Tranquil site

A peaceful site with great staff and a lovely location. The site would benefit from a revamp, and the price you pay should reflect this ! but it does'nt However the team maintain a spotless site and make the very best of what they have got. Leyburn is only 20 mins away and has good pubs and eateries. Loads to do nearby. WIFI does not work. Highly disappointing as i had work to do. I have given the site 5 stars because of the team efforts and the location, nothing else. Access is ok, but don't follow sat nav, use the directions in the book.

Bank Holiday Break

Enjoyed a three night stay at Lower Wensleydale. Clean and well managed site. Staff are excellent. Extremely helpful and very polite. I agree with other reviews that suggest that the Shower/WC facilities would benefit from an upgrade. That said they were adequate and clean. The site is close to Leyburn which takes about 20-30 minutes to walk with other attractions close by. Please be aware that although wi-fi is advertised at the site this is not accurate as it has not yet been connected. Will definitely revisit this site and would not hesitate to recommend. Thanks again to the staff.

Peaceful & relaxing.

Wonderfully relaxing 10 night stay here in early October. Site staff were excellent on arrival and throughout our stay, keeping a low profile but maintaining things to a high standard. Only slight downside is that the toilet/shower block is in need of quite a bit of TLC as it's looking a bit tired and tatty. We were on a "with awning" pitch which was big enough for our motorhome, however we did notice that the majority of caravans on similar pitches, whether they had awnings or not, were parking their cars in front of their caravans rather than to the right as per the usual site instructions due to the pitches generally being quite narrow, so as to avoid parking on the grass. That said, we enjoyed plenty of walks, with Middleham only a couple of miles away and Leyburn even closer. Aysgarth falls is half an hour by car with multiple walks and the circular walk from Aysgarth via Bolton Castle and Carperby is a good leg stretcher. Definitely will be returning.

Great location lovely staff

Lovely site on different levels with a reasonable amount of privacy between pitches. Super friendly staff. Nice clean toilets and showers. An easy mile walk into Leyburn on footpaths with the local pub The Pheasant Inn just 5 mins walk away. Good value for money at a time when other sites have increased their site fees expendentially. Will defiantly be returning,

Lovely site

Read reviews prior to visiting re dated facilities but was pleasantly surprised. Yes floor outside shower can get wet but lovely hot showers and extremely clean. We had stayed at a private site on way up to break journey and although the facilities there were more modern they were really dirty. Give me the club ones any day! Staff were very friendly and helpful. Had lovely secluded pitch near drive to local pub. Lots to do in area, lovely walks and dog enjoyed the dog run. Shame we could only stay for 2 nights but we will be back.

Overdue a refurbishment

Peaceful site and some pitches feel quite secluded, however many pitches are not up to club standards, too small and uneven or steep. Our white peg 'awning' pitch was too narrow to erect an awning. We pitched as required between the white pegs, but this left us with about 6ft of unusable space at the offside of the caravan and insufficient space to pitch even a small awning on the nearside. The pegs should have been 3 or 4 feet further over and then we may have managed. The shower facilities are outdated despite new shower heads. The removal of the shower curtains is a pain at all the club sites, but here where the facilities were designed for use with curtains, it is actually quite dangerous for users as the floor quickly floods and cannot be cleared. The whole of the floor in the block is wet and a risk to club members, especially Children. The club needs to urgently address this in my opinion. The service points have elevated water filling and drain points, raised on bricks, which means barrels and wastemasters have to be heaved on/off to fill or empty. Not the best design. Wardens were hardworking and friendly and the site is an easy walk from town.

Friendly and welcoming

This was our first ever caravan holiday, staying for two nights. We had the warmest welcome and the offer of help if with needed any assistance. The staff were so friendly but not intrusive. A lovely, peaceful site for our first Basecamp 2 adventure and we'll definitely be back.

Touring the Yorkshire Dales - June 2023

We stayed here for 4 nights (on what is called the balcony) - this was a secluded part of the site overlooking the lower part. The site has a lot of quirky tucked in pitches amongst the trees (this year as we've found in other sites the trees are leaking a lot of sap so made the gravel everywhere very very sticky to walk on). The young wardens were very welcoming. The shower block is dated but clean. I don't mind dated facilities if they are clean & there is hot water, unfortunately on the four days we stayed the female showers were freezing, I was told the men's showers take priority on the hot water and they've tried to get it fixed and aware of the problem. This doesn't seem good enough for a club site. I pay to stay on a site for EHU & a shower and unfortunately for £30 a night it made it very expensive EHU. TV reception varied on a daily basis, but we were more than happy to sit outside enjoying the evening sun When we were touring it was extremely hot, our days were spent finding rivers for our Labrador to swim & cool down and we found some beautiful places. We ate at the Wensleydale Heiffer, West Witton for our last evening and it is highly recommended (and dog friendly) Richmond was a nice town to visit - they offer parking discs (I did get some extra for reception to give out) you can also collect them from tourist information and if you park in designated disc parking 2 hours is free. The train is walking distance and we spent a morning relaxing travelling to Leeming Bar & back. We had lunch at the Garden Rooms at the Auction House just down the road and it was delicious We've stayed at Buxton (which is also a Quarry Site), I liked Lower Wensleydale but it just feels a little let down, the greenery between the pitches was just weeds and unkempt - which is a shame

Somewhat Quirky Site!

Our first ever stay at this site. Chosen because of its location near Leyburn. I suppose I would call the site Rustic as its not like the majority of Club sites. That is not a particularly bad thing. I quite liked the site but my wife wasn't sure. The site is set out in various areas with a varying number of pitches in each area, some on terraces. Most of the pitches are not very level. I don't think this will bother most caravanners but it is more of a problem for motorhomes. Whilst you can find a few decent sized pitches many of the are on the small side. The toilet block is old but clean and functional. One plus was the open grill motorhome waste point. Currently no site wide WiFi but I did find the 4G signal pretty good which allowed me to tether my phone for internet access. The TV signal was not too bad with the roof top aerial but we did experience picture break up at times.  There is no site shop. The Market Town of Leyburn is about a mile and half from the site. There is a bus service, which is fairly limited. However by the time you get to the bus stop you are almost half way to town. If heritage railways are your thing the Wensleydale Railway has a station as you enter Leyburn. The town has a nice Market Square and there are lots of cafes and pubs, plus a useful Co-Op supermarket.
