Date of Visit: August 2010 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Niccybear 7 reviews from this member

 We have just returned from this beautiful site. It rained most of the week but the drainage was excellent and we had a non EHU pitch at the bottom of the site. Very quiet except for the noise of the waterfall( not fot those with weak bladders !)

Site was very clean and we did not experience smells in the wash block that previous posters commented on. In fact, considering the rain, mud etc I must say the block was very clean. There was, on occasion queueing for the ladies showers ( just 4 )whilst the pot wash area was huge in comparison.

The staff were very welcoming and helpful and there are good recycling plots around the site. There are EHU pitches next to the playground ( 8 I think )contrary to a previous post but don't know if they have recently been put in.

The playground is for under 12's which left my son with little to do in hooking up with other kids.The river/waterfall is great and folk took dinghies down for a rather wild trip down it !

Lots of beautiful countryside and we had a very wet 4 1/2 mile walk around Ingleton Waterfalls trails, as well as Malham Cove.

Settle has a great Booth's supermarket and good takeaway outlets - Chinese closed on the Monday.

I loved this site for it's tranquillity, cleanliness, location and price - we will be back and well done to the owners.

Reviewer: Lorhen 3 reviews from this member

 We have just returned from a 5 night stay at this site and would definitely go back again if I could book some decent weather. We had EHU pitches 68 and 69 - 2 families of 4, just close enough to the park to see the kids and far enough to not hear them :)

GOOD POINTS

1) lovely surrounding countryside especially for walkers

2) very helpful staff - my husband wanted to collect some worms so that he could take our son fishing so they lent him a gardening fork.

3) shop stocks main items and not over priced

4) there is a fenced off field especially for dogs to have a good run in

5) fantastic pub 10 minutes walk away with great reasonably priced food and very friendly owners. Provided a colouring in book and pencil for our kids and lollies after their meal.

6) games room with TV and arcade games at only 10p a shot - ideal for wet moments

7)Wifi which we could use from the tent to skype home with or watch iPlayer

8) facilities very clean and tidy - 8 toilets and basins and 4 showers to each gender. Never had to queue. Automatic airfreshner in toilets (no further explanation required) Pot room and laundry in a nice dry area.

9) EHU pitches are huge and non EHU you can pitch where you like from what I could see.

We have no complaints so we will just call them NOT SO GOOD POINTS

1) area tends to get a bit more rain than other parts of country but unfortunately sunshine cant be ordered.

2) take your ear plugs because there is a lot of wildlife ie sheep and dogs which will wake you up early

3) could do with a time lock on barriers as there are some very inconsiderate people who will drive around at unsociable hours ie I don't consider it acceptable to drive not 10 feet from my bed on a gravel path at 7am - if youre going to be up that early, leave the car in the car park and don't be so inconsiderate to others !

4) my 8 year old got a bit bored with the park - could do with something else for the older ones

5) don't let Sat Nav take you to the site as it will lead you over a very narrow bridge

6) the laundry room needs some signs to tell you how much the washer/dryer is and how long it takes so that you don't have to pop back every 10 mins. Also some indication of what the settings mean would be useful.

7) my biggest gripe is with other people as there seems to be a new breed of campers who don't appreciate camping etiquette or plain common courtesy. I suggested that washrooms could do with some J cloths or paper towel so that people can wipe down their mess after them but this has been tried and had to be stopped as people were just taking the cloths! The other thing is the people who don't seem to have any volume control or realise that tent walls are only fabric. There were a lot of passing hitchhiking walkers who went to bed early but I doubt they got any sleep for the kids who were still screaming, running around after a ball in a game that only stopped when they physically couldn't see the ball anymore in the dark.

We had a great time at this site marred only by the weather and the lack of consideration of other 'campers'

Reviewer: Vgreen1979 2 reviews from this member

 My partner & I have just returned from a weeks stay at Knight Stainforth and have had quite a pleasant time.

The campsite is in a beautiful location and plenty of things to do in the surrounding area. We did a lot of walking while we were there and can thoroughly recommend, Ingleton Waterfalls, Malham Cove/Gordale Scar, Wernside & Ingleborough.

The facilities on the site were adequate but as it was peak time there are only 4 showers in the ladies & the same in the gents so most mornings you found yourself queueing unless you were up early. The overall cleanliness of the facilities was not great and the toilet block often smelt of urine.

When we arrived there was 1 washer & 1 dryer out of order this still had not been fixed when we left, this was a problem due to the weather being poor & the campsite busy.

The children's playground was ok but focused on things for younger children.

