 Stayed for 3 nights (28-31 May) - me, my husband and two children aged 15 and 11. It was very busy (half term school hols) - which was to be expected, as all other sites we'd tried had no vacancies for tourer / EHU for those dates.
The reviews were spot-on and we had only one complaint in that by the time we got up and sorted for the showers, no hot water left! Otherwise we had no complaints. Site clean, staff friendly and helpful.
The site 'shop' soon ran out of provisions due to the heavy demand, so we had to drive into Settle to pick up bread, bacon etc from the local Sainsburys (as I'd unfortunately left our supplies at home all packed up and ready - but still in the freezer! Doh!).
We would highly recommend the food at The Royal Oak pub in Settle. Spot on! All home made and their steak and kidney pie (my choice) was superb. We popped up to Ackenthwaite, Milnthorpe to visit family on the Saturday and as we only spent 3 nights couldn't speak for anywhere else, food wise.
All other positive points are covered in previous reviews, so won't bore you with any repeats. All in all a wonderful relaxing few days. Would definitely visit again.

We camped here on the last weekend of May, 2 adults & 2 children.
First the good news - the campsite is in a beautiful location (though very near a main road); the pitches are large & it doesn't feel cramped at all, it is all fairly easy going & friendly. And you can freeze your freezer blocks for free!
The bad news - there is a 'quiet policy' after 11pm BUT this is not enforced. Both nights, an enormous group near us were up till the small hours laughing, drinking and playing music - not much fun. There are only 10 toilet/shower cubicles for the whole site so the queues were long at peak times - they are basic, & no hot water for the showers; there is a separate toilet only in a portacabin - no toilet paper in it, & queues to use that too.

Just returned after spending the bank holiday weekend on the site (3 nights). On arrival the owners were very friendly giving us the option of 2 different pitches.
The site is a bit secluded and not a lot to keep the kids busy. (3 kids under 10).
The toilets and showers where good and I liked the individual set up of a shower and toilet in your own personal space, they did get busy early morning and queuing was found.
The bar on site was very expensive, all bottles £2.80! and it shut at 10pm. There is a good pub directly across the road in the village though.
Overall the site itself was excellent, the only downside was the high prices in the bar and the site shop.

Just returned from a three night stay at this site. It was a very busy weekend but plenty of room to pitch your tent. Following previous reviews there are now ten toilet / shower rooms which are kept clean (well as clean as they can be on such a busy weekend). The only downside is the lack of hot water (which is obviously going to run out at some time). I found it was usually hot around tea time.
There is bar on site but it smells quite feisty and last orders is at 10!
All in all I would say this is an excellent site and a very good base for you to explore the wonderful sights close by. I would recommend to anyone and hopefully we will be going back at the end of June.

This was a quiet site midweek in March, with only one other tent on site, and a couple of caravans. This meant there was plenty of space, and of course no queues for the facilities, which were clean, and pleasant. There were 4 individual shower-room / toilets, and these were perfectly fine.
The site overall was very good, and the staff friendly. The only thing I would say is that if this site was full, it would be too crowded for my liking.The prices were very reasonable, and the nearby scenery stunning. This site is ideal for basing a visit to the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.
I shall probably be visiting this site again.

This a small but friendly site just off the A65 ideal for those wanting to walk in the local area. The site is basic, with a shop and toilet and shower blocks, a limited number of electric pitches are available.
The biggest down side to our stay is that we were there at the same time as a large Duke of Edinburgh Award group, who were noisy on the first night. Also the site could have done with opening more toilet facilities as the three toilet come showers that were in operation were in constant use and became very dirty in the wet and mud.
This is in general a peaceful site with good views, very friendly and helpful staff it would make a nice base for doing things in the local area. The Game Cock in the local village of Austwick does very good food and has a traditional country pub feel.

This was not our first choice site when we wanted to visit Settle as all the others were fully booked that weekend.However we were not disappointed with the site and found the staff to be very helpful and friendly.
The shower and toilet areas are a little on the basic side but were kept clean even with the large number of people on site. Expect a bit of a wait if the site is busy though.
The shop site is basic but is handy if you run out of milk etc.
There is a pub on site and we found it very handy for a quiet drink in the evening if you did not fancy the walk into Austwick and it is also dog friendly.
If you prefer a stroll before having a pint, there is a lovely walk just on the other side of the A65 and up a country lane into Austwick to the Gamecock pub. It will take you about ten to fifteen minutes to walk it.
The surrounding area is beautiful and this site is in a great location for those who want to explore nearby places of interest.
Enjoyed our two night stay here and would use the site again.

