All bedding is included, you will also be provided with rugs and blankets for extra warmth. The bell tents are furnished with fairy lights and cushions, you'll also have views over the Wharf Valley.

Outside your tent is a fire pit, a BBQ rack, seating and a small table - perfect for nights in the open. If you want a cosy glamping stay, opt for one of the three cosy camping pods. Sleeping up to five, the pods include a super king and single bed platforms that can also be used as seating. Each pod includes lighting, electric, heating, a fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, cutlery and crockery, plus the option to add bedding.

Four-legged friends are welcome too, with up to two pups permitted per pitch and pod. For evenings spent onsite, BBQs and fire pits (approved by management) are allowed, just please ensure they are raised from the ground. A charming country pub is also only a five minute walk away if you want to dine out! Do note, the site is within the flight path of Leeds Airport so you may experience some noise from planes.

Excellent site, no problems at all. The facilities were clean at all times, there was free use of a fridge freezer and sink for cleaning and drinking water. The toilets and showers were clean and had very hot water, and electric hook-up next to each pitch. The only downside is the campsite is directly underneath the Leeds Bradford Airport flight path, so there were low flying planes going over head, but that's was a small downside to an otherwise great campsite.
Site's response
Good morning and thank you for taking the time to review our campsite, glad you appreciate all our facilities and their cleanliness as for the planes, although the campsite came first in 1850 the airport followed shortly after
Lovely compact site

Stayed one night here on way to Leeds. Lovely clean site, no person to talk to, everything was done online. It is on the Leeds and Bradford airport flight path but this didn't bother us. Thought the price £25 was fair but then had to pay £2 for the dog and Electric was an extra £10 which was optional. This made the one night stay a bit expensive so didn't have the electric as we have solar panels. Local pub is shut at the moment.
Little gem

Brilliant little site, stayed here many times visiting family and friends. Easy access to Leeds Bradford Ilkley all about 10 minutes on the train. Walked to Ilkley over the moors about 3/4 hours. Cycled to Bolton Abbey 26 mile return on mainly B roads and similar distance to Almscliffe Crags again, mainly B roads. Otley Chevin is a 10 minute walk away with a plethora of walks. Guiseley is a lovely busy little village with many pubs and restaurants about 30 minutes walk away. The Chevin pub looks closed at the moment but another pub The ING's is only 10 mins away and serves great beer such as Saltaire Blonde. The birds wake you up before the planes and obviously more planes in the summer season than winter. Only downside is there is not an on site waste water disposal for Motorhomes. Telephone entry system brilliant - no need to deal with pompous officials like on some bigger sites. Recommend unreservedly.
