Reviewer: Andrew 1 review from this member

 I only stayed for one night as part of a bike touring ride but next time I plan to stay longer.

Friendly and helpful site warden and all the facilities that I needed.

Just remember to take some change for the shower.

The campsite is a short distance from pubs and a good chip shop in Hawes.

Good to see one of the resident red squirrels!

 What an absolutely delightful little bolt hole, gorgeous campsite, excellent facilities and so peaceful,

A lovely stream running behind the pitches was so lovely,

Lots of walks directly from the site,

The site wardens keep it spotless, and were so friendly.

We will definitely go again 😊😊😊

 Lovely site with a couple as the wardens. Just outside Hawes with a walk down into town took us around 25 mins.

Hawes is a market town with loads of pubs and cafes shops etc. Site not far from Hardraw force, £4 each to enter!

There’s loads of waterfalls in the area so we didn’t go to view. Hardraw itself is not far with a café and pub ( closed at the time)

There’s a lovely walk from the site through a wood with waterfalls a plenty. Not a big site with lots of permanent pitches for people who stay the season.

Toilet and shower block small with unisex showers (2). These were spotless and cleaned daily. There’s recycling on site for cans bottles etc. We were pitched next to the river which was relaxing.

There’s a security barrier on entry and exit. We couldn’t get any TV signal so we listened to our radio and watched DVD’s.

The Buttertubs pass is just above the site with some beautiful roads & villages along the route, Keld, Muker are lovely. The Simonstone hotel is just outside the site we didn’t visit.

Certainly return if we went to the area.

Date of Visit: September 2021  Confirmed Booking Unit:  Tent
Nights stayed: 5 Travelling as:  Other
Reviewer: Tufton 1 review from this member

 My teenage son and I spent 5 nights. Booking was straightforward and relaxed.

The site was quiet, clean and ideally sited for both Wensleydale and Swaledale.

Footpaths ran from the site in a number of directions. The water was hot. Facilities functional and spotless.

The only negative was having to remember 50p for the (long/hot) showers. And we chose a midgey time of year - but we just took our mugs of tea 2 mins up the hill and drank them midge-free with spectacular views.

All in all it was excellent. …with ducks and rabbits running around, red squirrels popping in, a snuffling hedgehog exploring my camping stove and lots of owls to add a bit of atmosphere at night.

Reviewer: Ydaw1 3 reviews from this member

 Lovely location and friendly helpful owners.

Very well kept. 2 nice clean showers with a 50p charge.

We had pitch 15 which was nicely tucked away and very spacious.

Great for our 2 chihuahuas.

Reviewer: Claire 1 review from this member

 It's the first time we have stayed on this site and we were very impressed with it and the facilities were excellent, The toilet and shower room were very clean.

The pitches were well spaced out and had plenty of room. The price to stay was very reasonable.

It was situated 2 miles from Hawes itself and the walk-in was beautiful. Just at the end of the site is a woodland that has the most amazing waterfall in it.

I would recommend this site to others and will definitely be back again.

Reviewer: Holmsh 1 review from this member

 This campsite was perfect for us, it was lovely and quite. There was a lot of caravans with permanent pitches and not everyone was there which made it lovely and quiet.

The toilet block was always clean and modern. Showers were 50p, hair dryer 20p so remember to bring these with you! All pitches had access to electricity.

A two minute walk away was Shaw Ghyll woodland Trust walk. A lovely walk along the river, a few little waterfalls and access to the water for a little paddle.

We visited Hawes, Aysgarth Falls, Forbidden Corner, Leyburn, Wensleydale Creamery and lots of ice cream farms whilst staying here.

Would definitely return and would recommend to friends and family.
