Great site! The shower block was as warm as toast even though it was freezing outside! Facilities were spotless and the pitches were very large.
The Guy Fawkes Arms in the village, is a short walk away and is fantastic if you have a dog. There is a room with leather chesterfield sofas that are for the dogs to sit on and our dog dined on beef and turkey every nigh.
The site has excellent walks nearby and it is a pleasant walk to Knaresborough, part of the walk is along the river. If you don't want to walk there is a bus service into Knaresborough.
This is a lovely little site, with all the usual high standard you can expect from a Caravan Club site, and more.
The pitches are massive with ample space for van, awning & car, and they are all hard-standing, so you have to use rock pegs for your awning.
The toilet block was immaculate, with loads of loos, 4 showers (very hot and powerful), and around 5 or 6 seperate wash cubicles. There is a baby & toddler bathroom, which you can only access with a key, and it was great for the little ones. There is a toilet, bath with an overhead shower, and all the usual nappy changing stuff. It was kept at a constant warm temperature, and was always very clean.
The on-site bistro was ok. The food was lovely, but it was a bit pricey, and the service was quite slow. Not great when you have 2 impatient toddlers in tow!
The play area did leave a lot to be desired. It is tucked away in the far top corner of the site, miles away from the pitches, and has nothing but a slide to keep the littlies amused. My 2 got bored after 5 minutes.
There is a lovely little dog walk, which is accessed through a locked gate, and runs rould the outside of the site.
All-in-all, a great little site, but probably more suited to couples rather than families
The toilet block was immaculate, clean, tidy and warm. They had several toilets and as many showers with lots of private washbasins which I like the idea of. There were hairdryers to use if you didn't want wet hair in the wind. The floor was perfectly clean and there was a special mop to clean up after you had used the shower.
The playground was ok but it would have been better, had it been a little closer to the caravans. As it is, it is on the big camping field up a long road from all the caravans. The site has a pub on site but we didn't use it as you have to book quite early to get a table. Also the playground would have been nicer had it more equipment as its not very child - friendly.
The pitches were fabulous. There were generously sized pitches with hedges sectioning them off having your own private pitch. They are all hardstandings so you will need to buy rock pegs but its much nicer than the soggy grass.
The surrounding area was ok. Knaresboroughs about a 10 minute drive away which we went into on our first day. It has lots of shops and a childrens paddling pool. Also Harrogate is not so far away to do lots of clothes shopping. Bolton Abbey is about an 1/2 hour drive away but it has tremendously long walks and a river to sit and have a picnic beside.
All in all, a great site, would definitely go back.
Booked on to this site at the last moment on a very rainy day and wasn't sure what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived, the tent field is very spacious and they only accept five tents so you have plenty of room.
The facilities were excellent, the toilet block was absolutely spotless with plenty of wash cubicles and showers and the hairdryers are free to use.
The site is very quiet apart from a little road noise. There is a little bar/bistro and they had finished serving food when we had finished pitching our tent on a horrendous night but they cooked two dinners for us specially and we were very grateful.
It's a lovely short walk into the village to visit the local pub, the Guy Fawkes Inn and if you have a dog they seem to be very welcome.
All in all a lovely clean site that I would highly recommend.
Just back from 6 nights here. On the caravan club site book it said this site was "family friendly" unfortunately didnt find this was the case while there. The play area is well out of the way and obviously where most of elderly couples there wanted them to be and only consisted of one small chute! Not the usual chit chat either but again probably because we had kids. Site is lovely though and town nice too though again not much for the youngsters to do there either. Perfect though if you want a nice peaceful break but we will keep this site child free in future.
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
Still a great site - location and cleanliness the main features.
We have regularly visited this site for years now (since we started caravanning) one of the main attractions was the on-site club house - which offered good home made food and a limited range of drinks at reasonable prices. This in my opinion is no longer true, it offers a selection of mainly frozen / fried or reheated food and expensive food. The Guy Fawkes Arms in the village (about 10-15 minutes) walk does great food a wide selection of drinks and is dog / child friendly.
