Date of Visit: June 2019 Unit:  Motorhome

Reviewer: Royston 01 6 reviews from this member

 My favourite site just off the motorway and beside the river.

Lovely helpful staff, nothing is too much trouble.

Nice level pitches with electric and Wi-Fi available.

Town is a short 15minute walk woth with a great butcher's a d several bakeries.

Morrisons just up the road for fuel and shopping.

All in all a great stopover to either visit places or interest or just a break if travelling north or south.

Am in fact booked in again Sunday 15th Dec 2019.

Reviewer: Wheresmebus 11 reviews from this member

 Stayed for a week as part of a group of three units. We thought the site standards were perfectly acceptable, and the staff very helpful and friendly. The toilets/ showers/ washrooms were very clean and well maintained, barring some evidence of mould in some shower cubicles. The chemical disposal unit was very clean indeed.

However. There is noise, the factory complex across the road operates 24/7 and the sound level is all pervasive. We're used to night-time background noise, but some campers might find it unacceptable. The A1 can be heard too if the wind is in the other direction.

The water supply and grey disposal is quite a hike if your pitch is near the access end of the site. Boroughbridge town is about 20 minutes walk away, there's a pavement but you have to cross and recross the road. Roecliffe village is walkable in the opposite direction - there's a pub there but we preferred those in Boroughbridge.

Would we visit again? Yes, quite possibly.

Reviewer: Fortyfoot 6 reviews from this member

 Very disappointed with this site, it seems to get worse, ladies toilets are never flushed properly, one of the six has been out of action for months.

Staff never seem to do any thing other than sit in the office, the grass is hardly ever cut and when it is it is never done neatly. No refuse bins in the service areas in the caravan areas you have to go to the main gate and use large bins which are difficult for older and smaller people to use.

Several years ago the manager was called Ken, the site was then maintained superbly. 


Date of Visit: August 2018 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Niknrich 17 reviews from this member

 Just back from a nice few days at this site. We went with a group of friends but were pitched a short distance away due to the sizes of the pitches in each area. We were given what the site manager called 'The Honeymoon Suite' (!) - a lovely quiet pitch right on the end of the field with only one neighbour, so it was a beautiful spot. However it was a loooong way to the loo!

The facilities are the usual Club standard with plenty of space and no queueing even though the site was almost full. There were plenty of washbasin cubicles but my husband commented not enough urinals in the Gents'! The grass pitches were level and well-drained but a couple of the concrete hardstandings seemed to retain water more!

The noise from the A1 was audible at times but not bothersome, but the humming from the dairy was a bit louder (though it didn't keep us awake). The owls hooting from the trees at night were lovely!

Being a Club site they do like their rules, and despite asking permission to stay longer on our departure day and following their instructions on where to park our van, we were still 'told off' for not being in the right place!

A nice site though overall, and we'd probably visit again.

In the heart of Wharfedale, this beautiful site is terraced to give amazing views over spectacular countryside. Hardstanding pitches for caravans and motorhomes and grass pitches for tents, with optional electric hookup. Toast marshmallows around the fire pit!

Small shop and morning coffee shop for barista made coffee, fresh pastries and hot chocolate.

Reviewer: Riff 15 reviews from this member

 Discovered this site in 2017 and have stayed a couple of times in August and again in September.

The facilities are the usual Club standards. I never had to queue for the toilets or showers. The family room is available during the time they are closed for cleaning and I took advantage of this once during our first stay.

The A1 is audible but not intrusive. Also, I found the 'humming' coming from the nearby dairy quite soothing at night as it reminded me of the sound of generators at festivals, and that sends me to sleep.

Pitches were nice and flat and the distance to the facilities was very reasonable (we have been put miles away on other Club sites).

The pub in the Roecliffe is more of a gastro-pub. They serve real ale, but the drinks prices can be somewhat erratic.

There is a riverside walk to Ripon, which is a nice place to visit. However, if you do take that route, don't pick up the footpath near the church as it is narrow and muddy. Instead, walk towards Roecliffe Grange where you can pick up the river at Lock House.

In the other direction, Boroughbridge is a nice town. There is a decent-sized Morrisons nearby to service your grocery needs.

Points of interest in Boroughbridge include The Devils Arrows and the Roman fort at Aldborough (free entry to English Heritage members).

The pubs are also OK but our personal favourite is the Black Bull.

Great discovery for 2017. Definitely be back in 2018.

Reviewer: Dad1uk 36 reviews from this member

 We visited here in our Folding Camper for four nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

A well maintained site with very pleasant staff.

As previously mentioned there is a noise issue, either from the nearby A1 or from the factories, depending which way the wind is blowing.

Toilets are clean and tidy and the showers are operated by push button and are hot.

Ideal site for overnight if travelling up the A1. 


Date of Visit: May 2016 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Natalie Hurst 6 reviews from this member

 Just returned from this site. Never again, it recently changed management and the people who had it at the time of our visit were temporary and don't we know it. The site looked like the grass had not been cut for a week, in the ladies there are 6 toilets but 2 are permanently locked not out of order, it just saves cleaning 2 toilets.

To be fair the shower facilities and washing areas are clean and well kept but the main site lets its down. There is a factory over the road that has some form of generator going 24/7, we were the furthest pitch away from the road and we could hear it all night, every night, even on a weekend.

