lovely peaceful holiday.

Stayed here for four nights in July which we discovered was not nearly long enough as this is a beautiful site. Very friendly couple who are very helpful. Facilities are spotless and have loads of very hot water. The walks along the river are breathtaking and suited to all levels of walkers with colour coded route's. Lots of wildlife around the site and even saw a woodpecker. A bit of a drive to the shops so we took plenty of supplies with us. Would recommend this site for a lovely peaceful holiday. There is no phone signal on the site but a short walk to the river and you get one the campsite sells an ariel wire for the tv reception which gives you 7 channels. Looking forward to going again for longer next time.

Poor accessible facilities

An absolutely great location. Pricier than other sites. Although the toilet facilities were clean, there were no adapted cubicles - toilet or shower - adapted with hand rails for visitors with accessibility issues. The disabled toilet could not be accessed either. A great let down

Comment from the Club:

Thank you for your review. The Site Staff have been in touch as they wanted to clear up any confusion. The site has an assisted shower and sink cubicle in both the gents and ladies toilet/shower areas. The site does have a large fully kitted out disabled room which, as with all Club sites, is opened with the use of a radar key, these are available from the site reception. If you ever need any assistance in the future please speak to the site staff as they will be more than happy to show these facilities and help wherever they can. We hope this clears up any confusion and that you come back and visit again soon.

A lovely peaceful site - great location

A lovely site in a beautiful location on the Bolton Abbey Estate. The Wardens and Relief Wardens were very friendly and worked hard to keep the site well maintained. Lovely pitches, some in full sun and some in the shade of trees. Plenty of walking from the site and an easy walk into Bolton Abbey. We will definitely return when we next visit the Yorkshire Dales.

Lovely first visit

The most peaceful site we have been to! Lots of gorgeous walking to be done. Although our dog was grumpy at having to be on the lead for some of it. The wardens are the friendliest and most accommodating that we have met so far. Pitches to suit everyone. Full sun or shaded and lots of wildlife visiting. We had rabbits, pheasant, squirrels and ducks. Can’t wait to return. A word of advice. Keep bags etc upright or closed. We had our front screen covers laying down for a while when we packed up to leave. The string is broken so bag is always loosely open. A tiny baby rabbit must have crawled in. We discovered it unharmed, luckily, after a 5 hour journey home. Our local vets took it in to build it up before eventually releasing in our local countryside. Happy ending but lesson to learn!

Nice site

We have been here a few times, it’s a lovely site, plenty walks and wildlife. I can’t understand why the early departure times and late check in, we was told it’s to give time to get through the arch, but it doesn’t take 2 hours to get to it. It won’t stop us returning.

Great location

We've just returned from 8 nights away at this lovely site, our second visit and certainly not our last. The relief wardens worked hard to keep everything running smoothly and did an excellent job of keeping the site and facilities clean and tidy. (Another member complained to me that there were quite a few twigs and leaves about! It's in a wooded area, and woods do tend to have twigs and leaves.) There are many lovely walks to do in the area, one of our favourites is along the river to Burnsall, and wildlife enthusiasts will be kept entertained by the variety of birds around. If you follow the path to Barden bridge and leave the woods by the little wooden bridge, your dog can be let off lead right up to the aquaduct, and if you continue right up to Barden bridge, cross the river and walk back down the other side, there's a huge field where your dog can run free. Can't wait to visit again,!

Peaceful

What a great find, heavily wooded site which is full of wildlife with lots of walks. Staff were temporary but still very helpful. The facilities are very good and exceptionally clean. Though its called Bolton Abbey it is about a 3 mile walk away and parking at the Abbey is £ 10 should you wish to drive. We really enjoyed Skipton, they even have MH parking slots in the Coach street car park. other visits were the settle railway and Fountains Abbey.

Water!

Spent 2 nights at Bolton Abbey, the site itself is situated right at the entrance of several walks in the area which give amazing views of the River Wharfe, however I did feel, in hindsight, that this is where we were supposed to walk rather than further afield on the fells - ok for a couple of days. On arrival, we luckily filled up with water as the following morning the site’s water system had failed and there were no working toilets, showers or taps working! Not the wardens fault I know and they worked like trojens to at least get the toilets working by evening ...... so glad we filled up earlier as still no showers till the following day. Don’t think we’ll return 😔

A Little Gem!

It is no wonder that this site is so popular as it is easy to find, very picturesque and in a great location, especially if you like wildlife and walking. The toilet block is very central so most of the pitches are not too far away, unless you are in the "dip" but even then it is not that far. There is an adequate fenced dog walk where you can let your dog off the lead, with 2 entrances so you can go in one entrance and exit out the other. if you walk out of the site and down the slope towards the Strid and follow the sign to Barden Bridge, (which is about three quarters of a mile there and back to the site) there is a sign to tell you where you can let your dog off the lead and if you walk under Barden Bridge you can walk to a another bridge a little further on, cross over and walk back along the other side. It is around 4 and a half miles for a circular walk the other way around the Strid and back. There are many established trees on site which makes it very attractive but on most pitches you will get the sun for at least part of the day and for all day on some pitches. The Wardens seem very helpful and friendly and unlike some sites, there is not the almost persistent noise of grass cutting and strimming for much of the day.

Beautiful site, fantastic walks

Just back from a one night stop to try out my new van. This site is charming, set among trees with squirrels, rabbits and duck visiting. The facilities are all excellent, shower block was clean and warm. Pitches are level, quite a feat on a sloping site. We enjoyed a walk direct from the site in either direction and will be back to explore more. Not sure about families although the dog loved it too. The only problem was that the blubber houses road was closed so we had to go a long way round.
