Just returned from having relaxing weekend at Lockside. The site is very well kept, clean and tidy & no hassle. We picked this site because of its location to the Racecourse and weren't disappointed. Ideal, less than 10 mins walk.
The only thing that we were not able to do was access the lovely Canal walks direct from the site. You had to leave the site to do this, but its not a problem really.
All in all though, I would highly recommend a visit to this site.
We have been going to this site over the last six years on Camping and Caravan rallies, We like it because you can always get an EHU although it has changed to a meter card system now. It still works out reasonable. I spent £12 over 7 nights although I used gas for hot water.
The shower is small and dingy. I do not like not being allowed to use a groundsheet even though mine is breathable.
We go there because it has a nice canal side walk to Ripon and on rallies the fees are reasonable.
The owners of this site were very welcoming to four tired and emotional cyclists and their crew van! We found the site by accident after we had been given short shrift by another campsite in Ripon which 'did not take groups'. (Two women in their thirties, their partners, and Mum and Dad. Hmmmmm yes, we radiate trouble!)
Facilities are basic, with one Ladies and one Mens toilet. Showers 50p, but a large cubicle where you are not banging elbows, and plenty of hot water. I was bewitched by the location, which is next to the canal with lots of pretty barges and houseboats moored on it. Lovely walk into Ripon along the canal. Strangely there were no midges, which was a nice surprise.
The owner hung out our wet towels on her washing line and was generally very kind to us.
Some of the site is on a pretty steep slope, so I wonder if it had been busier we might have had a problem getting levelled up.
I would definitely recommend the atmosphere of this site, peaceful and great location. We will be going back.
Stayed here over bank holiday weekend and found it a very peaceful and friendly site.
We stayed on top of field which was flat but site does slope slightly down towards the canal.
Site has one male and one female toilet and one shower, facilities although dated were clean.
Hot water for pot wash 20p and shower 50p,
We had ehu which we found very reasonable we used £5 for the entire weekend.
About 10min walk to nearest pub the water rat which is lovely situated on banks of the river. A further 5mins walk takes you into town of Ripon which has a host of bars and shops and a beautiful cathedral.
Would recommend this site if wanting a quiet peaceful break and we will be returning in near future
Stayed here for a few nights this month. The site had a rally on but the normal side of the site had about 8 units on. The smaller area was well tended with pretty flower borders etc.
There was only one toilet and one shower which were very basic but very clean. Certainly could do with improving to modern day standards.
It was easy to walk into Ripon but a shame the route along the canal path directly from the site wasn't accessible.
I think there may be some dog kennels very close by as we heard dogs barking very late into the night and again from early morning.
However, I would probably return to this site due to its close proximity to the town.
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. Find out more here
This is a delightful campsite close to the historic town of Ripon. It was signposted by one small sign on the road leading to it, and then one on the gate.
The proprietor warmly welcomed five very wet cyclists and made them immediately feel a bit better. The site was very clean and tidy, and the charges reasonable.
We had a pitch on a very slight slope, in sight of the canal, and had a lovely lot of song from the birds in the hedge at the back. One could hear the traffic on the main road, but it wasn't too bad.
The toilets were good and clean, and the paid-for showers worked well, probably better to pay for just what one needs.
We got directions to the nearby chip shop, but found that Wetherspoons had recently opened in the market square, about 1/2 a mile away, and went there.
I would certainly consider making a detour to visit Lockside again.
What a fantastic site, with the best hosts, owners & by the end of our stay friends Carol & Malcolm,
One toilet each for ladies and gents, with one shower 50p a shower,
EHU on card either £1 / £5 your choice use as much or as little as you like, we found we used about £1.70 in 24 hours, most sites now £3 per night,,
Excellent river / canal bank walks, maybe 1.2 mile nearest pub the water rat great beer and food, others very close, a good football pub the navy just a little further ( navigation )
Loads in ripon town centre it's self plus shops and cafe and women things to do,,
We went for a 6 day stay, found myself bed ridden after 3 days so left after 12 ! Malcolm and Carol made this possible I don't how but they did, fetching prescriptions food if required, checking on us day and night all whilst running the site immaculately, also while her own son was in ICU
I really can't thank this couple enough, thank you and we will be returning as many times as feasible
Cramped site. Not particularly Motorhome friendly, limited manoeuvring space when full, no drain point for waste water - campers had to use the elsan point instead.
Toilet facilities basic, 1 outside toilet male, one female, hot water to wash hands provided by coin meter, ditto for the single shower, but no washing up facilities - caravan rally on at the time, so queues built up for the facilities.
Short walk to centre of Ripon was one saving grace.
Visited this site February the 25th to 27th found the site clean and tidy and in a very, very nice location. We had a great weekend out and about in Ripon, lots of restaurants and pubs,and lots shops for the wife
However the toilet block is very basic with no hot water, basically a shed type effort nowhere to hang you coat and you get white dust all over your clothes of the damp walls. The toilets are clean but basic with massive gaps above and below the doors. The single 60w bulb is on a timer and I had just about enough time to get me zip down and off it went. No hot water available to wash pots, and the single shower room was out of order and locked up. Also when returning on and evening take a torch with you as there is no light left on to guide you home and believe me its pitch black.
The electric cards for the hook up are £5.00 each on top of your camp fees and mine ran out in under 30hrs and I was honestly only using a fridge and 12v trickle charger. My friends unit lasted under 12hrs,he was using a 1kw blow air heater and 240v lights and TV. We found this to be very expensive. I purchased a further £1.00 card as we wanted to use toaster and microwave for breakfast, made 4 toast and heated a tin of tomatoes up and had 60 odd pence left under 5 mins, my friends bought another £5.00 card and it to ran out before we left.
I would recommend the site if you have full facilities on board and you don't need electric hook up.
The field is sloping down to the canal but is flat at the top,(where the electric hook up is.) The toilets are basic but clean and the shower is large and warm,(cooler this weekend would have been fab but you know the British weather). Fifty pence for the shower is ok if you are quick.
The walk on the canal to Ripon is lovely,seeing ducks and fish in the clear water is a bonus too.
Will be returning to lockside again in the future.
