 Just got home from what turned out to be a [very] long weekend on this site. We were initially with our car owners club, on the 'Rally Field', but we liked it so much that we opted to stay a couple of extra nights.
After paying £10 per night with our Car Owners Club, we found the 'rent' to be a very reasonable £12. 50 a night. We've stayed on far worse sites, for more 'rent' per night [caravan, 2x adults with EHU].
The grass is immaculately short, the amenities are good [shower @ 50p for ample time], the views are superb and the site is sitated in a lovely little village.
We did'nt have our grandchildren with us, but there is what looks to be a well sorted children's play area.
There are two pubs in the village, we only tried the 'Railway', the beer was good and the locals were very friendly.
Whilst staying here, we had a day out on the Embsay Steam Railway, and took a short cruise on a canal barge in Skipton [tbh, I found the cruise a little disapointing, because having done the same a few years ago, its now not possible to take the same trip, as part of the canal has suffered a landslip and has blocked part of the canal]. It was enjoyable enough, but not as good as it was.
One of the days we walked into Skipton and caught the train back [ the site is virtually next to the railway, although train noise isnt a problem, as most of them are electric, and thus very quiet, being near the railway of course, the village station is only a couple of hundred yards away, and trains into Skipton [and beyond] are frequent enough.
We found the site rather difficult to find, one has to turn into 'Moorfoot Lane', and to be fair, it looks like you are about to turn into some-one back garden. Fortunately, a friendly 'local' chappie pointed us in the right direction.
My advice is that if you visit on a weekend, send a passenger down the lane and over the bridge, as reversing could be very awkward if two caravans meet [I'm assuming here of course, that everyone is as useless as myself at reversing a caravan]
Anyways. This site is high on our 'must visit again' list, and next time we're hoping that we can bring our two little grandaughters with us [aged 4&6] as it looks one of the most child-friendly sites we've seen.

Great weekend with 7 other families. Fantastic play area for the youngens. Friendly and helpful owner. Couple of great pubs a short walk away one of which has a playground opposite. Would recommend for families with young children. We got the train into Skipton which has a Morrisons supermarket next to it. Sure we will be back next May.

Love this campsite. Regular visitors. Very family friendly. The k8ds love helping the farmer with little jobs. Look forward to going back this summer. Great village close by with a Chinese take away and two pubs. One train stop to Skipton is great. Would recommend.

This was our third visit to the site and there will be a fourth and fifth no question.
Alison is a very easy going host and she obviously runs a tight ship.
Great site, great village, great amenities.
Bring on 2018!

Great campsite, friendly site manager and in a perfect location. The surrounding views were delightful to wake up to each morning.
We stayed for two nights and had a day out in Skipton. The site is in close proximity to the train station, so you have the option drive or take a train.
In walking distance to the New Inn pub, the landlady's very hospitable and made my family feel very welcome - highly recommend popping in for a pint.

We stayed her for a long weekend and it was a nice friendly site, my daughter made friends and played safely which was great.
The pitch was level and the facilities were ok, always clean but sometimes had to wait for showers, good washing up facilities.
The location is very good, located in a lovely village with 2 dog friendly pubs, also a nice playground in the village and a shop and takeaway. We had an enjoyable stay.

Although on a rally - what a cracking campsite near Skipton -The site is set in different grassed area's although there is a small number of hardstanding pitches and also a tent field. Did not use the facilities but as you see from previous reviews more than adequate. There is a train station within a 5 minute walk with trains to Skipton every 15 minutes (Just one stop and you are there £3. 60 for 2 adult returns)
There are also 2 pubs in the village - we visited both and found them both good serving real ale but we spent most time in the Railway Inn where we watched the football enjoying the food and drink. Also in the village there is a Post Office selling newspapers etc. Plus a chinese take away.
Several good walks and also the opportunity to walk along side of the canal into Skipton.

Just arrived back from another wonderful stay at Riverside.
What a cracking site, nothings to much trouble for the owners, he even brought us more tables and benches, as all the others were on site, that's what I call a good service, usual standards with toilets and showers, cleaned and replenished regularly, even though it was busy, we never ran out. Booked for next year just to make sure we get on.
Keep up the good work, the site is a credit to you.

We stayed on the rally field on our visit to this wonderful site,
Beautiful views all round. Owners were very friendly and keep the site lovely and clean. Toilets and showers were kept very very clean
Even though the campsite was very busy we had no trouble using the facilities.
Handy for visiting Skipton, train station only a few minutes away.
The new inn pub in the village serves good meals and there is also Post office/shop for necessities and a cantonese takeaway.
Despite the weather being a little changeable we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this delightful spot.
Children are also well catered for with a play area with sand and toys.
Also a park in the village
We have booked for next year with our group of Bambi motorhomes
Great site!

Looking for a place to stay near Skipton for a night out.
What a lovely site! Immaculate toilet facilities. Site well set out, loads of room for chasing balls (if we had remembered to bring one!), well manicured grass. Walks in the fields immediately beyond the site. River just next door.
The site is just a few minutes drive from the main road, but amazingly quiet. The surroundings fields seem to block out any road noise.
The site is very well situated for exploring the local area. Train is a few minutes walk away with great service to Skipton and onwards west or East to Leeds. The canal isn't far for leisurely walks into town. Didn't have time to explore Connonley this visit but there is a pub.
The owner is very very friendly and helpful. Just ring for assistance. Look out for the website!
We would definitely return.
Thank you
HTC
PS no children and didn't check out facilities for them so gave random mark based on rest of experience

We found this site to be perfect for our needs, the toilet/ showers were spotless, the pitches were nice and spacious and the grass was well kept throughout the site. The kiddies play area was well equipped for the younger children with lots of ride on toys. The owners were really friendly and helpful.
The location is perfect too with a nice short walk to the village or a longer one into lovely skipton.
The one thing that we think would be a good addition would be some play apparatus for the older child 9 / 13 yrs.
We will definitely be returning soon, loved it.

Fabulous meet at Riverside with some friends from oop North. Been here many times but never done a review. The toilet block has been updated and is clean and fresh. The grass was mowed so nice and spongey. Camp fires are allowed. Only 4 mins on the train to Skipton. Great stream in the village, perfect for duck racing.

I visited this site as part of a UKCS meet. I spent four nights here camped in my tent on the non EHU field. The field itself is large and spacious with great views all around. A handful of EHU pitches are available for those needing electric. The toilet block has just been painted so was nice and fresh on our arrival. There are two showers available to use for a small charge of 20p. There is a sandy play area with some play equipment and trikes for smaller children to use.
As previously mentioned, the site sits right next to a railway line. Trains passed fairly regular throughout the day and evening but this did not bother me. A short walk from the site brings you into the pretty village of Cononley. The train station is only a five minute walk from the site. We took the train daily into the market town of Skipton. Lots to see and do in the town itself. Back to Cononley, there are two pubs, a chip shop, Chinese takeaway and a post office. There is a lovely new looking play park for children also.
This is a great site to base yourself for a visit to the Yorkshire Dales. Having such a regular train service is also a bonus. I will no doubt be visiting this site again sometime in the near future and would definitely recommend it to others.
