Small Tent - Large Electric Grass PitchesApr 2023

My return to camping after a 40 year wait did not disappoint. Showers, toilets and the pot washing areas are spotless. Didn't use the laundry or freezer, but nice to have them available. Located in a beautiful area with many places to visit whether walking, driving or pedalling. The nearby café was a bonus, had a nice lunch there then returned later for pizzas.

Great stay

Twin Axle Caravan - Hardstanding PitchesApr 2023

Nice site in a quiet location. The plots need some maintenance, it was a bit rough around our van.

Superb- neat, tidy and friendly staff.

Medium Tent - Electric Grass Pitches (3m x 5m)Apr 2023

My partner and I stayed here for 3 nights. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Amenities were cleaned regularly and done to a high spec. The campsite is ideally located for hikes and local sightseeing opportunities. Will 100% be visiting again. *Definitely do the firepit one of the nights.

Lovely location

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Hardstanding PitchesOct 2022

Rural location approached via a long gravel track. A little noisy on the first night due to someone's outdoor entertainment but very peaceful on the following nights. Good facilities but the shower block wasn't very warm (mid-October). Everything else was well organised. Handy for Skipton, Grassington & Pateley Bridge.

My new favourite site

Motorhome - Hardstanding PitchesAug 2022

The only downside to this site was the difficulty we had navigating the lanes to get there in a motorhome, if it was smaller it would not have been a problem. Friendly staff, nice and clean place, with everything within walking distance.

Lovely stay, thank you!

Single Axle Caravan - Hardstanding PitchesAug 2022

This is a lovely site with a great atmosphere. As a single caravan camper I try to avoid sites that have large groups and many pitches, so it feels friendly and relaxed. I wasn't disappointed here- the staff were very helpful and accommodating, and all campers seem happy and enjoying themselves. I would definitely come back.

Beautiful and hidden

Medium Tent - Premium Large Electric Grass PitchesAug 2022

Views are lovely across the valley, plenty of wildlife and lovely walks in the area. Second visit to the site and it has improved with a new shower block on the terracing. Note for the owners - Pitch 17 is not great at all so I would recommend you not putting anyone on it and remove it from a potential camping pitch. There are no views, it felt quite claustrophobic with the large trees and bushes surrounding it and has the toilet block the other side. Not a pitch I was happy to have originally assigned to me, or other fellow campers who also asked to move pitch from it. Other than that initial setback, we had a great 4 night stay with you and would recommend the site to plenty of others wanting a quiet, relaxing camping trip. Thank you.

Stunning, quiet and friendly site

Large Tent - Premium Large Electric Grass PitchesAug 2022

We had the most wonderful view, in daytime the lovely hills and by night we were lucky to watch a meteor shower. But the most wonderful thing was that the site was very quiet after 10.30, everyone there respecting their surroundings and this was very refreshing. The staff was very helpful and we really enjoyed having a camp fire. We will definitely be returning.

Wonderful views in deep rural Dales

Motorhome - Hardstanding PitchesJul 2022

Hardstanding pitches were good at the top, quite tight for caravans further down but lots of happy campervans. Alpacas and bunnies in field but no dog walks on site and lots of flies. Very well maintained and clean and the pastries and barista coffees were great each morning.

Lovely Howgill

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches (3m x 3m)Jul 2022

One of the best sites I've stayed at in England. Fabulous views and generous sized pitches - not like the often 'cramped in like sardines' experiences of many sites. Lovely and quiet too. I'd definitely recommend a visit.

Medium Tent - Large Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2022

First time camping with our dog, a Hungarian Vizsla, and it worked really well. Howgill campsite was very impressive from location to facilities and very friendly, helpful staff. The pitches are well positioned and even without electric hookup, we coped with the heatwave with the provided fridges and freezers. The Campsite has a lovely atmosphere, with a different range of campers with families and couples sharing the peaceful location.

Medium Tent - Large Electric Grass PitchesMay 2022

This is a remote campsite but you can walk to Appletreewick which has a pub - book in advance as really busy! The campsite is set out in smaller areas so quiet and a bit private. Facilities are great and very clean. Shop opens for set hours and offers fresh coffee and pastries between 0730-0930 each day. Would recommend to anyone who likes to have beautiful views and nice walks.

Great site

Motorhome - Hardstanding PitchesMay 2022

Lovely site with friendly staff and in general, good facilities. Two things that might help future guests: 1) Improve the directional signage from the road... 2) Some of the showers are a bit on the dribbly side!
