 We have just returned from this site after a 3 night stay. This is a lovely area and Richmond is amazing - beautiful riverside walks and views - fabulous northern town with massive central parking market area with original stone setts. The fish and chip shop in the central square serves first class fish and chips. The site itself was clean and the views from our caravan window were to die for ! Yes there was road noise but the views from our south facing pitch made up adequately. We visited the local pub in Gilling west and were told of local history stories including ghosts of royalty from the past and Roman vases washed up from the river. We had brought our cycles with us but the experience of crossing over the A66 would instantly tell you to head in the other direction!
Overall a site worth more than a stop over - spacious pitches and fabulous north Yorkshire views.

Have to say I tend to agree with the more positive reports here, for instance; a site just 80 yards off a main arterial trunk road (A66 Scotch Corner to Penrith) is bound to have some road noise.
Site was less than 30% full in April despite being midweek immediately before Easter Bank Holiday. We took advantage of the choice and pitched on the lowest level a good 300 yards below the A66 and therefore had no road noise and I sleep really quite lightly. Access onto and off the A66 is excellent, even with a van on the back there is adequate room in the wide centre reservation.
Single toilet block, but more than adequate given the relatively small number of (well spaced)pitches. Toilet block quite adequate and clean, use of disabled toilets for all during the hour when the main body of the block is closed for cleaning. Most useful. Bins emptied regulalry and generally found the warden pleasant. TV reception good using van aerial only.
Out and about plenty to do, not far to Richmond which is a nice market town, not a run down as many with boarded up shops etc. Couple of decent pubs and an excellent chippie, non of which are in the market square, rather just off it. Also the falls are quite something, not as big or famous as Aysgarth's but very nice in their own right.
Finally there is the old railway station, beautifully renovated into primarily a cafe and from which starts a nice walk which can be (a flat) there and back or a super anticlockwise circle of about 3-4 miles via Easby Abbey.

We used this site for one night as a stop over on the way to the east coast. To be fair it was a very well maintained site and the facilities were clean but we found it to be quite soul-less for want of a better phrase. The pitches were hard standing but everything was a little bit too regimented for us and I think the site was lacking a little of the character that we thought it should have considering its location and views. That said, there really wasn't anything we could complain about although we probably would try a different site in the area if we were going that way again.
There really wasn't anything to occupy children and in fact we ended up in the minor injuries unit as our then 6 year old fell over and shredded his knee on the gravel! I would say this site is probably much more geared towards a more mature couple rather than a young family.

We stayed for 4 nights as a stop-over on our way up to the North East coast. Due to heavy rainfall we opted to pitch on higher ground at the top end of the site.
The warden had not warned us about the traffic noise as this backs on to the busy A66. We were quite relieved to hear rain hammering down at 7am to drown out the noise!
The dog walk was totally inadequate for our active Labrador and also dangerous, as the fencing was broken in places and a small dog could escape onto the busy road if not kept on a lead.
The toilet block was clean but is in need of modernisation.
A visit to the lovely and picturesque town of Richmond was a welcome escape, with a cycle ride along a disused railway and a chance for our lab to stretch his legs.
We will not return to this site as we don't consider it to be up to CC standards.

A potentially good site with breathtaking views of the Yorkshire Dales - although only a short distance from the A1. Mixed hard standing and grass pitches
Unfortunately some of the grass pitches are very sloping, the bins need emptying more than once a day as they were overflowing No guidance is given as to where the vacant pitches are leaving large caravans driving round and round the site.
The toilet block was only cleaned once a day and there was only one block for the site - so needs checking in the evening. Disappointing for a Caravan Club Site.

We spent just a weekend here so didn't have much time to explore, however the pretty town of Richmond is less than 10 minutes' drive away.
The site is 20 minutes' walk uphill from the picturesque village of Gilling West, it is a fairly steep hill so be warned! There are a couple of pubs in the village serving good food.
Wardens were a bit off when we arrived, they were sat out sunbathing in their enclosure with a sign on the door saying to ring the bell and seemed to resent the intrusion.
It's not a large site and the best pitches are in a separate area down at the bottom where there are uninterrupted views over the hills. There is a small fenced-off dog walk at the top of the site and the usual clean CC facilities.
A family decided to start playing ball games and exercising their dog on an unoccupied grass pitch area and nobody came along to tell them to stop despite strict 'dogs on leads' CC policy.
Not the best site we've been to, not awful, just a bit indifferent.

A very nice quiet little site. Ideal for lots of local attractions including richmond, Bedale and Northallerton.
A small amount of road noise but nothing off-putting.
Only one toilet block, but it is well serviced and clean with facilities for disabled. Enough for this small site.
Approximately 1 mile to the village of Gilling West for paper shop etc.
Nearest fish and chip shop is in Richmond, approx 4 miles but ask warden about nearby inn that will sell you take out fish and chips.
For Caravan club members, the site lives up to all expectations.

Nice wee site. Yes, it only has one toilet/shower block but that's no problem as the site is not big!
There is a dog walking area which runs parallel to the very busy main road, it's adequate for toilet duties but no use for exercise. Two poop bins on the short stretch though which is good!
Plenty room on the pitches and the little private cul-de-sacs make it all the more interesting! Easy to misjudge the sharp corner off the main road onto side road! Take care!
Bit of road noise due to location so take earplugs. The little village at the bottom of the very steep hill is lovely, and a short drive takes you into Richmond which is a beautiful town and well worth a visit.
Nice site. Would use again without question.

Passed this site loads of times when travelling the A66 but never stopped. This year on are way back from france we booked on for a couple of nights I'm glad we did it is a great site.
First of all the wardens are great, friendly and very helpful the caravan club are lucky to have them and I wish more of there site's had wardens like these. The site is kept very tidy and has good size pitches.
There is no play park for the kids but is a nice sized area of grass for them to play ball games ect. Now the A66 runs behind the site so yes you do get road noise but if you can find a pitch on the lower half of the site you don't really notice it. Richmond and its castle is a must for a visit. We will be back!

This site is very convenient for the A1 and A66 and you are aware of traffic along the latter but at the lower side of the site this was less noticeable. Very helpful wardens knew exactly which pitches were available and gave a good welcome. Although only one toilet block the site is not large and the walk is short from even the furthest pitch. Facilities were beautifully kept. The on site dog walk is small but sufficient. Ideal site for touring the area. The drive through Swaledale is spectacular. Richmond is a lovely town and the river area walk is to be recommended. We had hot weather and a paddle in the river was appreciated! Well worth spending time at this site and not just using it as a stopover for going on a longer trip.
