 We stayed here for 5 nights and was sad to have to leave. It's a lovely pitch in a big field on a farm. There's no hook up but I don't mind missing Emmadale when I'm living on it lol. You really need a 4×4 if you've a tourer as farmer Mike got his out to pull us out of the steep gravel stackyard. Thanks Sue and Mike for a wonderful memorable week, we'll be back.

As there are no reviewers with a touring caravan to leave feedback yet, I thought it would be useful for those considering this site.
The main drawing in point for this site is the stunning location - worth the max 10 stars. Also very handy for lots of attractions locally - Bolton Abbey and Brimham Rocks were our, and our energetic 4-y-o's, favourites (along with the Ice-Cream Farm). But also great walks straight from the campsite. A delightful short walk along the river to Mason campsite where there was a coffee van serving delicious hot chocolate / cappuccino on a weekend was another must-do destination for us. The fascinating Craven Arms in Appletreewick provided a sumptuous Sunday afternoon meal.
Yes, the facilities are basic as mentioned on all the other reviews but everything you require is there. And for the price (less than 1/2 cost of the other nearest site) who needs luxury!
No EHU which we hadn't actually been prepared for but still managed a long weekend. (Also, take a head-torch if you do the washing up after dark otherwise you can't see if the pots are clean!) Be prepared for a walk down some steps to the Elsan point.
The only sticking point was the suitability for a large-ish caravan. The road in was single-track with passing points for about 2 1/2 mile; luckily the bus driver coming the other way we met knew his vehicle well! Also we don't have the luxury of a 4WD. There is a fairly steep gravelly incline down to the site and the grass (wet at the time of writing) on the site was not bowling-green length; all of which meant we were basically never meant to leave, which would have suited me. But the EXTREMELY helpful farmer and his wife kindly pulled us out back to the road where we simply had to hook-up and carry on with our journey home. You may want to consider this and discuss it with the owners, when booking.
In summary - a lovely friendly basic site in a great location. Just be fully aware of your capabilities.

This is an excellent site for basic camping. The facilities consist of water tap, waste disposal and toilet/shower/wash-up and chemical disposal area. The location is excellent with very attractive views. Great location for walking and cycling, and the local pubs serve some good beers. The owner was really helpful. It is important to remember that this is a working farm - which means cows and sheep with accompanying noise and smells. But Susan offered an accompanied visit to the new-born calves for our visiting grand-daughter. Excellent value.

At £7 pppn this site is good value for money. Facilities basic but very clean and did the job. Very nice location with good views and easy access to good walking routes (Dales Way, Simon's Seat etc). Local pubs in Apletreewick a 20m minute walk away, very pleasant.
I will definitely use this site again.

A basic site but good enough unless you want what seem to be called 4-star facilities.
Friendly no fuss booking and check-in. Large field that is slightly slopping but plenty of flat spots. Grass was a bit too long but nothing to get hung up about.
Loo and showers were basic but did the job.
Imagine it can be a bit exposed if windy but a few walls to provide shelter.
£6. 50 pppn - good value for such a great spot. Right on the footpaths to get onto the Dales Way and up Simon's Seat.
2 fab pubs in Appletreewick which is a 15-20 minute stroll away - well worth the effort.
The local Masons Campsite quoted me £22. 00 per night so Howarth Farm is saved me a massive £30 over 2 nights, which I'd rather spend in the local pubs. A few Masons campers were in the pub and said it was noisy despite all the rules.
The lady at Howarth also was happy for me to leave my car on the site on the day I was leaving whilst on a walk. Parking can be expensive on the Bolton Abbey car parks so again quite a saving.

Just got back from 2 nights at this site and we had a great time. As the other reviews suggest and the owners themselves point out the site is a down to earth camp ground with basic facilities but it provides great value for money in a nice location. The owner was very welcoming and helpful and even came and jump started the car when the kids managed to leave the interior lights on and drain the battery.
The grass on the camping field is pretty long but there is another field lower down suitable for football and games. The small stream running through the grounds was a big hit with the children.
Appletreewick village is an easy walk along the river and features a couple of pubs.
Would definitely go back again.

Just returned from a spur of the moment one night stay at Howarth Farm. We booked on Thursday evening & arrived about 6. 30 on Friday evening. We received a friendly welcome from the Farmer's wife who pointed out the water tap & toilets/shower block etc. There were perhaps 10 other tents & campervans on the field but still plenty of room for us to choose a pitch overlooking some beautiful scenery. We had a ten minute walk into Appletreewick to a nice pub with a beer garden at the front with lovely views. My husband was happy with the Black Sheep Ale. The site was very quiet at night & the next morning I thought we must be the first ones up, we weren't it was just that everyone was quiet. We went to The Strid (part of the Bolton Abbey Estate) and had breakfast at the café, bacon, egg & sausage sandwich & a big pot of tea before walking down through the woods to The Strid. The car park charge was £7 but is transferable to all Bolton Abbey Estate car parks so seems good value. We would certainly return to this site again.

This is the first time we have been to Howarth farm caravan park but we will definitely go back. The location and views are stunning it is extremely peaceful and quiet but you are only 10 mins walk from a couple of really nice pubs in appletreewick. We chose this campsite from the reviews we read and agree it is not the most glamorous but it is what it is. The toilets and shower block are old fashioned but clean and with plenty of hot free water (no shower tokens needed) on the Friday we arrived there were only about 8 other campers but on Saturday it was full and to be honest for only £6. 50 each good value. There is easy access for walking to Burnsall Graasington or if you want a longer trek Bolton abbey all with amazing views. We really enjoyed our weekend and will definitely go back soon

This was our first family camping trip for just one night, I work on a Saturday so we didn't arrive until 4. 30pm.
Greeted by the farmers wife who we believe runs the camp site and told simply find a place in the camping field and pitch your tent. !
The field was nice and flat with lots of people already enjoying the sunshine but there was still plenty of space to pitch our tent and park the car next to.
Lot of bar B que's on the site so long as there off the ground.
Drinking water available at both ends of the camping ground, the toilets & showers were a little dated but kept clean and there was also a washing up area by the shower/toilet block, this is located at the far end of the camping field down some steps but no problem really.
Out youngest daughter loved the friendly horse too which didn't mind a good old pat from the kids.
The views were to die for, so all in all a great place for our first camping trip.
We will return to this site again.

We arrived on the Friday lunch time to see only 1 tent and a camper van. I did think that we were at the wrong place as I had been told that it would be difficult to get a pitch if we turned up in the afternoon.
Slowly but surely that afternoon, tents were being pitched and camper vans were moving on.
By the Saturday night, there were over 50 tents on but not too crowded.
Great weather brought everyone out in a good mood.
Site was flat, enough space with access to have your car next to the tent.
BBQ's welcome, no same sex bookings which is good plus I wouldn't want to annoy the farmers wife. She looked handy :-)
Our friends arrived on the Saturday so we all walked in to Burnsall which is a nice walk on a good day. Not many taxis and no shops apart from a small store in Burnsall.
Supermarkets are miles away so make sure you take everything with you.
Toilets were clean and always hot running water and loo roll.
We will be going back next month for another couple of nights.
Might see some of you there that read this.
