We Visited Street Head with little expectations and before I start I would like to say overall we had a good weekend.
£14. 50 per night with electric hook up
1. Toilet/shower block although was cleaned was far from being clean. My better half thought it would be cleaner to dodge the showers completely.
20p got you enough time but unfortunately the pressure was extremely low despite me being the only one in the block and the temperature was very difficult to set. 2 showers each in male and female blocks.
2. Pitch was on a hill, quite a steep hill, whilst looking for our pitch we nearly got stuck in the touring field, the grass was wet though. The views however are really worth seeing flanked either side by sprawling hilly countryside. The site is made up mostly of static caravans which looked well looked after.
3. The washing facilities were not very good. Again low pressure with a push to operate tap meant it could take 20mins to fill a sink. Better off boiling the kettle. We never used the laundry room which had coin operated washer, dryer and iron
4. The owners seemed really nice and we were informed whenever there was bad weather they would dutifully tow people from the touring field if stuck.
5. Street Head Inn was fantastic, food was really nice (steak 16. 95 - steak and ale pie 10. 95), pint of fosters 3. 00, the staff were chatty and the bar, games room was always busy.
There was also a small pub in the neighbouring village well within walking distance called the George Inn. They serve food but we never had any, pints again were £3 and the staff were very friendly.
6. We visited Castle Bolton nearby and had a really good time despite the weather being horrendous. Well worth a look around, they have falconry displays, bee hives, gardens, boars as well as 4 or 5 floors of castle to look around.
7. As a note the site had a lot of children on despite there being nothing for them to do. I can imagine younger children would be difficult to keep amused without actually going off site.
I hope the review isn't too long and I have wrote the information down that I myself would find useful when researching a new site I hope it is of some benefit to yourselves.
We stayed over the May Bank Holiday and although the weather was poor we had a great time. The lower field does slope but this was not an issue.
The facilities are fine, very clean and well looked after, loads of hot water for washing up and the showers were only 20p. The owner regularly checks the site and is friendly and helpful.
There are no specific kids facilities, but the ones who were there seemed to having a great time without, playing tennis, cricket etc.
The site is in a beautiful position, gorgeous surroundings. Wharfedale and Wensleydale both very close for great walks.
A very friendly relaxed site, ground is slightly sloping, ( take chocks). Toilets, 3 mens+ urinal, and 2 showers, they were clean and kept clean, mop and bucket provided so you can clean up after yourself. And they have a hand dryer.( I didn't investigate the ladies ), 1 elsan point, 1 grey waste point, 1 tap for fresh water in touring area,
If you are used to large commercial sites this site could be a bit of a surprise, It is like a certificated site but with facilities.
A small site with quite a few permanently sited tourers, a very nice pub next door, good beer and food ( you may need to book for this). The site has a good mix of bods, families, couples, duke of Edinburgh kids, None were rowdy ( mark deals with this very firmly)
The site is very well placed to explore the region, aysgarth, forbidden corner, walking, etc.
Like many sites in the area it is not a children's play site, there is no play area, but there are trees to climb, and hide and seek to play, or other games which means you need to spend time with your kids ( isn't that why we have em).
Oh did I mention its very relaxing, splendid scenery, we will certainly stay there again.
A great campsite. Good value for money at £13 per night for a family of 4 in a largish tent.
We spent 3 nights here and really enjoyed it. We were on a bit of a budget so Street head really helped the cause.
We stayed in the lowest field that is on a bit of a slope but that was fine with us. The lavatories are a shortish walk but again not too far. The whole site felt safe and friendly.
There is very little to do in the immediate area but jump in the motor and the Dales and the Lake district are all within easy reach for great day outs.
The owners we very helpful and friendly.
I highly recommend this campsite. We loved it and the kids loved it.
Nice site, good facilities and a grand welcome, even for a solitary tent-camper.
This is primarily a caravan site but there is a field reserved for tents too, which had wide flat areas for pitching and good soft soil for pegging. The facilities I used were the shower (20p piece required, hot but not very powerful) and the toilet block (good, clean and comfortable to use - bigger and better than most of the more basic sites I used this week).
When I arrived the owner was very friendly and accommodating, even though I gave her a twenty pound note for my five-pound one night stay, making her hunt around for change for me.
The pub next door is very welcoming too, and does excellent beer and food.
After leaving it too late to book anywhere for the Bank Holiday weekend we couldn't believe our luck when we rang here and they said no need to book just turn up.
The site is situated about 8 miles from Leyburn, so it is a little remote but the scenery is stunning.
On arrival the owner was very helpful and obliging and told us we could pitch up more or less where we wanted. On leaving reception you go through a first enclosure that has statics in.
The next section has tourers round the perimeter and pitches in the centre with EHU. If you go on a little further the next field is massive and that's where we camped.
