 This is the second time we have stayed at this site and shall be using it again.

This time we pitched up on the green field with no electric.

The site itself is quiet with a 1 mile walk into Boroughbridge for shops and a pub, along a busy main road.

There was some background noise from the adjacent A1.

4g signal was OK.

The site is conveniently located near the A1.

 This was our second visit of the year to this site and I doubt if it will be the last.

There are a mixture of hard standings (some of which are concrete) and grass pitches. The grass pitches were almost waterlogged by the time we left, as there was a lot of rain the day before.

The site assistants were very friendly and we had a choice of 3 or 4 pitches on arrival. Pitches were generally level although you may require chocks on a couple of them.

Toilet and shower facilities were very clean, although the shower tray did tend to fill with water. The dreaded shower curtains were in evidence.

The bins are at the entrance to the site and there are no facilities for recycling.

Despite the site being quite full, the free wifi was good enough for emails. It was possible to load sites with pictures but this took a while. The mobile signal was very good so you should be able to tether your device to access the internet. The TV signal was also very good.

The centre of Bororughbridge is about 25 minutes away, although you will get there quicker if you are a faster walker. It’s a market town with quite a number of eating places and we enjoyed the food and drink in every one we tried.

There are about 4 buses a day to York and they take just over an hour. There are also buses to Ripon and Knaresborough but we didn’t use those. There is also a bus stop at the campsite which lists the times and destinations.

Roecliffe is a shorter walk from the campsite in the opposite direction to Boroughbridge and we thought it a pretty village.

 Super set of wardens. Well kempt site. Very nice sanitary block. Clean. A great site but with some warnings.

It’s true there is a bus stop right outside the site but only a few buses come along; foolishly we had expected an hourly service or thereabouts.

It’s possible to walk into Boroughbridge - it takes about twenty five minutes but beware of crossing the road by the first roundabout. A local warned us to be very careful - we found out why ! Theres more choice of buses from Boroughbridge. The handbook implies that busses run from the site entrance to Knaresborough or Boroughbridge to Ripon, York or Harrogate; might be theoretically true but misleading. We got the impression you would easily be able to hop on a bus outside the site going to, for example, York. Not so !

It’s a lovely area with some pretty villages and welcoming local residents. The site is on the banks of the River Ure but there is no access to it from the site.

Possibly more suited to caravanners rather than those with motorhomes. I would not be happy walking with children on the footpath adjacent to the site.

Reviewer: Andrew 1 review from this member

 We used this site for one night as part of a bike trekking tour.

Met on arrival by friendly and efficient staff, checked in and shown to pitch quickly.

The pitch was spacious and well sheltered and the ground was flat and stone free making pitching easy.

The facilities are modern, clean, and plentiful.

Due to the nature of our transport we weren't carrying any chairs etc. Which meant standing or sitting on the grass in the evening, as there aren't any benches or permanent picnic tables, but that isn't really a criticism as it's the nature of backpacking or bike trekking.

 We were given a friendly welcome by the staff and offered a choice of pitches. We had booked a grass pitch. Good size and flat.

The site has a big tent area, and two areas with a mix of hardstanding and grass. Some hardstanding are concrete so no awnings but good for motorhomes.

The reception and facilities are up on a bank with roads and steps down to the pitches, it can flood so hook up points are higher.

There are a couple of serviced pitches on the upper level.

If you are less mobile it might be tricky to get to the facilities.

Take a torch at night as its a bit dark in parts.

Facilities were very clean a little dated and had plenty of hot water.

Boroughbridge is a nice town about 15 minutes stroll. It has several pubs and cafes and shops. There is a Morrison supermarket on the edge of town with fuel.

Right out of the site is a short walk to Roecliff which is very pretty and has a circular Riverside walk.

The Crown Inn does good food and is a nice traditional friendly Inn.

The site is handy for trips to the Dales and North York Moors. Whitby and Scarborough are nice as are Ripon and Harrogate.

We recommend using the Park and Ride at Whitby, cheap, and efficient.

There is noise from the nearby A1 and a dairy on the adjacent industrial estate but it didn't bother us.

The site has a big play area and dog walking place.

Good for stops on way North or South or for longer.

Reviewer: Wetwellies 18 reviews from this member

 A great site for kids. There is a play area here that is only small but set back a little from the tents so the noise isn't amongst the units. Plus a nicely mown walk through meadows we saw all sorts of wildlife.

Immaculately clean toilet block and never out of loo roll or soap. Lovely wardens.

Good location for fountains Abbey and mother Shiptons cave, both of which have superb play areas.

Boroughbridge is a 15 minute ish walk away with several bakeries and hardware store for spare gas etc. Morrisons even closer.

One disadvantage to this site it is quite a drive to the park and ride for York, but the service there is fab if you go and cheap with plentiful buses.

This seemed to be a very doggy site, with many hounds all well behaved, but might put off some people.

I had seen reviews elsewhere saying this was more of a stop over site, but we had a great week with plenty to do in the area. Other reviews complained about the road noise but we were grass pitching no electric and it didn't bother us, maybe because we were further away from the road or dairy.

Overall, we loved this site.

Reviewer: Frederico 54 reviews from this member

 We booked here for 5 nights. This is our first time here.

The access to the site is easy. All main roads. Good A1 overnighter.

There are nice concrete hard standings, Gravel and grass ones.

There appears to be only two fully services pitches which is probably why we have never been able to reserve one over the last few years.

We were given a small gravel hard standing, close to toilets which we asked for because my wife can't walk very far. Unfortunately a lot of steps up an embankment or a long walk up a ramp to get there.

Water and drainage point right at the other end of the the pitches. Dragging water and drainage on gravel for 100 metres takes some effort. They should have more points.

Toilets were lovely and clean and covid friendly. Separate wash basin cubicles and automatic push button Showers with seats. We use our caravan shower wash room.

Tv reception and mobile phone was good. Free wifi was good and easy to connect.

Childrens play area and space for ball games.

I noticed a field where dogs could be let loose on site.

The river is all fenced of so you will have to go off site for a riverside walk.

The Morrisons close by is handy and has a petrol station.

We had a drive through Boroughbridge, a small town with some pubs.

We visited Richmond, Thirsk, Masham and Bedale all nice towns.

We had fish and chips at Wetherspoons in Ripon which is a short drive from the campsite.

We booked for 5 nights but left after 4. Not worth staying on this site in pouring rain.
