Lovely stay

Stayed for 4 nights recently. Lovely quiet site with great walks on your doorstep and a pub just up the road. What more could you want! Friendly wardens and immaculate facilities. Wise precautions still being adopted for COVID risk. We will be back!

Lovely peaceful site

Lovely weekend break at Wharfedale site. Nice quiet site with lots of walks straight from the door. Only negatives were the gravel was a bit deep for our van the 1st pitch we chose was a bit tight to reverse into so I tried to use the mover - the jockey wheel dug in and the van wheels were spinning! Had to move to another pitch that I could reverse onto. Get the feeling the CAMC is forgetting that we don't all drive motorhomes...? Toilet/shower block was immaculate, so well done to the site team for that. Just a shame all sites are still obsessed about wearing facemasks. Most people I know don't even carry one, so when TOLD to wear a mask in reception (rather than being asked if I would mind wearing one) I was at a loss. It certainly didn't spoil what was a lovely weekend. Will definitely return.

On the slide.

We have visited here many times and keep going back, however, we do feel standards are slipping. 0n arrival at 13:05 we had to wait in a queue just to have our membership card taken off us. There is flat land inside the gate but we had to do lots of hill starts to get in the site - why? Instructed to drive off, find a pitch then come back to pay which we duly did. Having pitched I went to pay and to be honest I found the warden to be curt in her manner. Only later did I realise that we hadn’t been given a site leaflet, plan etc. So not the best start. Not long before we noticed members cutting through our pitch to go to the service area. That in our minds is bad manners. The toilet block was a nightmare on the first visit for a shower. I have to use a disabled facility. Bad enough at the moment with no curtain but whilst showering I noticed the rod that holds the shower head was swinging loose. Having showered I noticed that long dark hair was strewn across the floor and this was only 10 minutes after block cleaning. All packed up and ready to go but then I couldn’t open the door!! That was the last time the block was used. I really wish the club would stop harping on about speeders. It they aren’t prepared to enforce - give up. It was bad on this site. Hubby has experience of speed cameras and reckons so we’re doing upward of 25mph.

Pitched next to a mossy drystone wall

Lovely site, welcoming staff and a well stocked shop in reception for those essentials you forgot. Large spacious and clean facilities. Nice dog exercise area. The pub on the site next door (The Gamekeeper Inn) is very welcoming and busy. Best to book in advance and via their web site however if with pets watch out that while the bar is very dog friendly (and serves food) there is a no dog policy in the restaurant. We missed this when booked however the staff gladly moved us to the bar and the choice for food and quality was great. Mobile phone coverage is patchy at best (not a bad thing!) we did mange to get a signal on 3 walking on the dog path above the site.

Lovely stay at the beautiful site

Just got home today from a 6 night stay at this lovely site and have already booked for 7 nights next year. We were fortunate to have very good September weather and walked every day from site, there are so many lovely walks, our dogs Flynn and Poppy approved. Food was good at the pub on the adjoining static site, tasty and not expensive and only a five minute walk, we also ate in Grassington and got takeaway fish and chips from The Fountaine at Linton (£6 for fish, chips and peas). The site is extremely well kept, a credit to the wardens, so thank you for all your hard work. All pitches looked good, so no need to try and arrive before you should (1pm because of the narrow road). Can’t think of anything else to add, it was spot on, even down to the little book swap area next to reception, extremely relaxed stay, very happy.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wharfedale and wish we could have stayed longer. Great site for accessing walks and plenty to do and see in the area. Bolton Abbey and Malham Cove are a must and the walk from Grassington to Burnsal was wonderful. We would recommend the Cock and Bottle in Skipton for a meal. The facilities on site were spotlessly clean and we enjoyed the peace and quiet and the daily visit of a few ducks every day.

Top Notch

Second time we’ve stayed here and I’ve already booked for next year. Can never get more than two nights it’s so popular but I can see why. The facilities are the best I’ve used so far with everything you need plus exceptionally clean. The wardens are extremely friendly and so very knowledgeable and helpful. Peter in particular. This is the gateway to lots of country walking right from the site and with Grassington and Linton also not far away, there are more pubs and things to see and do. The local Spar is also 10/15 mins walk away and it was very well stocked up so, if you forget anything, not a problem. There’s even a large fridge stocking meats and veggie things for the barbecue etc…. This time we went over to the local pub which is well worth a visit and just a short stroll away on the adjacent static caravan site. Food, service and ambience was great. The only problem we had this time was getting a TV signal and that’s what you get if parking up in the quiet corner. All was solved by purchasing a booster cable from the office. See you all again next year if not before.

Absolutely spot on!

We had a welcoming party of 3 staff to greet us!! Very friendly and lots of suggestions to make sure we were pitched OK. We had the choice of any "white" pitch we fancied which was good. Security good with barriers and customers given electronic fobs to use. Shower block very clean, well set out site. Atmosphere throughout site was laid back, relaxed. Short walk to Gamekeepers Inn at Long Ashes static site next door, also a leisure club there which you can pre-book a 4 hour slot for. Good advice given about taking the dog walk footpath to save time walking to Grassington. We'd come again, absolutely!

Our first but certainly not our last visit

This was our first visit to the area in general and Wharfedale CC site. We found the area stunning with lots of easy walks right off the site itself. There is a Spar shop about a 10 minutes walk away. We really enjoyed our visits to Kettlewell, Burnsall and of course the village of Grassington, perhaps known as Darrowby in the TV series all Creatures Great and Small. We were very impressed with the site, its cleanliness and the friendly and helpful staff. The facilities on site are beautifully kept. On arrival we received a warm welcome and lots of information, you can also buy from the little shop on site a very useful little waterproof map (£4.00) that identifies all the walks in the area and small local roads. There are a number of pubs within walking distant of the site, The Gamekeeper pub is right next to the site and The Old Hall is just a 15 minute walk away. We particularly enjoyed the Red Lion at Burnsall, a delightful pub set in beautiful surroundings overlooking the river. You can walk here following the river from Grassington or alternately a short drive of 3 miles. I must admit we did fall foul of club rules by parking our caravan slightly off the white peg. I was visited by a member of staff who explained in a perfectly reasonable manner why I needed to move my caravan 2 foot nearer to the white peg. I understood the reasoning when it was explained to me. I also have to admit we are new to caravanning so everyday is a school day for us at the moment. Thanks to the staff on site we will certainly return here in the near future. we thoroughly enjoyed our 4 day stay and will certainly be returning and this time I will park on the white peg. Thanks once again to all the staff at Wharfedale CC, we had a great time Roy and Val

A Top site in a top Countryside location

A very well run site. Spotlessly clean and well maintained. Staff very polite and efficient. There are some superb walks (in all directions - up to 10 miles). A very good base to walk, cycle or explore.
