Visited May bank holiday.  Excellent value for money and marvellous views from hard standing pitches. Easy to find (Sat Nav worked ok). Pitch where you want on arrival the further away from the entrance gate the more likely you will need some sort of levelling blocks. Walk to almscliffe crag is approx 20 minutes which is a nice morning dog walk on quet country lane and footpath with marvellous views from the top of the crag, weather permitting. Short drive to nearest pub and located 5 miles from Harrogate and Otley. Didn't meet the owners other than to pay and then we were only asked how many nights we were staying. Whilst it states advanced booking there was no deposit required. I am not overly bothered about a warm welcome etc although it is nice to know where to pitch and where to put grey water etc. previous visitors informed us that you pitch where you want, grey waste goes along the hedge and you visit the house to pay. An very nice CL for a long weekend or whilst visiting events in Harrogate or Harewood or as a stop off going North or South as it is within easy reach of A1.
