 We stayed for two nights at this beautiful site by the stream, perfect for exploring Malham and its surrounding hills. The site is well spread out and didn't feel busy even though it was full!
The toilet block / washing up facilities were always clean and there was plenty of hot water.
There are no shops near by so buy everything on your way in if you’re not staying for long like we did. The centre of Malham is a fifteen minute walk through Janet’s Foss to the pubs and tea rooms.
We will definitely be returning.

We loved this site - the facilities are very basic but fine - showers are 10p so you get what you pay for really!
The location is out of this world - truly a beautiful part of the country.
Our kids loved splashing in the stream that runs through the site catching fish and we could sit with a cup of tea and watch them so we were happy.
The payment is rather strange - £3 each for car, caravan, each adult, £1.50 for the kids so didn't work out all that cheap given the facilities but we would still return for the amazing location.

We have just spent a lovely one night on this site with glorious weather too with our family plus my parents!
Beautiful location and scenery out of this world, the atmosphere on site was really laid back and friendly. The children loved the stream rescuing fish as the stream was very low! And the neighbouring sheep and rabbits caused much excitement!
The facilities however were horrible and possibly haven't been cleaned for who knows how long with junk just piled everywhere. This didn't detract from our enjoyment however and we will return, just a shame a good bleaching hasnt been applied to make the facilities at least clean and basic!
Our advice - take a bucket and if your there for 1+ nights you may have to brave the shower but it looks like it may be best avoided. Lee showered there and said it was nice and hot if anything !
We will definitely be returning for the entertaining owner and his eccentric ways and the lovely views!

Beautiful place. Campsite has very basic facilities, toilets, shower (10p) pot washing facilities, untidy and lots of junk about but the camping ground more than makes up for this.
Field is clean, well looked after and litter free and the scenery is out of this world, short walk to waterfall where you can climb up and do the walk to Malham Tarn / Malham cove.
We have been several times and would go again. Lovely place, atmosphere brill! Nice friendly cafe and pub and shops in Malham. Well worth a visit or two!

We had a wonderful stay at Gordale Scar.
The campsite is in a beautiful location and the view from our tent was wonderful.
The campsite has plenty of hot water and an indoor area for washing up. The toilets are basic but clean. Exactly as you would expect from a campsite charging £3 per tent.
The owner was extremely friendly and helpful.
We will be going back!

Fabulous location!
If you don't mind basic facilities and a scruffy 'amenities' block, this is a great site. The scenery is stunning and there is plenty of space to spread out.
Access to Gordale, Malham Tarn and the village of Malham are great. The walk into the village (2 great pubs) via Janet's Fosse is the recommended route which avoids the narrow and relatively steep hill but takes in some great scenery.
Our only 'grievance' was the noise created by one DOE group - talking until 1 in the morning and then up at 6 o'clock. It could have been due to the cold (plus 1C) but the place is so quiet that sounds carry.

Wow, what a fantastic place, so very beautiful and the campsite is so clean. The scenery is breathtaking and the little river running through the camp is just great. The toilets, well, pity they aren't as clean as the campsite, and the feller who runs it is quite a character, I need to be polite so you make up your own mind. We found a place where you can walk to the shops. It's a bit further down the road and you go through a little gate, then you come across this absolutely stunning place, like a magical glen of some sort. It's like a secret waterfall, and the water is great for a quick dip. Very long walk though but no real shops to speak of, but worth it just to see the scenery.

We found this site by pure chance, as we have two dogs we decided that this was the campsite for us. Found the owner very helpful would have been stuck for a cuppa if he did not collect other peoples rubbish.
Amenities are what you expect, don't change. Going again in June weather permitting. Can't wait for some peace and quiet, dogs will love it too, all the long walks and best of all they can lay in the river afterwards to cool down (great)

The water fall was great and the sheep where walking all over the place which was cool. There where plenty of rabbits running about!there where not any playground but plenty off space to play. The river was good and I spent plenty of time in the river with my sister catching fish. The toilets are not the cleanest and there was only one shower for everyone to share. There where two sinks and a fresh water tap outside the toilets. Plenty of wildlife. And a great walk to the pub.
I have been there plenty of times and I would definitely go again.

I have been camping here since I was 9 years old I love the place, its basic and well out of the way. Best time to go is out of school holidays and during the week as weekends do get a bit crowded with Duke of Edingborough. Village shop opens rarely but the old guy is nice, there are 2 pubs some might say a bit expensive on food but the beer is good as I am a north yorkshire man I have to say this place is great errr no I tell the truth and Malham and Gordale scar camp site have to be my ultimate getaway. Thanks Malcome (site owner) for years of relaxation and the chance to get away from humanity.

Fantastic location, amazing views possibly the best location in the UK.
Ruined by the dreadful state of the toilet and dish washing facilities. The gent's toilets were an absolute disgrace, I they had not been cleaned in months or painted in years. They were covered in mildew and filth. I doubt if the toilet bowls ever saw toilet cleaner or bleach! Words fail to describe how dirty the shower room was and the washing up room an insanitary midden. My son was frightened to go into the gent's and refused to wash for four days. I spoke to several other campers who were very “disappointed”.

We stayed for one night at the site during July (for our eldest daughters birthday). There were 5 of us 2 adults and 3 kids (14, 12 and 4).
This site is not for those who love all the mod cons as frankly there arent any!
But the location and scenery are to die for. We really liked the site.Ok so the toilets arent exactly the Ritz and there isnt really a shower to speak of (not one we'd choose to use anyway), but its cheap and cheerful and as already mentioned the scenery is well worth the visit.
Gordale Scar is a few mintues walk and you can walk into Malham which is approx 1-2 miles away.
We would definitely visit again but only for one night due to the lack of showers.

We booked a week before our stay but it had rained quite a lot.On arrival the site was quite waterlogged and we had difficulty finding a pitch,we pitched on the far side of the beck carrying everything over the makeshift bridge. The toilets,washing up area and showers were I thought disgusting and never cleaned while we[myself and two adult sons ]were there.The water,one tap,was brown and very off putting.There were as others described lots of mounds of old bbq foils,air beds, chairs, gas cylinders and anything else people had left behind. The waterfalls and views were excellent

Just got home from a 2 night stay at this wonderful location. The location is stunning. We had the luxury of being next to the beck running through the campsite which was great for me and the children as we went for a paddle. Facilities well not exactly what I expected very basic which you would expect but the 'recycling' by the owner makes the facilities unpleasant. I was the only member of our group to use the shower. Sadly there is nowhere to have a private wash which would be good as only 1 shower.Cost wise wasn't to bad it was £3per item little confusing at first £3 per adult, car, tent and then we got charged £1 for 2 of our children and nothing for the youngest so it was £14per night for us not bad for a holiday really. Would go back to this site as the wonderful location beats the problems with the facilities.

This was our first camping trip for many years, and a truely enjoyable one it was. The site is great for exploring Gordale Scar and Janet's Foss Waterfalls. Did not use the shower but the toilets were kept clean although somewhat cluttered. The farmer was very accommodating and helpful. He showed us where to pitch our tent and then left us to it. He was more than helpful when I asked if it would be possible to reserve a pitch at the side of ours for the next day, and even placed a reserve sticker on the pitch.
This is a very busy site and in peak times you can expect to fall out of you door almost right into another one. Also a lot of children playing close to your accommodation which did not bother us. But could put some people of so be warned, also a lot of walkers passing through the site as the waterfall is at the far end of the site. Again this did not cause us any disturbance at all. There is a nice little coffee and tea van just outside the site so you can get a drink and a bite to eat after visiting the splendid sights of both waterfalls
Would go back again if in this area.
