Liked: We had a lovely stay—greeted with a warm welcome from our hosts, Lauren and Charles. The scenery around Dales & Trails is absolutely stunning. We decided to stay at the area of the camp site and just relax, taking peaceful walks along the public footpaths and soaking in the beautiful surroundings. The facilities were well maintained, clean, and tidy, adding to the overall comfort of our stay. A friendly atmosphere, amazing views, and a great base for unwinding or heading out on local walks. Highly recommend!
Disliked: One small note—the dish wash sink setup wasn’t very ergonomic (to low) and caused a bit of back strain, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: The views were so beautiful, really a peaceful place.
And the toilets must have been the warmest and most luxurious toilets I've experienced camping, showering there really made the difference after a cold walking day.
The owner was really attentive and nice.
Disliked: Missed an indoors kitchen area, not only an outter sink, but also fridge freezer and a place to charge phones.

Liked: Wow where do I start. This campsite is 1 of if not the very best we have stayed on and weve stayed on a lot. The facility’s are immaculate and the hot showers are the best Iv used.
The walks directly from the site are stunning. The town giggleswick is beautiful, proper old Yorkshire town. The school is the best Iv ever seen. Like a scene out of Harry Potter.
Charles and Lauren are so welcoming. Lauren spent time with us on the morning we were leaving and gave us loads of great information on the area etc…
Lauren is 1 of the nicest people I have ever met.
Already can’t wait to go back.
Definitely found my happy place in the yoekshires dales
Thanks for such a great stay we will se you again in a few weeks
Thanks Dan
