 First visit under new owners, not much has changed except the price a whopping £24 for vw camper and awning & electric they said we were two units (van + awning) yet a large tent and car would be about £6 less.
Showers ok , toilets clean but not enough only 3 in ladies.
Site prone to flooding as right next to river
Near 2 great pubs with good food and excellent ales

This was our 4th visit to this site.Situated in a wonderfull location by the river . We had a great time walking ,visiting Burnsall, Bolton Abbey and Grassington and couldn't keep the kids out of the river even in the rain! There are lots of other things to do in the area but the kids are quite happy to play around the site and a march up the steep hill opposite the site is a must for the view!
But and it is a BIG but the site was very noisy.For the first 2 nights we could hardly sleep because of loud music/tv noise and barking dogs. People were sat with car radios belting out music .One dog barked all night and when I went to complain the next evening the office had been closed with no one on site to sort it out until the next day (note on door!) . We loved this site and it really spoiled our holiday ,we did have 2 quiet nights out of 5 (I think I would have slept through an earthquake on the third night I was so tired , so it might have been noisy for all I know). The kids were very tired because they couldn't sleep. On the last night half the campsite flooded and people were having to move but yet again the office was closed until the following morning, so I don't know who they were supposed to go to for help . Such a shame as we really want to go back. But its pricey for a basic site and if the new owners cant keep a check on the noise then I am afraid we will be going elsewhere.
I must point out that when it is quiet it is perfect!

Did 4 nights on Mason's farm. Great site in a lovely surrounding.
The river at the back was great and the kids loved it. The views were superb and we spotted 3 deer just on the other side of the the river at the back first thing one morning.
The showers were better than I had expected from reviews although the site was busy, so queues were likely at peak times.
The mobile shop was excellent and very handy for fresh milk, bread and papers each morning.
Tested the two pubs with a walk and both were excellent and the food was spot on.
After testing the two pubs extensively, I took on the hill at the front of the site which provided a nice challenge when I climbed the peak during the one big storm we had. The view from up there was something special even though I was a drowned rat and had to take cover behind a wall until the sun baked us again.
The only gripe was it was a tad expensive at £19.50 for a family tent.

We have just got back from a two night stay at Masons. We chose this site from recommendation from friends and from reading the reviews. We used sat nav to get us there, I don't think we would have found it otherwise. It really is in the middle of nowhere. The villages nearby are so picturesque.
The site is basic, showers basic, wet and hot. Toilets basic, no hand towels or dryers. The site owners are friendly. The site is a two minutes stroll away from the River Wharf which the kids can paddle in, swim in, and you can also fish in for a small charge.
We had a mix of weather from brilliant sunshine where we were getting a tan to horrendous downpour - what a giggle, and our tent stayed up and dry! On the site there isn't anything to do for the children, but with the river so close by and also there is a huge field to play in.
We will be returning soon - hopefully with friends to add to the enjoyment!

We arrived Friday night and managed to pitch 3 tents before the rain set in! Saturday much better weather and improved all the time. Site clean, tidy and very well situated. All 5 showers were working, and although pressure low, water always hot.
Hand dryer in the toilets would be a useful addition. Toilets / showers all clean. Noisy neighbours dealt with efficiently by eviction, much to relief of others!
Mobile shop each morning a great idea, not overpriced either. Recyling a must, others should learn from this as not difficult to implement. Two local pubs were really good, good range of real ales on tap, food was really yummy, all home cooked. Fantastic area, fabulous views! Had a really nice time, will come back.

Second visit to this site.The new owners seem much more relaxed and helpful than our previous visit.We were a group of 20 with 9 pre teen kids who all love the site and nearby river.
The facilities were fairly basic but always clean and available.No queuing for the showers.
This is a great family site in a fantastic location. We will be back.

Just come back from the weekend here. I have a broken leg and am on crutches. The facilities were basic but very clean. Disabled facilities were great for me. Nice flat site. Lovely soap and hand cream in the loos but need something to dry hands on. Weather was very wet and toilet area got very wet under foot.
Gang had a lovely walk to Burnsall, (managed quite well by a 5 and 7 year old in the pouring rain). Food at New Inn was great. Pub was busy, probably due to weather but food was timely.
Would visit again, hopefully with better weather. Owners were always very helpful in person and on the phone.

