 Lovely site, very helpful owner, came over in the dark to meet us and talk through all the amenities.

Pitches have everything you need, clean heated toilets and shower block.

Will definitely visit again

 One of the best sites we’ve stayed on. Good sized pitches, excellent pristine showers and toilets, fantastic location and very friendly owners.

The views from this site are amazing!

Only 4 miles into Settle and 12 to Skipton were you will find the best market around.

Definitely will return in the new year.

 Lovely peaceful site

Large full serviced hardstanding pitch,

Shower block underfloor heating new, modern and clean, cost a 50p for a shower but wow best I've ever been in 10 years of caravaning.

Wi-Fi free and really strong signal for streaming.

Owner friendly and helpful even helped us in the pouring rain

Will definitely be back here again ❤

 Fantastic site - large level pitches with great drainage - no issues despite heavy rain on both nights!

Beautiful setting - superb views!

Facilities were brilliant - lovely modern shower block, washing up facilities and a great dog walk.

Owner was really friendly and helpful - one of the nicest sites we’ve stayed on - will definitely stay again !

Reviewer: Rajnis 3 reviews from this member

 Positives

1. Very generous tent pitch sizes. Massive for tent and car

2. Picnic tables for every tent pitch.

3. Decent free wi-fi. I lost wi-fi connection a few times, but better than nothing

4. Very well maintained and clean toilets and showers.

5. Nice location, very close to A65. Nice flat pitches.

6. The owner, Neil, asked us what we were doing and suggested us a very good walk. Followed his suggestion and had a very good time.

Suggestions

1. It wasn't very busy during our mon-fri stay. Hence the freezer was almost empty, but I do believe that during busy times the freezer will be too small for such a big site. Just a thought.

2. £18 a night for an adult and a child is not cheap. 50p for a 10 minute shower is on top.

Overall a very good experience and would recommend to anyone.

Reviewer: Robdor69 7 reviews from this member

 We were warmly welcomed by the very informative Gary who showed us all we needed.

The best thing here for my wife and I was that the pitches were a very generous size and that each of the super pitches had their own fresh water tap, grey water drainage, EHU and TV points not to mention free WiFi.

The shower block was the best we have ever experienced. Underfloor heated, beautifully built and clean with a 10 minutes of time for our 50 pence. Superb!

Whilst we were there it was lovely and quiet, only spoiled by the weather.

 Excellent site with large pitches. Very friendly staff to show you to your pitch and help at any time.

Great toilet block.

Easy access to Settle, Skipton and Kendle. 


Date of Visit: April 2019 Unit:  Tent
Nights stayed: 2 Travelling as:  Family with young children
Reviewer: Iperboreano 2 reviews from this member

 Not for someone who wants to get away from civilisation for a while.

The facilities are superb, top spec toilets and showers with quality fittings verging on luxury. Who doesn't like a great shower? 50 p for 10 minutes was fine, and if you haven't got change the helpful owners will soon sort you out.

Washing up facilities are fairly standard but well sheltered, with a lovely view over a field which on our visit was full of bleating lambs. There is an info room with tourist brochures, and a freezer for anyone to use.

The field was well drained and stone free, and it was child's play to peg the tent out.

On the other side of the lane is the farm, and the children enjoyed saying hello to the numerous horses stabled there.

Located conveniently close to the A65, the downside is being woken by traffic rumble at 6 am (I'm a light sleeper), instead of just birdsong.

There are clear views in all directions, equally the site is moderately exposed to wind from anywhere.

A boon for most, I found the WiFi to be too much. It was like still being at home, only sleeping on the floor with doors and windows open. It wasn't proper camping.

Nearby Austwick is a pleasant little village, in a gentle valley criss-crossed by a multitude of footpaths, giving lots of options for easy walks with children.

Overall, with nearly everyone on site hooked up to electricity, electric fires blazing and TVs on, or faces glued to handheld screens, the site was a satire on our modern addiction to electricity and connectivity.

Full marks to the kind owners for their efforts at creating a superbly comfortable glamping site, it's just not for everyone. I will try somewhere more basic next time.

Reviewer: Santos16 4 reviews from this member

 Excellent size pitches, the newly planted bushes will help with privacy

top of the range toilet and shower block, but make sure you have 50p pieces for shower ( think that this is a bit steep when paying £25 a night)

great tv signal and WiFi if needed,

no road noise and very friendly fellow campers.

Great walks in area and fantastic pub in village food fantastic.

No actual reception but the owners on the end of a phone and never far away

Reviewer: Beckybbb 1 review from this member

 Site is ok. It has its own water supply and electricity on each pitch.

On arrival, there was no one around so we had no idea where to go.

Only accepted cash, so we had to go out of our way to the nearest cash machine. Was not happy with customer service off the owner, and will not be returning.

Reviewer: Lolandmol 9 reviews from this member

 We have just stayed here for 10 nights over the Christmas period. Great value and plenty of pitch space along with own tap, grey waste, electric and aerial point. Toilet and shower block 5*star.

50p per shower giving more than enough time. Large oval track- dog walk over the road from the site. Brilliant area for walking, running & cycling. Austwick has the Game Cock Inn 1 mile away, serving good food and beers. Clapham has the New Inn Hotel.

Also the Bunkhouse which is a cafe / bar, definitely recommended before & after a long walk. If you need shopping, Settle is a 10min drive away.

Cannot fault this site and we will certainly return again in 2019. A great site in a beautiful area with very helpful and friendly owners.

Reviewer: Banda2 1 review from this member

 Great site. Lovely location. Friendly, helpful owners and top notch facilities. Stunning walking in the local area and a fantastic ‘gastro’ pub about a mile away.

We were fortunate enough to be there over New Year. We were treated to a spectacular fireworks display, courtesy of the owner. What an unexpected bonus!

We’ll be back! 


Date of Visit: August 2018 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Archie Bargee 31 reviews from this member

 A bit disconcerting to find there was no reception, but a call to the owner solved the pitch selection problem. Electric hook up and TV aerial very useful, a quiet site (apart from the kids!)

Old shower block OK and those loos acceptable, the new shower block very smart and clean when we arrived, but the showers there a little cramped. Lots of trooping to the showers that evening, so when I went to shower the next morning most of the showers were a bit dirty (it had been wet the day before) chose one, cleaned it, put in my 50p - water cold, and remained cold, we gave up, washed in the van and left early! 


Date of Visit: June 2018 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Yorci 9 reviews from this member

 I stayed here for 3 nights Mon 25- Wed 27 Jun. What a brilliant location for Settle, Malham, Whernside and surrounding area. Very peaceful and tranquil site with great views of the area. Pitches are a good size and very level.

The whole site and the facilities are immaculately clean, the shower costs 50p well worth the cost, with plenty of hot water. Plenty of fresh water outlets around the site.

It was a bit weird on arrival as there is no reception and I hadn't been given a pitch number in my booking and so I had no idea where I was pitched.

The owner was on site and made me welcome and I had a choice of a pitch anywhere. Though there is no reception, the owners are always buzzing around, and their farm is just across the road in case of any emergencies.

I thoroughly recommend this site if your thinking of visiting this area, great value for money. Nearest pub and village - Austwick is about a 15 minutes walk.

Reviewer: Kaatty 1 review from this member

 Stayed for a weekend in our tent, brilliant facilities, very picturesque location, so tranquil at all times of the day and night! Owners were very helpful upon arrival and when we needed change for the showers and logs for our fire.

Pitches were big, electric hookup on each pitch

Would highly recommend and will stay again.
