 A really great site! Very near the lovely village, with lots of good eating places and pubs and good shops to supply meat, bread and groceries. Lovely walks by the River Ure and surrounding countryside.
Very friendly people run the site - nothing is too much trouble - also very clean and good showers and loos.
Very nice cafe on site too. A real winner!

We spent the Easter break here, and despite the weather we had a great time.
A small family run site, we were greeted by the owners who were very helpful.
The shower/toilet block was clean, and modern, and although there were only 3 showers and 3 toilets (in the ladies) there never seemed to be a queue despite the site being full.
A shop and cafe are on site and the food was very good.
The weather was wet, and this meant, being on grass we were forever swamped in mud, which was a shame,(perhaps gravel would be a good idea?)
The village of Masham is picturesque, and being just a few minutes away from the campsite, ideally situated.
We had meals in the Bay Horse(which is dog friendly),serving good home cooked food- and proper chips!
The Black Sheep brewery is well worth a visit, the tour guide was entertaining!
There is lots to see and do in the surrounding areas, its a great base for the beautiful countryside of Yorkshire.

This was our first visit to this site, and we really enjoyed it. The site owners were very friendly and helpful, as were the locals in the village. Only a short walk into the village, and there is a footpath all the way, so you don't have to dodge the traffic.
There are a good selection of pubs and eating places in the village, but if you don't fancy the walk, there is the on site cafe. The village has a good small bakery which usually closes mid afternoon. There is also a Co-op Store in the village as well as newsagents and all the usual small businesses. We found the 2 brewery visits a tad expensive. Will visit this site again, but not the breweries.

Gem of a site wardens could not do enough for you showers very clean loads of hot water.Not much for kids to do nice chill out site. Nice little cafe on site pitches flat and level with good views. Masham short walk away. Surrounding area very nice plenty of walks. Masham nice little town with two great brewerys theakstons and black sheep so beer spot on. Only gripes t.V reception very poor and no golf for me due to ladies day. Be back in may.

We stayed at this site for a long weekend with friends comprising six adults and one baby in a combination of two camper vans and one touring caravan. The site staff were particularly friendly and helpful and made our stay extremely enjoyable.
The toilet block is very well presented and kept very clean whilst the showers provide plenty of hot water.
One of the highlights was the on site restaurant which provided a wide range of excellent home-cooked food of restaurant quality. It also proved to be particularly popular with the locals which can only be taken as a good sign. A pleasant 10 minute walk into Masham meant we were able to abandon the car for the period of our stay and sample the local brew.
With regard to the Black Sheep brewery, we found it a bit expensive for what it was, the restaurant was more expensive and not so good as the one on the camp site and the gift shop seemd pricey selling branded goods at inflated prices. The brewery tour is okay (at £4.50 per head) if you haven't done a brewery tour before, but, to be honest, once you've seen one stainless steel vat and some pipework, you've seen them all. Still, the tour guide was entertaining and at least there's a 'free' half pint at the end of the tour.
Would definitely recommend this friendly family run campsite, especially at this time of year (November) when it provides a hearty meal in cosy surroundings and you don't have to compete with the usual coach parties of tourists that are around in the summer.

We stayed at the old station in Masham in what must of been the wettest part of august 2009. We were pitched right at the back of the campsite under the trees and although it was sheltered it didn't give the tent or the ground much chance to dry out in the brief moments of sunshine and there was continuous drips of rain and sap off the trees onto the tent. My daughter enjoyed running around but there wasn't a lot of space for her to do so. The day after we arrived however the tent next to us packed up and left so we were able to allow her to play next to the tent.
The facilities are in easy reach of everyone on the site and compromise of male and female showers and toilets and a pot wash and laundry room. The toilets were kept very clean and tidy and the showers were nice and warm morning and right. The pot wash room however was very small and it was difficult to get in at times because there was two sinks, the washing machine and tumble dryer with only a small gap in between so it was quite busy. The little shop sold a few basics and the restaurant/cafe seemed popular although we never ate there.
All in all a nice little site however was disappointed to read on the FAQ part of their website they no longer accept large tents so unfortunately we wont be visiting again.

