What customers say
A top-notch, quiet spot near Fountains Abbey. Guests rave about the super clean, basic but functional facilities and the friendly, helpful owners. Spacious pitches offer privacy and room to roam. While a few found it a bit steep for basic amenities lacking hot water, most reckon it's great value and highly recommend it.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Nice spacious site, very convenient for visiting Fountains Abbey.
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Location, view, lots of space.
Disliked It was a bit tricky to figure out exactly where it was on the map. Would be good if you could get Google maps to add a marker for the entrance.

Unpowered grass motorhome site
Liked Great spot, you can walk to Fountains Abbey from the site. Very basic amenities, one toilet and cold shower for male and female and drinking water. However this was all we needed. They allow BBQ's which was great and fire pits.
Disliked Only thing, I think £25 for a none electric grass pitch is a bit steep.

Lovely site, quiet and relaxed.
Unpowered grass motorhome site
Liked Lovely quiet site with plenty of space
Some nice places to walk nearby. Dog friendly. Relaxed atmosphere. Clean. Friendly owner, firepits available to hire. Everyone was quiet by 10pm
Disliked No toilet rolls or hand towels by 9pm. Price if camping alone is a bit steep, but good value for a family. No hot water, but already aware of this when booking and didn't bother me. Grass could do with a cut, but not awful.

Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Excellent couldn’t fault it. Enough space between campers . Kids playing having fun. Wasn’t a noisy camp site good to relax . Toilet / shower block clean cold showers. Toilet block at the top .We boiled kettle to use for showering grandsons due to sensitivity issues and sat him on a blow up chair to shower be hind the car and screens made it fun. Will definitely be paying another visit. Lovely walks and places to visit . Owner friendly.

Fab basic site
Unpowered grass motorhome site
Liked Easy to find. Clean toilets (did not use shower but looked clean too). Soap in toilets. Bricks & fire pits available. Wasn’t too fancy just a field, toilet, running cold water, sink & bins what more do you need! Owner & his mother paid us a visit to check we were okay daily which is nice - friendly to chat to.
Disliked Nothing - wouldn’t mind paying extra for warm water in the showers but really happy with everything as it was
