Hi we are looking at a weekend at the end of May for 2 Adults camping around The Yorkshire Dales,  I would be grateful for any recomendations for a nice quality site ?

Ideally with EHU, the tent we have is a Outwell Montana 6.

Thanks Nick.

Howe Gill, between Bolton Abbey and Appletreewick. Went a few weeks ago for weekend on recommendation, and loved it! The views form the site are fantastic, theres great walking and a couple of nice pubs about a mile's walk away either by road or along the river.

Loos etc are great, theres a little shop where you can also get a brew and sit out on the little terrace.

Very peaceful, miles from the nearest main road!

Really appeciate the replies, thanks.

The site looks ideal but unfortuantely it`s booked up that weekend , we have also tried about 30 other camp sites too and still going !

We are new to camping and I think we are learning a lesson !,  this thread should of been entitled "What chance do I have in booking a decent campsite for Spring Bank at short notice !!! "

 

Thanks again Nick

That's something which you'll learn quickly: due to its popularity, camping, caravanning and motorhoming is now not quite as carefree in that way as it once was. When we first started out with a tent, about 30+ years ago (I know, that was in the last century and seems ages ago now!), we often decided on the last minute to go away for the weekend, packed up the tent and everything else, set off on Friday evening and more often than not, went up to the Lakes and just called in at the first site we fancied. And there was never a problem, you could always get in.
Nowadays, many sites are booked up months in advance for all weekends, let alone Bank Holiday weekends.
One suggestion I would make is: are you members of the Camping and Caravanning Club?
http://www.campingandcaravanningclub.co.uk/
Although their sites will be booked up more than likely too , they operate what is called Certificated Sites. They are small sites, often on a farm, or even in somebody's (huge) backgarden, at the back of a pub, or anywhere like that. They are licenced to take 5 caravans, plus tents, but their facilities are often minimal. Some only have a WC, some not even that, others will have WC, shower and electric hook-up. Have a read on the link I have posted for them.
They often have space when the main sites haven't, so maybe worth a try.
As for Yorkshire, there is a site just outside Appletreewick, near Burnsall, but I can't remember the name of it. It's by the river, or perhaps you have already tried that one?
Anyway, good luck, and perhaps it's worth booking another few weekends further into summer now, to make sure you get something!

Many thanks Ina, my Girlfriends parents I think are members , we are not but I will try some of the smaller sites tomorrow.

I think this is the one ? http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=5011 I haven`t tried yet but will do.

We booked out main camping Holiday last year , we are staying at Mother Iveys Bay in Cornwall in late June, really looking forward to it.

If nothing else all the hunting round for a site has furthered my knowledge of campsites in the Yorkshire Dales and Lakes areas (it was non existant before :) ), there are some great sites and I think I will be booking for next year pretty soon !

The reviews section of this site really does help and gives me peace of mind.

Yes, Nick, that is the site I meant. We have walked along the river there and it seems nice, although never stayed there.
Glad you have got somewhere to look forward to at the end of June, and yes, you are right, you now know a lot more about campsites in Yorkshire than you used to, so every cloud and all that!
Hope you get fixed up somewhere even at this late stage, good luck once again!

Thanks to everyone for there suggestions after ringing round for days we found this campsite at High Laning with a pitch avaible + EHU in the Lake District.

http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=2905

Sounds like we might be crammed in from the reviews but it`s a nice area and we are happy to have found somewhere.

Next year I am booking early !

Thanks again

Nick.
