First time at this site and was very impressed, lovely site good amenities warm welcome and lots of places to visit close by. Will definitely be using this site again.
Our first visit
This is an excellent CL with toilets and a shower, hardstandings and electric hook-ups. Access is easy and pitches are well spaced. There is a large grass area with a one hole golf green with balls and clubs available. Walking by footpath is easy from the site without going near the road. There are other walks available too. The owners are relaxed, welcoming and friendly. While we were staying there were some helicopter movements nearby, fascinating in the darkness of the evening. This site is recommended and we plan to return.
This really is a good adults only CL
We took a few days off to visit a relative in Harrogate and camped for that time at Port Arthur Farm.
If you have never visited this adults only CL then I would recommend you to do so.
The site is located at a working farm on the outskirts of Knaresborough in a quiet rural location and is kept very clean.
There is a log cabin (looks new) on site (within the camping area) containing an information section, and also this houses two scrupulously clean toilets and one shower compartment, which is sufficient for their patrons.
The owners are friendly, chatty and very helpful.
Each pitch is laid to hardstanding with its own dedicated electric hookup point. There are also clean drinking water taps situated at the entrance to the site, a grey water disposal point and an elsan toilet disposal area.
We would definitely recommend this site to you if you are looking for a quiet, scenic CL for adults only within easy reach of Knaresborough, Harrogate and York.
Another great stay
Just returned from a four night stay . everything as it should be from this topclass cl this is our favourite site clean & spotless thanks Vicky & Graham c u soon the Wossie mob
.
Relaxing CL
This is a very quite & relaxing cl. The owners were very welcoming & helpful, with lots of local advice. The toilets & shower were very clean & tidy & beautifully decorated. The hardstanding's were well laid out & there was plenty of room for an awning. We would certainly visit again.
Top value CL
We arrived at this CL after a long journey having been redirected due to traffic. We pitched up on a hard standing pitch and immediately felt relaxed. The owners texted to give instructions on where to pitch. During the afternoon Graham came to welcome us. This is an excellent CL with great, spotless facilities and excellent value for money. It is close to beautiful towns such as Knaresborough with wonderful views of the bridge from the Castle, and Wetherby and a bus ride away from Harrogate. Pateley Bridge is well worth a visit too.
We had a lovely week here and are hoping to return for longer next year. Thank you very much Vicki and Graham.

Not for us
Site easy to find and a good welcome on arrival although e-mail communication not very clear ,we ended up behind a hedge opposite a barn in an area for three vans which isn't part of CL quite disappointed so not a lot of praise really. have stayed at much nicer sites more worthy of coming second in CL comp of year, disappointed and don't think my wife and I would be returning any time in the near future.
What a wonderful CL
Spent a great week here. The pitches are all level... whether on grass or hardstanding and are all very spacious. Have all facilities onsite. Hot water in showers/toilets always readily available.... just switch it on !! Pub in nearby village ... just a short walk away serving excellent meals. Port Arthur Farm is the "Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales" and the owners Vicky & Graham are lovely people. Best CL we have stayed on !

Wish all CLs were this welcoming.
We had a great stay here at the end of June, Vicky made us feel really welcome from the start, we saw her every day and she was always keen to make sure that we had all we needed. Lovely level hard standing,bonus was toilet and separate shower all included in the price.
Great choice of pitch, large grass area for ball games and a pitch and putt area, balls and club included.
Having read the previous review all I can say is that Vicky and Graham must have been away on holiday. I would have mentioned the lack of soap and hot water and I’m sure it would have been rectified. Move this and that ..... like what?
We will return.
Disappointing
Having read great reviews about this site we were really looking forward to staying here, unfortunately we found the reality somewhat different. The site is beautiful, very peaceful but the welcome was not what we expected. The setup is somewhat confusing and got a bit like musical chairs. We paid to stay here but there appeared to be so many “don’t do” “move this” and this was not a pleasant stay. The chemical toilet disposal up some steps was bizarre. The toilet had no hot water to wash your hands, the hand wash was empty for 3 days at least. This is not a site we will return to, beautiful but not made to feel welcom
