This beautiful place is a must to visit! From the warm welcome to the beautiful location I was blown away with this caravan park, the facilities are immaculate and the showers are lovely and warm. We have never felt so relaxed and our little dog loved it too. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

We had a gorgeous spot right by the river, ideal for sitting, relaxing and chatting. Facilities were well kept and clean and the whole campsite was really well maintained. The shop was open into the evening, which is unusual to find on campsites and a real bonus - everyone we spoke to was really helpful. The showers were lovely and hot with good water flow. The one thing I'd like to see would be a small bench or shelf in the shower as not everything can hang on the door, not a big problem but would be a nice to have. The area itself is very picturesque with good walking routes from the campsite itself and bathing in the river was a real treat. Would definitely go back.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us and took advantage of our beautiful location. We do have little stools stored under the sinks in the bathrooms for people to use in the showers for bits and bobs. Really hope you visit us again. Vicky, David and the team.

Had a great time on a pitch overlooking the river. No complaints. Everything worked and it is spotlessly clean internally and externally. Will be keeping this one on our list.

We stayed at Sleningford Watermill as a last resort really, while trying to get a site within 50 miles of home, which had electric hook-up. We took a punt and it paid off. Vicky helped us out right from the off and I can't thank her enough! I would say the site is ideal for people wanting to use the river or families just happy to be outside playing games and riding bikes etc. Beware people wanting to just watch YouTube or teenagers wanting to bury their faces In the Internet, the signal here is poor to say the least. We had both EE and 02 devices and both were poor. Apart from that, we loved it and would return.

We had a great stay at Sleningford, the site is beautiful and the facilities are really good. Very clean and a lovely hot shower. Vicky gave us a really warm welcome and recommended a great walk into Ripon. The local pubs in West Tanfield are a short walk off road and it was very easy to get to in our Motorhome. Our riverside pitch was just perfect. Definitely one to return to.

I visited SWM every year camping with my dad in the late 90's and this week, returned in a motorhome with my own young family! Great to be back! It hasn't changed much but it didn't need to! Got stuck in the wet grass but a tractor arrived promptly to tow us out!

Stayed here for one night with VW camper and tent. Lovely location, stayed right next to the river which we could swim in. Plenty of space, so not cramped up with other campers. Toilet and shower facilities are all clean. Couldn't fault it, would stay again!

We had a great weekend here, we were on a non-electric pitch which was great as you could park wherever you wanted, any way round etc. The showers and toilets are good and cleaned at least 4 times a day. The site is lovely and quiet, you can swim, kayak, paddle board in the river.

The site is gorgeous with lots of campers using and enjoying the river to paddle board, walk by and play with their kids. The owners and managers were v friendly and helpful. Site is very clean and well organised and there's plenty of space around. The shop has all the bits and bobs campers could need. There are a couple of local pubs which should both be visited. Again these are welcoming with great food and beer. A lovely stay. Thank you.

We stayed here on our way back from completing the NC500 and were looking for somewhere tranquil and peaceful. \this really hit the spot, what a great site! A very quiet, lovely location with really nice people. We had a wonderful stay, albeit just for one night. We will be back, highly recommended!

I can't praise this site enough, it was incredible, the location was perfect, right on the river and a stone throw away from a little village where there are a couple of lovely pubs. The site has a well stocked shop, clean and well kept loos and showers, drinking water stations and a freezer for customer use. Check in was easy, the owners are absolutely lovely and we will most definitely be returning.
