 Just visited this site for the August Bank Holiday week-end. The trip was for my daughters 11th birthday. My booking was for 1 adult and 4 children for which I was charged £30 per night, that is for a tent with electrics.
The water completely went off on several occasions and only 3 showers worked for a fully booked campsite all week-end.
We dined at the Craven Arms one evening, the cheapest adult meal was a £10.95 lasagne. The children's meals £5.95. The portion size for the children was just about adequate for my oldest child who is 14. The meal was really nice and the Cruick barn was beautiful.

What a lovely spot! Booked months in advance as it proved very popular. The spot is gorgeous, Appletreewick is a lovely place. Two pubs both lovely.
We started as 2 small tents and added the last minute, the owners were very accommodating and gave us a huge spot! The facilities are basic and not many loo's or showers but the site was a bit empty due to very wet weather. The weekend was a wash out weather wise and we took shelter in the pub one aft which was very nice!
I would say it is a lovely spot, basic facilities but clean and tidy! I agree with a previous comment hough in that it is a bit pricey for what it is, but think the area makes it worth it!
Would visits again and get some walking in but was too wet on this occasion!

This site is in a nice location right next to the footpath that goes to grassington / burnsall and bolton abbey. The showers are used by all- not separated into men and women but they are clean.
Site was full when we where here and coped well never had to wait for toilet or a shower. Think they could do with putting better washing facilities in as a lady I did not want all to see me trying to have a good wash so enclosed wash basin would be good.
The pubs were expensive for food, and especially the craven arms and the portion size my hubby got sausage and mash and got 2 sausages even travel you get 3 and for 10.50 a bit of a cheek.Near shop is grassington or skipton for big shop.
Small van comes on a morning with basics and sweets and papers. The site is expensive for what is there we paid £18 for 2 adults and 1 dog for caravan all inc awning and elec but for each child £3 each.

Really lovely campsite, well located with a river on one edge. Good shower, toilet, washing-up block, though when the site is full be prepared to queue. Owners have a zero-tolerance approach to noise and behaviour, which meant that though busy the site was relatively quiet.
Great local pubs within walking distance - check out the crook barn and its supply of local ales and whisky.
One downside to the site is that, being so close to the river, midges can be a problem.
Also, book early, as this site is clearly very popular. We booked three weeks in advance early Summer, and only just got in.

Love it love it love it. Have been twice this year once with group of friends and once with another couple. The children loved being near the river and collecting fresh eggs from the chickens.
The facilities were good and always clean and the couple that own the site are lovely and really helpful. Really felt like we had got away from it all. Will definitely be back next year.

We came in a group of 5 families for 2 little girls' 5th birthdays. We had to book in advance and were told that the campsite was fully booked, but we had plenty of room in the '2nd' field (no electricity) although the other field did look a bit cramped. We had lots of room for our kids to play & have their own sports day. The campsite was lively during the day but quiet at night.
The campsite is in a lovely location, by the river, although several of us got bitten to death one night by the midges, so take lots of repellent!
A couple of pubs within walking distance were sampled by the dads & given the thumbs up. We used the mobile shop which visited each day for bread, milk & newspapers. Showers were busy, but clean and the ladies were stocked with nice handwash & hand cream and even a socket for hairdrier or straighteners!
After working hard all week this idyllic spot was a welcome treat.
We visited Burnsall on the way back for a lovely father's day Sunday lunch at the Red Lion too!

Really disappointed with this site where we stayed for 5 nights. Owner was quite rude when we arrived and asked us not to use half of the pitch assigned to us as it needed a rest from being used a few days previous. This meant we could not pitch our hartford l, for it was too large. Another caravanner had also parked their car on our pitch and were not in to move it. We were not offered another pitch.
Caravanners however seemed to get preferential treatment even able to pitch awning over a bit we were told not too! On the subject of pitches, tents and caravans were packed really really tightly with one backpaker practically pitching between our guy ropes!
The weather was atrocious when we were there and the field really suffered. The roads became like rivers and the field got really boggy - not even a dry track to the toilets.
Toilets were always clean (3 toilets and sinks). Soap and dryer included. 6? showers and a family shower room. We had to wait for the family room on 2 occasions - both times being occupied by a single person! Showers not very powerful but always warm. There is an under cover dish wash area. They are very keen on recycling and provide pails for this. Also provide racks for disposable bbq. A small selection of tourist info available.
Great bank for climbing on the other side of the road and a lovely walk by the river. Both great for kids but would need supervision in my opinion. A huge field next to the site for ball games but children were still playing tennis, football etc on the road around the site - damaging my car on one occasion. The field also hosted a local cricket match on the Wednesday night!
The village has a church and 2 pubs (no shop). We ate at the New Inn twice and the service and food was fantastic. Pie night on Wed and steak night on Friday. Open all day. The road past the site was quite busy - not quite the quiet location we thought.
The shop in a van came every morning between 8 and 9 and stocked a good range of things.
The site does have a lot of rules but they do not seem to be enforced. We had a small dog come into a tent twice in our visit even though rules stated that dogs should be on leads - turned out it was owners dog.
We paid £16 a night which we thought was expensive for the standard and quality of the site.
Oh and take something that keeps midges away. They were rampant from early evening onwards.
Try Bolton Abbey, Bolton and Embsay steam train, Skipton and the castle and great fish and chips at Bizzies in skipton,
This site is ideal for walking or cycling with beautiful country side. It just wasn't for us!

We booked this last minute - my mum was staying at the Eshton Road site in Gargrave and we needed somewhere close as their site was full. I called Masons on a Friday morning for arrival Friday night and they managed to accommodate us. The road in was a bit hairy - not very wide and we were praying we wouldn't meet another car, let alone a caravan!
We didn't like the site but it had had nothing to do with the staff, who were really helpful.
We were eaten alive by midges the moment we opened the car door and there was no break from them! We were on a sloping pitch meant for tents really, the power supply was too far away for our lead and we had to phone my mum to come from Gargrave with a spare as we didn't have one and there was no shop on site.
Kids were sliding down the steep hill opposite the site on dinghies and having a whale of a time well past dark - which was lovely but we needed sleep and our toddler was kept awake by the noise. That abated eventually just as the crowds returned from the nearby pubs, so we had another half hour of loud noise.
This is just our own experience. We aren't old stick in the muds, we just wanted a relaxing weekend. This site was busy, noisy and full of kids which is brilliant if that's what you're after and I'm sure we'd love it if our little one was a bit older.
We had a fantastic day out in Skipton on the Saturday which made up for it by far.
The toilets and showers were basic but fine. The river is really close and ideal for families. All round a nice site but the midges and noise meant that we'll choose somewhere different next time!

This is a site with as great location. Whilst the site itself is pretty devoid of any features or facilities (it's a rectangular field), what surrounds it is wonderful. The river at the bottom of the site has got rope swings, plenty of boulders and rocks to climb over and if you journey to the right along the river (we didn't go left!). There's an accessible path along the river to Burnsall. When we were there the lambs were in abundance. All in all a great place.
If you're looking for a site that entertains you then you'll probably need to go elsewhere. We got the impression that the character of the place is very much determined by the people who live within the rectangular field, because there is not much more unless you journey out. The owner was friendly and the facilities basic but clean. Our gripe was price - a little on the steep side for what's there.

Lovely site. Very picturesque. Owners were very welcoming & helpful. The field was rather boggy when we arrived but when the rain stopped it dried up really quickly. The riverbank walk was easy & there were plenty of children paddling when the sun shone. The New Inn up the road serves great food & cask ales in a welcoming atmosphere. Would definitely visit again.
