First visit to the Boroughbridge site for a long weekend with friends. A great, well landscaped site, one of the nicest I have been to in ten years caravanning. The wardens are great, really friendly, courteous and helpful. We were given a flat and level concrete hardstanding, and guided onto the pitch in the dark by the warden, a nice touch. The site has a spotless shower block, complete with all usual facilities such as laundry room and dishwashing area, all inside and warm. There is an extensive dog walk, including a large completely fenced in field where the dogs can run around off the lead. Very good. We saw the playground whilst walking round, looked very good. Boroughbridge is very close, and is a great place. Parking on the central car park is free and unlimited. Some nice small shops, tea rooms, butchers and a handy bike shop. We had a meal at the crown hotel, which was fantastic quality and value. All in the party had a great time, and we will be making a return visit to see more of the local area.
As already stated, very friendly wardens, spotless toilets, generally pleasant. When we were there, the shop sold one or two essentials such as milk, which was useful. Initially aware of noise from motorway, but adjusted to it!
Boroughbridge is lovely, historic town with all essentials including local bakers (good pies!), butchers and even a small bike shop, which does repairs! The Black Bull sold good beer at good prices and made us very welcome.
Some local riverside/village walks- leaflets available at campsite for 20p. (Also had good range of attraction leaflets etc). Pleasant countryside- plenty of villages to explore by bike- hardly any traffic on country lanes and not many hills!
All in all, enjoyed stay. Will return. Worth noting - campsite open all year.
Just returned from Boroughbridge and we were very impressed. Some of the areas looked a bit full - but we went without EHU and were positioned in the field to the left with loads of room each.
The facilities are excellent, very clean, and loads of them - best I have ever experienced. Plus our son seemed to enjoy the playground, where he spent all his time. It also proved a great location for Knaresborough and Harrogate.
Only negatives are the risk of flooding as it is ona flood plain next to the river - and some of the winds that run acros the plain became a bit strong - but both these are minor.
The wardens/staff were very polite and helpful - and overall couldn't ask for anything more.
It was a lovely flat green site with the bonus of the river right on its doorstep. The facilities were immaculate and warm and during the week the site was quite quiet - although over the week we never had to queue for a shower and often had them to ourselves. At the weekend it was busy but we did not find that the units were squeezed in too much.
The play area was basic but our children were quite happy with it and it was not overly busy as many of the caravan units were just couples not families. Morrisons is only a couple of minutes away which meant that we were not bothered by the lack of a well-stocked shop.
We visited Fountains Abbey, Beningbrough Hall, Brimham Rocks (superb for climbing even with little ones - you could spend a whole day there), Ripon, Mother Shipton's Cave and Knaresborough, Harlow Carr Gardens and Valley Gardens in Harrogate all of which we would recommend.
On the Friday we took our 3 and 6 year olds to Lightwater Valley which they really enjoyed (their first theme park) and it was really quite empty with little queuing. We were a little disappointed with Newby Hall who charge extra for their miniature railway and are quite pricey at thirty pounds for a family garden ticket. Picnics were welcome everywhere.
Overall we would thoroughly recommend this exemplary site with the added benefit of lots to do within easy reach. We were not bothered by very distant road noise or the noisier factories close by.
If you are taking a family you might want to take some of those cheap fishing nets - another family took my girls fishing and they caught a few small fish which they then threw back in.
This was our first visit to a camping and caravan club site, we chose Boroughbridge as we was fairly close by for a run out in our new cararvan. The wardens were friendly, and we had never been directed into a pitch before, it was a nice touch.
The facilities were spotless, and all housed together. A fair sized dog walk, our collie loved it!
However I was disappointed with my C&CC experience, not because of the site itself, but it didn't seem as friendly as CC sites or other private sites we have been on.
I was aware of the road noise through the night, but I wouldn't be put off by this.
We had a trip into Harrogate, and with that a visit to Betty's only for some cakes to take out. It is certainly something everyone should experience at least once! Sadly your pocket and your waistline could not afford you to do it more often than that!
A lovely indian restaurant in Boroughbridge, the food was excellent.
All in all a good little site with excellent facilities.
Set in the midst of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, a family run farm with a stream meandering through the site and breathtaking views, with plenty to do nearby. Tent and campervan pitches with or without electric. Five star shower block with showers, washbasins, toilets, disabled and family room. Sinks for pot washing, a kettle and microwave, charge points, communal fridge freezers. Fire pits are available to hire. Wifi
A small shop sells essentials and an on-site cafe serves delicious food and drinks! Freshly brewed coffee, sausage sandwiches, or warm pastries, in the evening, enjoy stone-baked pizzas. Luxury timber pods and two magical bell tents with private hot tubs are also available to hire. Don't forget to meet their friendly family of alpacas! And all within five minutes of Bolton Abbey and Hesketh Farm Park Find out more here
A lovely site. Immaculate facilities. Well spaced pitches and 6 metre rule was enforced by warden! No shop on site but Morrisons within 10 minutes drive. Only gripe (which has been mentioned previously) was the kids running round the van.
Just watch the entry into the site and when leaving as there is a risk of grounding- take it slow! Loved the site, already booked for New Year!
On arrival we were dealt with quickly, and given a choice of where to pitch with consideration to our needs. Perfect. The pitches are level, well looked after, drained well and are very spacious, some bigger than others though. The hard standings I noticed, were concrete with grass, very spacious, level, and dotted around the site, not isolated in 1 specific area.
