A wonderful few days!

This is our second visit to this site, a quiet location with lovely walks and beautiful scenery in close proximity. The site was clean and well presented and the staff was friendly and helpful as usual. The site is ideally located if you want to explore the market town of Skipton, ride the steam railway at Embsay or walk around Bolton Abbey estate. You only have to drive a little further up the dale to enjoy Aysgarth Falls, The Forbidden Corner and Leyburn. If you want to chill out and fully unwind, then this is the site for you!!!

What a great site - so pleased we found it

Lovely location, great facilities, spotlessly clean and very friendly, helpful wardens, always happy, smiling and happy to answer any questions etc. So much to do from the site from dog walks over the hills to visiting Grassington, Skipton, Settle, Ribblehead Viaduct, Malham Cove. The garage along the road is a great find with some lovely fresh produce, cakes etc in store. Grassington has some great shops in to browse through. Loved it and will certainly return

Beautiful site

We live Yorkshire. This site is wonderful with hard working Wardens. The site is large and very busy and beautifully maintained. Plenty dog walking from the site and dog wash facilities. Nice playpark for the kids. Lots of quaint Yorkshire villages to explore in the area. Lots to see and do. We loved it and will be back.

Walks till you drop

Located near to Grassington, the beautiful North Yorkshire Village we see on our TV's when watching All Creatures Great and Small. The walk down from Grassington to the falls at Linton are a must and you can walk for miles in any direction from the Club Site. Staff were fantastic and the shop is handy for those essentials you ran out of. There's also a very impressive SPAR shop just down the road. Feeding the Ducks and Moor Hens just before arriving at the site and the Rabbits pay little attention to people even when you get very close up. Great for kids. We took a walk up to the Quarry at Threshfield where I launched a drone to take in the magnitude of the place. Lakes here are stocked with rare fresh water shrimps in an attempt to protect several small species. Weather was mostly superb when we were there making for a very enjoyable stay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkdmMlM9nDc&ab_channel=Snakecharmer

Fantastic site the wardens were very friendly and helpful, nothing to much trouble. This is a ideal site for visiting the North Yorkshire dales.

We will return to this site again with the beautiful Grassington within a short walk, a well worth visit is the NationalTrust Fountains abbey and Hawes are with easy reach.

A great site in a beautiful location

We stayed here as part of a Dales tour for walking. Finding the site easy easy and it's well signposted. Looking at the details beforehand you don't quite get the fact it's next door to a large leisure site with a lot of static holiday homes but you don't hear of feel them plus you get to walk up to the pub on that site and enjoy the good food (Gamekeeper's Inn). The welcome was great - straight out to see us, a quick book in and then off the find a pitch. Once parked up its back up to the office to pay and get the local information. The site is well laid-out, plenty of space with the services roughly in the middle. A handy footpath entrance at the bottom of the site takes you quickly onto a lane and then into Threshfield - only 10 minutes walk from the site for a good local shop and a pub (Old Hall Inn). Continuing from there it's only a 20 minute walk down into the Wharfe dale and then up into Grassington - such a beautiful little town. We left the van parked up and spent most of our time walking out across several days, following the Wharf down to Hebden Bridge and up onto Thorpe Fell and Grassington Moor. We did have a main meal out a few times at the some great places in Grassington - The Devonshire for a cracking Sunday lunch and the Black Horse in the hotel bar. Sitting at the van in the late afternoons with a cup of tea and a spot of wine was super as the site was so quiet but full of wildlife, especially the rabbits that come our each evening to nibble on the grass verges. While the site full and very busy it did not feel crowded at all. The usual good welcome and chat with member's was a treat too. There is so much to see and do on the doorstep of the site. We'll be back.

Our "Happy Place"

We have visited the Wharfdale Club campsite on a good few occasions. It is well located for travel to various parts of North Yorkshire and is a beautifully kept site. The facilities are immaculate and well kept. The Wharfdale staff are friendly and helpful and make you feel welcome. The area around the site is beautiful and Grassington is only a short (ish) walk away from the site. Kettlewell is also well worth a visit and this (three pub) beautiful little Yorkshire village is only a short drive away from the site. Burnsall is another village well worth a visit situated right next to the river with a lovely pub serving meals throughout the day. We would certainly recommend this site, TV and phone reception is good too, if that is important to you.

Spring Visit April 2022

Had a lovely 8 night stay here. Facilities spotless and not at all busy. Wardens very friendly. Handy for a 20 minute walk into Grassington. We particularly enjoyed a gentle stroll to Burnsall to visit the Red Lion for a beer and fish and chips. If you follow the river it is about 5 miles each way. The Spar and petrol station 10 minutes walk away is very well stocked at reasonable prices. My only gripe is way do members have to travel around the site so fast. Surely it’s not too much to adhere to the 5mph rule. Sometimes it seemed like Wacky Races with cars going so fast and caravans bouncing over the speed bumps behind them.

Fantastic site

Great site and brilliant wardens plenty to do in the locality.The site is a credit to the wardens. However people do go too fast round the site in cars and bikes,whilst there children were going round like it was a velodrome,an accident waiting to happen in my own opinion