We'll still be using the site as we love the area and also find it useful as a stopover (just off the A1) when heading South.
It was raining when we left Sheffield and the forecast for the weekend wasn't good, however when we arrived the sun was shining and what a nice site this is, very clean and tidy. The showers are of the highest quality spotless and very warm. There is a small bar on the site that serves food, even though we didn't eat there it was nice to go and have a drink while we waited for our taxi.
Knaresborough is a taxi ride away £5.00 for the privilege but well worth it for a fantastic night out. Plenty of pubs all within a few yards of each other in the town square.
Mother Shiptons cave is close to the site, but on this occasion we didn't visit it. We did get some rain but, this didn't spoil our weekend - would we go back? You bet.
Lovely site. Toilets were really clean. We were there at the time of all the floods in Yorkshire. The caravan opposite woke up in the morning to find they were sitting in a HUGE puddle of water. The wardens couldnt have been more helpful and towed them out with their tractor. By evening the water had disappeared and everything went back to normal. The wardens never stopped all day and were constantly checking the site. If we are down there again we will booking into this site again.
As all the other reviewers have already said this is a fantastic site. The pitches are mostly on hardstanding with plenty of room for the awning, car and caravan, we managed to get the rock pegs in ok though so no problem. The toilet block is probably one of the best I've been in, clean warm and plenty of room in the showers to hang your towel, clothes, a stool to sit on to dry your feet before slipping your shoes back on. There are about a dozen loos, four or five showers and the same amount of cubicles with wash basins in. A clean mop bucket was available everyday which everyone used to clean their cubicle after use. The showers didn't turn off after a minute or two like many others I've used which is annoying to the fullest when you're stood there with your hair full of shampoo!The water pressure was good and the temperature was easily adjustable, they stayed at the temperature set for the duration. Full marks wardens.
Unusually for a caravan club site there is a licenced bar, serving food. We had a drink there both nights of our stay before heading off into Knaresborough. It was friendly and relaxed, there's even a little sitting room area with a T.V, very cosy. We ordered a taxi to get into the town, cost a fiver and the driver turned up bang on time. Talking of the town, there are at least 8/9 pubs in the market square, some quiet and some more lively, its a really good night out. We picked up a chinese takeaway from the Ming Fai on the main street one night, I recommend the food it was lovely. There is no taxi rank for your return journey to the site which isnt really in walking distance. Providing you prepare in advance by having one of the taxi numbers in your mobile and you order it about 30 mins before you want to go home you shouldn't have a problem.
Car parking in the town is reasonable too, we only paid a £1 to park all day at the side of the castle ruins, we had to wait a few minutes for a space though it was full when we pulled in. You can park in the two hour limited spaces on the main street for free, you just need to pick up a disc from one of the shops on the street which you display in your car indicating what time you parked up.
The view over the river Nidd by the castle ruins is very nice and a lady was stood there with a couple of tethered ravens, didn't realise how big those things were.
We had a trip into Harrogate which is about 5 miles away, lots of shops and and some grand buildings. The weather looked a bit threatening, black clouds were gathering so didnt stop long enough to have a good explore but will go back on another trip and maybe spend a day there. Wetherby race course is only a short drive away if you fancy the races.
All in all a brilliant site, a great weekend and only an hour away from where we live, we will be back if these reviews don't result in the site being permentantly booked up.
Just returned having spent the Easter weekend there. A first class site with possibly the largest spaced pitches we've come across. Toilet / shower block - immaculate and warm. You have a large Morrisons a short drive away which is always handy. Having a beautiful town nearby is also a bonus. The roadside walk (1.5m) into town though is a bit too close to the busy road, there is a longer riverside/woodland walk. We tried Carriages for 'Tapas' - OK but nothing you couldn't knock up at home. 'Blind Jacks' was the best bar especially if you like real ale - a great pint!
We didn't have them but I can imagine that having our bikes there would be a good idea. We'll be back.

Great site! The shower block was as warm as toast even though it was freezing outside! Facilities were spotless and the pitches were very large.
