Date of Visit: September 2008 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Billys Mum 6 reviews from this member

 I think all there is to be said has been said really. We stumbled upon this site heading away from the rain in the Lake District.

The warden was friendly.

The facilities great; book library for exchange or buy; homemade jams; fresh eggs; music & dvd hire. The cleanest and best equipped wash facilities I have seen all year.

The bar was closed when we called.

The walks were great. Although only there for a night I managed a walk in the woods just across the road. And although there is a key to the 'dog walk', you can access that area by just going outside the site and turning right into the lane. Even the farmer using that lane seemed mighty friendly when he passed me in a very ancient tractor.

We will definitely go back to explore the area.

The local pub in Scotton is lovely, welcoming and very dog friendly so will be going there again.

The pitches are mainly hard standing. We arrived without booking but the warden allowed us onto a spare grass pitch which was ok for the night and we were grateful for it, but wouldn't have wanted to stay a week because the ground was too soft - a result of the recent downpours. A marvellous site!

 Stopped here as an over nighter on the way back from Scotland. Great little site. Very very well kept and a nice warm welcome (although they did not know we had booked via the call centre) Toilets and showers are very well kept. Did not find it a very quiet site I must say. There seemed to be a local generator going all hours which left a deep droning in the back ground and as the pitches are quite close a fair bit of noise from cars and neighbours in the early morning. As a stop over site Great. Not sure we would spend any longer there though.

 Had a good warm welcome at this site.

Nice area to visit lots to do. Knaresborough has a lovely river with boat hire worth visiting.

The site itself was a little to be desired for

The site was covered in grey gravel which in my eyes made me feel really depressed(suppose the wet weather didn't help)

And I found the people on the site not very friendly.

Wont be visiting again unless every where else was fully booked.

Reviewer: Fee x 2 reviews from this member

 We got a brilliant corner pitch as we got there for 12 noon. However i've said before on CC sites, I think its bad management that you can't book a specific pitch and together so you can be next to friends or family. Play area not great but we took our kids bikes and they were more than happy.
Bristro ok, nothing special and not cheap as its only pub type bar food. Drinks are expensive. Shower block excellent, clean, dry and lovely hot showers although only 4 in the ladies. Would go again as its central to lots of places to visit. All in all, it needs some more play equip and the wardens needs to chill out a bit or retire.

 Grand Site, with the usual high standard of service and services. The wardens and their assistants, were excellent in all they provided.

The site had a small restraunt which opened a few nights a week, the menu was varied and the food good, but a little expensive.

We will certainly return next year

Philpin Farm Campsite - Yorkshire Dales

Beautiful tent only site set on a family run hill farm in the Yorkshire Dales, nestled between Ingleborough and Whernside. The Three Peaks footpath runs right through the farm adjacent to the campsite with lots of walks direct from the site from easy strolls to climbing the Three Peaks, and five minutes to the pub!

Tent pitches only, no electric hookups. Toilet and shower block and washing up facilities. Sit, eat and socialise in the old barn, with free wifi, charging lockers, freezer. At weekends the Philpin Snack bar is open for cooked breakfasts, hot and cold snacks and drinks, ice creams, chocolates etc, on other days there are vending machines in the barn.

Reviewer: Noddyman 2 reviews from this member

 Lovely site with good facilities situated halfway between Ripley and Knaresborough. The site has approx. 65 pitches about two thirds hardstanding with the remainder on grass. Pitches are mainly regimented with a few areas where you can tuck yourselves away if you prefer a little more privacy. The large toilet block is modern and clean being within easy access of all the pitches. My only criticism would be a lack of facilities for children and an overall feeling of the kids not really being welcome. The play area is a joke with just one climbing frame even though there is plenty of room for other equipment.

So to summarise I would say if your a couple looking for a nice, quiet site with good facilities this one would be hard to beat. Just leave the kids at home! 


Date of Visit: April 2008 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Suzanne23 1 review from this member

 What an absolutely gorgeous site! The toilet block was very clean, and the showers had great temperatures on. Stayed on for as long as you wanted, and the temperature was very easily adjusted. Very clean as people mopped out their shower cubicles A LOT in consideration to others. There were separate cubicles with sinks in also! very clean, and well hidden.
One small problem, the playground wasnt very good. One tiny little slide, and a few bars. Not very good, but was good for me, to sit and talk. Knaresborough was very nice to look around, and a local attraction would be Mother Shipton's Cave! Also went to Bolton Abbey, great walk and took a picnic! York only an hours drive away, and the dog walk was very good! Went for miles & miles. Also, there was some lovely places to walk nearby. Lovely site! Will definitely go back again.

 Brilliant site very clean. Wardens very helpful. Showers etc. Spot on; club house very good, meals good. Good dog walk right beside site. Guy Fawkes pub approx. 400 metres(dog friendly), meals very good. Will visit again next year.

Reviewer: Famicon 13 reviews from this member

 Spent 3 nights here. To be honest I thought this site was a bit to regimented in the sense that the pitches are all in orderly rows which reminded me of suburban streets rather than a country camp site. We chose to pitch on the grassed area which we liked much better, probably because it was quieter as there were no tents.
Never seen so many rabbits in my life! No dog walk on site and the public pathway you can use can be muddy and there is no where to let dog off lead. Male warden very helpful but female warden greeted me with a long whinge about how hard it is for two people to run the site and how members never read notices.
If grassed pitches weren't available we wouldn't stay here again. Oh, and if coming North from A! you have to drive thriugh Knaresborough itself and up a fairly narrow busy road to the site. 


Date of Visit: May 2007 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: SW307 20 reviews from this member

 We stayed here for the bank holiday weekend and were very happy with the site. The facilities were spot on, the play area was a little lacking, but there was space to kick a ball around away from vans. Our children spent hours scootering around the site! We felt we didn't need the car once there, we walked into Knaresborough along the river banks and it was an easy enough walk even with a 5 year old. The onsite 'pub' did food which was nice and reasonable, £30 for a family of four with drinks. Lots in the area to visit, the pool in Knaresborough is great too if the weather isn't up to much.
