 What a great site just a short stroll into Masham. Site is small, quiet and immaculate. Showers are clean with built in hair dryers. TV reception wasn't good for us but they set us up with a portable aerial which worked great. The staff/owners were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely return there again.

 What a wonderful site. Quiet with the sound of the birds.

Large grass pitches. Some hard standings. Even with a caravan and awning we could have got two cars on the pitch easily.

Very clean facilities and a very friendly reception.

A very good café serving excellent food.

Central for exploring the Dales. Easy access if you follow the directions given, not by Sat Nav.

What else would you want for a relaxed stay.

You can walk in to the town of Masham.

 Have to disagree with some previous reviews. Have always loved this site for a number of reasons and have visited it many times over the years but our last visit in August has certainly put us off.

The site was so busy they shoehorned as many units on as they could, am pretty sure it contravened fire regulations our awning was practically touching the awning of the van next door.

It's a shame that greed is spoiling what is a lovely site, sadly our weekend was so bad I doubt we will visit again.

 Just returned from a long weekend here.

Lovely site.

Well cared for, well run.

Lovely people running it

Small shop, lovely cafe for 'light bites'

Lovely area and access is good.

Facilities are clean and adequate - dependant on the number of folk staying!

The negatives.

Right, before I begin, I know the folk in the area have a limited time to make their money and the price was fair.

1. The pitches were too small, we have a 2 berth van, we chose not to put the awning up as there would have been no space to sit outside. I thought the guy next door was coming to talk to us through the window every time he went to his car. I have never stayed on such a small pitch. TTTTOOOOO small.

2. Washing up, the sign said - take care very hot water, it lied, moderately luke warm is what it was, this temperature was not dependant on time of day. Needed to use the van hot water to wash up.

3. Very busy road, had thought there would be walks directly off site for the dog but the nearest public footpath was down the side of this road and over on the opposite side was a stile, which did not allow for dogs to go under, into a field. Fine but there were sheep in and letting the dog run was not an option.

Would we return? Out of school holiday time, yes because there would be fewer people vying for pitches and we could choose not to be within the personal areas of others; until I retire it's not going to happen.

 Booked this site as we wanted to visit Masham. We followed a route which said A65 have to say my heart was in my mouth the whole way but on the journey home we went down the A59 and it was much better. The site is just outside Masham, a 10 minute walk. There is a little shop and a café, but neither were open when we visited so unable to comment on them. The site itself is well kept and the owners are extremely helpful & friendly. My other half can't live without access to teletext, and we could not get reception but the site has aerials for you to use the owner even helped us set it up.

The pitches are very narrow we were unable to put our car next to the van, this was ok when we first arrived as the pitch next to ours was free so we parked on that. I think it would be a pain when the site is full as there is limited space to park anywhere else. There is no dog walking facilities on site, this is a pain for the early morning and late evening constitutional! The owner did explain it was due to being surrounded by fields of sheep but with two dogs I prefer sites with a little area for us to let them go first and last thing. On the whole we had a lovely break weather was not good but the area is fab and the pubs in Masham great the Bay Horse does great food and beer and the white bear and the kings head were ok. Beavers butchers on the main high street do fantastic sausages and their pork pies are also fab. All in all a fab few days

Reviewer: Pashka 2 reviews from this member

 Just returned from this site after spending 3 nights for the late August bank holiday weekend.

We had a wonderful stay and were extremely impressed with this little site which has been carefully thought out and practically designed.

Shower blocks were very clean tidy and warm with plenty of piping hot water. The old Goods building has been sympathetically restored to house an amply stocked mini store which will suffice for most emergency provisions, the offices are housed here together with a very nice little Cafe which served lovely home cooked food at reasonable prices, even though I didn't get a discount for being 'Good Looking' We did use it every day!

The slight critique that I will make is the size of the pitches, which were tight to say the least, allowing no awning space if you chose to park your car next to your unit. Having said this I would return to this site in a breath. The owners and the staff are the greatest asset here, being pleasant polite and cheerful is all too rare nowadays and without exception every person involved on this site seemed happy to be there. This makes this site one of the most pleasurable stays that I have had in many years of touring. I have a bit of a fun side to my nature and this place brought it out. Well done everyone, we felt genuinely sad to leave. The location of 10 minutes walk into Masham was so convenient it added to the overall satisfaction greatly, a wonderful little town with the added benefit of having several reasonably priced Hotels and Pubs together with two Breweries (It was a Northern Lads Dream really!) We cannot wait to return and are hoping to come back soon.

 Had a lovely time at a very well thought out and friendly campsite.

Easy walk to Masham with its shops and pubs and two breweries.

Fantastic breakfast at their on site cafe and even a discount on this when you are a camper.

Great shower and toilet facilities and definitely one to return to.

Ten out of ten.

Reviewer: Jgoodlad 1 review from this member

 Overall a great site lovely area, big warm toilet block, cafe facilities and the owners were friendly and had great local knowledge, however just a few niggles, a rotten pig poo smell came in frequent wafts, the tent pitches were very closely packed together, lots of bugs around and not enough hot water for the showers and washing up.

Reviewer: Shelbo68 1 review from this member

 Just returned from a fabulous Easter weekend at Old Station Campsite at Masham. This is a brilliant little site, super clean and tidy, great showers/toilets that are kept immaculately clean and are warm. The owners do not charge the earth for peak seasons and are very fair. Lovely site rules, ie no noise after 11pm was adhered to by all guests.

