 Lovey Site and very friendly with good walks and scenery.

Only downside was the chemical waste gave off a nasty smell (very poor cover over the pit) when used by guests,

Also the rubbish bin was not completely emptied in our 5d stay which created a nice crop of flies, which made our pitch next to that fenced area a bit smelly and requiring van window closed

Often mentioned it to the lady so hopefully she could easily fix for other guests.

Yes I would stay again but well away from that pitch.

 I enquired via the form on here and received a swift response telling me they had space, a list of facilities and details on how to pay. They prefer bank transfer, so that was swiftly done and my pitch was confirmed.

I arrived on site, and found my pitch with no problem, they put a marker out with my name on it. The owner did come and greet me and she was a lovely chatty lady, who left me to it, but was always around if I needed assistance.

My pitch was a grass pitch by the hedge overlooking the sheep field and the beautiful hills in the background. I did not have electric, however this was available if required and they also had a few hard standing pitches if that is your thing. My pitch also had a picnic bench on it, which was very useful and was right outside the campervan.

The site has one toilet, one shower and a washing up sink. The sink was only cold water, however it was perfect for my needs. The shower was two showers in one block, however there was not a curtain or division, so would be ok for families. They were electric showers and were plenty warm and powerful enough and it was a wetroom, but easily dealt with by using the supplied chair. A mop was also in there to wipe away any excess water / muck.

The toilet was stocked with loo roll, a sink, towel and cleaning products. All these facilities were kept very clean and to a good standard.

They would charge batteries, phones, etc if you needed it and they would freeze blocks, etc for you too

There was no reception on either Three or GiffGaff, however if you really need to check your email, then you can get wifi if you stand close to the farmhouse, this felt a bit awkward as the window was open and I could hear people outside. Luckily I only used it a couple of times, and it was free, so I am not complaining and ensured I could check in at home.

The views are absolutely amazing and I just spent hours looking, watching the sheep, and generally relaxing. I decided to take a walk from the site and took on a 7 miles walk up to the top of the hill and along the disused railway line to Thorgill and then back through Rosedale Abbey. It was a tough climb, but well worth it, the views looking back were simply stunning.

Rosedale Abbey is a small village with a pub, a tea room, couple of shops and had a very relaxed vibe about it. It is only about 1 mile to the village from the site along the footpath.

I didn't venture further afield as was only here for one night and chose it for its location and walking from site. Walking is in abundance with so much choice.

There was nothing for children expect a nice open space to play, so perfect for children that know how to live without the use of gadgets and internet!

I loved this site and will definitely come back, although I would suggest they put a sign up at the entrance as I drove past the first time, however turning around was not a problem in the campervan, it may have been harder with a caravan on the back.

I paid £9 for the night for me, my campervan and dog, and as an added bonus they allow campfires and have recycling facilities.

 We used this site for our maiden voyage in our 'new to us' caravan. Tracy kindly ensured we had an easy to manoeuvre pitch.

The views from the site are amazing and the valley is crisscrossed with public footpaths, we walked in a different direction every day.

This is a very peaceful site if you discount the farm noises which are part and parcel of rural sites.

We love this site and have already booked to return in June.

 Excellent site, great views, Friendly owners, peaceful, great farm noises and animals,

If I had one useful point to the owners it would be to put a sign at entrance off main road otherwise no faults.

We have no child so cannot give a rating, We have had to give a mid value just to give a rating, when we have no idea.

 Low Bell End Farm is situated on the hillside just outside Rosedale Abbey with endless views across the countryside. The place is perfect and only a short walk into the village with a choice of walking along the river or the roadside.

Tracy and her family are extremely friendly and offer helpful advice if you are unfamiliar with the area. It is a working farm with early starts and a few cockerels at 5am.

The field is open and large with plenty of space between pitches and there is electric hook up so you can have some home comforts! The only downside is that there is only one toilet and two showers, these have no curtains so really only one person can use at a time.

Despite that they were clean although I would suggest you take spare toilet rolls. The weather was perfect for the duration of our stay but if there is a lot of rain the field would get very soggy so just be aware.

If you like clean but rustic I would recommend this site and it is perfect for either walking or cycling

 Beautiful site, stunning views and a gorgeous breakfast brought to the campervan (at a very good price for the quality of food and service).

Food available on site to order for own cooking including pizzas and BBQ pack. Also breakfast brought to your outfit on the campsite.

Good facilities. Toilet and 2 showers - clean and available when we needed them. There are no curtains on the cubicles as highlighted by another reviewer but there is a lock on the door so no need to share!

Short and pretty walk into the village of Rosedale Abbey, good pub with good food and choice of cafes.

Good walking from the site.

Hook up was good and offered a split for campervan and tent.

Good booking experience, swift response and clear instructions.

Characterful, practical, and a gem.

Reviewer: John B. 11 reviews from this member

 Not the easiest site to get to but well worth the effort. Grass neatly cut, very slight slope, the view is to die for, we literally spent hours just sat looking at it!

Would have scored it 10 out of 10 but, oh dear, that chemical disposal point is not nice, campers with weak stomachs beware!

We will certainly be back.

Reviewer: SJSScotland 10 reviews from this member

 Stayed here as part of a tour of North Yorkshire and the location is stunning. Easy walk/cycle into Rosedale Abbey village with pubs and cafes. Most of the pitches are in a grass field, we had the one hardstanding, which we were glad of due to wet weather - the field was quite boggy. Owner very friendly and helpful. Wifi was a bit dodgy, had to stand under the bedroom window of the farmhouse to get a signal. The facilities were basic but ok, showers were a bit strange, basically two cubicles in one room with no curtains or locks other than on the main door. Could do with another couple of toilets and showers as it got a bit busy at times.

Reviewer: Ron22 20 reviews from this member

 This site is located in a spectacular position. The field is nice and flat with great views. Whilst this is a five van site with some hook ups it has shower and toilet facilities. These are somewhat basic with the shower room having 2 showers within the room and no doors. There are no hooks provided. The toilet is adequate but lacked hot water. I did feel that £18 it was a little on the pricey side (a view shared by other guests on the site, )

This is a working farm and the owners were very nice and helpful.

I fee that with a little TLC and a few adjustments this could be a truly wonderful site.

 Me and my partner stayed in one of the glamping teepees and would definitely return! The owners are lovely and upon arrival we were greeted with a welcome pack explaining where everything is locally and how to get there. We were also given a hamper filled with goodies as well as a bottle of bubbly. We were then asked what our arrangements were for our evening meal and decided to opt for the bbq with the produce offered by the farm. The food was fantastic and the location of this place is spectacular. Beautiful views all around the site. The toilet and shower facilities are clean and very well kept and very close to the site. The teepee itself was beautiful and quaint. If you are a one for seeking all things vintage it is definitely up your street! There is no mobile phone signal on the site which to be honest was quite pleasant but there is wifi if one should so desperately need it. The next morning for breakfast we decided to have a full English (of course) and were not disappointed. I cannot give low bell end farm enough compliments for their hospitality and the tranquility of the area. Already looking to book again for later in the year!
