 We visited Thornbrook Barn last year when the site owners were just drawing up the plans to extend this excellent caravan site. Over looked by Ingleborough on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales
Now with some 29 large pitches new toilet and shower block the site looks fantastic where you can relax in your own little private pitch.
When we visited the shower and toilet block was not finished but operational once the new seeded grass and shrubs start to grow the site will look even better.
The Family run Sheep Farm and Caravan site are a real credit to Alan, Sandra, James and Ellie not forgetting Granddad who have worked hard to get this site up and running for Easter.
On arriving we were met by a smiling friendly site owner who handed us a map of the site and leaflets of places to visit locally. We will be visiting again in the near future to meet old friends and while away the hours in a tranquil, peaceful part of the Yorkshire Dales

Husband and myself like Ingleton and were looking for a quiet site in the area. We found this one whilst looking through this web site and are glad we did. The site has been developed over the past year, new trees planted, spotless heated toilet/shower block, information room and pot wash. We had a super pitch that was larger than a normal pitch.
Once the trees have grown and the grass it will be a really nice site and the pitches private. The owners are friendly and the whole family hardworking.
I wouldn't really recommend it for children as there are no facilities such as a play park for them. Considering the site is just off the A65 there was hardly any road noise.
The nearest pub was the Marton Arms about 10 min walk down the road. As we were only 16 miles away from Hawes we visited the Wensleydale Creamery and came away with some very nice selected cheese. We will definitely visit again as we like the area and it will be nice to see how established the planting has become.

This is a meticulously cared for site in beautiful surroundings with immaculate, huge pitches, a pristine shower block and a great location. Reasonable too. The booking process was well organised and Sandra was very helpful prior to arrival. My only comment is is that they maybe need to decide who they are targeting the site at. The owners should potentially consider becoming an adult only site as there are absolutely no facilities for children (whatever age) and any outdoor play is actively discouraged. No parent takes their child camping and can realistically expect them to sit down and not play ball games or explore and the children in our party were told off numerous times by the gentleman owner. On one occasion he was quite aggressive with my two (well behaved) teenaged boys who were playing a gentle game of football and causing no nuisance to any other visitors. I appreciate enforcing rules (although there was no sight of a 'no ball games rule' in the information leaflet) but there are ways and means to do this without stereotyping young adults and yelling at them. An explanation first of the existence of a rule and why, followed by a polite request to stop would have done the trick and then as parents we would have intervened if it had continued. The owner's behaviour on this occasion was unacceptable and led to upset all round. All in all we'd probably return as a couple, not as a group with children. Therefore, I would highly recommend Thornbrook as a site for adults who like peace and an early night in their motor home/caravan. (Incidentally we weren't a 'party group' as we were there to get up very early for the gaping gill winch and walk up Ingleborough and were off site for most of the time. ) Good luck to the owners with their new venture - they have created a beautiful space to enjoy the fabulous location - they just need to make it clearer on the website about children as we would have booked elsewhere if we'd known that family groups were an issue and saved the stress all round. Also note, the hardstanding is VERY hard - compacted gravel rather than loose gravel - so pack a good hammer and pegs and don't plan to use your awning as a bedroom. Marton Arms is in walking distance; food ok (not great), friendly staff, service was shambolic for us unfortunately but they did have a wedding on at the time so hopefully that is not a regular occurance. The location itself is stunningly beautiful and I highly recommend Kirkby Lonsdale, Claphan and Ingleton as places to visit plus the amazing walks to enjoy in the area.

I can only agree fully with the comments of the previous review. The toilet block was not quite finished on arrival however showers and WC were operation. The dishwashing room was completed the day after arrival and I would anticipate that all the other smaller works will be finished well before Easter. Grass seed had been sown and was starting to appear. The pitches are massive and once mature this will be one of the top sites to visit. The owners are extremely friendly and hard working. Evereything is brand new and therefore spotless and up to date.
The local bus can be stopped on the main road, a five minute walk. (2 Hour service to Kirkby Lonsdale and Settle)
This is an excellent location for walking. The information room contained books on local walks and also O. S Maps.
My overall Rating of 9 is purely down to the fact that there was unfinished parts of the site.

