 We have just returned from a weekend break at Dalesbridge - all I can say is that nothing has changed with regard to the toilets, even though on the 1st page of the UK Campsite review they now say they pride themselves on the cleanliness of the site toilets / showers.
Arrived Friday teatime, to be shown to our pitch, the attendant then walked away without even briefing us on the position of the nearest toilets / showers. We found the nearest toilets to us to be in a portakabin (2 ladies, 2 gents) , we then found the toilet block (again 2 ladies, 2 gents) neither had hot water / hand dryers not even a papertowel in sight.
The toilet / shower block consisted of 4 communal showers - not very hygenic and full of cobwebs / spiders.
Once nighttime came, children were running up and down the field till after 12pm - even adults going to and from the toilet blocks tended to be inconsiderate shouting and singing, this went on till approx 2am. No Security on the campsite to keep things quiet.
The A65 runs alongside the campsite, so there tends to be a lot of road noise, as this road is like the M6 - never stops.
The only good point I can mention is that the pitches were level.
Sorry Guys, but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done.

Went for bank holiday weekend at the end of May, weather was very hit and miss but site looked good and although it was very busy no problems with noise or children playing ball games and tents getting hit.
Only down side was the state of the toilets, they where dirty, smelly and no hot water to wash hands and if you used cold water there was nothing to dry them with.
Come on guys basic hygiene standards is all we ask for.

Stayed at this site last weekend. it was very quiet and peacefully. Despite it being very wet the field was well drained. They have obviously done considerable work here over the winter with new hard standing and an access track down the field. New picnic tables etc.
The toilets were spotlessly clean with plenty of hot water. So hopefully the comments made by others have been rectified for this season. Staff were also friendly and helpful. We intend to return later in the season when it should be a bit drier and warmer!

Went for a long weekend the week after August Bank Holiday to avoid the crowds.
Site is near to the A65 Settle to Lancaster Rd, between Settle & Ingleton. Road noise is always there, but not too intrusive.
A good size field to camp in with good views north & south.
Dalesbridge is an activity centre (see their website) with a number of bunkhouses at the top end of the camping field. The weekend we were there, they had a few van loads of teenagers from Merseyside & a few family parties. Ball games & swearing in the field was quite apparent during the late afternooon / early evening. To be fair, this stopped reasonably early & was relatively quiet before dark.
However the main talking points among the caravaners parked up were the following:
1. a narrow entrance lane with overhanging gorse bushes which scratch the vans as they pass
2. Why leave all of the grass cuttings on the lawn after cutting so that they got everywhere?
3. The poor state of the toilets! They had a ladies & gents toilet block (closed when we arrived) which stank and had not been cleaned for a long while. They also had 4 toilet / shower rooms -= with nice heated floors! Could have been heaven, except these were not cleaned properly & were filthy. A lad came in every other day & seemed to change the toilet roll & squirt blue stuff down the loos. However there were (old) spiders nests (and loads of the forementioned mown grass clippings!)in the toilet area & mats of hair in the shower tray.

This campsite is level and well drained with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. It is ideally placed for running up or down the west side of the Yorkshire Dales with many walks and interesting places to go and visit. Pets are welcome there and yet no pet foul could be seen on site.
Although we cooked on site, there are a few local pubs/cafes which provide hot meals/drinks (10-15 mins away by car).
The site was quiet after 11pm even though this was a bank holiday. People were great and friendly.
The toilets and showers could have been a little cleaner for our liking and also the kitchen/washup area. Especially on the Bank Holiday days although things improved a little on the tuesday after.
Would go again but probably mid-week, not on a bank holiday.

We stayed at Dalesbridge Sat evening 20th Aug 05.
The shower facilities were fine although flip flops are advisable.
Really easy to get to Pen-y-ghent and the Gamecock in Austwick is very welcoming.
Mosquitos could be tamed by using bug candles.

Power showers were over-rated - more like a trickle of warm water- very dirty-full of hair and grass. Cleaner did not appear to clean them. Only 4 toilet/showers (dual facilities) for whole site - good job it was quiet! Again, dirty and no loo roll on two nights.
Campsite very uneven and long grass! Bins on side of campsite were not emptied despite being over-flowing.

Very basic site only 4 showers for everybody although they were free. Facilities (loos/showers were not adequate and were not clean at all) the site was also very noisy - although it suddenly stopped at about 11.30pm. The site is also too close to the main A65 so you can hear the traffic. All in all a very basic site, good for walkers, reasonbably priced etc.

This was our first trip and it went well. Lovely views and very flat. Toilets were ok, but yes most had ran out of loo roll by Sunday. I`m not sure if it was a tad over priced compared with other sites facilities, having said that we have yet to try the other sites! Would go again.

We have just come back from this site for a weekend away to celebrate our 2nd anniversary without the kids. The site was very easy to find, from the directions.
When you go in the chap was very nice and chatty told us where we were to go. Which was fine we felt though they needed some kind of order for the tents, because by ten o'clock the site was busy but people had just gone anywhere. But on saturday even more people came and it was an like an obsticle course to round the tents. But apart from that the site area was very nice.
There are a few things that i think most people would like when they are away and that is a cleam shower cubicle. Well afraid they weren't clean as soon as you worked in the single unit the floor and the shower cubicle were dirty with mud and other things. ( we were glad we took a spare towel with us ). The toilet block with 2 toilets ran out of toilet paper on Saturday night by sunday morning i thought they would of refilled up but they hadn't and also one of the toilets was well and trully blocked up.
I have sent them an email so hopefully they will make some changes
We would go back to this site if a few things changed.

Have stayed here more than once and keep coming back. Ideal for local amenities especially walking,cycling etc. Level dry camp field - friends have used b and b on site too. Gets very busy bank hoidays - stayed midweek this time and it was nice and quiet-dog enjoyed it as much as me. Haven't tried the bunk houses but they look good for groups or families. Toilets have always been Ok when i've visited with plenty of hot water. Recommend to try!

Just got back from Dalesbridge having spent five nights on the site. They shut the Gents toilet block after numerous complaints from campers - they were dirty and in need of repair. However, this also meant that all the blokes on site had to jump up and down waiting outside the 4 shower/wash-basin/toilet units. The bunkhouses do not attract the quieter type of camper either as team-building and bonding seem to be prevalent in late night sessions. At £3.50/night for hook-up and £4.25/person it lacks the quality such prices suggest. A shame really, as the field is flat and well-drained and the locality wonderful.

We particularly enjoyed the heated cubicles (4) which had a toilet / washbasin / shower in each but although the site was quiet (we came here the week after the bank holiday weekend) they still ran out of loo roll.
The first night(Friday) was noisy from 1 to 2am although the second night not as bad, perhaps someone had a word.
That being said we will not judge on one visit and intend to return soon as it is well placed for exploring this lovely part of the country. Settle apart from being a pretty village has some great take-aways and restaurants. I'm told the pub in the local village (Austwick) has a good reputation for food which is probably right as we couldn't get in on Saturday at 7.30pm!!
