 A lovely quiet campsite with good, clean facilities. Perfect for camping as it has lots of room and good ground.
I was welcomed by a very helpful owner.
The site is well positioned for striking out into the Dales and local towns and for walking and climbing.

Lovely little sight on the top of a hill. Very basic but all we wanted. Very friendly and helpful owners. (Got me our of a muddy field when I got a bit stuck!)
Only £16 per night when we stayed so great value too.
Good walks from the site and not far from the national park and Malham to boot.
Would definitely go again.

My sister and I found this campsite from the website. I rang on the day I wanted to come and the farmer/owner was very pleasant and friendly and welcoming. We did get lost after following his directions but we are rubbish at following directions!
It is quite a remote farm though. We were late arriving but the owner was waiting for us and he was lovely. The campsite is a field on the working farm, and the views are absolutely outstanding of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales (I think it's the Dales anyway).
It was perfect for our limited needs, ie a clean toilet block with plenty of space for washing - we didn't use the shower so don't know what that was like.
It is pretty basic, with a sink to wash pots around the back of the toilet facilities, but that is the kind of camping we like. You would need to bring what you need with you as it is not walking distance to shops etc.
We absolutely loved it and would definitely go again and probably will!

Stayed here for a pleasant weekend with another couple also in a motorhome. Cheap and pleasant enough -
Facilities perfectly fine, pitch electricity free, the toilets and shower (£1) clean. After reading the reviews, we arrived full of water, and the facilities are not really suitable for motorhome full service, however caravans would be fine for water.
Threw it down for the first day, but the hardstanding fared well. Plenty of walks direct from the site and the lovely towns of ilkley and skipton are nearby. Would go again.

Wonderful site, we stayed with a group of about 16, and on a couple of occasions since as a single unit, the facilities are always clean and tidy, the showers hot and the people are lovely.
The family went out of the way to make our stay really homely and the farm owner even showed the kids round the newly hatched chickens.
Cannot recommend highly enough.

Me and my partner Teresa have stayed here throughout 2017 and now into 2018. The views from this daily actual working farm at the top of Skipton are stunning. The owners Martin+Kathy have a beautiful peaceful tranquil site, this is rare from all the commercial sites out there. And to boot lovely helpful people. I do not agree with a previous review. We have had 1 of the hardest long winters on record. That directly affects water pipes + supply. The site is lovely + down to earth, showers, toilets, EHUs, hard+ grass pitches (weather permitting). We take our grandchildren. They love it and play in peace. It IS a working farm and as such respect to the nearby lush fields and livestock cattle in the fields must be shown at all times if going with children for their own safety. Molly the sheepdog greets you with her ball to be thrown! and chickens run free. Around the site. Perfect location and tranquil peace.

We booked here for a week because of good review and we're very disappointed. The owner was busy when we arrived but said he'd see us later, he also said he hoped we had our own toilet as his was out of order. The hardstanding pitch he directed us to was mud and we would have got stuck so we went on another. We couldn't get electric so we had to bother the owner again to come and show us. So far so good but when we went to get a container of water it was brown and dirty with silt in it. We went back to the owner who said we should have filled up before we came and he had never heard of having to provide drinking water. He filled our container from his kitchen tap but when I asked what to do in future he shrugged. We stayed one night and left in the morning. We offered to pay for one night but the owner wouldn't take it saying he couldn't help the weather. We felt as if we were a nuisance and expected 5 star service from a farm site. We often go away in winter and we don't want anything special but this experience was awful

We have just returned from an enjoyable weekend here.
Location is 1. 5 miles from centre of Silsden, here you find 4 pubs, supermarket and shops etc. Taxis are available if you don't want to walk back up the hill.
At the site the view is amazing, you can see for miles. Pitches are not marked out as such so you can pitch where you like for the best view. Some areas grass some stone. EHU points everywhere.
The site has toilets and a shower which were well maintained and clean. Shower is 50p token so remember to buy on arrival if needed. There are bins with recycling, TV and 4g signal good
For a site with so many facilities and a good location, we were supervised that the cost was only £12 for 2 adults and a dog. Electric is on a meter but this amounts to pennies, mainly battery charger in our case.
Owner was friendly and helpful. We were told no set departure time.
As the name says, it is a farm. Tractors, chickens, the farm dog and even the cockerel didn't bother us at all, in fact it was nice to stay on a real farm rather than a concrete site.
We would happily stay here again.

Plus-points as in previous reviews. Nice views (apart from building rubble dumped smack dab in the foreground - perhaps this will be moved before the season is in full swing? ), dog- friendly, good for walking in the area, pleasant owners.
However, the toilet / shower block had clearly not been cleaned at all since the last campers left at the end of the summer, nor was it touched at all for the week of my stay. The waste bins were full, the one toilet roll that was left was damp, the hand wash was empty, the hand dryer did not work, there were dead leaves and a few pieces of litter on the floors of the toilets and shower, and the toilets were not at all clean. It was also freezing.
I also had to move several large piles of dog mess off the pitch before I could put up my awning. I understand that this is a working farm and someone's home and their dog has to do what dogs do, but I did think they might have checked for this when someone was booked in to stay.
I only paid £10 a night, which is good value, and I was the only person staying, apart from one permanent pitch and two caravans that came for one overnight, but even so, I would have expected clean facilities, particularly as this is a Camping and Caravanning Club site. This really let the site down for me.
'Hard-standing' was a bit of mixed gravel and grass next to the hedge. After a very wet winter it was also extremely soft and muddy - not really sure it qualified as hard standing!
I would probably return, but not until cleanliness is improved.