Just spent a night at this new campsite and feel we would like to leave a review. The pitches were excellent and you didn't feel on top of the next camper and we had plenty of room. The toilets and showers were obviously immaculate due to the newness of them but they were extremely clean. The walk into Ingleton was an easy 10 minute walk and the Harvester shop just across from the campsite, although slightly expensive was convenient and pleasant for a Sunday morning breakfast. All in all very pleased and will definitely be returning in the future.

Many thanks for a lovely weekend at Thornbrook Barn site the first of many we hope. Congratulations to all the family who have obviously worked very hard to get the new pitches and the shower and toilet block finished for the beginning of the season. We are looking forward to spending as much time as possible on our seasonal pitch. Good luck for the future you have certainly developed a top quality facility in a beautiful part of the country. Sue and Tim

I know this is an old review but I felt that I should convey our experience as we intend to re-visit the site after a break of over 4 years. We visited just after the site had opened. The site itself was a little bleak but to be fair it had only just been built and this will change as trees grow and the site matures.
Every part of the site was spotless and maintained to a very high level, the highlight being the toilet block - the facilities are by far the best I have seen on a caravan site - bar none! The owners have clearly done their research and made a fantastic facility.
We have just bought a caravan after a break of a couple of years and are hoping to test it out in the spring at this site. We had a standard pitch as this was all that was left but it was in no way inferior with new electric hookups and a decent area for each unit.
Just a few things to bear in mind - the pitches are hard standing and, at the time, were made of quite large stones so we didn't put our awning up but I'm sure this has been addressed and the pitches settled.
There is a country type shop at the end of the lane - the sort of thing that is made to extract money from the Shearings Blue Rinse brigade - walk on by as the lovely village of Ingleton is but a few minutes walk further on. There you will find all you need and some lovely pubs to eat in.
Also in Ingleton is the start of the waterfalls walk which is well worth doing. Please note however that this is not free and the ticket guy will catch you at some point (He got us right at the far end!). The top end comes out near White Scar Cave which, again, is a must see as well as having a lovely cafe.
Avoid the pub round the corner from the site (Unless its changed hands or they have found a proper chef recently), the food is truly awful. My wife's dinner came after mine and was preceded by a fire alarm in the kitchen - it was burnt (and the fire alarm really did go off just before they served it!)!
This does not reflect at all on what is a lovely well kept site or the area as a whole and we are looking forward to going back this year along with two of my siblings and their caravans.

On arrival my husbands face was a picture, as we approached the pitches we found a building site with diggers etc. No worries, the owner came up to us full of apologies, the re-development of the site had incurred delays.
It is a great site with hardstanding and electric hook up with excellent views.
3/4 miles is a great pub, just 1 mile down the road you can walk into Ingleton and visit the Ingleton waterfall trail. If you like walking with breathtaking views of the waterfalls this is a great day out at reasonable prices.
Just across the road is a Country Kitchen, with shops, a deli, a butchers and an excellent cafe.
The site owners are working really hard, including the elderly father and not forgetting the 16 year old son to provide a gem of site in a fantastic area.
I cannot wait to return to the site to see the new development.
All I can say is thank you for making us so welcome, for all the information on walks etc and we would like to wish you all the best for the future. Hopefully we may be making a booking for next year.
Mr & Mrs Down

Stayed on this site for one night on our journey home from Scotland. It is a lovely site which has been well thought out. Great views from the site too. We thought it was so good that we have booked to return in August. The leaflet given to us by the owner indicated that there was a scenic drive to the village Dent which we completed, however, it was a very narrow, twisty road which we enjoyed. Dent itself was lovely. Looking forward to going back to the site and doing more exploring.

