 Situated within walking distance to Bolton Abbey, a stunning part of the southern Dales.
We loved our stay at the campsite. Staff/owners were friendly and helpful and facilities superb. Even on the busy Friday night queues for toilets/showers/washing up we’re minimal. It is a very friendly and family oriented campsite and despite some larger family groups camping together, I was relieved that staff were sure that the campsite remained calm.

Visited Catgill campsite near Skipton for two nights. The camp site is excellent and has a real calmness about it. The facilities are excellent and the site is very well equipped and organised. Excellent for young families and a quick drive to Skipton. Definitely recommended - well above standard.

Absolutely fantastic site!
It’s set in the beautiful countryside next to Hesketh Farm which is fab for kids. The site has 2 big fridges and a freezer, toaster, kettle, microwave and numerous plus sockets to charge phones etc.
There’s plenty of showers and toilets. All the site is kept clean and the owners are lovely.
Skipton is a short drive away with plenty of things to do and on the practical side there’s a Tesco & B&M.
We visited Billy Bobs Ice Cream Parlour, the food is fab and so is the play area.
We’ll definitely be back again :)

This was my first time camping with my 2 young boys, what a fantastic set up it is here. The owners were so relaxed but always there to help. The boys loved toasting marshmallows on the firepit. The location was perfect for the grounds of bolton abbey, & easy to get the steam train/vintage bus to skipton. We will definitely be back!

Stayed over the bank holiday weekend and haven't been to this site before.
Negatives - We struggled to find a flat pitch so ended up on an incline next to a large group which was a mistake unfortunately! The majority of people were grouped together with 3+ tents. Sadly for us the group next door were noisy and played music way past 10. 30pm. Even after a worker from the site did the rounds asking people to be quiet.
Positives - modern facilities, indoor pot wash, communal fridges/microwave. Really good coffee sold on a morning (£2. 50) and a hot food van in the evening (didn't use it but good to have the option). Small shop on site selling necessities.
Its clearly a good site for families/groups but for us it was too busy and noisy and based on this stay we wont be in a rush to return.

We stayed a week in the campsite which is located on the hills near the Bolton Abbey. We have enjoyed our stay on the campsite. We found the showers a little bit dirty, compared to the rest of the facilities which were kept clean nicely. Due to the fact the campsite is on a hill, it might be difficult to find a 'perfect' spot for the tent.
Each morning we could buy fresh backed croissants, or chocolate croissants and/or coffee or thee for reasonable price.
If you are looking for a decent campsite in a beautiful environment this is a good choice.

This was our first time camping with my twin 8 year olds. We managed to get pitched on the top section near the cows, not realising until later that there was a ‘bottom bit’ where the stream was! We were asked to move our vehicle after pitching but there were no markers and as such we were surrounded by other tents by the time I had pitched ours, no organisation at all. I was unable to move my car and subsequently missed our reservation at the nearby Billy Bobs Ice Cream Parlour which my 2 were looking forward to.
For the next few hours we listened to bad language from the tents close by, but that only lasted until about 2am. We finally managed some sleep before our neighbours decided that Radio 4 was so great at 6am, he thought we could all listen to it.
All was not in vein readers, we did manage to use the facilities which were clean, I have to say, before everyone one else woke up and piled in. We cooked some breakfast, packed up and went home, (via BillyBobs!) 2 days early. Not enjoyable at all. I’ll take the boys camping again but this wasn’t what I expected from fellow campers. The rules of the site were poorly policed and when I left 2 days early, I wasn’t asked why.
My only recommendation is pitch early and pitch close to the showers/ water/ coffee shop and car park. The location is superb but the facilities are stretched when busy, and the size of the site could use some more localised water stands.

This was our first time camping trip with our 2 children, age 2 and 5. They were so excited about going and the weekend didn’t disappoint. We had driven round the area a few weeks prior on a day out and we felt the area offered a lot, in terms of things to do/see.
This was the school summer holidays do we knew it was going to be busy. The staff were helpful and the site was easy to get around. Although the facilities were pretty good with fridges, freezers etc they weren’t big enough for the amount of people on site in peak summer. The same goes with the shower/toilets. There are only 4 of each in the men’s block and not adequate for the size of the site. I was always up at 7 so it was quiet then, but later on it was pretty chaotic.
The coffee shed was great and again the staff were great. I just think maybe the fact the site has become so popular the facilities haven’t quite grown with it.
I think with an increase in the facilities then it would be a perfect review. Keep up the good work.

Brilliant camp site, for someone who doesn't like camping I'm going back next year and taking friends. The kids loved it.
The only thing would be a couple more fridges and another freezer as I couldn't put anything in for nearly 2 days.

Lovely site, not too big so doesn't get too busy! The only possible downside is very few pitches where not on slight slope but good enough we've stayed there twice now in last couple of months.
Good, clean facilities, nice being able to hire fire pits as a lot of camps don't allow and morning coffee and croissant shop a nice touch!
Great location, within spitting distance of Bolton Abbey which is a fantastic open space for kids to run around, paddle in river, take a walk through Strid Wood, picnic etc. Managed to spend two whole days there without kids getting bored!
No electrical hook-ups so great if you enjoy a few days off-grid (though plenty of sockets in shower blocks for charging phones etc. ).