Camping spaces are marked out so everything is in an orderly fashion, parking is on a hardstanding a few yards away from your tent.

There is a cafe/bistro, small shop on site but Masham is a 15 minute stroll away and has dog friendly pubs, super old worlde sweet and gift shops.

A wonderful place to stay and we would recommend this site to anyone wanting to get away for a weekend.

Reviewer: Louey 9 reviews from this member

 A nice little site with very good washroom, shower, toilet facilities. Quiet and very well manicured grass. An easy 10 minute walk into Masham and its attractions (two brewery tours and plenty of cafes / pubs / ice cream shows). A well stock small supermarket, butchers and post office in town too.

A couple of negatives - one is not the site owner's fault: hundreds upon hundreds of corn/storm flies that attached themselves to everyone and everything. The other downside was the smell from the cow manure heap I believe was situated next door to the campsite - a bit stronger that just a 'country smell'.

Only stayed one night as the site was full for the Bank Holiday weekend, we did want to extend to a second night but only got told they were full 15 minutes before the 11am departure cut off time so we had a grumpy woman standing next to our pitch with her caravan poised ready in front of us to fill our grave after we left.

Could probably do with a second water point that is more accessible for motorhomes/campervans - this one meant getting our hose out and blocking one of the roadway entrances to the pitches for about 15 minutes. The pitches were on the smallish size. If we a decided to put up our big awning then it wound not have fitted - personally I prefer more organic looking sites than regimented rows but this site served its purpose as a one night stopover/clean up/fill up spot. Good value at £20 including electric.

Philpin Farm Campsite - Yorkshire Dales

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.

 Great little site friendly and close to masham village,

Clean and quiet with a good toilet facility's could do with a small play area for kids, but we have 2 children and they made there own games. Will be returning. Friendly staff to explain all the things to do around the area. Easy to get to, but the pitches could be close but was 1/2 empty when we went so had no issue. Very central area and good bus routes from outside the gates with upto date time tables inside

 Lovely site in masham, nice level pitches, well maintained & clean toilets very helpful site wardens

This caravan site is only a 10 minute walk into the middle of masham where there is a lovely selection of shops & a choice of pubs to visit.

The black sheep brewery is well worth a visit as well.

Looking forward to returning to this site next year when the tour de france passes through masham

Reviewer: Janets65 4 reviews from this member

 Just had a lovely 2 night stay at this campsite. The booking system was really easy and straightforward over the phone with the friendly wardens. When we arrived we were shown around the well kept site and given a choice of where we wanted to pitch our tent. We opted for the tent area at the back of the site which was flat and well laid out. We could have also pitched nearer to the toilet and shower block opposite the caravans. The free showers and toilets were kept spotlessly clean throughout the whole of our stay, and there were even free hairdryers in the block. The site was quiet during the night with all the visitors respecting the 11pm till 7am quiet time.

Masham was about a 10 minute walk from the campsite, either using the footpath across a field, or pathway along the road, and had some nice pubs to sample the local brews! We ate at the Kings Head pub one evening and would recommend it for a good pub meal. We also went into the tourist information office and were given some really good advice on varying length walks in the area without taking the car. We didn't visit the breweries on this visit, as the weather was too good to waste, but would do so if in the area again.

The only thing that I think the campsite could have done with is a water tap towards the camping area at the back, but that really is a tiny niggle about what is overall a fantastic site.

We will definitely be returning to this one!

 This was our first time at the Old Station Holiday Park and it certainly will not be our last! From booking our pitch on the phone to arriving, setting up and leaving at the end of our two-night stay, everything was superb and hassle free.

The Old Station is easy to find along good roads (we left the A1 at J50) and well sign-posted. The site itself was spotless and clearly very well maintained. Pitches were level and we were given the choice of grass or hard-standing. The grass pitch we chose was only 30m from the amenities block but, due to the compact nature of the site, no-one has far to go wherever you are set up.

The showers and toilets were immaculately kept and more than adequate in number for this site. Water temperature spot on and everything as it should be.

Regarding its location, the Old Station is so convenient for the lovely market town of Masham, which is no more than a 15 minute walk or 3 minute drive away. The town is a lovely place with excellent pubs, cafés, a fish & chip shop, butchers, two breweries (with visitor centres), sweet shops and an art gallery. The newly built Co-op is excellent for supplies. Should you wish to travel further afield, Ripon, Lightwater Valley, Forbidden Corner, Fountains Abbey, Brimham Rocks and umpteen great places to visit are all only a reasonably short and pleasant journey away.

Our only (very slight) disappointment was that the on-site café/restaurant wasn't open during our stay due to staffing problems (very clearly explained in a notice on the door) and I hope it is something that the owners can soon rectify.

I would recommend the site to anyone wanting a pleasant and relaxing stay any it won't be long before we're back!

Reviewer: Footstep 16 reviews from this member

 This is a nice little site. Reasonable price £7. 50 pn/1 person (many sites penalise single campers), good facilities which are included in the price.

The camping area is a nice woodland paddock away from the caravans, but looks like they use a strip of grass opposite the caravans for camping.

Flat well maintained grass. Could do with a water tap nearer to the paddock, but believe they used to have but had some problems with it.

For those wishing to go into Masham it's a 10-15 walk along the road or across a flat field. 4 good pubs and a restaurant in the village.

There is a bus stop at the gate of the site that is on the Richmond - Ripon route.
