Views were beautiful, quiet location but close to places of interest.
Would definitely recommend and do a return visit!

Liked The location, the views. Very clean, the facilities are great. Little kitchen you can use. The lakes are brilliant, for wild swimming or using paddle boards etc. You can hire fire pits, we loved that for the nights and toasted marshmallows for the kids. The best sunsets !

Liked This site was fantastic, especially the scenery!
The kitchen was a bonus to use the fridge for milk ect.. and the showers!

Disliked I think bringing electricity to some spots would be great

From the manager: Thankyou for your comments. At this time we haven't any plans on making some pitches electric. Thankyou for the thought though.😊

Liked We have previously camped here in our tent. The site is absolutely lovely and the facilities are really good. The views are amazing. The lakes and sauna are a fantastic part of the site.
We stayed in a pod this week with the grandkids. They loved it. The pods are done to a great standard and have everything you need. The bed was really comfortable. The location of the pods next to the trees is lovely. They feel very private and have lots of space.
Highly recommend. This place is a gem and we only live 20 minutes away. How lucky!
Can't wait to visit again!
The owners are really friendly and helpful too.

From the manager: Thankyou for your review. Really glad you enjoyed your stay with us. See you again soon.😊

Liked Lovely warm welcome upon arrival. Great site with fabulous views. You can pitch up anywhere you like, no restrictions.

3 lakes for swimming and a sauna onsite which can be booked online via a separate company.

Lovely wooded area for dog walks and the walk into Skipton was great, well signposted from the site.

Showers and toilets available, two outside sinks for cleaning, kitchen area with access to more sinks and a kettle, fridge and freezer. Sockets and usbs available for charging phones etc.

The site was fairly quiet which was ideal.
A few people had their dogs off leads but most kept them on leads.

Disliked Could do with a separate area for drying hair but ultimately you go camping so having access to a hairdryer etc is pure luxury. There was a hair dryer in the kitchen area but not ideal when people are in there making a cuppa etc.

From the manager: Thankyou for you comments. I know it isnt ideal having a hairdryer in the kitchen area, but at the moment there isnt anywhere else to put it.😊

Liked The overall cleanliness is excellent and the well equiped pod is extremely convenient instead of having to set up camp with our tent which we have done for many years. Campsite clean and peaceful with areas to walk and space to play. Fantastic views, central to local amenities.

Disliked Nothing I can think of apart from a slug that had managed to sneak into the shower!

From the manager: Thanks for your comments. A slug in the shower.....how dare it

Liked Lovely campsite great facilities and location. Staff very friendly and helpful. Great that there was a lake to swim in my lad loved it.

Disliked The darkness could do with some solar lights upto toilets on the path.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Glad you liked your stay with us. We arn,t allowed to put uplights on the site. So we did put solar down lights around the site, but they keep getting removed by people. We will as soon as i get chance get more.😊

Liked Lovely place to stop, highly recommend for a get away from it all break

Liked If you’re looking for the perfect blend of tranquillity beauty and convenience this campsite is a hidden gem. From the moment you arrive there’s a sense of calm that wraps around you the only sounds are the live stock on the hills around you and the occasional splash from the wild swimming spot. What is a unique feature is that you just choose your pitch around the site no boundaries and if you don’t like it you simply move.

The views are nothing short of breathtaking. There’s rolling hills all around you only beaten by the spectacular sunset views. Walking routes start right from the site leading you through gorgeous countryside where you can completely lose track of time or head towards the nearest town for a lovely day out.

One of the highlights is the wild swimming facilities It’s the kind of experience that makes you feel alive, grounded, and miles away from everything.

What’s amazing is that although it feels like you’re in the middle of nowhere total escape from the world you’re actually less than a 10minute drive from charming little towns full of independent shops cafés, and friendly locals or tourists attractions It’s the best of both worlds total seclusion without the inconvenience.

If you need somewhere to truly recharge connect with nature and enjoy stunning scenery without accessibility this place will capture your heart.

The owners deserve a special mention they are some of the friendliest host we’ve met (with the cutest dog Millie)Always on hand to help regularly checked in to make sure everything was perfect for our stay without ever being intrusive. You can feel how much they genuinely care about every guest’s experience.
The shower block is kept clean and has everything you need the kitchen area is a great little extra with its kettle and washer and freezer which on a site with no electric pitches comes in handy. WiFi was strong too.)
Quite a new site that is obviously going to go from strength to strength and we can’t wait to visit again to see how it’s progressing.
