 We enjoyed a lovely long weekend at this site - it was busy, but the EHU pitches are away from the large camping field and are peaceful with lovely views. A lot of the 100 pitches are seasonal which were surprisingly quiet.

Even with lots of families on site, the layout is such that it has a tranquil atmosphere.

There's a nice central facilities block for which you need a code, all very clean and modern. There are only 3 ladies showers. , so you may meed to queue at busy times, but there are also private sink cubicles. The play area is between this and the big tent field so very convenient for families.

The scenery is fabulous all around and there's plenty of options for walking - a good choice of maps at reception along with basic provisions, sweets and ice creams.

It's just 2 miles into Settle and walkable or an easy cycle ride; most of the other campers were in tents, campervans or caravans - the lane is tight for larger motorhomes but doable if you avoid busy times. There's a good moho service point and plenty of water points. There's also a large enclosed dog walk with a wooded circuit.

Settle has pubs and cafes and a few interesting shops; there's a co-op for essentials and a large Booths just outside town which has a great selection of food and drink.

The river is just next door and great for swimming or paddling; the waterfall was fairly dry due to conditions but attracts big crowds of campers and locals at weekends.

The staff are fantastic - the site is family run and they clearly take great pride in it.

The Knights Table is open every day except Tuesday and has a great selection of drinks as well as serving delicious high quality food; we only managed one meal there as we were out and about a fair bit, but it was excellent, with home produced meat. They also serve brunch and tea and cakes.

We rarely return to sites but would certainly make and exception here.

 Very welcoming from the start, from arriving in the reception to the end of our stay.

Helpful, informative and polite.

Will be going back.

Toilet block was being renovated, but there was a shower available.

The cafe, restaurant was clean and inviting, the food was great.

 Pros

Lovely surroundings, clean facilities although we didn’t use them

Excellent restaurant

Site was well maintained and kept tidy.

Good sized pitches

Electric hook up and water tap convenient, with emptying point convenient.

General comments.

We were pitched in the rally field, which had a steep slope in places, so blocks required. Access requires care, do not arrive before 1pm as the entrance lane from Settle is bit narrow.

Cons

Other guests pitched in tents, playing very noisy football and cricket games up to 10. 15pm at night, with screaming and shouting and balls hitting people’s cars. They also allowed their dog to defacate on the grass area and didn’t clear it up.

Not sure if we’d come here again with all the noise and ball games. Customer service got 10/10 but we didn’t use them.

 Lovely site situated a few minutes from Stainforth Force. Really friendly staff on arrival to a beautiful site.

Nice little park close to the immaculate shower/toilet block which incorporated a laundry and 'pot wash'.

Electrics and water on the hardstanding pitches. Really nice restaurant on site (closed Tuesdays) which has a takeaway too.

Few miles to Settle for Booths Supermarket.

We will be returning!

 This is a well run site with a great restaurant and bar. We had two evening meals and a breakfast which were all delicious.

Access from the site to the river is very easy and quick and is perfect for children and dogs.

Knight Stainforth hall is situated in an ideal location for visiting the dales.

Chris and his family work incredibly hard to run such a lovely site.

We will definitely stay in knight stainforth hall again when visiting the area.

 Stayed here for four nights. We had a lovely time, Our pitch was good and level.

The food in the restaurant was great, but do book as it gets busy. They also have a good bar with good beer.

The washrooms are good, however the showers housed separately could do with modernising.

The walk into Settle is fairly easy and about 2 miles.

There is a bus service to Settle which has about three buses a day there and back. We also walked over to Feizor where there is a lovely tea room and cafe.

Reviewer: LornaB22 1 review from this member

 The campsite had plenty of space and didn't feel overcrowded at all. The pub on site is very handy, but booking is essential.

The location is excellent, very close to Settle and a great location for the Yorkshire Three Peaks.

Make sure to pay attention to signs that say not to follow the sat nav, as you will end up on a very narrow road and bridge.

Overall a nice campsite with basic facilities.

