Good proximity to village

Such a lovely site. Pitched huge but close together opposite side of road. Turningbjn ment crossing opposite pitch. Lovely with stone walls and hedges between some pitches. Easy walking distance to village with lots of pubs, eating places best chippy in the area (cooks in dripping) great cheese factory and shop kn 15 mins walk from the site. Arrival staff a little blunt and free WiFi not very quick. Had own WiFi in van. Central bin system is stupid means less recycling when you end up saving it up for the week. Main issue is exit is through the camping area rather than where you enter the site. Site has 2 entrance lanes in. Could easily cope with 1 each way. Could do with 2nd facilities block and MH point as you did feel like you was on a separate site.

Short walk to Hawes.

Good site near to Hawes, pitches etc OK. There are low flying jet aircraft at regular intervals flying overhead which are very loud. I paid £140.40p for 3 nights on a serviced pitch which I thought was expensive for this site, many others are same price with far superior facilities. Dog walk was not suitable for small dogs as they can get through the large squares in the perimeter fence. Grass cutting went on around occupied pitches with no regard for customer privacy. That said I had an enjoyable stay here and would return.

Great location, cramped site

Fab location for Hawes, Wensleydale creamery and various walks from site. Toilet block was clean. Slight negatives for us were the cramped feeling on site- pitches quite close next to each other and also across the road so made it feel less spacious than we would like. Looked like some pitches were on quite steep slopes too so ramps definitely needed. Helpful and friendly staff. We would return but probably for short visits only.

Location great, not as peaceful as expected.

Just had a little spontaneous 2 night stay, had a fully serviced pitch in a nice little cul de sac behind the main office. A great location to explore from, no need to drive walking is good and Hawes village is just a 10 minute walk. The dog walk field is a good size but is overrun with rabbits, you can let your dog off lead be prepared for the chaos if your dog likes to chase. Weather was sunny and we would have enjoyed sitting outside but the grass cutting was just never ending! It was going on when we arrived at 1pm and didn’t stop until late afternoon. Next morning at 9am it started again, the warden had no regard for people using their pitches and he quite literally cut around my husband who was trying to empty our grey waste, could he not have waited! We went out and came back after lunch still cutting grass, no peaceful country sounds just a very noisy petrol mower. The madness was the grass didn’t need cutting. I understand this has to happen but a bit of consideration wouldn’t go amiss. So unfortunately our stay wasn’t as relaxing as we had hoped for.

Perfect base for exploring the Dales

Beautifully kept site only a 5 minute walk from the centre of Hawes. Wardens are very friendly and pitches well sized. The dog walk area is superb and one of the best I’ve seen - only a shame that so many owners are incapable of clearing up after their dogs. If the hill walking wasn’t keeping me fit, the trudge up the hill to the bins certainly was! I find I’m using more plastic bags now than I used to as need a bag to put my recycling in, where previously I’d just take bits as needed when the bins were closer. Maybe each pitch could be loaned a recycling box to use during their stay? Access to site either from Ingleton or Bedale is good, no issues. Site borders a working farm so if farm noises or smells bother you, best keep to the top end of the site 😂

Great site in a fab location - staff brilliant!

Hubby & I stayed for 5 nights. We received a lovely welcome from Graham who said find a pitch then go to reception to pay. We had booked a blue peg pitch (no awning) so found one that backed onto the wall overlooking the River Ure. We always thought there was a basic rule that you don't pitch with hab doors facing your neighbour for privacy, so we had to go nose in. Pitch was fairly level but we realised we were quite a distance away from the bollard-our 25m EHU cable just about reached. However, there was no way our aerial cable would - so no TV for us that night. Then we got a neighbour who pitched with his hab door facing ours, as a result we tried to move our furniture around so we weren't actually facing into his unit, but it wasn't ideal. Next day hubby noticed an empty pitch that was nearer to a bollard so went to reception to see if we could move - no problem. Took us 10 minutes to unhook/rehook up, however we realised just how sloping the pitch was so we got onto our levellers, made a bit of difference, but at least now we had TV! We were out for the rest of the day. Next morning we realised the fridge had stopped working, we did the usual tests but came to the conclusion it was because of the severity of the slope. Back again to reception to ask if we could move again, we explained our predicament. They seemed to know that the pitch we were on had issues. However, Matt & Jules were very helpful and indicated on the site plan all the pitches we could move to, including white peg ones (with awning) as apparently they tend to be more level because they are a lot bigger - note to self for future bookings ;0) We unhooked again, Matt came over and advised the pitches he thought would be better, so same rigmarole again. We found a perfectly flat pitch! We left fridge off to let it settle down and went out. Upon our return, fridge on and ice within the hour. Happy days - so the rest of our stay was fab. As always the facilities were immaculate, all the staff were so friendly and it really is a lovely laid out site. Only 10 minute walk into Hawes, plenty of shops, pubs etc and plenty to do and see round about. The Dales Museum is brilliant and your ticket is valid for 7 days. We went to Wensleydale Creamery, really interesting and loads of cheese tasting - fill your boots! As you come out of the Hawes site and turn right it's only a 20 minute walk to Hardraw, gorgeous little village with a lovely pub next to the waterfall - fab! We got the little white bus to Leyburn, lovely little town. The bus went through some gorgeous Dales villages - though it was a 'white knuckle' ride in places! Opposite the White Hart pub there is a very steep cobbled foot path that takes you to Gayle, the path is paved all along so no muddy boots. Gayle Mill is worth a visit but only open on Thursdays. We had a brilliant 5 days at Hawes, despite the weather. Thoroughly recommend Hawes!

Wonderful

We have just returned from our 3 night stay at this wonderful site, we come here at least 2/3 times a year. We won't go into all the details as we have it before as have many other reviews. The main reason for the review is to thank the wonderful wardens, so helpful and informative 👍. The day we were meant to leave my car decided it didn't want to start 🙃 but again the wardens came to our aid, explained our situation but like a Knight in shining armour he came with his own car and jump leads and got us going 👍. Thanks to all the wardens on site, fantastic 😀 👏.

Excellent site

I don’t know why we haven’t stayed here before as it’s not far from home. An excellent site all round. The dog walk is a field of a few acres where dogs can be off lead. The staff were nice and friendly. We didn’t use the shower block often but I did call in and it was nice and clean with plenty of cubicles. There is plenty to visit in the vicinity and Hawes itself is a great town with many independent shops, which we visited often. We had walks out of site, Hardraw Force was great and we drove out to the surroundings places. We will be back. The only downside was cows in the barn mooing a lot, and some muck spreading smell but it is in the country so can be expected.
