Great stay

We have been coming here since 2012 and this last weekend was the best yet. Faith and Dave, the wardens were brilliant. The best wardens we have come across in all our time with the club. The site was spotless as usual and in a great location. The only gripe I have is the internet. I know it is early days but we tried the free wi if and although my wife could get some access on her iPad, I couldn’t access anything at all. Five devices are meant to be blue to access but the one device we could use was very hit and miss. I know it’s in the early stages of the role out but it is meant to be all singing and dancing BT Interent. Hope it will get better It certainly didn’t spoil our stay which together with the fantastic weather was first class. This is my first ever review after 11 years as a member. Thanks again Faith and Dave

GREAT STAY IN WHARFEDALE 'WAHEY!!'

What a great site this is - brilliant access and once there lots of room. We stayed for 10 nights. Loads to do in the area (Grassinton village excelent; Skipton castle; Kettlewell; Kilnsey lakes for a great breakfast/lunch/afternoon tea and even a spot of trout fishing; lovely walks etc.,) We even scored for The Kilnsey Agrecultural Show which was brilliant and the grandchildren loved it. Everything about this site is brilliant - facilities spotless; roadways, trees, grass, surroundings all well maintained. The site managers are brilliant very friendly and supportive - always smiling with a kind word. Just for information should this happen to you - Unfortunately we had a gas leak on the caravan but fortunately (and I would recommend) 'Andy' (Mobile Caravan Engineer) was able to attend, diagnose and replace a leaky regulator and all on a bank holiday - brilliant guy and all information was from the information leaflet and advice from site managers. All in all would definitely recommend. Thank you again for looking after us so well. Ian and family (Member)

Love Wharefdale!

We’ve visited this site on several occasions over the past 12 yrs and always feel at home. We only had a short stay this time as it was the first Caravanning trip for our 6 month old twins. It was always going to be hard work, 4 adults, 2 infants and two dogs, however the wardens were brilliant and couldn’t do enough for us. Toddler/ family bathroom was great plus too. The site has so much to offer, beautiful location, nice easy short walks and plenty of others to suit all walkers capabilities, and all from the site itself. There are two pub/ restaurants within walking distance, beautiful Grassington is a 40 minute walk away. One of the best sites we’ve stayed at for dogs!

I liked it so much, I doubled my stay there! Perfect! Best so far, by far!

I am new at this, but 4 sites in and Wharfedale has been by far the best! The service, the cleanliness and quality of facilities, the lot. Perfect!! The team was excellent, Faith and Dave in particular as I spent more time with them owing to holidays, but they were attentive, available, supportive, helpful and always fun! The site - as I said, 4 in and the facilities are newer, cleaner, better by far! I am sure this is down to the investment being made across the franchise, but the others need to step up quickly as I have heard grumbling from members. Location - I am a Yorkshireman and I had no idea (ignorantly) how beautiful it is, especially around Wharfedale. Easily accessible, so much to see and do. Overall - GREAT.

Wardens

Hello our names are Jackie and Neil Davison we have been coming to Wharfedale for about 13 years and always been happy we have visited twice recently and can’t speak highly enough about new wardens Faith and Dave they everything a warden should be plus that little bit of magic that makes a stay special. I believe their time at this site is coming to an end but we will certainly travel to wherever they are next xxx

Been coming 25 years. Never this expensive

A great site with good facilities. Three visits this year Never full rather half to three quarters. I wonder why Is it because the club has got greedy and charge 25% over what it is worth or was it the 20% deposit that I lost going to a funeral at 10. Yes ten days notice It should be 10% which I agree with and to cancel within a week I will be back next year if the club reverts to a members club and not the managers playing at being businessman

Good, but now getting expensive

Enjoyed our stay at the site which as usual is well managed by the wardens and the facilities are all that is needed. Not sure about pricing as this site was over forty pounds per night for the two of us. Checking with websites like 'Pitchup' there was no private site that was in excess and all were cheaper. Caravan Club have 'over egged' their fees we suspect, which is a pity. Noted that up to 50 pitches were vacant during our stay which was far in excess of our previous experience.

Touring Yorkshire Dales - June 2023

We were touring the Yorkshire Dales and stopped here for 2 nights. This is a larger site than we usually stay on but well kept. There were plenty of pitches to choose from. Close proximity to Grassington, we were lucky to see some filming of All Creatures Great & Small while we were here. It was very hot while we were in Yorkshire Dales so spend each day finding rivers for our labrador to swim in to cool down! Pateley Bridge Pancake House had the most delicious ice creams. There is a long stay car park (70p all day) by the river which also has a lovely walk. Lots to see in the area

First visit

A lovely first visit to this campsite and we were not disappointed. A great friendly welcome from the warden checking us in. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of this site although maybe because it wasn’t full whereas apparently the weekend before it was full so might have been a different experience. Excellent clean toilet block and well looked after site. We are new to caravanning and have been impressed so far with the club campsites. We loved the walk from the site into Grassington. The A59 through a Knaresborough and Harrogate to get to the site was a bit of a pain as so busy but couldn’t go any other way when towing.Helpful that all the sites have directions to it and tell you which roads you have to take. Weather was mixed but didn’t spoil out little break. In Grassington we had a meal at the Devonshire pub that was really nice- definitely need to book and The Stripey Badger tearoom had a lovely selection of cakes. We walked to the Gamekeepers Inn for a drink and were a bit shocked at the price of a glass of wine -£9.20! Although beer was average price. Would definitely return to this lovely site