At the time of our visit the children's playground was out of use as the workmen were tipping all the soil around that part of the site. Whilst on site workmen were laying new concrete bases. We were telephoned before arrival stating that they would only be working in the unused area and it would not affect our stay. The first morning the workmen arrived at 7. 30am then a concrete mixer. Then the workmen decided they could dig out next to our caravan for the laying of a concrete base next week. After being out for the day we arrived back to 3 sections closed off and yellow spray markers ready for digging out. Talk about living on a building site. The management team said if you don't like it you can always change pitch but that would not have solved any problems.

The ccc have a policy of always having neat and tidy sites. Well not this one. 


Date of Visit: August 2015 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Ayrshireman 22 reviews from this member

 I recently spent a couple of nights at this fine site. It is very well laid out, with lush grass and good space in the camping area. As usual with the CCC, a friendly and helpful welcome.

The dog walking area was just fine for my four legged friend. I thought I was being smart pitching the tent almost at the furthest point of the tent area, until I realised that the WiFi 'didn't reach that far'!

A small price to pay for a sense of privacy. Though I was not using a caravan, the layout of the caravan area impressed, with a good selection of concrete hardstandings, and broken by hedges and trees into two areas. Friday's chip van removed the need to cook.

The only slight downside was (as mentioned in other reviews) the noise from the dairy across the road. All in all a fine site which I have no hesitation in recommending.

Reviewer: Special01 43 reviews from this member

 This is a good stop off going north. Site is clean and tidy as expected of a C/C site. Toilet block is good. Showers hot and powerful. Good dog walking area. Site staff very friendly.

Crown Inn pub in Roecliffe 1. 5miles away. 20mins walk on footpath. Is dog friendly and has a good pint of Theakstons beer. Good meals too.

Good garage in Borougbridge. Canal garage.

£15 per night, good value in 6 weeks holiday. Would return again

Reviewer: SvenBoy 12 reviews from this member

 Stayed here for 3 nights, to use as a base for the Dales. Like many people I watched the Yorkshire Tourist Boards free promotional video (aka The tour de France 2014!)and thought what a lovely place to see. As stated in other reviews, I am on a motorbike, with a small tent.

I found the site more then met my needs. On arrival I was shown to a spot which was in the full glare of the sun (this was the day before the hottest July temperature on record) I asked if I could be moved to a shady spot, which the friendly warden duly obliged. On the plus side this was in a spot where the previously highlighted noise from both the A1 and the 24/7 working dairy were limited. On the downside it was a fair walk to the facilities, but that wasn't really a problem.

The town of Boroughbridge was in walking distance, and Knaresborough, which turned out to be one of the lovlieast towns in the country was only ten minutes ride/drive away.

I would not hesitate to visit both the area and this site again, although I would probably break the journey up by staying a night elsewhere both up and home. 220 miles on a bike with 95% on motorways was very tiring from Berkshire. 


Date of Visit: April 2015 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Special01 43 reviews from this member

 We stayed here for 3 days. We have stayed on site before. It is a good stopping off point to see York. Ripon Cathedral. Fountains Abbey and much more.

A newspaper car visits site every morning at 9am. Chip van 2 times a week. And a very nice pub in local village of Roecliffe. Called Crown Inn. 15 mins walk on footpath. Dog friendly too. Nice selection of local ales.

Facilities on good as expected from C/C sites. Yes well worth a return visit. OAP rate. 3 nights. £39. 


Date of Visit: February 2015 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Jakeblu 3 reviews from this member

 Had a lovely stay here out of season. Warden very friendly and helpful and a lovely peaceful site. Had no problems with the noise from the industrial units or the road and we were right by both.

Facilities are excellent well kept clean and warm.

Short picturesque walk, 10-15 mins, into Boroughbridge past the Devils Arrows and Druids field. Morrisons supermarket close by again 10-15 minute walk. Dog friendly with a good walk although its through the camping field and may be problematic in summer.

Stream runs through the bottom of the site and I believe it can flood in heavy rain.

Reviewer: Pickupsticks 28 reviews from this member

 We stayed here for 4 nights to take in the Tour De France stages in Yorkshire. The site is easy to find and in a good stopover site for those travelling from North to South and vice versa.

The pitches were spacious and we did not hear any noise at all from the industrial units but appreciate those nearer would do.

It is up to the usual Camping and Caravan Club standard with friendly wardens, warm shower block with plenty of hot water. Where it fails is that the club does not seem to be updating the facilities - few of their sites have serviced pitches yet the prices have gone up to unrealistic proportions for basic facilities. 


Date of Visit: June 2014 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Orian 7 reviews from this member

 Have just returned from a 5 night stay on this site. Chose this site as my wife has walking problems and we use the buses. Stop outside. Bus every 2 hours. Lovely scenic journey to Knaresbury. Change for Harrogate with buses every 7 mins. Asked for pitch near gate and were given the first pitch over the flood embankment.

A very nice site with usual excellent toilet block facilities. Site wardens all very helpful. The huge downside of this site is the constant drumming noise from the refrigeration units at the dairy factory across the road. 24/7.

Had we not have come such a long way and were booked for another week in East Yorkshire we would have left early.
