Enjoyed our stay but......

Enjoyed our weeks stay at Bolton Abbey apart from a few niggles. We have just stayed at Bolton Abbey which must have been the last full week before it closes and we ran out of Propane gas and the site had no bottles due to its impending closure which was very inconvenient as we were unable to get any anywhere in the area, why the wardens couldn’t stock some for next opening I’ve no idea but we couldn’t use our oven most of the stay?. Been coming here for many years but first time with our new dog and yes the walks from the site are nice through the woods but it seems dogs are not welcome off site in the area as we came across many signs saying “ No dogs allowed” not even allowed on a leash even up to Simon’s seat a favourite walk of ours. Yes the toilet block does need a bit of modernising and the broadband was also iffy!.Perhaps on reflection we won’t be returning for a while.

Great in October!

Our first time at this site and what a gem! The walks form the site are great with the leaves turning into their autumn colours it was a site to behold. The site is neat and well maintained and whilst you need a booster cable for the TV you get 8 channels to choose from. Our dog loved the walks even though she needed to stay on the lead in the woods, this rule was not observed by many though! This is lovely site and Yorkshire is a great county to visit!

Great site but beware the estate car parks

The Club Site is in a good location and there are many walks easily accessed from the site. Beware driving to any of the estate car parks. The cost for the day is almost the same as an overnight stay on site! Charges are not clear until you are entering the car parks. Facilities are acceptable on site but showers do need some updating. Grassington and Skipton warrant a trip out but be careful where you park in Skipton if driving a motorhome. The Bolton Abbey to Embsay railway seems like a good outing but we were disappointed by the facilities at each end with the cafes being inadequatre to cater for a sudden inrush of passengers and they were most uninviting.

Bolton Abbey

The site is in a nice location, and having a tea room just outside he gate is a bonus! The shower block is looking a little dated now and could do with a refurbishment to bring it up to date, but all the other facilities are fine. There's plenty of walks around the area, and shopping in Skipton.

Lovely little site .

Just back from a 6 night stay at this lovely site , great location stunning scenery & with plenty of walking routes through & around the Abbey estate you are spoiled for choice. Easy drive to Harrogate & Harlow Carr & many local villagers to visit with Grassington worthy of a mention , plenty of tea rooms abound the area too , the old school house tea room at Hebden do a fantastic breakfast . One word of caution & the only negative comments I have is the usual short route to the site off the A59 is closed due to sewer work in the village , other longer alternative routes are do able with extreme caution with some of the local drivers seeming totally unable or unwilling to help with their aggressive driving manners . In fact the only alternative routes are deemed unusable to caravans / motorhomes it's in the club hand book . Lastly well kept site with great wardens .

Best Site We've Stayed At!

Bolton Abbey camp site, in our opinion is the best site we've stayed at. Very clean and tidy, peaceful and ideal for walking through the Bolton Abbey estate. Only little niggle was the departure time of 11am.

Yorkshire beauty

Beautiful site with its own wildlife - rabbits and ducks wandering all over. Great wardens and site is so well kept. Lovely walks from the site, but dogs are not allowed on many of the nearby moors and must be kept on leads in most other farmland and associated areas.

Beautiful location in the Dales. A very well managed site run by very friendly and helpful wardens. Facilities always clean. Bolton Abbey gets extremely busy but there are beautiful places along the River Wharfe not to be missed. Two negatives. Some pitches are in constant shade under trees and the wi-fi is poor. Overall though this is a very good site.

Why Oh Why!

I put that heading because when we were first caravaning a fair few years ago we used to have bit of a laugh at some of the comments about sites in what was then the CC magazine! The moany ones always had 'why oh why' within the monologue usually about size of pitch...lack of loo paper...noisy neighbours! We are back to touring now as we want to get around Britain and with 3 dogs it's easier to take the bedroom with you! I'm glad to see some moaners are still around...I'd hate that tradition to die off! Anyway THIS site is perfect...the staff were unobtrusive and hardworking...the place was spotless! We stayed from 29 July to 3 August. This is only our second trip out..the first was to Blackshaw site and I thought that was excellent as well! Don't come here if you don't like leaves,trees, dogs or walking. Thankfully it suited us! I should also mention that the dog walk was clean and I'm so pleased that my fellow dog owners clean up after them! I hope this continues as there are many dog haters out there There was no mess on any other part of the grounds either. My dogs loved it! We'll be back asap! I can't WAIT to go away again beginning of September. The sites just keep getting better! One complaint...I remember when campers would have a conversation with each other...it seems some prefer not to which is fine but if I might propose a reason for this is many don't stay long enough on site! It's a particular issue with motorhomes I think. They come they park they go! Barely even see the driver let alone say hello to anyone! Anyway I had a loveley chat with some of the children on site who came and sat with our dogs! Lovely little people they were and we had a good natter!