It is a little sloping, but considering it was a Bank Holiday there were only a handful of tents there and we pretty much had our pick of places to pitch. The kids had loads of room to play ball games without fear of annoying anyone. This made up for there being no play area.
Because we were in the furthest field it was a bit of a trek to the toilet block(especially at night) but that would be my only criticism.
The Shower block had 2 showers (20p for a good 5 mins) and about 4 toilets. There was an electric point, again 20p, if you wanted to take your hairdryer. The showers and toilets were clean; the floors got muddy from people walking in but there was a mop for people to clean up after themselves (if they could be bothered).
There is a pub that does food just at the entrance to the site; we found it to be a bit pricey and mostly cooked our own food.
Leyburn has some lovely shops and a small supermarket.
We visited Aysgarth Falls and Castle Bolton both lovely and not a very long journey.
A bit further is Hawes, they have a great fish and chip shop and the Wensleydale cheese factory - lots of free samples in the gift shop!
We will definitely be returning here again and at £13 a night its great value.
This was our first visit to this site so not sure what we would find. We only stayed for two nights but have to say I will return to this site soon.
The staff were first class and very helpful. The toilets were clean. The camping field was ok but be careful if the weather is wet it can be come slippy.
There is a nice pub at the entrance to site good food and not too pricey and the bonus for as we have two dogs the pub has a room were they are allowed in.
On a positive note the site setting is beautiful and ideally placed for discovering North Yorks spots like Aysgarth falls, Hawes etc. (although we hadn't realised it was beside a road!). The pub right at the site entrance is also good and we had a nice meal which was good value.
The other aspects of the site are less positive; the touring caravan area is small and pitches are cramped and the only view we had was straight into the windows of another van. We had thought all the pitches were hard standing but this is not the case; we were placed on a strip of grass in the middle of the other vans. It was impossible to get any degree of levelness in the van. I fell over twice on the slippy grass and mud trying to get back into the van; there needs money spending on drainage and improving the standard of pitches.
The site office was rarely open at the times it said it would be and the only time we ever saw the owners was when we came to pay. I expect a better standard of site and service for £17.50 a night. There is no shop on site or dog walking area.
We have had 6 breaks at this site over the last 4 years, the staff are so lovely, very helpful and relaxed. It is perfect in location for aysgarth leyburn & hawes but quaint and quiet and not too touristy (if that makes sense).
The scenery is lovely as is the pub ! there is a slope on the tenting pitch however that can sometimes be an advantage. There is hard standing and hook ups and the site is well maintained
There are often walking groups/D of E type groups that stay which can make the showers a bit messy however there is a mop provided, showers are 20p and do their job but can be a bit dull (but then we nearly always have been in the chilly october months) and I have never been to the loo and not had loo roll.
There are pot washing facilities and ample bin space. The outside is well lit at night if you need to nip to the loos. There isn't a play ground, however it is child friendly in that the owners and residents are happy for the kids to ride their bikes, play ball and shout about like kids do. I love this simple site and have stayed at it more times than any other.
Just back from Street Head and the site deserves some up to date info.
Its location is first rate for walking, waterfalls, cycling or castles and gardens type of stuff. Leyburn and Hawes are both worth a visit and the waterfalls of Hardraw, Aysgarth, Ingleton and West Burton are must sees.
The camp itself is in three distinct areas, one for statics, the second is for tourers and tents and is only slightly sloping. But, the third and most easterly (as you look at google earth) is on a fair slope which is steeper than it looks. Mainly tents seemed to pitch here and it pretty much is used as the overflow and has no EHU.
The site office was closed on our arrival so we called the owner on his mobile and gained his permission to pitch where we liked. It being a Thursday we had a large choice to go at and so found a sheltered spot but surrounded by great scenery. The camp did fill up over the weekend with all sorts of patrons from Italian, Dutch to backpacking Duke of Edinburgh award types.
The site is well kept with a low key approach to discipine with no overt 'briefings' from the owners. However a noisy party of revellers were pulled into line sharpish on the Saturday night so full marks to the owner and a peaceful night ensued.
The toilet block was acceptable and was kept fairly clean. Two showers and three loos in the gents and two showers and six loos in the ladies.
The showers are electric and at 20p a go ran for more than enough time. The instructions are on each shower door how to oerate them.
No soap or paper towels/drier in either so think ahead.
There is a mop and bucket to clean up after yourself and a few cleaning products for the use of.
The potwash on the end of the building is free of charge and the hot water comes through after a short time.
For entertainment if you wish there is a pub at the site entrance, the Street Head in was ok and fairly priced at £2.75 a pint upwards and £1.50 for a bowl of proper big chips. Picnic tables outside offered the pub experience with a glorious outlook.
All in all we found it to be a popular site in a great location with a relaxed attitude to rules and regulations.
At £80 for 6 people over 4 days we think it represents great value for money.
