 What a lovely little site, peaceful, lovely walks nearby and within close walking distance to the village.
Pitches are spacious and separated by shrubbery, we felt that had the site to ourselves even though there were other visitors staying. Our pitch had a lovely view of the pond.
The showers and toilets are spotless, there is a well stocked information hut and the friendly owner is on hand to answer any questions. He was kind enough not to charge us for our awning as we have a micro - campervan and take up very little space. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 nights here and will definitely be back soon.

I hate to start off being negative, but if you're allocated pitch 6b you'll not be getting much space for your money. We'd just bought a new awning and were wanting to try it out but found there was not enough room, and I also had to do a little weeding before I felt comfortable using the pitch as the nettles were starting to come up through the gravel. That said, it is probably the quietest pitch on site tucked away in the corner, and has a wonderful view of the meadow (including pond and heron!).
The site itself is well maintained and peaceful, and each pitch has electricity and its own water point. The facilities are very clean and I loved the fact that the shower room was bigger than my bathroom at home, having corner shower, washbasin, toilet, a seat to sit on, clothes hooks and a heater!
There is no reception when you arrive at the site, just pick up your envelope from a box at the gate which tells you which pitch you're on, and after you're set up post your payment in the post box on site. Unconventional but it works. (Cash or cheques only. )
We walked into Bedale which took about half an hour by road, but if we'd planned better we could have caught a bus from the nearby village of Crakehall. There are no public footpaths into Bedale but the main road has a footpath so it's safe.
All in all a very enjoyable weekend. I'm sure we'll be back.

Just had two weeks here and it was wonderful. Facilities excellent, site excellent, owners excellent, location excellent. Trains running nearby and jets flying above - I was delighted. Can't wait for next year. The lanes are quiet for walking and the footpaths through the fields are good, too. The garage in Crakehall is a 5 minute walk and stocks your daily needs, while Northallerton market is a joyful throwback to what proper markets should be.

We have just returned from this site and I love it. If you want noise, family entertainment or lots of kids this is not the site for you. As two adults wanting a break in peaceful beautiful surroundings in a glorious part of the country then this is a real find. I loved the fact that there is no cramped shower block where clothes get damp because you have no room to get changed. The lovely ladies shower is a room with shower and little seat, toilet and wash basin and places to hang your clothes. More like being at home than on a caravan site. There is also another loo and gents facilities are just as good. There is a washing up area and clothes lines, no washing machine or dryer. No internet and phone signal intermittent. This is a very small lovely site where the owners leave you to get on with it just check that you are okay from time to time. On arrival you find an envelope at the gate and put your payment in it and post it in an old fashioned quaint little post box for the owners to pick up that evening so that you have time to set up and enjoy your time there. All clean and tidy with dog walking area and local pub and church nearby. Short ride into Bedale will find you shops pubs and a weekly market. It is only around £1 on the bus to Knaresborough if you want bigger shops and we also took a ride to Thirsk if you fancy the races.
I believe a couple of families go there regularly and they were friendly and informative. The electric hook up did trip a couple of times being only 10amp but this was a minor inconvenience made up for by the fresh water tap on each pitch which was very handy.

First time at this site which we stumbled upon by accident having seen the sign at side of road. Small site of 9 hard standing pitches which are in the main fairly level and have electric and water at the pitch. Met by very friendly owners who must work very hard keeping the site clean and well maintained. Facilities are quite basic but very clean and more than adequate for site of this size. We were lucky enough to be given a pitch looking over the pond and spent a lot of time watching the Canada goose protecting his mate who was sitting on eggs. There is a way marked walk into nearby village where there is a shop, garage and pub. It is possible to walk into Bedale but along road. Great location for access to dales, Leyburn being about 15 minutes away as is Masham. Being an adults only site it made for a peaceful weekend and we can't wait to return.

Delighted to make a return trip to Herons Pond for a long weekend in March. As you would expect from this site, everything was in tip-top condition ready for the season - meadow mowed, new chippings on the dog run, beautifully clean shower and toilets. Well maintained sanitary area. Always lives up to expectations, thank you.
Good local shops 5 minutes away in Bedale, perfect for access to Leyburn, Wensleydale and Hawes. (As favoured by the 2014 Tour de France)

Lovely site. Nothing to add that others haven't already said. Excellent location, very peaceful, informal and relaxing! Facilities perfectly adequate - nothing fancy, but clean and spacious. Not too far from A1 so ideal stop on our way up to Scotland. Thank you to the owners for getting it just right! We intend to go back for longer next year.

Lovely site, just perfect, total peace and quiet, the views are good, you can look over herons pond and watch the heron come in, sometimes a kingfisher appears but we did not see it. Really friendly owners who see you as you arrive and then leave you alone until the day you are coming home when they say goodbye. Toilets and shower facilities excellent they want for nothing.
Will certainly be going again next year.

This was a lovely site well maintained. Showers were wonderful they were very clean it was like walking into your own bathroom at home. All pitches had their own water tap which was excellent. Very peaceful and quiet lovely owner. We would definitely return. The village was lovely but the local pub seemed to open at odd times but then living near London we are used pubs being open all day. This was a good base to see the Yorkshire dales.

Great place to stay, The site was well laid out and private, our pitch was very private and close to the showers, these were clean and gave a great shower, plenty of hot water and very spacious, The owner was very informative and had real character. This is a site worthy of a re-visit. The area around the site was dog user friendly with lots of poop scoops and seats to rest and admire the vista, Beware the heron, although there is a real one which visits regularly don't make the mistake of spending half an hour to get the great picture only to find that the bird in question is plastic. Plenty of laughs over that one. The site is just one big plus and a must for adults who like peace and quiet.
