 Absolutely brilliant site, the facilities were excellent, well kept and very clean.
The pitches are a really good size with great views of the surrounding countryside.
The owner was really helpful and friendly,
We will definitely be going back next year.

This is the first time we've stayed on this site and it won't be our last! Richard couldn't have been a better host, showing us round the site and the facilities and giving us advice on walks and events in the surrounding area.
There's no shop on site, but that's because it is so close to Leyburn and there are shops open every day. We visited Jervaulx Abbey, which was just a few miles away.
It's a beautiful, serene site and well worth a visit. Not part of English Heritage or National Trust, so you just make a donation for the upkeep, but you can take a picnic and just chill out, which was what our weekend was all about.
The views from the campsite were brilliant - we looked straight across to the hills with Middleham just below - it was lovely to see all the lights coming on as the sun went down.
There were fields all around us, so no road noise, just the occasional 'moo' from the cattle in the field next to us.
As stated above, we'll be visiting Richard again, either later this year or early next year - can't wait!

My friend and I stayed overnight after completion of the six dales trail from Pateley Bridge.
We were met by Richard and given a very detailed walk about of the site,
The facilities here are excellent with spotless toilets and shower rooms.
The utility/washing up room is really nice with us able to boil water without using any gas and the option to charge up any electrical items as well.
The site is very peaceful and is a credit to him, he couldn't of being more helpful and explained the best way to get into Leyburn avoiding the traffic.
We would both stay again with no hesitation as we need to walk more of the Dales 30 in that area.
Well happy with our stay!

This must be one of the most relaxing sites we have been to.
Richard the nicest man you will ever meet.
Showers and toilets spotless Views from every pitch. Nice walk into town.
For bbq food go to Cambells fantastic selection of fresh food and wine. And then Fryer Tucks, you will never get fish and chips that taste this good.
We thank you Richard for the a great holiday.
We will be back.

Spacious grass pitch in lower area of the site with stunning view of surrounding countryside. Level and some sloping pitches.
Charming friendly owner Richard greeted us on arrival and gave us a tour of the site and facilities.
Facilities situated in shed like buildings, rustic but exceptionally clean, handwash and hand gel generously supplied as well as antibac spray, washing up liquid, bleach, air fresheners. Shower hot and a proper hairdryer in the ladies washroom.
15 min walk through fields into Leyburn. Leyburn is a lovely town with many local shops, pubs etc.
Enjoyed the “ shawl walk” - level walking and nice views. Lovely walk down to the river where we saw so much birdlife.
It appears many of the people using the site visit it frequently and we can see why.
Richard appears to know everyone by name and is super accommodating. Will definitely visit again.

Quiet little site in a really nice location
The pub is excellent for food and drinks, very polite staff
Very close to the falls.
I would advise booking a table in the pub because it’s gets busy.
Will definitely be going back hopefully in the summer months.

Great site, Richard took the time to show us around the facilities and was very friendly.
The shower was hot and very powerful, not what you normally get.
1 mile walk into town so very convenient,
Definitely be back again.

What a fabulous find, the views from our pitch were incredible. We enjoyed it so much we have booked again for September. Richard the owner was very helpful.
It was so peaceful and relaxing. Not able to score the facilities as due to COVID Richard has decided not to open them the rest of this season but they looked good from the outside.

We found Craken House extremely clean and tidy.
The owner, Richard, was very friendly and helpful.
It was so peaceful and in a beautiful setting.
Leyburn was in easy walking distance and we look forward to a return visit.

This site is brilliant. It was my 5 year old daughter’s first camping trip and that’s why we only stayed one night.
Richard was helpful throughout the booking (it was last minute) and the stay, he honestly made you feel that nothing was too much trouble.
The site is lovely with excellent views and facilities.

One of the best sites we have stayed on. It is positively idyllic and Richard the owner was lovely. He made us welcome and was very helpful and friendly.
The area is beautiful and there is so much to see and do, we visit at least twice a year and we will certainly stay at Cracken House Farm again.
We highly recommend it, it was brilliant!

Very enthusiastic and detailed welcome from Richard the site owner, clearly taking pride in his site and happy to offer a variety of pitches to choose from.
Lovely views and several separate areas to pitch, most of which are level or a gentle slope. Plenty of taps, bins etc and clean washroom and shower area, minor niggle, only one shower and no hot tap in the toilets.
A nice touch were the picnic gables and summer house with information in. However our stay was blessed with great views, and a leisurely 20 minute walk to Leyburn where there are some nice independent shops and good pubs / restaurants.
If you want a near perfect independent site for tents, caravans or motorhomes, this is one, plus the beauty of the Yorkshire Sales.
