Date of Visit: August 2006 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Travel Bug 14 reviews from this member

 We stayed with friends over the August Bank holiday. Site was very busy as the overflow field was being used.
 
The showers and toilets were very nice and the cleanest I`ve seen but very busy due to it being a Bank Holiday. The owners really worked hard to keep everything spotless, I went to the toilet at 10.30 pm in the pouring rain and they were still working hard to maintain their standards.
 
When we arrived I noticed a smell from the nearby pig farm but I didn`t notice it for the next 3 days, I have a very ken sense of smell so I think it`s  not always noticeable.
 
The site is very nice and only a 15 min walk to Masham which is a lovely town.Owners are very friendly. A lot of work has been put into this site and it shows.
 
We had a fantastic time but did feel that the pitched were small because we went with friends and had pitches next to one another we were ok but had we been on our own I think we would have felt uncomfatable.
 
We will return again in the near future but it will be at a quieter time and with friends in case the pitches are as small.

Reviewer: Alixatplay 4 reviews from this member

 Lovely site that we will definitely be returning to.  The location of this site is ideal for walking into Masham (takes about 15 mins) and for visiting other surrounding villages. It's a very peaceful area and after a busy week at work is just what you need.
 
The site was quite full when we arrived and the lady on reception led us to the camping area at the far end of the site. The main camping and caravan area is quite formal in lines however the field at the end is a horseshoe shape and no pitches are actually marked out. This means that it feels quite random where you end up. We pitched on a fairly flat bit near the bottom of the horse shoe behind the "hump" which meant we weren't under the trees. There had been some rain before we got there but the ground wasn't saturated which indicates that the drainage is good.
 
The facilities on the site, like other reviewers have indicated, are superb. Very clean and well presented and the washing up area is also rather handy! Free showers are a bonus too and the water is lovely and hot after the first 3 seconds of freezing cold!
 
Very good value for money, it cost us £9.00 for 2 adults and one car for one night.
 
We will definitely be going back.

 Toilets are spotless.  Site is run efficiently and owner is very friendly.  Brilliant location, only downside is that pitches are small, so neighbours are very close, particularly when site is full at weekends.  Will be going back in the near future though.

Reviewer: Marshams 6 reviews from this member

 Great site with lovely clean facilities.  Owners were very friendly and helpful.  As stated in other reviews,the space was limited as it was a busy weekend.
 
It was about a half a mile walk into Masham which had a variety of Pubs and places to eat.  We also visited the Black Sheep Brewery which was worthwhile.
 
Overall great site with potential to develop further if more land is acquired.

Reviewer: Familygreenwood 2 reviews from this member

 Lovely site - not too big.
The site is mainly caravans with a smaller area for tents.
The toilets & showers are amazing - I have never seen facilities so clean on a site before.
Convenient base for exploring Masham (and its breweries), and the eastern Dales area.

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: Helencree 12 reviews from this member

 A lovely clean site, the toilet / shower block and washing up facilities were spotless.
The children had lots of fun in the surrounding grounds and went on lots of adventures when they weren't riding their bikes round and round the path!
My only problem (although we managed very well!) was our pitch was too small - we had booked 3 pitches for a motor home and 2 large tents. We managed because we pitched one tent in front of the Motor home and when we went out we used their 7 seater car.

 We stayed at this site on a weekend at the end of July and it was extremely busy. The reception was well laid out and stocked with the basic food items you would expect. The reception also serves as a cafe which serves breakfast at weekends. 
The owners were very pleasant and showed us to our pitch on arrival. This is where there was a problem. We had booked two large tent pitches for our party  which were not big enough at all. We were pitched within two feet of another tent on either side. It just seemed a little too crammed in. However the owner did inform us that he was looking at resizing the pitches in future. It was only on the quieter Sunday night when the site was less busy, you could see how pretty it was.
Apart from that, the site is very level with hook up available and very cheap. £27 for 3 nights for tent, 2 adults, child and car is excellent. The toilet blocks and showers were very clean and well maintained and some interesting photos in reception show the sites development.
The site makes an excellent base as Masham is nearby as is Lightwater Valley.
Overall if pitch size was improved then we would return here as it is a good site in a beautiful area.

 We have just come back from the Old Station Holiday Park and found it a really nice site. It has a lovely family who all muck in and run it and the nicest toilets, shower block and wash up area that I have seen so far. My only little moan would have to be that the pitch sizes are a bit small and a caravan was parked slightly onto the pitch that we were given which meant that they could have plenty of room to get their car , awning and caravan on their pitch whereas we had to squeeze our trailer between our tent and their caravan and put our car in a car park elsewhere. Admittedly our tent is quite big but we have never had a problem in the past and there are a lot more bigger tents around nowadays. However all in all we had a lovely weekend there and I would state we have a large tent if I was to go there again.

 Lovely site, very friendly and helpful owners, really chilled, peaceful atmosphere, handy shop, clean and modern shower / toilet block Excellent local facilities.
Mix of caravans and tents with electric hookups, but did no-one else notice the over-powering smell from the pig-farm next door? 


