 Excellent site - clean (impeccably clean), sensible maeuvering space and quiet.

The staff were really friendly and helpful on arrival and the shower block was AMAZING!

Underfloor heating in the shower after a day-long walk in the rain nearly brought me to tears :)

Will definitely return - would certainly recommend!

 Stayed here this weekend. Shame the weather didn’t match the standard of the campsite. What an excellently run site with such fabulous business knowledge of what people need.

Large pitches, we had 2 with electric hook-up. Have had trouble in the past not being able to get large tents onto pitches - no problem here.

Shower and toilet blocks were immaculate every time I went in regardless of the time of day. Good sheltered washing up facilities.

Information room with electric pumps free to use. A small well stocked shop in reception.

The fresh pizza on Saturday nights was a genius idea, we also loved the free loan of fire pits with logs and kindling for sale - delivered to your tent.

Staff were friendly and had a very visible presence and were obviously keeping an eye that nothing was getting out of hand without being intrusive.

The dog run field was handy too.

Absolutely could not fault this site. We will most definitely be back.

 Everything about the site was exceptional. We were welcomed on site before we had even got out of the car, the check-in process was seamless. We were offered our choice of pitches, although to be fair we arrived at a quiet time.

The shower and toilet blocks are new or recently renovated and were spotlessly clean and well equipped. Cannot recommend this site highly enough.

Only 2 negatives, neither anything to do with management.

We chose one of the pitches (no. 14 I think) close to the wall separating the tent and caravan areas.

Odd gusts of wind were often close to flattening our Air Beam tent, despite the fact that there was only a moderate breeze. Some sort of wind tunnel effect I assumed.

Also, please be aware that the only pub within walking distance doesn't open Monday or Tuesday 😫

 Please give a few words to describe what you liked / disliked:

There is nothing to dislike about this site. If Carlsberg did campsites, this one would beat it. All other campsite owners should come to this one to set their standards by.

The showers and toilets are immaculately clean. The showers cost 50p for 10 minutes, more than enough time. The water is hot and plentiful; even when someone enters the next door shower, the pressure/ flow does not drop. The campsite was maybe 70-80% full and I never had to wait for a vacant toilet or shower cubicle.

I arrived on my pushbike to meet my brother (motorbike), my daughter, she'd driven down from Scotland with her two children, son, daughter-in-law and their two children. The space allocated to us was enormous. We had two picnic tables for our use. Our pitches easily accommodated two 5 berth tents, 1 X 4 man tent and my back packing tent.

The owners/ management of this site know exactly how to deliver a customer service. They are very, very good.

A free fire pit is offered and then they sell you the fuel for it, it makes for a stunning evening ambience looking over the site to see all these small fires dancing in the evening, folk chatting away, having a few beers and children who've never met each other before playing football and having a laugh.

It says below: Give constructive criticism where necessary.

I cannot. They are doing everything they can to make your stay the best within their ability.

This is the best site I've ever stayed on and I've stayed on a few.

Top marks to owners and management.

Absolutely brilliant. Thank you.

 Visited the site for the first time on jubilee weekend bank holiday. I would go as far to say this is the best site that I have been to.

Fantastic showers, and facilities, in fact they are new.

Staff who run the site are excellent. We stayed with electric on pitches near the huts.

Excellent location.

The campsite lets you have a fire pit for free and if you don't have your own wood, they will sell you some.

Highly recommended. Go there is you have not been

 We have stayed at this site many times and it still doesn't fail to impress.

There continues to be significant investment in the site, with several pods now being installed.

The facilities are always clean and warm no matter what time of day it is.

Great walks in the area and the local pub is worth a visit -

I'm sure we'll be back soon.

Reviewer: Ditsy79 12 reviews from this member

 We loved our stay at Orcaber Farm. Most of the pitches have the option of EHU, and are huge - perfect for large tents (we've previously struggled to find campsites with large enough EHU pitches for our 8-man tent).

The location is stunning, with wonderful views from the campsite. The toilets and showers were among the best and cleanest we have seen on any campsite in the UK. Showers cost 50p for 10 minutes, but it did seem to last longer than 10 minutes.

There's a small shop on site for essentials, and breakfast baps and hot drinks are on sale every morning. On a Saturday night they do pizzas, which were absolutely delicious.

Our only niggle was that the electric supply was a bit iffy the first couple of nights - probably because it was cold and everyone was using fan heaters. The management were busy trying to sort out the problem though, and did apologise, so hopefully they will get it sorted for the future.

Other than that, we had a wonderful stay. We will hopefully be back!

Reviewer: Valkee 1 review from this member

 This site is a real find! Fully serviced pitch, water, waste, TV ariel, picnic table, and super size pitch.

The toilet/shower block is new, very clean, warm, hairdryers etc.

Short walk to Austrick where the Game Cock provides great food and a bakery with homemade bread and cakes.

There is a lovely walk to Clapham and its close to White Scar Caves.

We'll definitely be going back later in the year,

Philpin Farm Campsite - Yorkshire Dales

Beautiful tent only site set on a family run hill farm in the Yorkshire Dales, nestled between Ingleborough and Whernside. The Three Peaks footpath runs right through the farm adjacent to the campsite with lots of walks direct from the site from easy strolls to climbing the Three Peaks, and five minutes to the pub!

Tent pitches only, no electric hookups. Toilet and shower block and washing up facilities. Sit, eat and socialise in the old barn, with free wifi, charging lockers, freezer. At weekends the Philpin Snack bar is open for cooked breakfasts, hot and cold snacks and drinks, ice creams, chocolates etc, on other days there are vending machines in the barn.

Reviewer: Kate w 99 reviews from this member

 This is a fantastic site. When we arrived there was a bit of confusion about our booking but this wasn't a problem and was soon sorted. Reception was closed so we were advised to call in and pay the balance outstanding the next day.

Pitches are large width ways and enormous lengthways. Pitches round the edge of the large camping field all have electric hook up, are well drained and maintained. Pitches in the middle of the field don't have EHU. The pitches all have picnic tables. Firepits are available each evening free of charge, you just pay for firewood.

There is plenty of space for children to play and football goals in the middle of the field.

The showers are amazing, yes, it costs 50p but they are the best showers I have ever come across on a campsite and far better than mine at home. 10 minutes is plenty of time to get washed, wash your hair and have time just to stand under the water relaxing. The only thing negative I would say is that it could get quite a queue if it was busy I would imagine.

The site has a dog walk across the lane round a horse trotting track. There is a stream along the far side where the dogs can have a bit of a swim and picnic benches.

Views from site are lovely and it is really quiet with no road noise.

Will definitely return in future. So much to do in the area, walking and sightseeing. Great site.

Reviewer: Linda McQueenie 1 review from this member

 It pains me to say this. But this site and it's hosts are amazing.

It pains me because I don't want to have to struggle to re book in the future when everyone else finds out how great it is.

Clean, great facilities. Even soap and hand cream in the toilets. 50p showers, but hot and plenty of time to shower, free hairdryer. Hosts that went above and beyond.

Beautiful surroundings.

Peaceful despite the recent growth of the site.

Super serviced pitch spacious and made me want to stay and not come home.

It's not a 5*. It's a 10*

 WOW. I cannot say how fantastic this site is. I have been caravanning for over 15 years and these guys have smashed it.

Well done and I cannot wait to come back and see what you have done next. Amazing staff, amazing pitches, amazing views.

From the freezer on site to the fire pits that they offer.
