 Very friendly staff. Clean and tidy site and good facilities. Site location great for walking visit to ripley or short drive to Ripon or Harrogate.
Lovely walks for people and dogs.
We recommend this site and will return.

Fantastic site with very helpful staff
We took our 2 children aged 6 and 3, they loved it, lots and lots of nature to explore and the games room was perfect. The facilities was very clean and spacious
We will definitely be returning

Great site. great area. great staff. But the shower block is absolutely freezing. Such a shame as cannot fault anything else. The shower experience however is really important. I realise the weather is cold but I've felt the heaters & they are only on very low.

Just returned from a long weekend.
Great site, definitely recommended.
All the facilities were very clean on a well organised site with friendly helpful staff.
Pool, games room and play park were ideal for my two kids (12 & 6)
The ducks on site were a lovely addition and the kids thought it was great being able to feed them.
The site is a great location for visiting all the local attractions and towns.
Will be back next season for sure.

I cannot fault this site. The welcome was warm, all the staff extremely friendly and helpful - especially when we ran out of gas! - the site well maintained, the toilet block immaculate and well planned, the play facilities well planned with the ball game field well away from camping units. The swimming pool, shop and newspapers ordering service a bonus and all at a very reasonable price.

I cannot agree with the other reviews - this site was ok ish but nothing to rave about. The photograph for touring on their website has nothing to do with the occasional campers, these were for seasonal. There were few occasional pitches, the majority of the site are seasonal. It felt like an elephants graveyard with seasonal unoccupied caravans. I get it though that it would be great for families in the summer.

A lovely site and well run. Holiday a bit spoilt by the walk across the field to the village. It says it's a path for the caravan site to use but the field has a variety of animals in it and some very frisky horses who were frightening. It would be better if the path was fenced off from the rest of the field. This is why I gave a low mark for child friendliness!

Well we've just returned from our 2nd visit to Ripley Caravan Park and yet again came home feeling happy and relaxed. Such a lovely site, with lots of wildlife and superbly kept site. Toilet?shower block cleaned regularly and always in tip top condition, lovely heated indoor pool. Good access into Harrogate and surrounding areas. The cream of the cream when it comes to Wardens, Cath and Dave are fantastic, super friendly and always there to help and give advice on the local area. Thanks again both of you, perfect couple to run this lovely site!

Just had another 5day break here. [see my earlier post]
It was midweek, so fairly quiet, the staff found us a secluded spot [on our request]. Fortunately, it was quiet anyway due to 'the schools' not being on holiday.
Things to do?. We had a day on the Embsay Steam Railway and another day on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway.
Ripon is a lovely little town. [as is Harrogate & Knaresbrough]. But Ripon somehow is the nicest. Masham is nice too.
The local pub in the nearby village of Ripley sell good value sandwiches [the main food menu looked a tad expensive, but if its the same value as the sandwiches, it may well be worth the money].
The local wildlife is good, we had a hedgehog visit us most nights, and despite being well away from 'the duckpond' a pair of Mallards made our caravan a regular visit. The site also has a large population of rabbits. [it was hilarious watching a rabbit chase a coot/moorhen away from its young rabbits one morning]
I cant really comment on 'child friendliness' of the site, because we didn't have our grandchildren with us, but the children's playground looks good, and there is also a field reserved for 'ball games'. [presumably it saves the irritating 'thud' of a ball hitting your caravan. ]
All in all. Another great break at this lovely site. We're hoping to visit again this year, this next time with our grand children.

