 We called in as a last minute addition to our travel home and we weren't disappointed
We arrived pre arranged late in darkness and the warden was so helpful in getting us to our pitch near the toilets/showers
The site was quiet with only two or three other units so being near the toilets was not a problem and in fact a a huge benefit as the weather was forecasted to come in real bad - and it did - wind and rain howling throughout the night
The hook ups were modern and illuminated so easy to locate - the pitch was level on Tarmac which was a boon in the morning as it was still chucking it down
The toilet and showers are modern, clean and immaculate, plenty of hot water although the shower pressure was a little on the limp side - but no matter, the block was excellent with plenty of pot wash facs which we always use
The site is kept beautifully and is well drained, the grass kept immaculately and is on a farm off the beaten track but near enough the attractions of Ripon and the Yorkshire Dales
We intend to do a Dales trip early next year and this site will be on the itinerary

We have just come back from a weekend at this incredibly spacious site - I had no idea the site would be so large but this is because so much space is given to both pitches and also large open areas which is lovely. It appeared only half the site is used for touring, quite a few pitches are clearly seasonal and the statics are set at the back. We were pitched at the bottom of the far paddock and pitches 14 and 15 were particularly generous in size, those along the sides seemed closer together. This paddock has a huge grass area in the middle so you don't feel overlooked at all. Our childen enjoyed the play areas and scooting around the site. There are only 4/5 showers in the single block which appeared few for the size of the site, however on both mornings I was the only one in there at what I consider peak time so I guess they are adequate. Depending on where you are pitched you may have quite a trek to get to the showerblock which is at the site entrance. Friends of ours stayed in one of the pods and the setting of these in the woods is really magical especially at night when the path is lit up. You cannot drive to the pods so have to park and use wheelbarrows to transport your belongings. The pod parking area is next to the caravan storage area and is a bit off putting, I imagine the site plan to landscape this more as the pods are a new development, however once you are past this the woodland is lovely. The area is great for days out and we will most certainly go back as we live only an hour from the site, it will become a weekend bolt-hole for us. For a large site I find it quite friendly with other campers saying hello. The only thing that frustrated me was that I had to complete my whole booking on the internet as I could never get through on the phone - there is not an answerphone and the phone just rings endlessly. I do think it is important to be able to speak to staff when booking if you have specific questions or requirements and I do think this could be improved. Otherwise, a lovely place!

Lovely site, Last time we visited was few years ago, Doesn't seem so strict now. Campers near us all enjoying themselves singing and playing guitar, around fires until late, but that didn't bother us, they were having a great time. One tent owner even had flashing lights on a flag pole attached to tent. ( though pleased I wasn't next to them)
We were in lower paddock and just wish there was toilet block down there, little bit of a walk to visit loo.
Our tent was right next to play area and had to ask some very noisy children to stop screaming, but it was 11pm!
Lovely clean toilet and shower block, but maybe should be more showers for such big site, as there were people waiting on a morning. Improved washing up area from our last visit, lovely clean new sinks, under cover.
Plenty space for children to run about, (and adults ) plenty of cricket/football games going on near us too. Activities organised by owner for Bank Holiday. Fishing on site too.
Didn't use Barn for food so cannot comment. Will definitely be back, but little nearer toilet block next time.
Note that site little way off beaten track, with narrow roads.

Just returned from a 2 night stay in a standard camping pod. What a great site. Very clean and tidy. Made very welcome by all the staff. Plenty for our kids to do(they are 5 & 8 years old). Had a meal in the pub, very nice and plenty of it.

It was our first time camping, so don't have anything to compare it to, but we loved it! So much freedom for the kids and plenty room to run around. Site was very well maintained and clean. I felt totally relaxed letting my 4 and 7 yr olds go wondering round the site. Every other camper was very respectful to the surroundings and other guests. We will definitely visit again.

I love this campsite! They have spacious marked out pitches. Checked in early and the staff were very friendly as they were last year. Tent up and within a short space of time, our 7 yr old found a few friends to play with.
Very good place for the kids to run around safely. People really respect this site.
They have a barn with pool table, small kids climbing wall and table tennis table. It entertained our son for quite some time and this is located right next to the on site pub!
Showers are clean, hot and free.
Short drive to Brimham Rocks - great afternoon!

Excellent quiet family site - our best ever yet! Definitely hope to return. Great on site facilities in lovely countryside.
Nice quiet relaxed site. Not for parties or groups, or noisy late night drinking. Need to comply with site terms and conditions.
Our pitch was pre booked and positioned next to our friends as we requested. Sign at gate says no commercial vehicles, but thankfully we were allowed on site with our van as we confirmed we were not staying in the van.
Secure site: Was given our own access code to the barrier and a map with directions to our pitch in the middle paddock. Pitches are all around the edge of field.
Lovely owner, who tours the site, and we saw her approach some adults causing some noise disturbance with super loud remote control cars.
Toilet facilities great. (x5 shower cubicles) Fabulous washing up area behind toilet block with x6 washing up sinks with hot running water.
Onsite pub serving food. Also allows dogs and children, handy when it rains!
Didn't get chance to explore the site surrounding area, hope to return for local walk next time. Just a few miles out of Ripon and close to Brimham rocks and other towns/villages.
Thanks to the site for hosting a great weekend!

