Perfect site for walkers
The location of this site is perfect if you enjoy countryside walking, which we do. Bought a map in the shop with 8 walks direct from the site. We also ventured out to the wider area for other walking. The views in the surrounding area are just stunning.
Site is well maintained, clean and well designed. One toilet block so take note of closing times. We were in the secluded fully serviced pitch area ... well worth the supplement.
Hawes is a delight. Fabulous pubs, cafes, takeaways and quaint shops along with a spar for daily goods. The Crown is great for a pint and lovely food, as is the local Indian restaurant.
Wensleydale cheese factory is well worth a visit, we bought some lovely cheese from there.
Some reviews mention unfriendly wardens. We didn’t find that. They always said hello whilst going about their work and seemed friendly enough to us.
People also moaned about wardens not letting them on early, I never understand these gripes, as it states quite clearly what the entry time is. We arrived 10 minutes early and waited in the lay by which is on the approach to the site. On our way home at 11am we saw someone else arrive! They will have been unable to check in, and wardens are quite right to refuse entry!
Also the way some members treat the facilities really spoil it for everyone else. I saw small children unaccompanied using loos and not flushing and things like sink areas full of hair. Clean up after yourself!
As far as this site and the area goes, we will 100% return.