We have just returned from a two night [midweek] stay here, we found the site staff pleasant & helpful, the facilities toilets top class, pitches vary with 'grass' or 'hardstanding'. We opted for 'grass'. Which was short & neatly cut.
A previous reviewer has complained about 'duck poo'. Despite being near to the Duck Pond and a large presence of ducks, we found no such problem. [my only worry was that the ducks would raid my BBQ, or that they would upset our rather feisty Jack Russell Terrier. Fortunately, neither occurred]
There is a small 'dog-walk' area on the edge of the park [along with a 'ball games' area. Which we though is nice touch]
The swimming pool is rather small, but the water was a nice temperature, and not 'over-chlorinated' [as many pools are]. It was nice to take a dip there one afternoon. A bargain at £1. 50. There is also a Sauna [we're intending to try that next time].
You can order a daily paper at the small on site shop. Order it the day before though. If you miss out, the local Post Office/General Convenience Store in the village of Ripley sell papers
The Post Office also sells snacks. We bought a Scotch Egg & a Yorkshire Pasty. These might sound like the normal snack one could buy anywhere. But with a twist, we found both contain a large amount of 'pork pie' style filling, very different, and delicious. Both proved to be a meal in itself.
There is a small indoor 'playroom' for the kids, and a larger room with pool/billiard tables for the older children, as well as a children's playground, I would have no hesitation bringing my grand-kids here.
We are totally new to the caravan aspect of touring [despite having spent many years and toured most of England as 'Trailer Tenters' ]. This was only our second outing with our new caravan, fortunately an understanding neighbour helped us with a bit of advice and our awning [thanks Bill, if youre reading this].
TV reception is very good. [although, if you're used to juggling with & adjusting a small aerial in a trailer tent, the built in aerial on our caravan seemed like a luxury].
On the downside, it is a large site, and I guess it may get busy during Peak Season Weekends. We are normally used to smaller quieter sites, although I suspect the staff would try to accommodate you in a quiet place if you asked.
Would I go back????. Despite having a rule that we never visit the same site twice in a year, YES, we've booked to back next week. There looks to be lots to do/visit in the area, so we will be looking into that next week. [watch this space?]
TBH, I would give this site 11 out of 10 if I could.

Stayed here for one night. They normally only do two so was nice to be accommodated.
The site itself is suitable for kids it has a play area and games room and swimming pool, though this was closed due to refurb.
Toilet block seemed a bit tired, but showers hot and powerful.
However, the toilets were frequently soiled. This was not a fault of the owners, it is the people using them not having courtesy to others who need to use them. The management do check the facilities frequently.
Site is close to Ripley, an hours walk to Harrogate or a short bus ride, we did half and half.
The staff at the site were helpful, one chap helped us put the van on to the pitch and another gave us directions to walk or bus in to Harrogate
Nice site for families

Our only regret is that we could only stay for one night, as we were on our way home from France. The welcome from the wardens was excellent and the experience completed a memorable holiday. A peaceful site with pool, sauna, ducks and moorhens!

We think the last time we visited was about 30 years ago, but we needed to somewhere in Harrogate for a couple of nights mid week so we returned. It is a very large site with spacious pitches, we got one on the banks of the duck pond :-) The wardens were all very friendly. Best summed up as informal but professional. The site was very clean, and we often saw the wardens picking up litter whilst doing other jobs. The toilets and the swimming pool/ sauna look tired and need a refurb. We intended a swim every day but after our first one didn't use it again.
We (I'm an OAP with a heart condition) walked from the site to Harrogate (about 4. 5 miles) along the old railway line (sustrans 67). A great walk but be warned it is uphill every step of the way. It is only 1 in 120, but it goes on & on. Suggest you go into Harrogate (starts in ASDA car park) and walk or cycle downhill to the site.

Had a fantastic 4 nights at Ripley Caravan Park.
Came here with a family of 4 which included 2 little people aged 7 & 3.
The wardens and staff are very friendly and are always available if you need help as are the other caravaners.
The park is great for the kids as is the pool.
The wildlife is great with ducks wandering around all day and hedgehogs roaming on a night time.
Being overly critical, the site could do with a pub (not a clubhouse).
A nice pub to have a couple of beers and a nice meal would just make this park a 10.
Had a fab time and would go back.
Thank you Ripley Caravan Park.