There are 4 areas to pitch, 1/A HUGE meadow with no electric (quite a walk to the facilities), 2/ A mix of hard standing and grass with electric (with the gravel road running around it), 3/ A grassed area with electric and non electric (next to the children's play area), 4/ A mix of hard standing and grass pitches with electric (again a fair way from facilities, and with a gravel road running around it). There is only the 1 block of facilities, and for a site of this size I thought was a bit inadequate.
The River Ure that runs alongside the site has moorings for £4.40 per day and fishing permits per day/week, we took our inflatable with electric motor and had a ball bobbing up and down the river.
The only downsides to this site is the occasional smell & noise, from the dairy farm and industrial estate close by and noise from the A1/M1 (but you stop noticing that after a while). Also, there is only a very basic area for walking dogs and not much else in the surrounding area dog walk wise.
Boroughbridge is a delightful town with a Morrisons and range of pubs and restaurants, The Crown Hotel, Boroughbridge, do an absolutely fantastic 3 course Sunday Lunch for £12.50, the roast beef was outstanding ! We love Yorkshire and there is a wealth of things to do in the area, which is why we will definitely make this site one of our regular haunts. Loved it !
Good clean site, well maintained showers and toilet block at site entrance. No basic provisions for sale in the reception shop which would have been useful. Plenty of local shops in nearby Boroughbridge and a Morrisons supermarket.
The only 2 bad points worth mentioning was the lack of lighting on a night on the approaches to the toilet block and the distance of some units from electric hook up points leaving long lengths of cable trailing across the grass.
First time on this site, very modern and clean toilet and shower block, one of the best if not the best I have seen. Which for me is all you need when stopping over for one night.
Warden's very friendly, showed use to the pitch and made a point of getting the van on level ground.
I would say the site was half full being mid week, very quite and friendly Atmosphere.
Fifteen minute walk in to the town, called at a couple of the pubs and found them to be very friendly.
No problem what so ever with any noise from the A1 traffic, if I have on gripe, the pitch was a fair walk to the toilet block. But hey it was dry and sunny and I need the exercise.
All ready planning the next trip when we will use it as a base when touring around the dales.
In the heart of Wharfedale, this beautiful site is terraced to give amazing views over spectacular countryside. Hardstanding pitches for caravans and motorhomes and grass pitches for tents, with optional electric hookup. Toast marshmallows around the fire pit! Come and say hello to their family of friendly resident alpacas.
Hot showers, toilets, laundry, washing up. Wifi, dog washing facilities and bike cleaning facilities. Large woodland area where kids can explore for hours. Small shop and morning coffee shop for barista made coffee, fresh pastries and hot chocolate. There are also luxury timber lodges with private patio, wood fired hot tub, fire pit with pizza oven and a picnic table. The perfect base for exploring the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales.

The site was lovely and immaculately clean and tidy and our children 3 and 1 years old loved the freedom in the camping field.
We pitched just on the river banks which was beautiful and great excitement came for our children when the boats came by.
The toilet block was fantastic, clean warm and well stocked and the family bathroom we used (£5 deposit charged for this) was great with a large shower and a baby changing unit with bath sunken in which fit both the kids in comfortably.
The only gripe we had was the charge for freezing of ice packs at 50p per pack per time we thought this was a little steep and not proportionate at all and would add to the cost if you had a long stay here.
The staff were helpful and very friendly and worked non stop to keep the site well maintained. The shop was poor selling only soft drinks and ice creams so a few more provisions from there would have been a bonus.
The motorway in the distance can be heard but wasn't a problem the nearby factory created more noise but nothing that would put us off returning to what we found to be a truly lovely site!
Locally we visited Knaresborough and Boroughbridge which were both lovely although a bit soggy in the rain!
Just returned from this site and it was great. The staff were very helpful, the toilets and showers were immaculate. Playground consists of 2 swings (1 normal and 1 baby) and a V shaped log climbing frame with slide attached. Our children (aged 5) seemed happy with it.
One thing I did notice was that all the guests were so friendly, everybody spoke in passing and made it feel a safe place to stay. Its close to the A1 so no challenging roads to go down with the caravan.
We had a steady walk to Boroughbridge which took 20 mins, there's a few shops, post office, fishing shop, spar, amongst others.There is a morrisons nearby but its a car journey (especially if your buying heavy things).
Turning the other way out of the site was roecliffe, which looked to be a lovely village. We called in at the pub, which seemed busy with locals and the food looked fab, I didn't look at the prices but it had a feel it wouldn't be cheap.
The fish and chip van calls on a thursday and saturday at 4.30pm (he drives round the site tooting his horn to let you know he's arrived)before parking up near reception.
There's fishing on site in the river, you buy permits from reception.
Overall a great site which I would return to at some point in the future.
Lovely site overlooking the river. We requested a non hook up pitch so we were in the far field, massive field and the added bonus was that there were only about five other tents/campers on this field. The staff were helpful and friendly. The site is little more expensive than others we have visited but this is due to it been a Caravan Club site - I believe. The only negative points are the A1 quite nearby, not a massive issue. There is also a dairy across the road which can be quite noisy at points during the early hours. Borough Bridge is walking distance but much of it is on a busy road. The fish and chip van that visits the site is great, very useful and the staff are lovely and very organised with the orders. The only thing I would say if you are not a dog lover probably not the place for you. All dogs are meant to be on a lead at all times and there is a specific dog walking area, but not everyone adheres to the rules.
What a great site, friendly helpful wardens, site kept very well. Short walking distance of the town well worth the walk out has lots of nice shops, pubs and tearooms.
Also added bonus fish and chip van visits Thursday and Saturday great freshly cook fish and chips well worth having. The shop also sells ice creams all in all a great little site. The whole site is kept very clean to a high standard.
