Stayed for 1 night passing through. Small, quirky site with mainly static vans. Canal adjacent which was good for walking the dog along the towpath. Warehouse behind site but was no bother. Facilities quite basic but clean and tidy. Fred, the owner very helpful. Visiting swans were interesting! Good location for visiting Malham and surrounding area.

Great little site, facilities dated but very clean & serviceable, handy 5 minute walk in to village couple of pubs and an Indian good food, coop for the bits you have forgot. Just a pity about the wet Yorkshire welcome.

Stayed here for a couple of nights to meet up with friends and socialise in Skipton! Public transport is a bit adhoc but cheap enough to get a taxi into Skipton.
Site was quiet and clean. Not well signposted to the office to pay but that was the one and only negative we could find.
2 pubs in the village (short walk away) and the small café did a reasonable breakfast.
Will definitely visit again for a weekend break.

We have been to this site several times as we love the relaxed feeling. Fred/covey is friendly, welcoming and very helpful. At only £20 per night this is an absolute bargain. Yes its next to a working warehouse but that doesn't interfere with the place. The facilities are basic but very clean and nothing to deter anybody from visiting this site. This site is in a great location and is absolutely charming. We are looking forward to our next visit. !

This is a great site in a fantastic location. The owner Fred has hands on and is around all day and is very helpful and friendly. I do agree with many of the other reviews regarding the facilities. They are kept spotless but they are in urgent need of an update. The fact that the chemical disposal is inside both the ladies and gents toilets creates an unpleasant aroma. Both the toilet and showers (separate buildings)are somewhat cramped. Whilst it was October the site was full at the weekend and vans were parked too close together. I agree with others that with the current situation of toilets / showers £20 is a bit on the steep side. With some renovation this would without doubt become a five star site.

We picked the site because our daughter wanted to have a day at Yarndale in Skipton livestock Market. We stayed on this site for the weekend, On arrival we were greeted by Fred on his scooter and have to say what a character, A very down to earth Yorkshireman, extremely helpful and friendly. It’s a fab location whether you just want to walk into Gargrave that has plenty of shops pubs and Cafes or as we did, It’s a lovely walk along the canal in to Skipton. Tv signal was ok for us. Wendy my wife loved everything about the site from the ducks to the old fashioned toilets which were very clean and yes he likes to get plenty of caravans on. When I was parking the caravan up, Wendy said to Fred Do you want him to get closer to the next caravan. Fred said no I can squeeze another one in there, Space is money you know but he didn’t. We like plenty of space and didn’t feel closed in. Most of the people we spoke too were regulars and It’s one site that we will definitely go back to

The owner's of this site are so helpful and friendly and very accommodating. When we arrived it had been raining and the ground was a little wet so the owner sited us right next to the canal (after checking if this was ok with us). We were on hard-standing with all the facilities on tap which was great. We had a fantastic view up and down the canal and got a birds eye view of the little boats coming through the canal lock - we could literally feed the swans/ducks from the camper window, which was great.
The toilet block and showers were kept scrupulously clean and although I've read previous comments about them possibly wanting updating, I felt that they added to the charm of the place.
The site is a mixture of statics and caravans. There is a grassed area which is used for motorhomes and also for tents to pitch. There's an additional courtyard type area located next to the canal which is where we camped our motorhome the last time we stayed. This was the second time we've camped here. The first time the weather was gorgeous and we placed our motorhome on the grass area. The pitches are plenty big enough and I think that the charge of £20 a night is fab when you get all the facilities thrown in.
Gargrave village is only a 5 minute walk away and has a pretty river running alongside it with picnic areas and stepping stones across the river. There's a bridge that leads to a little church and a there are a couple of pubs that do lovely meals, as well as a fish & chip shop, an 'Olde Sweet Shope', small art gallery etc. (there's also a very handy co-op for supplies).
Although I wouldn't say that this site was geared specifically towards children (although there's plenty of grass for them to play on), there is plenty for them to do in the immediate surrounding area, and although we only ever do 'short stays' because of work commitments - with a bit of planning it would be the perfect base to explore.
The whole area is brilliant, you can cycle or walk into Skipton along the canal path (or catch the bus). There are various walks/pathways/towns nearby.
It's a friendly campsite in the middle of the country-side, only a 5 minute walk away from the nearest quaint little Yorkshire village. We'll definitely be back again.

After driving to Skipton for the day, my husband and I decided to stay over and were given a list of local sites from the tourist information office. The closest was The Craven Heifer which I rang and was very rudely told they weren't taking any bookings for the night as they were closed.
I then rang Eshton and said we only needed a place to pitch our van and a pub to have a meal in.
The owner said they would find us a spot and recommended somewhere to eat.
We turned up to find Fred mowing the grass and he showed us the pitch at the side of the house. He also told us the best food could be found at The Masons Arms and he wasn't wrong.
I had slow cooked pork belly, black pudding, crispy smoked bacon and whole grain mash, all for under a tenner. In a swanky city restaurant it would probably have cost double.
We were very grateful of the last minute booking but thought 20 quid a little steep for the location of the pitch as it was literally at the side of the owners house and within earshot of the road. And also the facilities were dated, however they were very clean. Didn't see a play area and site is on a reasonably busy road.
Owners lovely, location opposite canal good for walking and very nice pub.

Just had 2 nights at this site, it is only a small site but the chap that greeted us on arrival was very cheerful and helpful he asked use to park in the car park as it was very wet ( not a problem ) the toilets were spotless even on a very wet weekend as were the showers with plenty hot water and no push buttons either. It is a basic campsite all you need and nothing you don't. The location is great on the edge of Gargrave village with good pubs ( The Old Swan ) with good beers and great food and even the dog is very welcome and a Co-op for all your food and drink needs. ALL in all we had a great weekend and will be back later this year.

Site is close to the canal, which is great, previous comment of very clean is correct, but felt the toilet black and showers are in need of of updating. Toilets were rather tight and like a previous comment, I was pleased I was only small. The site is a mixture of statics and non touring caravans. There is a grassed area which I suppose would be used for tourers in the main season. There are tent pitches but they seemed to be on the grass in front of a property. Our pitch was very small with 2 camper vans sharing it. We were charged £20 a night which I thought was a touch steep!
Had a lovely meal at the Swan, staff were brilliant, the Masons was also great. The whole area is brilliant we walked into Skipton along the canal path which took us 1hour 45 mins.
Gargrave is also lovely and is only 5 minutes walk away.
I wouldn't like to stay on the site for longer than a couple of days, but would go back for the occasional night.