Date of Visit: July 2006 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Davidmann 12 reviews from this member

 Was impressed by the campsite when visited on a Thursday and Friday night in July. Staff were welcoming to the site and very helpful.
 
The toilet and shower facilities were of a very high standard and the park's proximity to Masham is a very good feature.
 
I found that the pitches were a little too close together for comfort. But, I would definitely return.

Date of Visit: May 2006 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Julie+mark 5 reviews from this member

 We received a very warm welcome on our arrive which is always a nice start to your weekend. As we set up there was always the owners there on hand to make sure all was OK. I think you can always tell how good a park is by how quick it fills-up on a Friday. Although this is not a big park there was a steady stream of caravans and tents to take up every pitch for the weekend.

There has been a lot of work done to this park, which can be seen by the spotless shower bloke. You can also tell that the owners are looking to improve even further by more work on the reception area. Inside the reception there is a small shop selling milk, cold drinks and a view things to keep the kids happy but not a lot of every day items. Not sure if there was a lot to do for children there, our daughter and her friend (both 12) just wondered round the site. The only bad point was that the pitch we had was a bit on the small size. Once we set-up the caravan and put-up awning there was no were to park the car. But there was ample parking outside the reception area just a 2-minute walk.

Nearest town Masham was just a 10-minute walk down the road, or take the local bus service that stopped out side the campsite. Taking the car into Masham was no problem as there was plenty of parking in the Market place or on the recreation ground on your right as you enter the town. There is a Farmers Market on Saturdays and you never know what will turn-up in the Market Place on Sundays. We had an American Car club turn up while we were there. There are a couple of places that are a must to visit. For the gents the Black Sheep Brewery visitors centre in Masham and for the ladies Brymor Real Dairy Ice Cream Parlour, 2 miles out side Masham on the road to Leyburn. Local events to look out for: Black Sheep Music Festival (16-18 June), White Bear Midsummer Beer Festival (23-25 June) and Masham Steam Rally (15-16 July).

All in all a great place to visit for a quite weekend and a tour of the local area.

Reviewer: Rowland Rat 1 review from this member

 This campsite is very good. So good I'm reluctant to tell you about it. We had three fantastic days with the first good weather of 2006. The toilets and showers are beautiful and the the pitches are spacious. The site is very peaceful even with the building work in the next field. The people who run it are very friendly and are trying to improve it with a tea room, which is coming shortly. 

The walk in to Masham takes about 12 mins on foot with plenty of drinking and eating places. The public foot paths are quite well marked for the walkers and ramblers. If you want a quiet couple of days away without the children (nothing for them to do), with a nice pint at the end of day this is the campsite to use.

Reviewer: Itchyfeet1 20 reviews from this member

 What a find. Nice flat ground, lovely setting and cheap too. Toilets are the business, as already reported but well worth another mention. The owners cannot do enough for you. As for Masham, it's about a mile,or 20 mins away, and for me this was like heaven on earth ---TWO BREWERIES! The Black Sheep brewery and Theakston, creators of the worlds finest ale- Old Peculiar. Add to this 5 more pubs and you have what a lot of real campers prefer to scaling mountains at unearthly times of the morning when some of us are trying to sleep. We will return here in future when we want another good weekend.

Reviewer: Alex Wheeler 2 reviews from this member

 What a fantastic little site! Very friendly, very quiet - only 2 caravans & 1 other tent during the 4 days we were there. Tent area is sheltered, which considering the gales that blew was definitely a bonus. As everyone has mentioned, the toilet block is heated and spotless, with ample supply of free hot water, and girls, free hairdryer! No more holidays with a permanent windswept look!

The owners are getting on well with the new reception and cafe/shop on the site which I'm sure will go down a treat.

The walk into the village is on pavements which is safer for small children (and merry adults!). Beavers sausage shop is definitely to be recommended for the amazing array of what they can make sausages from - wild boar, venison, oh and pork for the unadventurous. White Bear does good selection of food, terrific desserts, and of course, lush beer, with real open fire.

Will definitely be back so can enjoy brewery tours and sample some more pubs, the music festival and beer festival in June and of course, enjoy another stay in this peaceful camp site.

Reviewer: Fluff22 1 review from this member

 We stopped at this site for 2 nights, its a nice little site if you want somewhere peaceful. The family who run it are very helpful and friendly, most places ive been to just take your money and leave you to get on with it. these people want to help you.

The prices are very good, i don't know how they make a profit. It cost me £20.00 per night for a large tent, with electric hook up, 2 cars, 3 adults, 3 children, and the dog. where can you beat that. They are still working on the site to improve it further. You can walk in to Masham, drive to many market towns such as Thirsk, richmond,middleham, layburn, ripon, bedale. all nice little towns within 15 miles from site.

As other people have said the toilet and shower block is very clean, with free hot water.
