The site is positioned in a great position for exploring the beautiful Dales. We went to Grassington of course, but enjoyed even more the quieter Linton and Bursall nearby. Skipton is attractive with chips by the canal a pleasant treat.
In terms of the site, usual standards of facilities and cleanliness with pleasant, efficient wardens. Wildlife about: deer and hooting owls.
Found the pitches to be the smallest of the sites we have been on so far (admittedly only four!) and many were sloping and hence had a feeling of being a bit more crammed in than usual.
EE phone signal strong enough to stream TV. Aerial reception poor. Club wifi good - esp as van right next to transmitter pole!
Beautiful Wharfedale
Another fabulous stay at our favourite yorkshire site. Very friendly, helpful wardens. Their friendliness sets the tone for a lovely atmosphere. Immaculate facilities throughout the site and the gentle hooting of owls at night. Easy walk into Grassington from the site. Nothing not to love. Return visits already booked.
Excellent Wardens
The site is lovely. The wardens have some difficult and dirty people to contend with as witnessed by what others seem content to leave in the shower block ! Some (not all) dog owners seem to have difficulty in reading or understanding requirements
Top site in a top area.
Just enjoyed a longish stay here. tge weather could have been kinder but it did not stop me getting out and about. I rode the wheels off the Little White Bus. Some lovely off site walks varying from a fem miles to much longer. Grassington ( Darrowby) is a beautiful setting and Skipton is a short bus ride way. Plenty to see and do.
The site itself is spotlessly maintained by the extremely friendly site staff. This site is a credit to the staff and ultimately the club.
Fabulous
What a wonderful site, great welcoming and helpful staff, warm & very clean toilet shower block, nice and easy walk into town where there are lots of places to eat and drink. Great for a walking holiday and close enough to drive to some bigger towns like Skipton and Harrogate for shopping expeditions
Lovely, again
Just had 4 days at this site, just another one of many visits.
Really enjoyed it and was most impressed with the help the assistants, Peter and Rose, gave us when we had problems.
Thank you.

Loved it
Stayed 2 nights at the end of October 2021.
An excellent site with good facilities and very friendly, helpful staff.
Good location for visiting Grassington (home of All creatures Great and Small) which is a 35 - 40 mins walk from the site.
We also walked down to Linden falls, which was well worth the visit.
Local pub within the larger site area. Also ate at the Old Hall Inn (20 mins walk) which was very cosy and friendly, with good food.
Great Dales site.
Lovely week at Wharfedale club site. First visit here and to southern Dales. Friendly wardens who were most welcoming and clearly maintained the site well. Peaceful site. Easy access. Some pitches need blocks as not level. Lots of pathways from the site for dog walking and to local pub (Old Hall Inn) in Threshfield. Good pub grub there. Can walk to Grassington too. The pub “Gamekeeper’s Arms” on the adjoining static site was more “modern” than we expected and we were underdressed in our muddy walking boots and waterproofs! Both pubs dog friendly. Lots of interesting places a short drive away (eg Haworth, Settle, Skipton, Ilkley) Bolton abbey estate was great for a visit - good riverside walking. Billybobs diner an interesting USA themed restaurant and food was good and looks popular for kids on a rainy day. Would visit again.
Brilliant booking in system
Having just spent a very wet few days here and being parked just opposite reception we were able to observe the excellent booking in system at work.
Until the one o'clock rush has finished a warden stands out in the rain so you don't even have to get out of your car and he takes your membership card and tell you to go and get pitched up and return to reception to complete the booking in later. This means the queue is very speedily dealt with and you can pitch and have a cup of tea before going to reception in your own time.
I found the insistance on face masks and only one at a time in reception very reassuring.
In all other aspects I agree with previous reviewers that this is a lovely site in a beautiful area and look forward to going back to see all that we missed owing to the weather this time.
One of my favourite sites
We have just returned from another wonderful week at this site. It is the ideal location for walking with many walks directly from the site. There are a couple of decent pubs a short walk away and a really well-stocked shop just down the road. The site is extremely well looked after and plenty of good pitches to choose from. Special mention to Peter who is always friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble.
