Had a few days at Hawes, excellent site, which is why we keep going. Don't have kids so it is difficult to rate how good it is for families.  Close to walks and local facilities.  Great places nearby to visit on a day out.  Hardraw Falls, Aysgarth Falls to mention just a couple.   Our site backed on to the wall and we were able to see quite a bit of wild life, a mouse obviously had its home in the wall and kept popping in and out for the bread we left, rabbit, various birds, including a chaffinch I think and a Woodpecker. Facilities excellent showers warm.  Wardens very pleasant.