Very friendly and helpful. Good location for walking & other local attractions. I stayed on Jan 2nd, very cold but bright & sunny. The bathroom & wash up blocks are clean & well maintained. They have underfloor heating (what a treat).
This site must get busy in the peak season, but if like me you prefer 'off peak' this is never a problem. I didn't visit the on site bar preferring a walk to the village of Austwick just across the road.
The site has a shop and the owners provided me with an O/S map of the area.I hope to go back in March when it may be a little warmer.

This was a great place to spend New Year. Really friendly welcome, cosy little plot for the campervan with hook up and good field and nearby track for energetic border collie.
Best things: being loaned a radiator by the very friendly staff, which made a freezing new years eve really quite cosy in the end. And the hot shower option in the morning.
Toilets and showers were well looked after and easily accessible. Good recycling facilities.
The staff were all great, and the site was well looked after. Definitely recommend this site and will definitely revisit.

Certainly a popular campsite, and it is advisable to arrive early to ensure a less cramped pitch. Great location for all outdoor activities. We visited Ingleton, and had a good local walk. Facilities were average, shop well stocked. Certainly worth visiting again as a base for the Northern Dales.

Well, we had a very wet weekend here, probably the wettest weekend so far this year, but the place was full to capacity. I had read reviews about this site after booking and was kinda nervous of what to expects, toilets etc. But actually I was quite pleased with what was there, I never once had to queue to use the toilet, the loo's weren't exactly top of the range but they served the purpose to which they were meant for, it was only 1st thing in the morning when the bins needed emptying that they were less than perfect.
The staff onsite were extremely friendly and helpful. The surrounding area was beautiful. We called to the 'infamous' Gamecock inn but were disappointed at how small the bar area was so decided to go into Giggleswick and found a delightful place called The Harts Head, the food was delicious and again the staff were really friendly.
Overall I cannot complain about our weekend break here at all, I would definitely go again.

We stopped here for our first camping trip and were not disappointed. The field was flat and well drained and was not overcrowded. The toilet, shower and washing up facilities were clean and were kept clean throughout our 2 night stay. There was a large area in the middle for children to play under supervision.
The walk into Austwick was not far, although you do have to cross a busy road. Walking around the area was excellent with lots of marked paths. The pub in Austwick served lovely bar snacks although there is also a snack bar opposite the site. Recommended and will definitely visit again.

We love the countryside round Settle so tried all the sites in the area and found all were full except Dalesbridge. After being at the site for 2 days I can understand why.
The site could not be easier to find. It was well signposted off the A65 near Austwick and we were impressed with the look of the site from outside. It was only when we booked in did we find out that there were just 2 fields and no hardstanding. (when booking we were told there was HS) The views were wonderful and staff helpful and friendly but the facilities were very basic. All the other reviews talk about the standard of the toilets and wash facilities and I agree 100% with the previous writers on this issue. Im just glad we had our own facilities on the MH cos I would not have wanted to use the ones provided.

We stayed at Dalesbridge on the windy weekend of 20th and 21st June. Booking in we were greeted by a cheerful chap who explained the layout of the site fine and gave us directions to the pitch. We requested a Hook up and all the pitches were tagged with the name of the family. Very efficient.
The site is very flat and seems well drained. Plenty of water points for filling up with good pressure too. The hook ups were all close to the pitches. We had no issues with out tent size (diablo 900).
We were put in the 'group' field which was also reserved for 3 larger groups. However the field was easily big enough for all of us with no issues.
Setting is very nice with good views.
There is not the much to do for the kids however, no river to play near or a park.
The Toilets were not really up to much. Hot water was scarce for washing up in the mornings, the female wc's were alive with spiders and cobwebs which put my youngest daughter off. I would have thought it dosent really take much to give them the once over every week.
All in all a nice site but not one I would return to with children.

This was great value for money site. Very close to the main road so good for transport but little noisy. Functional and tidy apart from grass in the toilet blocks. Quite good on the whole despite the lack of heart and soul. P. S. Take your own toilet roll.
