Great base for the Dales, but the site feels tired.
This is an ideal site to explore the Dales, without towing up the narrow route to Hawes CC site, this give location gives many options for trips etc. Important to say the Wardens were very helpful and the facilities were clean. The access was well described, so no problems there, but a mandatory no access for caravans before 12.00 would avoid some clashes. This is not CC owned, but perhaps they should state neither are the pitches or facilities up to the usual CC standard. Some pitches are laughably tight as 'Awning Pitches', we were able to move after a night and bag a better pitch as others left. The trees were probably a great idea when the quarry was first landscaped, but now much of the site is gloomy and feels perpetually damp, and no, it was not a particularly wet week. No wonder the duck roam about so happily!
The toilet block is very old and tired, it is in need of a complete refit …. Or the wrecking ball !, but certainly the wardens do the best they can.
Despite the above, we still relaxed well and loved the Dales.