Stayed here after reading reviews on this site, and weren't disappointed.
The site is basic; with only 4 showers, a small indoor cleaning area and seperate toilet block but having said all of that we never waited for a shower, always had access to the cleaning area and everything was tidy.
Our electric pitch was spacious - our 4 man dome tent and car fitted easily in the space. Other campers were adjacent and to be fair closer than we usually get, but it wasn't an issue.
The best thing about the site is the area; at the bottom of the site is the river Wharfe; a fantastic place for walking along and children to play in - ideal for dinge's. Bolton abbey is worth a visit - £5.50 to park, but the area is open till 9 and is massive, once again the river, large open playing areas, the ability to have barbecues - you can spen the whole day there.
My only 'complaint' is in relation to control of dogs on the site (the issue isn't specific to this site, its a common problem). I have nothing against dogs or people that own them, but they have to be controlled. Most sites have an 'on lead' policy - though some owners ignore this; I lost count of the times I had to pick up our 15 month old son; a one strike and your out rule should apply to all sites - dog found off the lead kick the campers out.

We only stayed for 1 night, as our 3yr old hadn't been camping before and we wanted to have a trial run before our main camping trip this year. It was a very positive one. The campsite was just the perfect, although there was'nt a playground for kids the campsit was full of families and our kids just enjoyed the company of other kids playing football, rounders as there was a large space in the middle of the tents.
The atmosphere was lovely and there was lots of chit chat amoung fellow campers. The toilet block is dated but it does the job, very clean and lots of hot water, even though it was busy. Washing up facilties were good.
There are 2 pubs nearby both wonderful. We didn't need a shop as we took all our provisions, but the camp has charcoal, and other bits and bobs, not food.
The owners were about quite alot and very friendly and accomodating. You have to park your car away from your tent, this was good as it resticted movement of cars and no car streos could be played!
Grassington is not far and its a fantastic village. We will be returning very soon as this is a great week end retreat.

Just returned from a fantastic weeks camping at masons.
I would strongly disagree with the two highly negative and stroppy comments below. The facillities were very clean throughout our stay, and as far as hot water was concerned the owners coped very well considering that the first time the boiler broke was on a bank holiday when no plumber was available. During the brief intervals hot water was available we were informed and it wouldnt be camping if every day luxuries that are taken for granted are on tap.
The bins were emptied three times during our stay and wereonly full to the brim once. Masons is the first campsite that I have ever been to where a recycling system has been implemented and actually works. All in all a fantastic week in great surroundings and on a great site.

First time visiting this site.
Really enjoyed the whole stay, impressed with how helpful and enthusiastic the new owners were.
All facilities on the site were very good and even the smallest problem was dealt with quickly and efficiently.
Surrounding area great for walking with good pub food easily accessible.
Will definitely be visiting again

Just returned home from Appletreewick refreshed and ready for another camping trip. The site is clean and tidy and set in a beautiful location.
Although the campsite was busy the atmosphere was relaxed and the people on site were friendly. The toilet facilities were spotless and there was even a dressing table and plug socket for my hair straightners!
It's just 5 minutes drive or 15 minutes walk to the Red Lion at Burnsell where we had an unbelievable smoked haddock and poached egg starter which was a nice surprise.
I forgot to pack my bed inflater but was pleased to find the camping shop on site which sorted out my problem at a reasonable price.
Definately worth a visit.

Just returned from a visit to Mason's Campsite. We love going here what a fantastic location for a camp site, the views are amazing. The new owners are so friendly and enthusiastic and couldn't do enough to help us.
We have visited here in previous years before it was taken over and I must say there has been a massive improvement to the facilities they were so clean.
The staff make regular checks to make sure there is enough toilet roll etc. There are some cool pictures around which makes it feel really relaxed and friendly and there is even really nice handwash in the toilets!(How often do you see that at campsites)
They have a little shop where you can buy things like disposable bbq's sleeping bags, airbeds etc. I was really grateful because when I blew my airbed up it had a hole in it!
We had a lovely walk along the river to the Red Lion at Burnsell and it only took 15 minutes. There are 2 other pubs just 2 minutes walk away that serve lovely food too.
We can't wait to come back in August lets just hope the weather holds out!

Just returned from a fantastic weekend up at Masons campsite ATW. My family and I have been coming up to to the site for many years. Its still as beautiful and relaxed as ever.
Recently been taken over by a young and friendly couple. They have really transformed the facilities. Giving it a really vibrant atmosphere. Love the pictures in the wash room!
Would recommend to all. From families to couples.
Two very good pubs up the road. Good Yorkshire Pub Food and a great wide variety of beers. Book in advance because they are always in demand. But its worth the wait.
All the best to the new owners Georgie and Grant your definitely on the right road.
See you in summer.

I visit Mason's Campsite last year and could not wait to get back there this year. The campsite is situated in an amazing location within walking distance of all you need when camping.
When arriving at the campsite I was greeted by a young enthusiastic new owner who was very helpful and informative about the site and the area around it.
After pitching my tent down by the river I went back to the shower and toilet block which had been refurbished to a nice standard with some lovely pictures in there of camping scenes.
I had a great weekend there and would definitely recommend a visit to anyone who has not been before or not been this year.
One definitely not to miss!