This was our first visit to this site, but it wont be our last. In our opinion this is how all cl sites should be, spacious, tidy and all the recycling in one place away from the pitches.
The views are fantastic all though there was a little road noise from the A65.
Having spoken to the proprietors at length it became clear that attention to detail and to get it right first time was there goal. They have plans to extend the site and if there first attempt is anything to go by this will also be to the same standard.
As we were only there two nights and with a heavy snowfall on the first night we didn't get to walk the waterfalls. A short drive into Kirby Lonsdale And there are plenty of shops, supermarkets and a nice river walk to Ruskins View.
Just one last note, on our arrival the owner gave us an information leaflet, Great care has been taken in producing this information and it gives more than enough information about the site and area. As Arnold said I'll be back !

Really lovely little site, only 6 pitches but all well set out. Site kept immaculate, clearly very well looked after. Just off the the main road, so easy to get to but equally a very peaceful location.
No toilets or showers but that wasn't a problem to us, especially for £13 a night, however there was everything you needed with regards to water, toilet disposal, rubbish etc.
Only a 10 minute walk to Ingleton water falls which is a lovely walk, approximately 4 1/2 miles to walk round it.
I noticed a shop and small cafe at the end of the road which could be useful, although we didn't need it.
All in all this is a lovely site and I would be happy to recommend it.

A really super, small select site, kept in immaculate order, 16 amp hook up, well placed pitches. A very peaceful, scenic setting, walking distance to village/pub and waterfalls walk in Ingleton. Fresh bread etc at the end of the lane, 300 yards away. The services were sufficient for us, toilet waste disposal, fresh water, rubbish disposal. Ideal site for our needs, open all year ( a bonus)and deserves it`s excellent reviews. We will return without a doubt.

I cannot praise this site enough. Ideally located for the Dales and Lancashire. It is quiet and such an easy tow! The Country Harvest shop is ideal for food and gifts.
The Marston Arms in the village is lovely and the food superb. Ingleton is a short walk or even shorter drive with the waterfalls walk.
We used this site as a base for my other half undertaking the Yorkshire 3 peaks.
The site is on about a 30 min drive from Horton in Ribblesdale for the start point, We will be visiting again.
Only slight point I wanted to raise but will in no way stop us visiting again is that there is no dedicated dog walking area.

We booked late and fortunately there was a last minute cancellation. A wonderful small (only had 5 spaces) campsite located not far from the main road, but far enough not to hear road noise. Great View of Ingleborough and only a short drive into Ingleton. No shower or toilet block, but as we had our own toilet, it didn't matter. The owners were amazing and even let our youngest son feed the lambs in the field adjacent. Very quiet site and highly recommended. If you're wanting entertainment, playground and loads to do on site, then this is not the site for you. If you want peace and quiet, beautiful views and easy access then this is the place to be.

This was a return trip for us after an abortive visit in August 2011 when we left after one night due to torrential rain in the area and the prospect of no change for the forthcoming days.
So we re-booked and returned in May 2012 for a five night stay.
This site typifies what a CS should be all about – laid back with good basic facilities but also superb views.
The site is set out in a circle and is sloping although the terraced hardstanding pitches are all level with adjacent electric points. The water supply, toilet emptying & rubbish recycling area is located in a fenced area at the entrance to the site.
The views over the sheep pasture include the Thornton in Lonsdale church, the Marton Arms Hotel and the summit of Ingleborough. Whilst we were there, it was delightful to see the lambs running around the fields, especially George, the tame one that came to greet us when we walked by.
Ingleton itself is only a 20 minute walk away and the Country Harvest shop is less than 5 minutes across the A65 for fresh supplies.
There are plenty of walks available from the site – recommended are the ascent of Ingleborough and the walk into Kingsdale with all the pot holes & caves.
Sandra & Alan were always available to chat to and advise on walks.
In conclusion, Thornbrook Barn ticks all of the boxes of our CL/CS requirements and we would thoroughly recommend it for a restful stay.