This was my 1st attempt at camping and found the location to be excellent as a base for accessing local walks. I didn't know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. Facilities were good with clean showers and toilets however, a few more toilets wouldn't go amiss, when the site filled up, a free toilet was hard to find in the morning. The family running the site are lovely friendly people. Theres a wee shop on site with a few of the normal things you forget to take and a coffee hut that opens for breakfast selling hot pastries. A few down sides, you can't park by your pitch so you have to put everything in your tent or keep walking to the car park. The carpark is a semi rough field which after a little rain was problematic for a guy in his car that I helped push out. The car park isnt set out either so when it was full, due to a lot of people not having common sense, manoeuvring around it became problematic. Due to cars not being used to separate pitches a number of group visitors pulled tents up close and were generally a source for noise. I had to listed to other peoples music and the odd idiot paying no attention to the no noise curfew. However, the owners cant be to blame for ignorant visitors. All in all a good visit, I just happened to be unlucky with who pitched next to me! For those wanting a pint and supper in walking distance, the only place was the Devonshire Hotel about a 15min walk but its pricey and a bit clinical. There's not a local shop within walking distance either, probably a 15/20 minute drive. Access road is single lane for around a mile so keep your wits about you as it has lots of blind bends, few passing places and can get busy. For those who like to ignore your kids when on holiday and leave them on the play area, you're out of luck as there didn't appear to be one. Suited me fine as I holiday to be with my child and there's some excellent walks. Strongly recommend Malham Cove!

Had a fabulous week here in spite of changeable weather. Very quiet during week days and very busy at the weekend.
Throughout the site owners are very attentive to their guests ensuring that the plentiful toilet and washing facilities are clean and the atmosphere friendly.
The kitchen area provides several sinks and fridges and throughout our stay we never had to queue for anything. Camp fires are encouraged in the hired baskets. There are amazing views across to Simons Seat.
Lovely walks from the site.

I camped here with my son, age 8, on Friday and Saturday 8/9 of June.
The site is accessible by public transport which is a big plus for me. It's about a 15 minute walk from where the dales bus drops people off by the village shop. You do have to time it right though as the bus coverage is poor, often only 2 or 3 a day, and there are no buses at all on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
The campsite has nice views over the dales and is in easy walking distance (under a mile) of Hesketh farm park, Bolton and Embsay Steam railway, the ruins of Bolton Priory and riverside walks along the river Wharfe, including the Dales Way.
The campsite itself was very clean and well run. Despite it being right at the end of a busy half term week the showers and toilets were all clean and well maintained, even including a working hair dryer in the shower block.
There are communal fridges and freezers, with stickers provided so you can label what's yours. These are located in the washing up room, which also has a kettle and microwave.
There is a small shop in the reception area. You can buy disposable BBQs there to cook on if you haven't brought your own, you can also hire a fire pit. The fire pit comes with wood and kindling to light it.
It is possible to cook on the fire pit, but you will need to put metal grill/mesh on the top to use it for cooking as the shape of it (drum shaped with a narrow top) doesn't make it easy to place anything directly onto the fire.
This however is a plus with kids as it makes it difficult for them to get their hands in it by mistake.
The wood that came with the pit was dry, burnt well and didn't give off too much smoke. It all lit first time using a couple of fire lighters and was hot enough to cook on in about half an hour.
There is a coffee shop that opens from 7. 30am to 9. 30am for breakfast each morning. They do hot drinks, fruit juice in cartons, as well as warm pan au chocolat and croissants. Prices are good. A tea, a juice and 2 croissants were under £5.
I would definitely recommend this site, especially for people camping with kids.

Visited here with a group of friends.
First thing to point out is that it's not flat. At all. Even the flattest bits of it (and there's only a couple) are barely level. So unless you check-in at the crack of dawn on a quiet weekend you'll be pitched on a hill.
There's only 4 toilets and 4 showers for each sex for the whole campsite. For the first time ever camping I had to queue for a toilet!
There's also no water points in the field so it's a decent uphill hike to fill any pans.
On the upside the facilities were clean, there's a couple of fridge freezers free to us and a microwave and kettle.
The kids loved the stream that ran through the site and lots of them seemed to play there.
Good location, short walk to Bolton Abbey which was great.
Local shop is a gift shop and camp site sells bare minimum so you'll need to travel for supplies.
Overall I'd say it was very expensive to camp (£70 for a family of four for two nights) and it's really only got the location to recommend it.

First time camping with my friend and also at catgill. We went 23/09/17 to 25/09/17 and it was perfect. Thought with it not been school holidays it would be perfect time to go and it was! Not too busy at all it was great. And sunday night there was only 3 other tents in are field as most people only came till sunday. They had two fields to choose from we went for smaller one behind the farm buildings and the best thing was you could just drive in and pick a place you want and set up, no hassle, no order and no camping right next to others it was great. We choose the corner at the top, great views and not too far from toilet block. Got a fab warm and funny welcoming from ken on arrival, absolute heart of gold owner who made us laugh with his humour everytime we bumped into him, amazing gentleman made us feel welcome from word go.
They had an area to wash up, which also had a kettle/microwave and a fridge freezer you can use at any time. The toilet block was very spacious and clean and they had plug sockets in that came in handy to charge are phones and my friend could use her straighteners.
I would definitely visit again as its great value for money and a great location and the family who own it are so lovely and welcoming. Thank you again for a perfect weekend, and hopefully see you again next year
