 This is a great campsite. My family camped with a larger group of other families that we know. We live fairly locally so it was ideal. We had loads of space to spread out and the kids loved that!
There are some great walks in the woods behind the camping field as well.
My only thing that was a minor irritation was the sink seemed to be blocked in the ladies toilets. It was still blocked the following day almost to the point of overflowing. It easier for kids to wash their hands in the toilet block sinks rather than in the washing up area.
For other campers to note. Take toilet roll and soap. There is a tesco and other shops in nearby sowerby bridge for all the essentials.
The car park gets pretty rammed. I put my name and number on some paper on the dash board so someone could locate me if I was required to move my car. Not many other folk did which then of course means you have to go round asking people on the site. No one minds as is par for the course but might make it easier. I don't know.
I will definitely return to this fabulous place. The owners of the site are really friendly. A lot of other sites would be hard to top to be honest.

Great camping spot! Went to Rough hey wood in our camper van and we loved it. Friendly wardens, good feel about the place and not forgetting the fire in the washing machine drum.
Plenty of fire wood nearby too. Toilets are a bit grubby but if you are hardcore like us then it won't bother you at all.
Great place, highly recommended.

What a fantastic little site! The couple who are on site wardens are delightful. They were incredibly helpful and friendly. The facilities are very basic & could do with a few quid being spent on them; not for the faint hearted on a very wet, cold, windy Easter.
However, the site lends out old washing machine drums that you sit on a couple of bricks for your own log fire. Logs are £5 a bag. Not only that I understood that the wardens are around in the evenings to ensure safety regarding the fires.
The location is ace, tucked away in woodland just off the main road linking Sowerby Bridge and Ripponden. Running alongside the site is a disused railway which offers a lovely dog walk, leading to Ripponden or SB.
The pub The Old Inn in Ripponden is very old and served great beer& food. Roaring log fires. Didn't eat there because they DON'T admit dogs
3 minutes down the hill is the wonderfully friendly Triangle Cricket Club. Cheap beer & a hard place to leave!

Great campsite and a very rare find to have one that allows open fires!
Pitches are in a giant field, which if you can get *really* lucky, you might get EHU and a short walk to the toilets, but since there's no booking, it's a lottery. Speaking of 'no booking', we were a bit annoyed to be told this is the policy only to arrive to a couple roped off sections that the wardens must've been saving for their mates or similar.
Thought that was a bit unfair, though the wardens were friendly and helpful enough in general. One thing is while their dog is nice, they should keep a bit better control as he got loose in the night and woke us up snuffling through our rubbish outside the tent!
That said, we'd definitely go back to Rough Hey in the quiet season. It's a beautiful setting with gorgeous woodland walks and close enough to Halifax for activities, etc. The kids did like the big open field for being able to play ball, etc, but you could only do this when it's quiet. Having a fire does makes this campsite a big plus.
The showers at least were lovely and hot!

Loved this campsite. It was nice and chilling. Plenty of walks through the woods collecting wood to burn on the washer drums. Lots of friendly people on the site too. But do be prepared to walk with your camping gear, cause I couldn't park near tent and did block others in. So I guess better parking could be better, but that's only a small issue. Like it says, the roads are a bit tight, so be prepared to reserve the car a couple of times, unless you fall lucky. Overall a brill place

Fantastic site. Clean toilets, showers. Love the fact that you can build a fire in the burning bin (washing machine drum) provided.
Shops nearby. Lovely surroundings loved the woods and waterfall
I took my son 11 years and we had a great time, would deffinatley go back and bring my other son and husband

We stayed for 3 nights with our 3 children. Go with an expectation of the most basic, aging facilities - and take toilet roll, firelighters, a small saw and some money for the best hot chocolate my kids have ever seen!
It was quite busy when we arrived, but the site was clean, the owners were helpful. Our children loved building the fires.
We'd definitely use it again if we were looking for a few nights away without electricity.

I hope this is the first of many reviews. Me, my wife and my 3 boys came here for a 1 night stay to really test the kit out for the summer. For me this site is everything that camping is about. No electric and back to basics. The toilets were adequate and the site owners were friendly and very helpful. The tariff is very reasonable, at the time £10 per tent per night. The owners provide old washer drums and breeze blocks to have a campfire. Plenty of good walking to be done in the surrounding areas too. Now the negative and for me there are only 2. A friend of the owners approached me and told me not to let my children past a certain point in the field as he had set numerous mole traps and if the kids were to stand on them, it would seriously hurt them. The other is that during the night we had an absolutely horrendous storm. Upon waking in the morning, we found that the sight had turned into a bog, and was totally inadequate for camping, luckily we had a footprint on our tent. Other than that it was ok. We would go again, but only if we weren't expecting rain.

Lovely size campsite with woodlands all around teacos located 5 mins away for extra bits and bobs
Owners were very nice and welcoming happy to help out.
The toilets are cleanish lots of spider webs dead spiders and one of the ladies toilets didn't have a lock, toilet didn't flush at all in the mens but I didn't go in there personally it was via my eldest son. Wash room for your pots and pans were very handy and never used shower but I was told it was hot water and clean. Firewood £10 for a small bag little pricey but what the hay your paying good prices for a pitch were ever you want. We're told dogs must be kept on a leash few dogs running free scared my kids while playing this needs needs to be addressed and pick up dog poop. Well we picked up our dogs yet there were dogs mess by the entrance of the fence. Love the use of campfires yet the drums were full of people's waste which we had to remove before we used them we only spent one night due to heavy rain but it gets very very muddy there so bring ya wellies so if you want old school camping with lots of space and town close by this is a great spot will deffo return when the summer comes

Excellent Campsite. Great Scenery all around this campsite. Showers were great. Local Cricket Club a 5 min walk away. John's cafe was great. We will definitely be returning :) The only constructive feedback I will say is the toilets need toilet roll and a bit more light. No need to take your own fire pit the washing machine drums they provide are great for fires.
