 Absolutely love this campsite, very clean and extremely well run, lots of attention to detail and the toilet / shower area is great.
The nature trail was excellent and filled an afternoon, the kids (3 and 4) loved it.
Pateley Bridge well worth a visit with the oldest sweetshop in the country and a brill butchers for your bbq meat!
We ate out one evening after a struggle to find anywhere, there are 2 locals - The Crown in Middlesmoor which didn't open til 7pm, and The Crown in Lofthouse which is apparently not very child friendly! We ate at Harefield Hall in PB which was great.
Highly recommend this place particularly for young families, and we will definitely be returning!

Just spent one night at Studfold.
Friendly welcome at reception and given very clear map / site guide with directions to our pitch. Good size pitch in camping field (no 32) with no immediate neighbours as pretty quiet this week.
In fact only three tents in the furthest field and not many more in the main one. Loads of room for the kids to run about and play football.
Wonderful facility block (new last year I think) with excellent showers and washing. Great walks from the site around Nidderdale. Will definitely be returning in the future.

We stayed here for three nights and were blown away, not in our tent may I add but by the overall spectacular views. On arrival, we were met with a lovely lady at the little reception area which also doubles up as a shop. We were given the pitch number and went on to put up the tent.
Positives: lovely clean modern showers, toilets and pot washing area. Level pitch with loads of room. Easy to park the car at the side of the tent. A ten minute walk to the very friendly pub and the landlord and land lady were lovely. Great access to fishing on the Nidd and Scar House res. Beautiful walks along the beck and river. A gorgeous family of baby swallows.
Negatives: Two shower cubicles in the ladies and 20 plus pitches (if site full). Stoney ground so difficult to get one or two tent pegs in. You need to get stocked up with bread, milk and butter. The local two shops sell out of essentials very quickly. The nearest supermarket is a few miles away in Pately Bridge.
We will definitely be returning. We had a great time despite the wind and rain.

We spent a wonderful weekend at Studfold - two families, including four children aged 6-11. We found the facilities excellent, the countryside marvellous and the owners v helpful.
They were happy to lend us their jumpleads when we got a flat battery on departure.
Great place for children, felt v safe.
Wonderful countryside and some nice little walks in the immediate vicinity of the campsite. The little brook was v attractive to the children, but not deep enough to concern us if they ventured off unaccompanied.
The only downfall was the sudden appearance of midgies as soon as darkness started to fall. We braved it the first evening, but all the children's faces were covered with bites. The second night we gave in and spent the evening in the tent, which is a shame on one of the hottest weekends of the year.
Great location and all in all a great experience.

We spent one night here recently and had a fabulous time. We joined friends who had camped before and the owner placed us nearby. There was plenty of space and it was a nice family site with lots of room for the kids to play.
The location is amazing, a gorge at the bottom of the field with a babbling brook, nature trail and smack bang in the dales.
The washing up facilities and the toilets and showers were the best I've seen. The shop was small though if there was one thing that could be changed.
Would have loved to stay longer.

We first visited this site in 2009 and loved it.
Since then we felt that the site has gone a bit 'corporate'.
It has expanded and feels very crowded when full.
We were lucky enough to be in the field without electricity which was a lot more spacious. The tents with electricity were cooped together with little space between them.
It was the end of half term and was busy with several groups of friends and families but it still kept a family feel and was quiet in the evenings.
The shower blocks were rated as excellent last visit but as the site has expanded, the facilities have not and two showers each for each gender is just not enough for 46 pitches.
The water is also very smelly as it is high in fluoride and so has the sulphurous pong. This is not the camp-site's fault but the odour was strong enough last weekend to make drinking and showering unpleasant.
We did not like having a code on the shower block as the chances of vandalism etc are minimal as the site is in a rural area and there is nothing more annoying than paying a trip to the loo at 1am to realise that you cannot remember the code!
The site is in a beautiful location with good facilities. It just needs to be able to adapt to being full and perhaps a little more tlc from the owner.
OWner's comments: Thank you for your review; it is always good to get feedback of both a positive and negative nature. We do take note of the reviews left about our Park and refer to them for future changes. In recent months we have reduced the charge for a gazebo/kitchen tent and had another deep sink added for better washing up facilities. With direct reference to this review I would like to make a couple of points: We keep the toilet doors locked with a punch pad entry code so that only our visitors have access to the facilities. We have had both walkers and campers from an adjacent site trying to gain access. Hot water is therefore used by those that it is intended for. The period of your stay was busy but we never book in more units than the 46 pitches. We usually try and keep 4 pitches in reserve to cover for unexpected arrivals (which are very unusual). Finally we pride ourselves on being a caring family run park. The purpose of me walking around the park is to ensure that people are happy and to place myself in a situation where I can offer advice and occasionally enforce the park rules! We do get over subscribed but a large proportion of our bookings are repeat visits.

We enjoyed are stay at studfold farm at easter
With wonderful views of the country side very
Good for walking. The new shower block is excellent, very clean with free hot water for showers and washing up.
Nice level site for caravans with elec hook up. The tents are next door.
The shop is very small, so bring lots of food. There's no tv unless you have a dish for the tv. Our phones only worked at the end of the road
Apart from that very nice site, peace and relaxing, you wont want to leave. And there's a nice sweet shop at pateley bridge. Highly recommended.

