Liked Everything about the site
Clean, spacious, facilities are excellent, staff are really helpful
Disliked The only thing needs some attention or alternative thinking would be put the larger crowds together, or people who wish to be on a more quieter side can do.

Amazing clean site with a great location
Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely flat campsite with clean toilets and showers. Lovely trails nearby and all around it's in a fantastic location. The staff were also very friendly and the shop was priced the same as any other standard shop if not cheaper. The shop also sells common games and spare necessities if you need them.

All in all a lovely site but the clientele were an absolute disgrace!
Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely peaceful clean site, good facilities, situated in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales!
Disliked Lady in reception was very military with her rules re noise after 11 pm , driving speed etc., a little off putting to be honest!, not as friendly as we would have expected, no friendly chat upon arrival. Our first 24 hours were absolutely peaceful with beautiful walks and picturesque local villages ! Then on the Friday evening the site started to get very busy and the noise and mayhem started! Young families just leaving their children to their own defences while the adults totally did their own thing and leaving the children to hassle and play ball etc on everyone’s pitches around them constantly hitting out vans with balls etc., it turned out to be a nightmare! After 11 pm the adults carried on leaving the children to play ball etc holding torches! Overnight there had been many complaints lodged and a couple like ourselves were actually moved to another pitch, but the children were still bouncing balls etc off their van ? Also the site speed limit was certainly not adhered to ! Such a shame that people like this spoil it for others!
All in all a lovely site but the clientele were an absolute disgrace ! Such a shame for the site owners ! Maybe large groups shouldn’t be allowed!

Excellent site with clean facilities, friendly staff and level pitches
Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked First time staying at Orcaber campsite and we're already booking back up to comeback. We both agree that this has been the best site we have stayed on. We stayed on an electric grass pitch, TE34 was a large size flat pitch, toilet and shower facilities we excellent and cleaned regularly. Our Labrador Leo rated the onsite dog wash and dog exercise field. Lots to do in the local area, we enjoyed doing some walks in the area via all trails, malham cove and Janets foss was a highlight on Sunday. The staff we friendly and helpful. Can't fault the site at all.

Liked Great campsite. Well organised and very tidy and clean. I did not have to queue for anything despite it being busy with lots of campers. The nearby dog field was a plus!
Disliked The only thing that would have improved our stay would have been a kids play park - something for little ones to do.