The shop stocked all basic amenities which was helpful. Overall the site location & Pitches were excellent, but everything else could have been better.

A must is the Craven Heifer pub which is a 10 min walk away into Stainforth, the food is excellent & the people are friendly everyone welcome even my 7 month old chocolate lab!

Reviewer: Barry_432 16 reviews from this member

 This is a friendly and welcoming site. There is a well stocked shop and a games room with a TV for the kids. The pitches were of a good size and the wifi was a plus as mobile signal was non existent.

A nice play area for the kids and excellent showers and washing facilities. There was a washing machine and dryer which was useful as wre were on a 2 week holiday. Site was very secure with a fob operated barrier and a key for the shower block.

A lovely setting and unlike another reviewer I enjoyed the sound of sheep first thing in the morning and the children were well behaved. It's good to see kids enjoying themselves and being kids!

The campsite is in a beautiful location and plenty of things to do in the surrounding area. We did a lot of walking while we were there and can thoroughly recommend, Ingleton Waterfalls, Malham Cove/Gordale Scar, Wernside & Ingleborough.

A visit to Hawes is thoroughly recommended.

Settle had a swimming pool and co-op. Only downside was the rain during our stay but that was hardly the owners fault

Reviewer: Poppypete 3 reviews from this member

 An excellent, family friendly site in a pleasant setting close to the river Ribble. The pitches are a good size and the site provides plenty of space for children to amuse themselves including a playing field, a small playground area and a TV room. The washroom facilities are well maintained and clean with no queues during our stay. On site there is a small shop for essentials and in the village of Strainforth about half a mile away there is an excellent pub where the jumbo Yorkshire pud is a treat.

Reviewer: Ratty 332 reviews from this member

 After a quick phone call to the site to check availability we headed to the site. We followed the satnav and it took us a route that is totally unsuitable for caravans and the bridge it takes you over is over 6 feet wide, so I would suggest you check you have the best route in before you leave. The route in was fine for us as we were travelling in a VW

The reception also doubles as a shop and has most of the basics you would require and camping accessories too. We booked in and they explained where everything was and showed us the camping areas on the map.

Near reception is the games room where you will find fussball, pool table, sky TV, arcade machines and more. Reception and the games and tv rooms are across the road to the site, but it is hardly a busy road.

The site is not the flattest but perfectly fine to level out with ramps and fine for tents. There is a large mixture of EHU and non ehu pitches and you can pitch where you like in the non ehu fields.

The toilet / shower block is very clean and well maintained and has four showers in the mens and plenty of toilets. There is also the washing up area and laundry in the same block. There are indivdual cubicles to wash and shave etc.

Fresh water and bins are all over the site, so no lack of these. The playground is great for the under 12's and is on the edge of the main non ehu field.

Settle is only about 3 miles away in the car, however we walked along the river from the site to Settle and took around an hour, and was stunning walk with some great scenery. Try the chips at the chippy at the foot of the hill opposite the public carpark , they were delicious. Spar and Co Op and restaurants and pubs in the village too

We went to Clapham and took the caves walk, this was great as there is a sheet of things to look out for and kept the kids occupied on the walk.

Wifi on site works, but can be slow, but at £2 per day is not expensive. Dogs are welcome and this is a great site that I would definitely come to again when in the area.

This is a great site and I would 100% return if ever in the area again.

Reviewer: Paul B 7 reviews from this member

 Great site - the toilet block was rebuilt about 3 years ago, and still looked fresh.

Site is well priced, and you don't get charged any extra for awnings.

Only negative on this site is the access in. The instructions given by the site take you for 2 miles down a single track road with a 7'6' width restriction. Fortunately didn't meet anyone in opposite direction! On exiting the site I turned north, the road wasn't any wider, but was shorter and had grass verges - when we visit again I will approach from the north even though it's a slightly longer drive.

Reviewer: Kar.en 12 reviews from this member

 Love it, love it, love it!

This is a fantastic site in a very beautiful area, with plenty of nice walks/days out nearby. We did the Malham Cove / Gordale Scar walk, which is around half an hour's stunning drive away.

The site couldn't be better - level pitches and the site was well maintained and clean (they seemed to be constantly emptying the bins!) Large, clean shower / toilet block (free but £10 deposit for key), washing up and laundry rooms, kids play area and a games room. The kids loved the river at the bottom of the site - great for paddling so take swimwear!

We were made very welcome on arrival and were given a map showing where our pitch was. Shop stocks all the basics and the info room has loads of leaflets on places to visit.