Just spent three days here and by fluke timed it to perfection - wall-to-wall sunshine and just about had the place to ourselves so no problem with queueing for the showers and loos! No doubt it helped that we were there mid-week and missed the bank holiday.
Immaculate facilities and jaw-dropping scenery. Whatever you do, just make sure you approach the site from the Pateley Bridge end - our sat nav brought us in 'over the top' as the locals call it and we had to negotiate hills, dales, cattle grids and switchbacks with a twin axle van - still having nightmares.
Fortunately, we unwound at the Crown Inn in Lofthouse, walking distance from the campsite. I thought pubs like this were long gone - smiling landlord wearing a tie, a run of real ales, plenty of banter and good honest food. Counting the days till we can go back - bliss!

Enjoyed a brilliant stay at Studfold. Views are fantastic and there is plenty to do, we visited brimham rocks(would be brilliant for kids), fountains abbey and Howstein gorge- which is just down the lane!
facilities were great, never had to queue for showers or washing up facilities- which were always kept spotlessly clean. Shop was ok, had all the basics we needed.
Pately bridge is about 15 minutes away if you need to do a more extensive shop and it is also a lovely place to visit, we went for lunch in one of the cafes there which was really nice.
I would definitely rate the site itself 10/10 and will be visiting again hopefully later this summer as the nights were rather cold!

This site came highly recommended by friends who have stayed here several times.It is a lovely setting and the site has great views all around including a river running close by.
I think we were unlucky to have some late comers on the next pitch who were talking loudly until well after 11.30pm on the first night however this settled down. I found the facilities clean and well maintained but there were not enough of them for the amount of people on the site causing queues for almost everything.
The play area was ample and there were plenty of children using it. Our kids loved building a den in the field above the site. Plenty of shops in Pateley Bridge for supplies and a visit to 'The Oldest Sweetshop in England' is a must.

Just got back from another visit. We have been to studfold on many occasions as it has always been our favourite campsite and we have posted previous reviews.
This site is everything the other reviews have said. The location is stunning, the pitches are big, and you do get peace and quiet.
The site has expanded and now has 46 pitches, however the toilet, shower and washing up facilities have remained the same. Their are three toilets, two showers and two washing up sinks.
This weekend the site was full so we queued to use the facilities. This popular sites does need to increase the facilities to accommodate the number of campers.
This will not be problem when the site is not so busy.

Just returned from this fantastic site, even though we have a ten year old she didn't need a playground.The toilet block as previously stated was top class.
The site quiet and peaceful ( quiet by 10ish on the three nights we were there). The walks around the area are fantastic.
We went into the stream to the right of the site and enjoyed walking around ( just a few thoughtless people leaving the odd bit of litter).
One thing I would say is, take shopping with you as the site shop was more of a tuck shop but could order milk and bread in for you, Pateley Bridge does have a Spar but it is very over priced ( do go to the Chippy there as it was lovely and cheaper than the Spar).
Would definitely visit again.

We visited in April to avoid the Royal wedding fuss. We've been several times now and love it here. The site is always tidy and never feels overcrowded.
Yes, sometimes we had to wait for the loos, but it's not a big site so the wait is never too long. I like the private cubicle with the hand wash basin - other sites should do this.
The site also provides cleaning stuff in the shower block which everyone uses so the facilities are spotless.
Another reviewer has said that the pitches with hook up are close together. I wouldn't have said so really - it's never been a problem for us anyway and we have a massive tent!
The walks in the surrounding area are superb. It's a gentle stroll to the pub (the one in the village is lovely with great pub food (my husband was delighted when after Sunday lunch the chef came round with a platter of roast beef, offering seconds and thirds because it wasn't going to get eaten by anyone. The food in the pub at the top of the hill leaves a lot to be desired and the landlord there seems not to be keen on welcoming big groups with children, despite the fact that said children are all drinking expensive J2O etc).
The site owners are very keen on noise restrictions at night so don't go if you're after a noisy outdoor boozy session with your ipod on full blast.
The nature trail is fab - our hard-to-impress urban kids loved it. It's had a lot of money spent on it and it shows. Don't miss it. Leave the dog behind though - one of the pleasures of this walk is that there is no dog mess around for the unwary seven year old to tread in (and for gagging mum to prise out of the trainer with a pointy stick).
Another reviewer downgraded the site a bit because it's too far from anywhere! Funny. This is camping in the countryside - if you want a Sainsbury's on your doorstep, it's not the place for you. Yes, it would nice to walk to a farm shop serving delicious breakfasts for £1. 50 etc - but that's in the 'If Carling ran a campsite. ' dreamworld!
There's a little river just down the hill at the bottom of the site. Our children (all aged seven and over) were fine down there, but if you have toddlers you would want to keep an close eye on them to make sure they weren't heading off unattended.
We love it here - we're not good campers so are hard to please, but we'll keep coming back.

Studfold has everything you want, we give the site 5 stars for everything. Walks in every direction, Crown pub Lofthouse, fab beer and food fantastic. We go because its like a drug, a tonic to de-stress you, with all around you fresh air and plenty to do young and old. You can leave your car if you want to explore from the site, or half an hours drive in any direction brings into play 10s of other things to do. Just don't tell to many people cause when you go you wont want to leave!

First outing of the year and it had to be back to Studfold - the kids love it and it has everything we need. The site is in a great location for exploing Upper Nidderdale, with some fantastic scenery, selection of pubs with good beer and food.
The site is well laid out with very good facilities, toilet block was very clean, small shop and always a friendly welcome from the owners. We will be back very soon - we love it.
Mobile signal is not the best - you might have to go up to the pub in Middleton to get one(great excuse for a beer)
