We got there around 9:30pm and saw a small sign instructing us to check in before pitching up. We followed the road in search of the check-in area, but there were no further signs or directions. After getting nowhere, we eventually decided to pitch up.
Minutes later, the owner arrived and immediately began telling us off for not checking in. We explained we tried but couldn’t find it, and his response was a sarcastic, “It’s the house with the chimney†— as if that were obvious, with no signage. He was angry and hostile from the start.
The whole interaction felt unnecessarily aggressive. A couple of clear signs and a more polite tone would’ve made a huge difference. Instead, we were met with attitude.
We won’t be returning. There are plenty of friendlier campsites around – I’d recommend choosing one of those instead. SP, UK 9th Jun 2025
Very quiet site which was ideal for us. The facilities, whilst basic, were very clean. Site kept tidy by owners who were very friendly throughout our stay. Excellent location for walking in the Yorkshire Dales. Short walk into Horton which has two pubs which were also friendly. Would certainly return here in future. lynda, newcastle 3rd Sep 2020
