 We were part of a group of four tents/families. Check in was efficient and quick. Pitches were very adequate for our 9 man tent. We were in the bottom paddock. Lots of room for ball games/bike riding in the field.
Toilet block was clean [even found it being cleaned at 11pm at night. ] Noise was minimal, even with a large number of groups around.
3 separate playgrounds. Lovely wooden one in our field, however, the children loved finding 'dens' to hide in.
Took a lovely walk to Galphray, about 45 minute walk with kids. Lovely pub with lovely food. Would definitely return.

What a fab family camp site. Friendly welcome with good clear instructions and map to find your pitch, and what a huge EHU pitch we had. Close to all the facilities.
Our two girls (aged 8 & 9)loved the games room and the play areas, in fact we never saw them for hours on end knowing they were safe made us able to relax too. Great recycling service too, every morning they come round to pick up your cans, bottles, paper etc.
Had Sunday lunch at the on site restaurant, it was delicious so can recommend but you must book in advance. Well stocked shop with all your essentials and daily newspapers.
Lovely clean facilities, loved the fact the girls good have a bath for a good soak as well as a shower. Loved Ripon, lovely Spa Gardens with crazy golf, pitch & putt for kids whilst you have a cuppa at the cafe. Spent a fab day at Brinham Rocks & Knaresborough.
Had a lovely 3 course meal at The Grantley Arms great quality food. Forgot to mention our dog enjoyed himself too in the exercise field and the woodland walks.
We would certainly return to this value for money lovely country site.

We have just spent three nights on this site and can only be positive. We were on the overflow pitch as the main tent area was fully booked, but this was fine.
We had plenty of space for the kids and dogs to run around and play. The toilet/shower block was kept clean and the shop carried all the essentials you could need.
The on site restaurant was reasonably priced and the food was excellent. There are plenty of days out nearby although the British weather let us down and indoor attractions seemed few and far between.
We did eat in the nearby village on our first night and although the food was good it was very expensive.
On the whole we all had a good weekend although 1 thing that could do with improvement is the children's play equipment, however we will still be visiting again and would recommend the site.

Windy roads leading to campsite but plenty of passing places, still a bit nerve racking though!
Check in was efficient but not what I would call friendly. Allocated a pitch and given a map. Generous sized pitch with water point nearby.
As other reviewers have said, there are plenty of play areas for the children and room for ball games etc So consequently did not see too much of our littlun.
Had a meal in the Barn. Starter of soup which was not too tasty to be honest. Husband had pate which was delicious and beautifully presented. The mains were gorgeous and restaurant standard. The only problem was with the door! Daft I know but it didn't have a 'door closer?' on it so consequently it was left to slam, constantly. Really grating after a while.
Went to the swimming baths in Ripon which are fairly small but a great way to dodge the torrential downpours happening outside. Had a lovely walk around the lake, chatting to the fisherman.
We had a lovely peaceful weekend. Met some lovely people with equally lovely, well behaved children.
All in all - lovely!

Just returned from a 2 night stay at this park. The wardens are exceptionally friendly, and nothing is too much trouble. The site is uneven so bear that in mind when booking.
Toilets spotless and water very hot. Cannot comment on pub, however when we passed it always seemed full. The park is situated down some of the worst, narrow roads so follow the sites directions.
A good site for children with play areas. If you are travelling without children we would suggest you avoid this site and try one of the more peaceful Ripon sites.

We have just come back from a superb weekend at Woodhouse Farm and cannot recommend it highly enough.
The scenery is stunning, the fishing lakes are a great attraction (although my other half didn't catch anything)and the woodland walks kept me and the dog fit.
The on site pub was really reasonable and was a great area to socialise since we were fortunately located on the second part of the overspill field and had very few neighbours.
I would definitely revisit but perhaps with my niece or grandsons because the facilities for children were wonderful.

This was our first time camping as a family of four with our new tent, and we were relying on UKCS reviews for finding a family friendly site.
Woodhouse Farm is well hidden but using the directions on the sites website we had no problems finding it. On arrival the staff in reception were helpful and friendly.
We found our way over to our pitch which was spacious and sorted ourselves out. It wasn't long before the children wanted to explore and we found 2 well equipped play areas, clean toilets and showers, and an adequate washing up area. Washing up sinks were a little on the small side but not a major problem.
Two facilities I was really pleased with were the play area by the washing up sinks. This made cleaning up less of a chore. The bathroom also made our trip a lot easier, getting 2 small children in and out of showers can be a nightmare but being able to dunk them in the bath was wonderful.
We will certainly go back and explore the area a bit more. As we were only there for a weekend we managed to have a look at Pateley Bridge, Brimham Rocks and Ripley. The pub in Grantley certainly looked like it would deserve a visit.
The only downside for us was that our pitch was on quite a steep incline, but we have noted flatter pitches for our next visit.

Just got back from a 2 night stay and enjoyed the site, good facilities which included 3 play areas for kids.
We were lucky enough to have one of the pitches on the lower paddock near to the biggest play area, 1 undercover barn with pool table and table tennis which was a hit with the kids. Reasonably priced bar with very friendly staff.
Shop was pretty good.
If you plan on eating at the barn book early, but there are loads of pubs nearby and a Indian take away 5 mins in a car, which was a new experience for us and was very tasty.
We went to forbidden corner for a day out which is about 20 miles away and was a fantastically strange day out.
The only thing was that it was a busy place, so if your after tranquillity this is not the place for you, if you have a family go for it as your kids will love it.

Excellent family site!
Probably wouldn't recommend at weekends/school holidays if you don't have kids but it really is a great place to go if you do. There are three separate play areas, a games barn with pool, table tennis and chess, woods to explore and build dens, a lovely cycle track and animals too. I only saw the kids when they were hungry!
Most pitches are slightly sloping but none of them are too bad. A good mixture of grass and hard standing and there is 16 amp EHU available.
Toilet blocks were clean enough and there were five showers, a wash cubicle and a family bathroom. Always plenty of hot water.
The only minor gripe is the washing up area - the sinks are very, very small and you are literally elbow to elbow at busy times. You also get quite wet!
All in all, a very good site and the owners are lovely and helpful. In a fantastic area of North Yorkshire with plenty of places to visit nearby (don't miss Fountains Abbey!).
We'll be back, whenever I need a break from my kids!

Just arrived home from a weekend at Woodhouse farm, its a great place to stay, massive pitches and well laid out, could possibly do with a few more water collection points as the areas are very large. The barn restaurant was amazing and fantastic food and the manager was a great host(even bought us drinks for waiting a while for food, even though we were in no rush)
My only slight concern was my 8 year old was having an amazing time but she is afraid of dogs and I had seen a few off leads (there is a dog walk and dog shower) That's down to the dog owners not the site. Would certainly go back, thanks for a great stay
