Just got back from a lovely 2 nights stay, wish it could have been longer, to say it was jubilee/bank holiday weekend it was a fairly quiet. We didn't book & when we turned up we asked the owner if he had any room for 2 adults he said yeh just go in the field over the road & set up where ever you please, very friendly, & didn't want paying till we left.
To say the field is next to a road its a fairly quiet & didn't disturb us what so ever.
Nice flat field, with water tap & the river flowing at the bottom, no problem with midges.
If you wanting electric then you'll be in the little field next to the farm. But beware there is very noisy sheep, one actually sounds like a cow constantly baaaa / moooooing, so was very glad to be over the road away from it!
The toilets are situated over the road in a barn next to the farm, they are basic & mixed sex use, which comprises of 2 toilets & 2 showers, didn't use showers but I did here a few unhappy campers moaning about one of them not hot enough & they are 20p for 5 mins.
Pot washing is also in the barn, no sink just a tap, didn't use that either so don't know if water hot, I just boiled my kettle & washed them in a bowl in tent.
There is another field next to tents to let your dog have a run around.
The great things about this place is it only allows families & couples. No groups! so no loud parties going on till the early hours! no park so make sure the kids have some outdoory things to play with.
There is a pub 'punch bowl' about a mile down road but be aware they don't allow dogs inside as we found out after a rainy walk. & back with our dog. Didn't want to go in anyway, it's more like a bistro & not your nice friendly country pub which we expected! So it was back to the tent for a hot cup of chocolate for us.
No shops except for in nearby Reeth '2 miles'. Nice little village with some great pubs selling the lovely dales beers, also has a museum, it's ok to pass 10 mins on, but not worth the £3 each. No price guide we could see & the nice lady tells you all about the museum & then tells you that'll be £6 please with a nice big smile.
Richmond is worth a trip, the castle costs just under £9 each. Worth it if your into that kind of thing, . But don't expect too much for the price.
This little campsite is well worth £20 for 2 nights for the 2 of us, lovely scenery, back to basic camping just as we like it & will definitely be returning again soon
Management response: Glad you enjoyed the camp site.
The showers are now included in the price so campers no longer need to faff about with 20p coins.
There is a good hot water supply for washing up and these facilities are being upgraded to include a sink.
Come and stay again, it's still a super friendly little site.
I found this site quite hard to find, the sat nav directs you to the bunk barn and although it does have signage to the campsite, it is difficult to read whilst driving.
The campsite is split with the tents on one side of the road and motorhomes and tents with electric hook up on the other. I found the electric hook-up kept cutting out so you had to be quite friendly with your neighbours as it could trip their electric out too.
The site was also sloping, which meant the seams of the ground sheet kept me from slipping into the field during the night.
The shower block holds two good sized showers, unfortunately the doors and the 20p coin operator boxes need numbering as it is slightly confusing. Whist I was there, little or any cleaning happened in the toilet/shower block and there was a definite shortage of loo roll.
A good base for walkers however the site was quite a distance from Richmond town centre and Reeth, the nearest village does not have a supermarket.
All in all, I don't think I will return which is a shame because the scenery was stunning, I just felt the site needed some TLC.
Management response: Sorry you had difficulty finding us, the post code has now been corrected.
The site now has a resident cleaner who provides the T.L.C. as well! Tour De France campers commented favourably on the posy of roses in the loos.
Spent a night at this site. It's a great place, with two fields: one fpr tents and another for campers and motorhomes with electric hook ups.
Facilities are clean and tidy but pretty basic and the showers aren't great. Site fees reasonable.
Location is excellent, right in Swaledale and easily accessible from Richmond. Lots of great walks from the site. Reeth nearby with a range of facilities. We went to the Punch Bowl Inn in Low Row. It's a 20 minute walk but the food and drink are excellent.
Management response: Good to hear you appreciated the excellent location.
Come and try the new showers.
