What customers say
This is a beautiful, peaceful campsite situated next to the River Wharfe, offering stunning views and direct access to the Dales Way footpath. Visitors consistently praise the exceptionally friendly and helpful owners, the cleanliness of the facilities, and the relaxed, low-key atmosphere. While some mention a lack of phone signal and a potential need for additional toilets and showers when busy, the overwhelming feedback highlights the site as a hidden gem and a highly recommended destination for nature lovers and walkers. Many guests express a strong desire to return.

From the manager: Hi Rachel yes we’re sorry about the loos since building the wood has dried and shrunk due to the recent warm weather. We are closed for two days this week we aim to rectify this. Thanks for staying with us.

Liked Amazing site, right next to the River Wharf, and access from site to the Dalesway walk. Owner came to say hello and to check us in. Really great guy. Toilet block with 2 toilets and 1 shower room, cleaned and refilled with toilet paper every day. Very doggy friendly as well. Lovely walk to the Strid, along the walkway or could go through Strid Woods towards Bolton Abbey. Alternatively you could walk in the opposite direction to Appletreewick.
We will definitely be back to this site.

Beautiful, relaxing site. We hope to return soon.
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Beautiful, peaceful site with great views, and glorious walking and surrounds. Fantastic, pristine simple facilities (shower, loos, sink, water.) Very friendly host and loved being able to pick a spot across the huge fields. Nice and spaced out, even in August silly season! Recommended.
Very little mobile/internet signal - perfect!
Disliked Be aware there is a steep path to drive down on entry - not a "dislike" as such, just to be aware if in a campervan.
