What customers say
Lovely, tranquil campsite by the River Wharfe with stunning views & Dales Way access. Praised for friendly owners, clean facilities & relaxed vibe. Some note spotty cell service & wish for more restrooms when busy, but it's a highly recommended nature getaway. Guests eager to return.

Excellent site, friendly owner and very peaceful.
Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked Amazing peaceful site. Next to the river, ideal for a wild swim or kayak. Walked into Appletreewick along the river. Beautiful walk.
Disliked Toilets are very basic and not very private - gaps in the wood for people to see in! . 2 toilets for the whole site and only 1 shower. No Elsan point either which is needed with limited facilities.

From the manager: Thank you for your review due to the very dry weather the wood has shrunk on the toilets. We have coverd half and are waiting on more wood to be delivered for round the back. For next year there certainly will be more toilets available.
Lovely pitching place. Will be returning!

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked What’s not to like, the scenery, location, owner, peace and tranquility were all absolutely amazing, I can not recommend this site enough, we have just had the most perfect weekend at Pasture pitches and will definitely be returning many times. The owner was the most friendly and helpful that we have ever come across, the location is stunning with the beautiful river a stones throw from your pitch. Facilities were immaculate and cleaned very regularly.
Disliked Nothing

Fantastic site with easy access to river and pebble beach.
Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked The views, the river, close proximity to Bolton Abbey and Appletreewick.If you like wild camping this site is for you. Owner was lovely and helpful.
Disliked Not really a dislike, but could do with another toilet and shower and dish washing sink. A room with just a sink / mirror as no sink in the shower cubicle for.cleaning teeth etc.
And to make the toilets a little more private.

From the manager: Thank you very much for your review. Yes the toilets are very busy at times we never expected how busy we would be in our first year opening let alone the first month. We have been over whelmed some more toilets and wash facilities are definitely on the agenda
Amazing hosts, great facilities, great location!
Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked The site is easily accessible, and the location is amazing! We went to watch the meteor shower and was not disappointed at all. The river is just outside the campsite and was great for fossil hunting. We went for a hike and went up through a forest and saw Venus and Jupiter low down in the sky on the horizon. Plenty of bats in the forest too. Also was greeted by 4 red kites putting on a show during the day.
The facilities are brilliant, as close to wild camping without wild camping as I’ve experienced. Situated in a valley with stunning views!
The hosts are very nice and friendly also, had a nice chat with them both. As a recently new site they have really done well and I can only see the site improving more and more.
Disliked Didn’t dislike anything!
