Lovely site in a good location
Warm and welcoming wardens. 20 minutes walk into the beautiful market town of Leyburn. Only stayed for 3 nights but would return to this site. Lovely hot showers and well heated public rooms.Â

Yorkshire at its best
Very welcoming and helpful staff. Great location and some good achievable walks. Leyburn a short walk away that has good places to eat and good shops.
Perfect once we got there
Beautiful location, ideally placed for nearby attractions ie forbidden corner. Toilets/shower block clean and warm. Very helpful wardens (we arrived late after car trouble). Â Lots of wildlife at the site.Â
A Yorkshire Gem
we stayed here in May, weather was unbelievable beautifully tranquil site, lovely facilities and very pleasant wardens, nice market town within walking distance.
Pleasant site in a good location
Enjoyed a pleasant 2 nights at this quiet site in late October. Very pleasant warden.The facilities need updating. The shower cubicles were in poor condition. The site was very muddy. More gravel is needed on the tracks and hard standings. We had an easy stroll into Leyburn, a very nice little town. We used our bus passes on the little white bus from Leyburn to Hawes, a lovely bus ride passing through beautiful scenery and pretty villages. We look forward to another visit, hopefully the showers and roads will be improved by our next visit.

Discover the lesser known Dales of Yorkshire
The setting and area is superb just a twenty minute walk from beautiful Leyburn a Dales town of great character. You can go for the natural gems like the village of Reeth or the noble Richmond or the more obscure folly of the 'Forbidden corner' which is only four miles from the site.
Practical implications - narrow approach and steep climb on way out but as long as youre prepared and leave before midday should not be a problem. Friendly welcome from wardens. TV signal a bit patchy with a normal caravan aerial but we went on the high area to help get a better signal. was disappointed with no Wi-Fi on site but just enjoy the peace and quiet instead. Facilites all very clean. Nicely laid out in pitching areas and not regimental. Enjoy but bring your outdoor gear inc boots !!

My favourite site
I have been coming to this and other sites from here to Bognor Regis since 2009 and have always found staff here very friendly and helpful.
I am quite severly disabled and have always found the disabled facilities clean and well serviced access to them is better now the radar key service is used as the key is larger than a chub and so is easier to hold and use. I find the site is quite central to go out from to areas such as the lakes (just over about an hour away) also some local attractions such as the ice cream and chocolate factories along with many local castles and places of interest. The site is always clean and tidy with plenty of space between pitches. For anyone who likes seeing steam trains running there are several extreemly good viewing areas both from above on a small bridge or at track level by the pedestian crossing gates just by the site giving excellent oportunities for photographs.

Report
Stopped two nights. Nice & quite site with a 20 mintue walk into Leyburn. Toilets clean & plenty of hot water for showers. Site was a bit muddy but it was Oct/Nov time. Would go there again.
Lovely Little Site
A one night stop at this site, very pleasant and helpful staff. We arrived and set up, had a small problem with the electrics, this was easily and quickly resolved with the warden. If anything the site whilst spotlessly clean, it could do with a overhaul, just to bring it in line with all the other club sites, some things are getting a little tired and dated. Having said that we will return in the near future.
Lovely site, friendly wardens
The site was lovely and relaxing, with extremely friendly and helpful wardens. The facilities were a bit tired and in need of some tlc, but there was plenty of good hot water. Also the site was very muddy and as there had not been much rain,I suspect would have been much worse in wet weather, so some gravel would have helped.
Easy to walk into Leyburn where everyone was incredibly friendly, which was our experience in all the local places we visited. Lots of fantastic waterfalls, wonderful cheeses, bread and local ales, and a very much loved old steam train. So overall, a lovely stay.
