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 Really nice campsite. It had everything you would expect for wild camping. The owners of the campsite were very friendly and came round regularly to check that everything was okay. I really liked how the campsite highlighted what you could do in the local area and you could pay for a fire pit and marshmallows, which I felt was a nice touch. Overall, I really enjoyed this campsite and would definitely recommend it to others. It has a great view of fountains abbey too!

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked The location is great , so close to walk to fountains Abbey , and also to Ripon , along with many other places of interest .
Toilets always clean , plenty of loo roll , and hand-wash. Lots of space .really appreciated being able to camp for 2 nights over bank holiday where most sites wanted a min of 3 nights . Good communication with owner who was responsive when we asked about logs for camp fire .
Easy ground for pitching a tent. Kids loved the rope swing . Beautiful sunset .
Disliked A little on the expensive side for facilities. And charging for under kids under 5 is not usually the norm.
15 a night for firepit is outrageous .
Other than that this is a great site , with very nice owners
