We had previously stayed at this site around 10 years ago when we owned a caravan. However, we have just recently purchased a campervan and decided that our first night in our campervan would be the Hawes site. In that time lots has changed. For the first time we used the on-site facilities and were really impressed as they were immaculate. Our arrival was most welcoming as we parked up at the reception, a very pleasant gentleman came out and introduced the site to us and booked us in. We reported back having given our pitch number and all three of the staff present were most professional and helpful. We pitched up next to the farm immediately across from a dry stone wall. “Lots of country atmosphere” came to mind and for us was perfectly acceptable and gave us the country feel so absolutely no issues there. There was a massive change since we last visited particularly as we were dog owners. Our last visit around 10 yrs ago only, the site only had a narrow 2 metre wide path (ish) around the site. not now!!. Although the path is still there, there’s a huge field between the path and the campsite itself that has pathways neatly groomed criss-crossing the field itself. For us this is a huge bonus and has meant we’ll stay here again (booked again next month) as the site has everything we need, in abundance. Hawes village/market town itself is only a 10-min walk from the site and is fantastic. Access to pubs/restaurants/shops is also in abundance. Night time at the site is a bonus. The area is largely light-pollution free meaning you can clearly see stars/moonlight across swathes of the Yorkshire Dales. Overall the staff were helpful and most professional. The site facilities were immaculate and the surrounding the same. We will become regulars in the not too distant future.
