Superb Stay

We have just spent a week at this CL. The owners weren’t in when we arrived but had left us a lovely welcoming note telling us which pitches we could choose from and of course we picked the best one! We had a wonderful view of a wildflower/grass meadow which was harvested during our stay. This provided evening entertainment(we didn’t bother setting up the tv during our stay because we enjoyed the views so much!) just watching the different steps in harvesting silage. The CL has hard standing pitches giving plenty of room with large grassy areas to use as well;each pitch has it’s own tap,the elsan point is centrally located and the toilet is spotless. We enjoyed our stay so much that we are already talking about coming back next year.

A First Class Well Maintained CL.

A first class CL that is obviously carefully maintained. The photos don't really do it justice as it is now mainly hard standings. It does slope a little but there is an adequate supply of timber blocks should they be needed. The electric is only 10 amps so care is needed when using appliances. The description states that this CL is next to Brimham Rocks. This is not quite correct, they are about one mile away but this is to the advantage of CL users as the rocks (NT) get a lot of visitors. Unfortunately the nearest pub (the Flying Dutchman in Summer Bridge) has closed down but the Royal Oak in nearby Dacre Bank is very good for a meal. All in all a very enjoyable stay for 7 nights.

Really Great Site

Firtree is a really great site. It has a mixture of hard and grass standing fully serviced pitches on a gentle slope. Ramps and levelling blocks are provided if you need them. As mentioned by others the site is accessed along a single track road, but like others we experienced no problems with other traffic. The site is very quiet and peaceful with great views towards Ripon and Thirsk. There are many footpaths in the area and it is possible to walk to Pateley Bridge in 2-3 hours. We did there and back in about 6 hours, including a great stop for waffles in the Pancake House near the bridge! As Firtree is on top a hill most of the walking ends going up hill, but the views all around are worth it. Val was so friendly and helpful when we met too. She made us feel very welcome. We had lovely long weekend at a great site!

Wonderful CL - we'll be back!

Just back after a long weekend at this wonderful CL which has so much going for it. All the recent rain had made the grass pitches unusable but Val showed us to two hardstanding pitches which were easily accessible and had their own water supply - a real treat to be able to connect the tap straight into the caravan and to ignore the Aquaroll for once! It's clear that this is a site owned by campers - the provision of serviced pitches; a ready supply of blocks to help with levelling; a dedicated WC; hedging between pitches to provide some privacy. Val & John have clearly put a lot of thought into this and it's maintained to the highest level. As others have said, there's a wealth of things to do in this area and we would thoroughly recommend a visit to Brimham Rocks which are spectacular - even persistent rain couldn't spoil our walk around the rocks. Val & John are very friendly and welcoming and it was a pleasure to meet them - also nice to spend a little time with John looking at his classic cars - MGB, MGC & Triumph 4. While Stripe Lane is narrow, we never met another vehicle on our various trips up and down it so it shouldn't put you off visiting. I had thought the gateway was a tad narrow and, with the narrow lane, I'd anticipated a few difficulties getting our Swift 580 safely through and on to the lane. My anticipation was completely unnecessary - we made it through quite easily without needing to use the grass verge in the lane. We would totally recommend this CL and will defintely be returning... Thanks Val & John!

Fabulous 3 night stay

We only stayed here for 3 nights but really wished we could have stayed longer. What an immaculately kept site and the owners should be very proud. The lawned grass was lovely and the serviced pitches were a massive bonus. The toilet was spotless and all the other amenities were well cared for. The location is ideal for Brimham Rocks Pateley Bridge Harrogate Ripon.. the list is endless. What we loved about this site was the peace and quiet and we were blessed with beautiful weather too. The views are amazing and we saw two beautiful sunsets. Our only concern was the road coming up to the site was single lane but we had no bother with other vehicles. I thoroughly recommend staying at this CL.
