot water in the showers and washing up, the showers were always spotless, the staff always acknowledged you - they were all very friendly.
No litter anywhere. I have camped in quite a lot of places and I could not find fault at all with this site, I will definatly be going again. AAAAAAAA+++++++
