What customers say
A peaceful, well-loved site near Fountains Abbey. Praise for spotlessly clean, functional facilities & friendly owners. Spacious pitches offer privacy. Some found it pricey for basic amenities, but most loved the value & would return.

Primitive grass tent campsite
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
Primitive grass RV campsite
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