This was my first camping trip and it was very pleasant.
Despite a very wet few weeks up until our visit when we arrived the sun was out and our pitch was extremely dry! The space we were allocated was quite central, but even when the campsite filled up (which it did considerably over the course of the day) it was still lovely and quiet.
It is not a huge site, but plenty of things going on close by and the small town of Masham is only a few minutes away.
The toilets and showers were immaculate and even when the site was full there was no queues for the facilities as there are ample for the size of the site.
The bins are also emptied extremely regularly, with staff always checking to make sure that they are emptied.
The on site cafe/restaurant was lovely. If staying on a weekend I would suggest that you book to eat out if you wanted to eat in Masham as we struggled to find anywhere. Nevertheless the on site restaurant provided us, on both nights with a superb meal. Both the food and the service was excellent and of a very high standard. It is not a licensed facility but they do allow you to take your own alcohol and they do not charge corkage.
A trip would be well worth to Jervaulx Abbey, about 7 miles away where there is a lovely circular walk starting from there.
Also the Forbidden Corner at Middleham was a fantastic day out! You must book before you arrive (you can do this online or by telephone). Definitely a worthwhile trip, I had been previously about 3 times & even this trip (my boyfriends first time there) was equally as enjoyable for us both.
I would 100% recommend the site to anyone, we had a lovely weekend and was thoroughly impressed by the site, the service and the facilities.
Perfectly situated to the main roads, but the heart of the dales is only a short drive away.
Thank you for a lovely stay.

Visited this site within 6 weeks of our first visit. Lovely site and very clean. Good facilities and easy walk into Masham. Only negative points are no dogs allowed in restaurant but are allowed on site? ( can not leave my dog in tent whilst going for something to eat ). Also, I ended up with 30+ bent tent pegs due to the rocky ground. Take plenty of spares. Will use this site again and have already recommended it to others.

We visited in late September 2009. This was the 'sheep fair' weekend!
The tent pitch area has very rocky ground so bent pegs are almost a given. It's also right at the back of the site in an area surrounded by high tree covered bankings, so the sun was only really visible for about 3 hours a day (at this time of year, when you want to see as much sun as possible). At the top of one of these bankings was an disused railway bridge which some of the visiting children took to throwing stones from until chastised by the warden.
The pitches were also quite small, we really struggled to fit our Outwell Nebraska XL between the lines. Tent owners were not able to park cars next to the tents.
We have 3 children ( 9, 6 and 3) who were not allowed to visit the toilet block unaccompanied, fair enough for the 3 year old but the other 2 are perfectly capable of simple ablutionary tasks. They are also not allowed to ride their bikes, play football, etc. This on a site with no other form of play activity for kids. All these rules are plain to see on the many signs dotted around the site. However, the AA camping and caravanning guide (2009) clearly states 'no fast cycling around site'. As our kids are still small we took the bikes, after all, how fast can a small child go? As it turns out, not very!
We didn't visit the restaurant as it seemed very expensive and the children's menu was not on view.
We had a pitch with EHU which was paid for in advance and operated by a card. This kept on cutting out on us.
On the plus side, the site was very clean and the toilet block and showers were well maintained, no shortage of hot water and loo rolls. The washing up area is adequate for the purpose if a little on the 'snug' side.
Another plus point is the time of year we went, ie the Masham sheep fair. There's loads to do and keep everyone entertained for at least one whole day. All 3 of our kids had a great day, the dog was in his element and real ale is ok once a year. Worth visiting and we will go back to Masham again but not to the Old Station.
I don't want to be too harsh on the place but just to say it as we found it, this is probably a good campsite if you don't have kids.

Just returned from this site after bank holiday weekend. Nice easy check in on arrival with clear directions to our pitch. On arrival to our pitch it was very difficult to reverse the caravan onto the pitch due to how close the tents were pitched opposite. The pitch was clearly marked out with a white line however once we put the porch awning up there was no room to park the car! The caravan behind us was literally back to back with us so any noise from either caravan could clearly be heard.
As mentioned previously the smell is awful certainly unable to sit out on our very small area of grass to eat. Positive side in a lovely position to walk into Masham, which has plenty of pubs a lovely places to eat and a selection of shops. There is also a lovely walk as you walk in which was very helpful as the site has nowhere for dogs to be exercised.
Toilets were lovely and clean showers were a little small everything gets wet. Always kept clean. Cafe is done out lovely with a good selection available but could be very costly for a family to eat out.