Reviewer: Myfanwy Couple 47 reviews from this member

 Nice site with good facilities, bigger than we would normally select but did not feel big.

Enjoyed our walk into Giggleswick and Settle along the River Ribble.

Lovely waterfall just outside site. Stainforth really pretty.

Do not follow your sat nav look out for and follow brown campsite signs when arriving.

Will recommend

Reviewer: Lizzibe 2 reviews from this member

 The campsite is a fantastic place to stay, the area is outstanding and beautiful, the amenities are 5+ as they are kept so clean and tidy, the staff are helpful and very friendly. The Knights Table is unbelievably clean, tidy, the food is outstanding and the chef and staff are helpful and very friendly and understanding to dietary needs.

Definitely returning have told friends family and work colleagues this is the best place to stay if your in the area.

Stayed in campervan with my dog, no problems, there where some children around last of the holidays but there seemed lots for them and it was so quiet and peaceful, the place seems popular with all people, tents, caravans, static holidays homes and regular staying caravaners, whom have said would not go anywhere else.

Reviewer: Watto1968 1 review from this member

 Spent 4 nights with a tent and electric hook up. I had been to the site 4 years previous before the new bar/café was open and enjoyed the stay then. The new facilities are excellent, only used the bar once but having eaten in the town of Settle the food in the new café looked very good, if not better than in the town.

Very friendly service from the staff throughout our stay, the views from the site of the surrounding area are beautiful and a walk down to the river is a must.

We were a party of 8 adults in all and the site is very family friendly so we did find that we had to keep our noise and such to an expectable level, which is only fair to other users.

The site is 2 miles down a narrow road from the town of Settle which is a beautiful little town with good shops, pubs and places to eat. We would love to return to Knight Stainforth sometime in the future with our grandson and know we all would enjoy the stay. Excellent site and I can`t recommend it highly enough. A+ 5 star.

 I spent 2 nights over the Wed 4th to Fri 6th of July 2018. The reception is next to the bar and restaurant, I was greeted by very friendly staff, who provided me with a sitemap and where my pitch was located along with the key code which is needed to access the facilities and enter/exit the site. The pitches are very flat and a good size with nearby access to a fresh water supply.

The services are immaculate with good hot showers, good sized washroom and wash-up area with laundrette.

The evening meals in the restaurant are excellent, though it is wise to book a table as it is very popular. The bar offers a very nice local real ale and the staff provide an excellent service, nothing was too much trouble.

The site is well managed and quiet, with easy access to Settle either a very pleasant summer walk along the river or a short drive.

If walking in the area or just visiting, I would highly recommend this site, even just for a short stay. I will definitely be returning for a longer stay next time.

Reviewer: Jimuck 4 reviews from this member

 Excellent site with great facilities although at busy times you had to queue for showers. Scenery breath-taking, dog friendly(including on site restaurant) and everything a family could want in a campsite.

Only stayed one night but will definitely be back and for longer next time! 


Date of Visit: August 2017 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Chris tomes 8 reviews from this member

 We had a family visit for two days with two adults and two children, 10 and 7. We were unlucky with the middle day when it rained, so we went to Settle and took the train to Leeds and back. The railway station is three miles away which is just practical to walk to providing you are used to a bit of exercise.

It is very handy having the Knights Table on site, and we had a good meal there. The views from the site of the surrounding hills are unspoilt and it is very convenient for anyone walking in the three peaks area.

My only issue is that the sanitary facilities are not quite numerous enough for the number of people who can be staying on the site when it is busy. At certain times of day people can queue. Ideally they would have a second toilet and shower block.

Other than that it is a tidy site, with good facilities fro children, refreshments and shop in a great location.

 Large site we were top corner of a non electric field with a slope, no real issues, facilities clean and plentiful,

Nice walk to settle from the site, I had to follow the road as I had a push chair to contend with,

On site bar/restaurant looked quite new when we visited and was very nice, lovely to sit outside and overlook the site

 This site has very good facilities and also a café with food a cut above the average at a reasonable price. Been twice to this site now over the past three years and would have no hesitation in going again.
