Pro’s - Nicely located, walkable to local pub and excellent local take away.
2 open fields set up, no set pitches so pitch where you fancy.
Quirky facilities - horsebox washing up (which was grubby, we used the external one) some fixed glamping facilities for hire and a mobile hot tub.
Con’s - Facilities poorly maintained and not cleaned to a decent standard. Not cleaned daily.
No sanitiser to be seen and hand wash and toilet roll not always topped up - so did run out in some toilets during our stay.
Considering we visited during the current pandemic and the site has been closed for the last few months.
Toilet roll holders always falling open; Mirror dangling on a screw and not fixed, one of toilets had a shower curtain closure, never seen that before!
2 external showers and 2 internal ones - which were always grimy, one of the flushes on the toilets in the shower room was mouldy from all the steam.
(2 extra external toilets were being built outside during our stay as they were expecting a busy weekend. )
There was a bucket and mop which no one seemed to use - maybe one in each shower would encourage usage and more signage etc - but the overall toilet area wasn’t clean to begin with so people are less likely to maintain.
Customer service - Booked via email, dead easy - bank transfer for half and cash for remainder.
We were challenged whether we’d booked the correct no of people & tents - in a way that we hadn’t been honest and were going to be checked. So that was disappointing and was delivered in a very un-customer friendly way. We had booked correctly and nothing else was said.
Fire pits for hire - 10er, logs 10er, Std pitch 2 adults 2 kids (under 16) one car - 25quid.
Overall my impression of the site was that it’s run for the revenue - location wise they won’t struggle for custom but I imagine a lot of it is not repeat; we won’t return.
We hardly want to leave a review, so lovely and laid back is it here. Sam works hard to make sure everything remains idyllic, welcoming, clean and quiet.
A lovely small site, in gorgeous countryside, close to Harrogate and Ripon and lots of other great places too. Lovely village, great fish and chips if you fancy a treat one night.
Fire pits available and wood available at the local village store.
If you don't fancy pitching your own tent or caravan, Sam has a few Bell Tents and has just converted a horse box. A quirky addition to glamping.
We're about to go back for a second away from it all weekend.
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
Lovely small campsite with a very enthusiastic owner. It has EHU for 8 or 9 pitches, a pot wash (with microwave and kettle) in a concerted horsebox, metal drums available for fire pits, two well-heated shower rooms with toilets (no problem with queuing when we were there but the site wasn’t busy), and a snug with sofa/tv/fridge freezer.
The local village (Kirkby Malzeard) has a children’s playground a short stroll away across a field, there’s also a fish and chip shop, a butcher, a village shop and a pub that combines as an Indian restaurant :-)
The views are spectacular, the campsite is very relaxed and the location is excellent. Handy for Ripon (if travelling with children, try the city’s three museums - Workhouse, Police/prison, Courthouse), Fountains Abbey/Studley Royal, Brimham Rocks, Newby Hall, Pateley Bridge (esp the pies from the butcher), the Druid’s Circle at Ilton and lunch at the Bivouac, and the follies in Hackfall Woods. via mobile
Visited this very quiet campsite in beautiful weather at end of February. Excellent value for money at £15 per night. Heating in shower block. Very peaceful amid tranquil surrounding countryside-our favourite kind of site.
Sam, the owner really helpful and knowledgeable of local area. Short walk to village with real ale pub and friendly landlord and marvellous butcher, also visited Galphay which was delightful.
Really nice level site. The washing up area is an old cattle trailer, quite funky. It was very quiet when we were there. Easy walk into village, good pub with real ales. via mobile
What a fantastic little campsite, so relaxed and friendly with a lovely facilities. Child and dog friendly.
Just a few minutes walk from Kirkby Malzeard, where there is a pub, shop, great butchers and a wonderful little tea room where the cakes are all home made.
Great location and easy to get to from A1(M) - the lanes are wide enough to allow other vehicles to pass with ease. The views out over the hills are great, it's very open and the field is very generous in size allowing more than enough space between units. 3 EHU points with 3 connections per point, 2 water taps and Chemical Disposal point.
Although it's advertised as having WiFi, this is not reachable from the pitches - if you stood at the end of the field (nearer the House) then you may get enough signal to connect, however you can get 4G and great phone signal. The road is busier than you would expect but the vehicles are slow and mostly farm related - overall a pleasantly quiet site, with the village Church chiming in the distance.
Sam the owner is really friendly and can offer any advice you need - although currently a CL site with 5 pitches - it is changing later in the year to Camping & Caravan Club, so it will be a lot busier and at least 2 more fields opening up for camping. They are also currently building a Shower and Toilet Block, with a Reception and small Shop planned - the plan is also to upgrade the WiFi so that it is central to the camping area.
The weather prior to my visit had been wet! Very wet and although the field was squelchy after the rain, it did soon dry out - but the work vehicles for the new Shower and Toilet block had been on and off the field making the only access into a rutted muddy mess and although I could get my car off and the van at the end of the week, it was a worry and not nice to drive over. I think a little more consideration should have been taken, especially as they knew that I was coming.