Spent a weekend here at Woodhouse Farm, what a delightful site, and relatively easy to find even without a sat nav, well signposted on the Fountains Abbey road.
Friendly greetings from staff on reception and directed to a spacious pitch with EH, almost flat and with an empty pitch on one side for the whole of the weekend, although the site was busy with a mix of caravans, trailer tents and tents at no time did it feel crowded, and it was a very family friendly site. The site was very peaceful despite being busy and we even enjoyed the glorious dawn chorus on both mornings.
Toilets and showers were always clean and warm and I never had to queue, with loads of free hot water.
A bonus was the children's play areas which were well used by my grandson and lots of other children, and The Barn which is not only a restaurant it is a Black Sheep Brewery licensed bar, quality of the food was very good with good portions, and very reasonable prices and the Thatchers on draft was also very welcome.
The bar showed the world cup matches on TV but even though the England match finished late everyone was very mindful of not making any noise as they returned to their units.
Small on site shop sold delicious fresh bread and stocked a small selection of the usuals.
Didn't use the laundry so unable to comment.
Visited Ripon and Fountains Abbey during our stay and had a very enjoyable short break.
Would definitely visit again.

We first visited those site in 2014 but have since returned & have also recommended to friends over the years who have also visited.
Nice little site in a great location for visiting Brimham Rocks, out on site serving delicious food, facolites clean & well maintained.
Plenty of room for the kids to play in the field plus playgrounds. Great site.

Stayed in one of the larger camping pods (2 adults plus a five year old} from May 24th for 3 nights. Be aware that you can`t park your car near the pods. There is a small car parking area next to the path that leads there, and wheelbarrows provided to get your camping stuff to the pods. Bring wellies and plenty of spare clothes as very muddy currently. Looks a bit unfinished There are no grassed areas between the pods but looks like the grass will grow there eventually. Overall very impressed with inside of pods. Spacious, carpeted and very warm as have oil radiator. We took our usual camping things and outdoor cooking stuff, but did see people taking small fridges and toasters. There is an overhang on the decking which shelters you a bit when cooking outside. There were 2 electric sockets in our pod, which was useful. Also 2 lights, but on one switch and at the far end of pod so not necessarily where you want them. The toilet block is quite a trek but looks like they are finishing off a new toilet/shower block next to the car park. Toilet block/ showers generally very clean considering site exceptionally muddy in places. There are some play areas on site and our child used the one next to the pot-washing, which was handy. There is a restaurant/pub on site but we didn`t use it. Ideal for visiting Ripon, Fountains Abbey and Middleham Castle.

Spent 2 days at this site and really loved it. We are only 20 miles from here but you could have driven 200 and you wouldn't find anywhere better!Great sized pitch with a massive field in front where many other sites would have pitched other vans but this site chooses to give you a nice view. Toilet block cannot be faulted and the wash up area first class. Barn Pub we found to be a bit dated but really friendly and nice hand pulled Black Sheep Bitter. Walked up to Lumley Reservoir on Saturday which is beautiful and well worth the half hour walk then ended up in the Grantley Arms a well earned beer. Expensive food but quality you cannot fault. After all we are on a weekend holiday!On Sunday we visited Theakstons Brewery which was brilliant. Overall we loved this site and will be back probably this year to do it all again. Don't know the lady who owns the site but she is really helpful and knows the area brilliantly. If you don't like this site it's time to pack up caravanning!

We have just returned from a very wet weekend at Woodhouse Farm. The site was quiet, being just after the bank holiday and on a weekend when really bad weather was forecast. The warden was friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough for us. This is a big site but with a nice family friendly feel. There is loads of space for kids to play and the shower blocks and facilities are excellent.
My husband and son went fishing and had a reasonably good day. The warden told us that they have had a predator on the main lake so there arent as many fish about as usual. For this reason they didn't charge for fishing. Hopefully this is a temporary problem because sites that accommodate families who want to fish are fairly rare.
One word of warning, due to the wet weather the site was very boggy in places. Don't let this stop you from going but do take wellies and plenty of spare clothes for the kids. Our pitch quickly turned into a mud bath and we regretted not getting a hardstanding - but the weather was exceptionally bad.
In summary a great site with owners who obviously care and are to be commended for this. Sensible prices too. We will be back.

We have just arrived back from a lovely stay at Woodhouse Farm just outside Ripon. The facilities were first class, there is a climbing wall for the kids along with a fort and other play areas. The site is a little off the beaten track but it so secure and family friendly we were able to let our two boys off wandering around the site, they are 5 and 8 years old. There are big open spaces for them to play ball games, etc. There are a few chickens wandering around passing the time of day.
The toilets were lovely and clean and loads of hot water, the staff were really friendly and there is excellent wi-fi in the bar. We didn't eat in the bar but the meals looked delicious. The drinks prices are as you would expect, not over the top though.
The pitches are a good size and on the top paddock where we were, were flat and easy to negotiate, they have electric hook-up but are not fully serviced but there are plenty of water taps dotted about. It is a bit of a walk to the Elsan point but not too bad.
The site is a great place as a base, it is about four miles outside Ripon, just be careful which way you go as some roads are not suitable for caravans, these are clearly marked though.
Overall I would definitely recommend this site, it is peaceful, quiet of an evening, loads of open fields with a real friendly atmosphere, we loved it, thank you Woodhouse.

Just spent two nights in our folding caravan at Woodhouse Farm.
Staff were brilliant, polite & helpful. The site is very secure and has security barriers both ways.
The facilities were excellent - clean, warm and plentiful.
There is a small shop and an on site restaurant. We asked permission for our dog to come into the restaurant with us and they allowed her in on the proviso she was well behaved; the food was excellent & reasonably priced. The atmosphere in the pub/ restaurant was lovely with an open fire.
There are free roaming chickens and we were lucky enough to see the baby lambs.
There is a large fishing lake on site too.
We will definitely be returning to this site.
