 Pleasant site with the added benefit of a Cafe and Bar. We stayed on a large level fully serviced pitch only downside TV signal and WiFi was a bit iffy at times.
The main facilities block was a little dated with no benches in the showers, their is another more modern block but was often full for obvious reasons.
Nice friendly wardens who keep the site immaculate.
Lots to do in the area including Knaresborough, Harrogate, York and Pateley Bridge, definitely an area to return too.

The site is a few miles to the east of Knaresborough itself but I believe there is a bus stop outside the site.
We had a lovely welcome from the warden and had no trouble finding a pitch. It is a neat site with a cafe and I wish we could have had more time to explore.
We will go back for longer next time as we only had a one night stopover on our way up North.
Nothing negative to report at all.

The site is modern, neat and tidy as you’d expect from a CAMC site. Facilities good and road access fine even if up a steep hill from the A1M.
The site benefits from a nice little on site cafe/ bar doing pub grub, only grumble was we had pie but no gravy, suppose we should have asked, it was rather dry, shame.
We only stayed one night which was free as a surprise gift from the club to its members. Otherwise it would have cost maybe £34-£38 per night even in October.
A good stopover for us on way up to Scotland.

First time back to this site for a few years, as it is somewhat expensive. However, had a free night due to booking before 31st December last year so it was more affordable.
The facilities were excellent. The staff were very friendly. You may need chocks for some of the pitches as some of them do slope.
The café/bar is open from 3-8 pm at the moment from Sunday to Wednesday.
It’s about a 45 minute walk into Knaresborough, depending on your level of fitness. Parking in the long stay car park is very reasonable at £1. 60 for the day. Wednesday is market day with a number of interesting stalls.
The riverside has a number of interesting walks. There are regular buses into Harrogate from Knaresborough-up to 5 an hour and from there you have many options to venture further should you so wish.
The television signal was very good. Didn’t use the free Wifi as the signal wasn’t very good. The mobile phone signal was good so I used it as a personal hotspot to access the internet.
Overall a very enjoyable stay.

As a CAMC site, it is quite well laid out, very clean and tidy, and well maintained. There are two amenities blocks (quite close together) and a couple of service points. There are also a number of fully serviced pitches.
The site lacks visual appeal. The number and size of grey hardstand pitches made it look bare. There are plenty of trees around the edges, screening the site from the outside, but few trees at all within the site itself.
The pitches in the main part of the site had hedging dividing them into groups of 3 or 4. There is no planting between the pitches in the serviced pitches part.
There is a reasonable area set aside for a dog walk where dogs can be off lead which is very useful with a young, energetic dog.
We think that this site is a bit expensive at over £30 per night for midweek in low season.

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. Find out more here

Arriving at reception warden was helpful and welcoming. Explained where the motorhome point was and to choose a pitch and let him know the number.
Pitches are very large, level and tidy.
The whole site is well ordered and very clean. There are two utility blocks and were clean and warm even late at night.
There is a bistro on site but we did not take advantage of it.
We visited Fountains Abby, not too far away with suitable parking for motorhomes.
There is a bus stop outside the entrance and we caught a bus into Knaresborough a very small cute town and the castle is worth a visit.
And yes there is a wool shop, my wife can always find them!
All in all a good site and well worth a visit. We will return.

Stayed for one night while picking up new motorhome.
Got a takeaway from the on site bistro which was excellent.
Arrived in the dark and left next morning so didn't get chance to have a good look round but as usual the facilities on these club sites were very good.

Stayed here for 2 nights with our hired camper van, was told 2 different prices and paid a different price on arrival.
We went out for the day only to have our pitch given away so we had to move pitch and be told it was our fault.
Staff were very rude think because we were non members we were treated differently

Lovely quiet site, nice grounds and good restaurant/ takeaway on site which we used a couple of times. Good sized pitches. Good, clean facilities and there is an emergency loo available while the main facilities are being cleaned. Very pleasant and helpful staff. There is small fenced off play area for children at the top end of the site.
Bus stops outside to Harrogate, Ripon, and Knaresborough town. About 40 min walk into knaresborough along paved road. Although a longer hour and half approx walk through Nidd Gorge. Beautiful walk but a couple of steep inclines. Take it nice and easy and its a much more pleasant walk than the road.
The campsite is actually located in Scotton with the Guy Fawkes Arms just over 5 mins walk away, serving excellent food. The only downside to the site is that, unlike some other sites, they have no shop for basic and essential needs such as milk, bread etc (we appreciate during Covid its difficult for some sites to have this available), however, there is no local shops in Scotton so you need to keep on top of your own supplies. It would be ideal if there was a occasional van visit from a nearby supplier with basic supplies. I'm sure this would be welcomed by guests.
Knaresborough is a really lovely market town with lovely river views from the top by the castle. Can highly recommend the Mitre pub next door to the railway station. Excellent food. Mother Shiptons Caves are on the edge of the town and worth a visit.
We will most definitely return to this campsite.

Booked last thing and managed to get two nights at Knaresborough before going on to Whitby. From the time we entered the site, we were impressed.
The wardens were polite and helpful, the pitches looked immaculate, the campsite looked well maintained, and the facilities, whilst reduced, were spotless.
One of the best CMC sites we have stayed on.
Didn't use the bar on site, but had a takeaway pizza which was gorgeous. 40m walk by road to Knaresborough, or an 80m walk via Nidds Gorge.
Lovely town, vibrant and has good connections to Harrogate - bus every 7 mins. Bus stop outside entrance to York and to Knaresborugh.
Will certainly return when we are heading North.
