 Lovely peaceful site. We were in a corner of a beautiful field with buttercups.
Very quiet and relaxing.
Toilets and shower were very clean.
We had trouble booking by email, it's best to phone.
Would highly recommend.

This is a lovely CL & as other reviewers have said, there is also a separate 3 van site where you do not need to be members of the CMHC.
For anyone who is new to caravanning or not particularly confident about towing/pitching, this site is great. The road through Farnham was good; the entrance to the site is wide & the pitches are laid out so that you can pitch on the grass without having to reverse if you so chose. Pitches were level so no need for chocks.
We had to go search for Graham on arrival, he was in the middle of cooking Sunday lunch but told us to pitch where we wanted & he would catch up with us later. We chose a hardstanding as the weather looked a bit iffy; we were allowed to use a groundsheet but they are not permitted on grass pitches. True to his word, Graham came to check on us about an hour later, showed us around, told us how things worked & provided lots of info about the local area.
The facilities were clean with toiletries provided; the shower is one of the most spacious we have experienced on a CL. The chemical waste is up 5 steps but we were ok with that.
The surrounding area has something for everyone. We walked into Scotton but didn’t get chance to visit the pub. Disappointingly, some of the footpaths through the fields were impassable. We carried on past the CMHC site & continued into Knaresbro walking through the beautiful Nidd Gorge. We visited Harrogate & Boroughbridge, we cycled along the Nidd greenway, traffic free all the way into Ripley & we visited Harewood to do the Emmerdale tour.
Happy to recommend Port Arthur Farm, thanks for a lovely stay,

Yet another great stay at Port Arthur.
So quiet and peaceful and so much to do in the area.
Good choice of walks right from the site
As always Graham is a very good host and always has time for a chat.
Hope to be back again soon.

Enjoyed a 3 x night stay at Port Arthur Farm recently.
Beautiful secluded location with electric hook up and good shower facilities.
Would certainly recommend as a place to stay.

This is a lovely little site. I was originally booked to stay on the 3-van overspill but with the forecast snow everyone else cried off and I ended up with the CL to myself for 2 nights!
Port Arthur Farm is a well maintained site with plenty of space, the loo and shower block were pristine (if a little chilly, but then if you will camp in a snowstorm what do you expect?)
It's a 2. 5 mile walk to Knaresborough with lots of footpath options, and a bus back to the village if your legs are weary.
Peaceful location with a friendly, helpful owner - couldn't ask for more.

Chose this site for 3 reasons:-
Not far from home
Location (near Harrogate & Knaresborough
Adult only
Easy to book on phone, no advance payment required just rock up, choose whatever pitch is available, payment by cash/cheque in an honesty box in the shower/ toilet block (recently increased to £23 pn inc EHU).
No personal contact whatsoever with the owner which we found a little strange but ok.
Facilities are ok, unisex single toilet and unisex combined toilet /shower. Both clean, situated in a shed type structure so was a little cold at this time of year (January) but managed ok…. Electric shower which was lovely and hot.
One single water point and grey waste next to that, Elsan point next to the toilet block as were the waste disposal bins.
The area is lovely if you’re an ‘outside’ person - lots of walks and cycling is good on reasonably quiet country roads. Would definitely recommend an OS map for both though.
There are pubs locally but nearest is probably 20 minutes walk.
Nearest supermarket 2 miles.

We stayed 3 nights at Port Aurthur Fm caravan park,
The site is well maintained, with hard standing and some full service pitches Easy access,
The location is great for walking and exploring the area by car.
Knaresborough a good walk, with a little road (paths) walking and a beautiful woodland walk.
Also it's a lovely walk over the fields to Brearton where we had sunday lunch, the food was great, its quite busy on a sunday so I'd recommend you book a place.

It’s just a shame there’s not a local pub on the doorstep
Thanks again Graham

This site is pretty much exactly what a CL site should be.
The laid back owner showed us to our pitch, pointed out all the amenities and said we could use the fields alongside the site to walk our dogs.
The site is adult only, level, with lush grass and two or three hard standing pitches, excellent ehu and a heated utility block housing a sink, couple of toilets and shower (free).
It is very quiet here and ideally located for exploring Knaresborough, Harrogate, Ripon, Skipton and the Nth Yorkshire moors.
It is the opposite of those horribly regimented C&CC sites and we’ll happily come back if we’re up this way again.

Lovely site, nice and peaceful,
5CL site was fully booked so stayed on 3 van site,
Toilets and showers both good, just needs a few signs up to show where grey waste and chemical waste needs emptying.
Loads of space for each plot,
Nice walks close by and only 1. 5 miles from Knaresborough town centre.
