 We decided to stay at Riverside as a result of the various awards it had won with the CCC, and because of its proximity to Skipton. First impressions were not as we had hoped as we travelled down a bumpy entrance road to the site.
The owner was on holiday, so we were met (outside a building that said Reception but was in fact the dishwashing area) by the owner’s nominee. The process of payment and site explanation was good, and she showed us to our pitch.
There were 5 hardstanding pitches and a great many grass pitches. The grass pitches looked in good order and all were flat. We were on a hardstanding pitch right by the entrance, which to be honest felt like we were in a layby. The other available pitch (as three were occupied by seasonal customers) was behind us and much narrower.
The facility block was fairly modern, however it looked like a good clean would help it, especially the floors, and the rubber mats in the shower were not the best (a shower costs a reasonable £1 for 5mins).
TV signal was good, no on site Wi-Fi, but the phone signal was good too. A positive is the frequency of the trains from the local station at Cononley to Skipton, and which from there many other areas of the Yorkshire Dales become accessible either by another train or by bus.
There is also a flat canal side walk/ride approx. 1 mile away on the Leeds/ Liverpool Canal either to Skipton or to Keithley.
The two pubs in Cononley are both very nice and the village shop sells the basic essentials.
The site has some fabulous views of the Dales, and whilst the train track is close by, the site on the whole was very peaceful and quiet.
I know it’s a CS but I was expecting more from this site due to the awards it had won, which in our case it didn’t deliver on.
That being said, it wouldn’t take much to raise the standard and really make this a real gem of a site in the Yorkshire Dales area.

Spacious site comprising of several fields.
Our grass pitch was level. Sharp bends to get near to & onto the farm & signage not clear from the roads.
Otherwise & friendly welcome, a choice of pitches & basic facilities.
Don't forget to bring £1 coins for the showers.
Location great for the train that runs past the farm. From early to late, but didn't pose a problem for us.

A lovely quiet site, down a narrow lane over a narrow bridge. Facilities simple but clean.
Ideally suited for walking into Skipton along the canal (approx 4 miles) or hop on the train, station 5 min walk from site.
Visited New Inn pub, warm welcome, log fire and great choice of beers (Tim Taylor),
Would definitely visit site again.

Loved it once we found it. Sharp right turn midway through village and over railway bridge. Bit narrow but don't let that put you off.
On arrival phoned number and was greeted very quickly by owner and shown various pitches to pick from. We chose a cracking, massive grass pitch with a stunning view towards hills.
There was a busy rally on in another field but never any noise and didn't have to queue for toilets/showers at any time. Showers £1 but considering excellent price for pitch was more than happy with that.
Toilets and showers were always clean and tidy and dishwash facilty very good too. Quite a large site, mostly grass, few hardstandings but grass is way better we think as long as weather stays good.
5 minutes walking to train station in Cononley and plenty trains. We only went into Skipton and again only about 5 minutes.
Cononley itself is lovely. 2 fantastic pubs, well worth a visit. Little village shop, didn't use but could be handy if you get caught short.
We really did like it here, weather was ok so that helps and will certainly be back.

We were fortunate to enjoy a lovely sunny weekend with a rain shower one evening.
We were clearly directed to our pitch, and were able to quickly set up in an open field with glorious views of the surrounding hills.
The services were clean and well looked after even with a busy weekend, Took a day trip to Skipton by train, quick and frequent every 15 minutes. Skipton is not the easiest of places to park, also one is then able to partake of the pubs there and of course on the way back from Cononley station to the campsite.
The site was busy but everyone observed night time quiet. A lot of regular visitors
The approach can be daunting down a narrow lane and then over a blind bridge, means no one speeds.
A truly delightful site.

Our first visit to this lovely site in in our Motorhome.
Lovely views from the site
Peaceful even though the site is near a train line do not let this put you off as most of the trains are electric I think and don't run at night.
Train station 5 mins walk from site and very regular trains to Skipton and other surrounding areas. £4. 20 for a duo return ticket so excellent value.
Two lovely pubs in the village The Railway and The New Inn both a 5 minute walk one you turn right out of the site the other turn left.
Only negative is the facilities could do with some heating but having spoken to the owners this and other little touches are being looked into. On a plus side no push button showers but you do need £1 coin for 5 minutes.
Skipton a great market town with a market about 3 times a week. Plenty of shops places to eat also plenty of pubs. We tried the Turkish restaurant Efendy which was very good.
We will definitely return thank you 🥳

Nice campsite, clean toilets & showers needed 50p for shower, located
2min walk to village pub & 5 mins to train stop where we got train into Skipton,
Its CCC site but takes everyone cheaper if in CCC, camped in a large field with no electric [ we didn't want electric, but they have it if you require it]
No restriction on pitches, fires allowed & site patrolled so not noisy at night,
Really enjoyed staying there.

Arrived rang the displayed number, waited, owner came along told us the price, £25 per night me & hubby were happy with that with EHU said we could park anywhere, owners left & we got on with our weekend away,
There were children on site, but they were just enjoying their own holidays, they played around near our Moho - no problems whatsoever,
Shower units were clean as was the kitchen area, walked the dog nearby, walked to the train station, got a happen return ticket to skipton approx £3. 60 pp which was reasonable- trains were frequent & charge clean -
No idea what time we had to leave -
Views stunning -
Will definitely return here

We visited this site with our "Car Owners Club". And were thus on the "Rally Field". {it was actually our second visit there, we visited 5 years ago}
The staff were most helpful on our arrival, fixing us up with a EHU, even though we had not booked to use EHU, they even lent us their cable {even though we had our own}
I cant fault the facilities, the loos & showers seemed clean & plentiful, although I opted to use our own shower in our caravan.
The field we were in was right next to the railway line, although this was no problem as the trains are mainly the electric variety, and mainly fairly quiet {it does of course help that I am a bit of a steam train enthusiast}. And whilst were there we visited the Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway.
WE also took a drive into Skipton, and spent a pleasant hour on a Narrowboat with a short trip down the {Leeds-Liverpool?} Canal.
Skipton is a nice little town, it seems there is a Market on Saturdays, but wev were too late to visit it after visiting the Embsay Steam Railway.
WE had an afternoon meal in the Railway Inn. Just a "cheese toastie with chips & salad". But highly recommended as excellent value, the ale was good too {Timothy Taylors}. It seems there are two pubs in the village, but the other pub in the village was closed {as it seems the Landlady recently passed away}
The views from the campsite are excellent, and we had fantastic weather.
There looked to be something of a children's playground there, but as we did not take our grandchildren with us, I cannot comment or give a rating.
The approach to campsite is rather odd, it looks as though you entering someones private road, and there is a very narrow bridge to contend with. On leaving, I let my wife walk ahead to phone me & confirm it was "all clear".
It seems the site has won a good few "Awards" over the last few years, which TBH, does not surprise me {the Certificates are all displayed outside the loos }
All in all a great site. And one I will definitely want to return to, both on our own, and {hopefully} again with our Car Owners Club.