This is a relatively large site and attracts families (like us) so probably not for those looking to escape it all but there's a policy of no noise after 10pm so it's not rowdy (although the neighbouring sheep wake up early!)

We will definitely be back again but this is a popular site so you definitely need to book, especially in school holidays.

Full marks!

Reviewer: Neil.C 5 reviews from this member

 7 of us in our party, 4 adults and 3 young children.

Have to say we enjoyed this site except for two minor issues.

Firstly, the toilet block/washing facilities are a good walk from the electric hook-up pitches, especially when you have little ones with you. They could really do with another toilet block, when the toilets are busy in a morning and evening they really are smelly,and not pleasant to have to wash and shave in. Better ventilation may be a start !

We were also spoken to about someone complaining about the noise the evening before, coming from the area we were pitched in. I explained we had three young children with us, but they didn't seem to interested. Not very friendly if you want to sit inside your tent and chat on an evening.

Be prepared to have a very early night if you are on an electric pitch near the caravans, as they all seem to go to bed at 10pm, and do not want to here anyone else, even if you are only talking !

Apart from that, the kids loved it and it is in a lovely setting. Clean, tidy and a very pleasant site.

Reviewer: Kimd 2 reviews from this member

 I have been visiting this site for many years now. I started going to this site in a tent and always loved the site and now I have a touring van.

The site owners are very friendly and helpful, you have lots of room for your van, car and awning.

The toilets and showers are lovely and clean and free. There is a river at the bottom of the site which is great to play in.

Will be visiting again soon 10/10 site

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: Purplesheila 4 reviews from this member

 This is one of the best campsites I have been too. It is Family Friendly, clean, good play area.

The Electrical hook up never seems to go off or trip out.

Pitches are flat

Toilet block is clean, large and warm

The stream is good to for walking along into settle, (lots of wild garlic this time of year - smells fab) We spend lots of family days just hanging out by the stream, having picnics and playing in the water.

Settle is a nice market town with bakers/ tea room, fish and chips for a quick tea and a small supermarket

I can’t wait to return later in the year 10/10

Reviewer: Bigjon 1 review from this member

 There were 5 in are party me,the wife and the kids 2,5,7. We were in the top part of the site which is mainly for family's with a little play area we could see from the caravan, the kids loved it made lots of friends.

Pitches are of a good size, 16a hookup plenty of water, waste water and toilet points, security barrier for getting in and out

The rest of the site was clean tidy,toilet and shower block was great very clean, free hot showers, there is a shop which sells most stuff you would need milk, bread, papers, gas,

All in all a good site would go again

The road in to site is about 2miles out of settle, it is a bit narrow in places.

Reviewer: Clairecull 2 reviews from this member

 We visited this site early June this year and all in all had a lovely time, however to be honest at first we were disappointed, we had asked to be close to our friends who had booked within two hours of us and when we arrived at site we found that we were all separated due to the staff allowing the previous people to stay on a few more days so they could not let us have the pitches we had booked (in my eyes this was not fair), we also asked to be near the toilets and kids play area if possible (this they said was no problem) again we were disappointed as we could not have been further away, we were not told on phone that all pitches near kids area are not electric.

However saying that the river at the bottom of campsite (which is just over a small wall, but nothing to do with the site) made up for it all. The kids loved it catching small fish, skimming pebbles and jumping in the waterfalls it was brilliant. The river was particularly slow that week so care would have to be taken if it was flowing fast.

The scenery was fantastic and would go back again but would have to try and be closer to play area this time.

Reviewer: Jane+mark67 1 review from this member

 First time campers and we couldn't have picked a better site to go to. Beautiful surroundings, just next to the river. Lovely pitch just near to park for our 2 little ones (4 and 8).

Shop had just what we needed (milk and to freeze ice-packs), all the staff we met we helpful and pleasant. Toilet / shower block was clean and tidy, park was well maintained (just one squeaky swing which another camper sorted!).

Visited nearby Settle for food shopping and to watch football, found everything we needed. We went to this site based on reviews from this website and will now be searching for our next trip but think we'll be back here soon.

I think the weather helped us as we had the hottest week-end of the year (very lucky for us). To sum-up our first time camping trip, loved it and can't wait to go again.

Reviewer: Bigman61 1 review from this member

 We had been recommended to this site by more than one friend and we were not disappointed.

The site staff were very friendly and efficient. The facilities very clean and a small shop on site selling bits and pieces. A decent playground and games room to keep the kids busy and if that wasn't enough, walk to the bottom of the site and you can walk into Settle along the river.

Simply put, great staff / facilities and beautiful views of the valley.