Booked in this site at last minute after camping somewhere else for 4 nights and deciding to extend our break.
Was recommended this site by my parents who have stayed here with the caravan.
Really good, quick check in.
No problem with the pitch, nice and level, not too boggy considering there had been quite a bit of rain.
The only problems we had were caused by our neighbours pitching too close to our tent and foul language and noise.This is not the fault of the site though!
The toilets are nice and clean but it is a bit of a faff to have a shower as there is nowhere for your bag to go and nothing to sit on to dry your feet.
There is also a nasty smell from the septic tank which did put us off, but it was very hot and sunny which will have made the smell worse!
We didn't use the cafe on site as it always appeared closed although on the day we left there was a big sign on the road side saying 'cafe open'
Masham is only a 10 minute walk away and there are plenty of pubs to choose from, the black sheep brewery is lovely and has excellent food but appears to only open through the day.
Loads to do in the local area without driving too far but we did notice there was a really regular bus service to nearby towns for those who do not want to drive.
Overall a great little site, clean and tidy with decent showers and in a good location.
We will return but it would be nice to see some little fold down seats in the showers to dry our feet!

The site had good showers. Powerful and warm 1st thing and late on. We didn't eat in the cafe as thought it a bit pricey.
We were told exactly where to pitch and as it was quite full considered this helpful rather than a problem.The site went very quite after 11 p.M. The location was spot on. We are two adults with teenage daughters. We stayed two nights. One day we spent at lightwater valley theme park.Its about 15 mins drive away.We also drove into Ripon which is about 20 mins away for a meal on one evening.The other day we went to the Blacksheep brewery(half a mile away). I would recommend it. The guide was enthusiastic and witty(She was approx 60 yrs old).
The only niggle with the campsite was the amount of signs.From dogs on leads to don't walk up this path to look after the hair dryer as this is the third one this season.

Arrived on a busy Saturday and was soon ushered into our pitch. Our first thought was on how tightly packed in the caravans were. As far as dog walks go these are really non existent you pay for your dogs but there is nothing there for them. The site was clean and tidy in all other respects, cafe pricey but space or lack of space was our overall disappointment.

We arrived on a nice sunny day but noticed the pitch was slightly sodden. Thinking that the drainage would kick in we endeavoured to setup home for the next few days. That first night we received 1 small shower.
In 4 days we had 20+ temperatures, baking in certain places around the park however our pitch never drained/dried out.
However despite the squelchy conditions of our pitch, other pitches looked spot on, the park was bustling but not unbearably rowdy all be it 1 night then extremely promptly management evicted them at 8am . Fantastic service making a lot of happy campers.
A small shop caters for all, the restaurant which is more a cafe is not unreasonably priced provides top notch food with a flexible menu. With a bring your own alcohol policy for meals.
All in all I would go back, I have scored them down on the overall ratings because of the drainage issue regarding the old railways bridge plots. There was hardly any rain and the ground should have done better with the excess water. Oh and they never cut the grass there ;)

Nice site, friendly and helpful staff. Toilet block excellent and immaculately clean - although their was an unpleasant smell from the nearby sceptic tank.
Site was very busy at the weekend - so virtually no space for children to play and there isn't a playground.
Cafe was very good , but it was a pity it didn't open earlier in the mornings for breakfast - 8.30 is a bit late for campers with children who wake up early.
Masham is a lovely little town, breweries, pubs and interesting food shops. Lovely walks along the river banks.
It was easy to walk into Masham apart from the first 50 yards or so - along a narrow footpath next to a busy road - a nightmare with kids and dogs. - There was an entrance to a field immediately opposite the site which would have been much better to walk down, but there was a large sign saying -No capacitance'
