Favourite site

We have stayed at Wharfedale a few times, one of our favourite sites. It's a perfect spot at all times of the year. Super clean facilities, spacious pitches, quiet location but within easy walking distance of Grassington. Lots of walks direct from the site and lovely places nearby to visit by car. The Game Keepers Inn located on neighbouring Long Ashes is perfect for a drink on your doorstep. Local pubs, cafes and shops in nearby Grassington. A fabulous spar and local butcher at nearby Threshfield. Perfect!

A visit to the Dales

First time to this site, but won't be the last. Very friendly staff, great site and location. Pitches were large and well kept, tv reception is a bit flakey, but the site provides a coax aerial feed from the service post which resolved that (they also sell coax leads) Local garage has an excellent Spar shop, and can recommend the Devonshire in Grassington

Yorkshire Tour

Just spent 3 nights of our 2 week Yorkshire tour at this beautiful site. Wardens very polite and helpful. Was very disappointed to find 'travelling ' persons on site with one van, a pick up truck, 3 cars and 2 caravans taking up 4 spaces. The usual dog kennels, toys and rubbish was lying about their pitch. They stoid by the washing drying machines for 9 hours one day with 11 bags of washing and for 3 days prevented others from using the facilities. One if them was also uplifting washing from off site !!!! Not good.

Excellent site.

We visit Wharfedale site at least twice a year. It is located in very beautiful countryside with a fuel station, small Spar supermarket and a local butchers and bakers only a 15 minutes walk away. The wardens are very welcoming, friendly and efficient when carrying out their duties. It is situated about 2 miles from Grassington with its restaurant’s, pubs and Tourist Information shop. The only disappointment is that tv programmes are very limited. Although, the Warden told me that they are aware of this and the issue will be rectified very shortly. We are looking forward, very much to our next visit.

Love this site, but …..

We’ve been going to Wharfedale for over 30yrs and always enjoy our stays in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. The site is absolutely fine and the staff are very friendly. It’s a shame that the Club are trying to save a few pounds by closing all the bin areas on their sites. At Wharfedale it’s a very long walk from the far end of the site to the bins at the entrance! I’ve seen members on this site and other sites this year drive their cars to the bins. This is understandable, especially for the elderly or anyone with mobility issues. Surely the club charges enough to be able to pay the wardens to empty the bins at the service points? All it does is increase traffic movement on site which isn’t ideal. Also, on our latest visit there were a couple of traveller caravans on the site. I guess if they are members then they are entitled to stay on club sites, however they should stick to the same rules that other club members have to. I’m sure the wardens would soon have a word with me if I parked a car, a van and a caravan on my pitch, and if I permanently used an adjacent pitch to park another car? But the wardens just allowed them to get away with it, which is wrong.

Well maintained Site

This is a very well-maintained site with lovely Wardens. Nice clean facilities including the disabled ones. Nice walks off-site. The phone signal is not the best but can ask for everything lol.

Lovely site

After a long journey received a warm welcome onto this busy site. Staff very helpful at all times. Facilities always very clean and tidy. Good base for walking in the dales with a bus stop nearby to give more variety. Easy walk to very good Spar shop at Threshfield. I feel we will return. Only negative, why are more people cutting across occupied pitches, not sensible or polite.

Long weekend

Arrived and warmly welcomed onto site on Thursday afternoon and were fortunate to get a pitch on millionaires avenue, a small row sitting above the main site near to the entrance / exit. We've been to Wharfedale several times, our last being 2021, this was our 1st time without a dog sadly. Whilst the site remains in our hearts, due to many four legged friend adventures Grassington itself we thought had declined. Too many coffee shops with randomly placed mis-matched outdoor seating that didn't add to any of the ambience the square used to offer. We love All Creatures Great and Small but believe it's been the ruin of this beautiful village with every shop or signage giving a nod to the series. It's almost tacky!! We are at the Devonshire and even with today's financial climate taken into consideration, thought it was well over-priced. Wharfedale CaMC site is a haven for wildlife and a great base for visiting the area and dog walks a plenty.

Well run site

Just had a lovely 7 night stay at this impressively well kept and clean camp site. The site is a credit to all the site staff who were always friendly and helpful, whilst going about their tasks. Plenty of hot showers, toilets and all required facilities. The area is well worth visiting, particularly if you like walking or cycling. Can walk into Grassington from the site, not difficult, apart from a hill into the village towards the end. Our only issue with this site is people cutting through other people’s pitches to get to where they want to go, we’ve not noticed this at other CAMC sites we visit. Walking diagonally across the hard standing in front of windows, we thought this was very rude. Also very few people adhering to the 5mph speed rule. Why?

GREAT STAY AT WHARFEDALE

Almost everything about this site is outstanding - brilliant site managers who constantly and consistently make a stay at this site superb - great pitch on well maintained grass - excellent facilities (toilets/showers etc) - great location with easy access - places to visit e.g. Grassington, Kilnsey lakes (watch the fly fishermen or visit the nature walk and end with a snack/meal in the cafe), Kettlwell, Skipton (street market, Castle etc) - great local Spar shop at the Shell garage and much more - Observations (sorry to be a bit negative here) Tv on Bollard started well then was lost forever - WIFI both 'free & Premium' are insecure and frustratingly kept dropping out - but I can live without them in such beautiful surroundings - On a much more serious note the speed limit on site needs to be enforced - the 1'o'clock rush was shocking (not by all) and single vehicles were often caught by the speed bumps with a clatter - it's not too long ago that a child was killed on a club site. Be patient. Having said all that this is still one of the best sites on the network - Thank you
