A wonderful welcome

What can we say, we received a fantastic welcome from Sue and Mike who were so helpful, having just collected our camper from the builders we were a bit frazzled when we got to the site but Mike and Sue were diamonds, nothing was too much trouble, a lovely walk to the village with tea rooms and a great Butchers plus the Friday market, with a visit by the Peacock, ducks and bunnies you will be Quackers and hopping mad not to stay at this site.

One of The Best

We stopped at this site and was nearly put off with the review on the "One Way System". But I can honestly say that this was not an issue if you respect others to leave before 12pm. The site is absolutely great and full of wildlife. The ducks during the day are so nice to see and the Steam train that comes past. The walk to Leyburn takes 10 mins at a steady pace and the scenery is good. There is a shortcut foot path at the bottom of the site. All pitches are different which gives a good difference from other club sites. Certainly one for our family to return too. And the wardens were really helpful and friendly.

Review from a certain perspective

As a single traveller with two spaniels I appreciated being charged per adult. All sites should consider this as the norm. Much more equitable for all. The site was easy to find and very well presented on arrival. It was quite full although a lot of seasonal pitches were taken in sunny spots! It was a lovely weekend and I was in the shade! The facilities were excellent. The path to Leyburn of about a mile was along the busy main road and neither me or my dogs appreciated it. I drove in on the next occasion and did a fantastic dog friendly round walk via Wensley of about 10 miles. Plenty of cafes and pubs to sit outside in Leyburn. Not sure if they would allow dogs inside. Despite it not being a holiday period, it was a lovely sunny weekend and Wensleydale and its environs were rammed. Nowhere to park in Reeth! All full. I left my numbered pitch to drive in to town and found someone had taken a fancy to it on my return! Surely it's not beyond the wit of man to come up with a system of allocating numbered pitches? My only grumble really. Would I return? Yes but only midweek and definitely not in holiday time. There is lots of potential walking but I would have to drive to get there as the road is too narrow and too busy for dogs to walk safely.

Fabulous site

We arrived on Friday and the nearby farm had an incident with emergency vehicles needing the narrow lane clear of vans. Despite this being a rare incident, this did not phase the staff here. Someone was posted at the bottom of the lane directing us where to park and informing us of what was happening. When we were allowed on site, staff swiftly dealt with the new arrivals with a friendly face and a common sense approach "get pitched up and come and square up in the morning". Smiling throughout what was probably a hell of a day for them. They were on hand to help us park and so helpful throughout our stay and lovely with our children. They allowed us to stay later on the Sunday as the kids wanted to visit Bolton castle and it had been shut for a wedding the day before. Really helpful staff. Fabulous clean site, hot water everywhere which was brilliant and great location. I have rated it less for families as no playground and seemed tailored for more adults. However, we went out of season and the kids were given a nature trail leaflet designed with kids in mind. So, maybe in the holidays, it may have more young people bounding around. A firm favourite for another visit. Thank you

The most helpful wardens - enjoyable weekend away

Having just returned from a weekend stay at this site I have to say I couldn't fault it at all. The wardens were very friendly and extremely helpful. We arrived late Friday and was recommended a pitch which got the sun all day ( there weren't many pitches to choose from) and we went straight to pitch and set up - she was right. On departure we asked if we could stay later than 12 as the weather was glorious. No problem - the wardens even went out of their way to make sure no incoming caravans were coming down the narrow winding exit/ entry road with one of them going to the top and radioing back to office to say all clear. We didn't want to leave! The shower block was spotless with plenty of hot water. Loved the friendly ducks - you walk out your caravan and had ducks following you around like they are your best friends! Short walk to the pheasant pub and lovely walk into leyburn with many shops and pubs ( amazed tho a lot of shops didn't let dogs in which is unusual for the yorkshire dales). We will definitely be back to visit as we enjoyed our stay and there's plenty more places to visit and see. Thank you it's so good to have friendly wardens helping you.

Good site with helpful wardens

We arrived in July on a very hot day. The warden advised us a certain place under the trees and after we looked around we decided that this was indeed the best place for us. In the morning we were delighted with a visit from ducks and a peacock. As stated by others, the access road is quite narrow and you have a bad overview of oncoming traffic. That does not feel so comfortable but was fortunately not a problem for us.

A tour of the Dales

We stayed here last Saturday during our three night tour of the Dales (staying at each of the clubs Dales sites). The wardens were super friendly and made us feel very welcome. The site itself with it being in a old quarry is a bit twisty and we got a bit lost trying to find one of the few spare pitches! Once you get to grips with the site (I was worried I might get lost going to the loo at night!) it is fine. Touches are a must. The toilet block is on the old side but the showers were nice and powerful. There were quite a few insects / wasps in the ladies as I don't think there was any screens on the windows. Once we become familiar with the site we quite liked it although I don't fancy staying here in the rain!
