Date of Visit: August 2006 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Steven77 7 reviews from this member

 After reading all the previous reviews we decided it was worth a visit. We arrived on a Sunday for 3 nights with a view to extend. Our first impression was that it was a clean tidy site.
The play area is great for the kids and there were lots of groups with children which was a bonus for our children to make lots of new friends.
The toilet block and shower rooms were also great and always kept clean with plenty of loo roll.
Not far from the site was a river which was good for the kids as they enjoyed netting trout, and the river has plenty of pools in it and if you have never tried a jacuzzi then this is the perfect place to try it for nothing.
Just over the bridge was a single road which to took you up to a village called Stainthforth. There was a lovely pub which welcomed the children and the price of a pint was fairly reasonable too.
We decided to eat out at the Harts head pub in Giggleswick we found the food good and for the first time ever we saw the children clean their plates.
The weather wasn't the best with heavy rain most days but when you have a Sunncamp cottage it doesn't bother you :)
We found the staff helpful on site and were happy to extend our stay day by day after our first 3 days were up. The shop stocked most items you would expect, I found the opening hours were not the best during the week closing at 6.00pm but that didn't stop us enjoying a further 2 days.
Well worth a visit for those who enjoy walks, caves and waterfalls.

 Had a really great relaxing weekend at this site. The site is in a lovely setting and the option to pitch where you like means that there is plenty of room. Some of the places are on a big slope but there is plenty of flat ground. As there were lots of children on the site we thought the 2200 noise limit might have been a problem but it worked fine with no heavy handed "policing" that we have found on other sites. The site was kept clean and tidy and the shower and washing facilities were excellent.
The plunge pools on the river were great but we were spoilt with good weather. The site is an ideal base for exploring and walking. We spent a good 4 hours wandering round the Ingleton Falls walk.
Overall a very good site and good value for money.
One word of warning, our satnav directed us a very narrow lane and over the VERY narrow bridge over the river. We had a trailer attached so by the time we realised the mistake there was no turning back (I can't reverse the trailer s I can't see it in the car!). We made it but I am sure the car was breathing in as much as were!
We will definitely be returning to this site.

 I stay here with my wife and 6 other friends to introduce them to camping and experience the views from the top of Pen-y-ghent. We were all impressed with the site.
Well maintained, clean and tidy with excellent facilities. The newly re-furbished showers and toilets are a credit to the owners. Apart from a slight slope near the river the site is flat with good drainage with plenty of space between you and your neighbours (bank holidays excepted) with easy access to Stainforth Force which was fantastic to jump into during the recent heat wave, marred slightly by all the litter left there by locals.
We have tried to book again for August Bank Holiday but it is all booked up due to it's popularity.
A site well worth a visit.

 This is a wonderful site, especially to use as a base to explore the Yorkshire Dales. Easy to find although don't trust a Tom Tom as it may take you down a very narrow road to the site. Check-in was dead easy with welcoming and friendly staff and with there being no allocated pitch meant that, with arriving early we were able to put the tents up in a nicely elevated position.
As for facilities, the toilets were extremely clean and well looked after (hot water can be at a premium when busy). The play area was safe and well equipped and although it has no outdoor heated pool, it has a fantastic river running through with high diving ledges for entertainment.
Probably the only downside I could find was the slight slope on the fields, but that would be nitpicking. A site to be recommended for families and couples alike, and one we would definitely visit again.

 Excellent campsite and facilities. Toilets and showers warm, clean and free. Kids loved the river and the plunge pools. What more could we ask for. will definitely be back again soon.
The shop was handy too, for silly things we forgot such as butter and bread.

Reviewer: Sham69 1 review from this member

 I have just returned from a long weekend at Knight Stainforth and have had a fantastic time. Despite what the previous poster said, this site does not have marked pitches and you can pitch where you want, unless you want a leccy hook up and then you have got designated spots.

The site was silent by 11 PM despite the number of kids and dogs on site. The toilets and showers were clean and warm and my daughter loved the plunge pools and waterfalls next to the bottom field, although they get very busy on the weekend with locals and youths from further afield.

The pub in nearby Stainforth does fantastic home cooked food and has 3 Ales on tap so don't be put off by its worn looks!

I will definitely return to this site.

Forgot to mention there were loads of huge tents on this site, and they don't even charge extra for a gazebo!

 A lovely site with good sized pitches and excellent, modern facilities situated in a glorious part of the Yorkshire Dales. The scenery from the site is spectacular and within a short driving distance you can be at Malham Cove, Gorsdale Scar and a little further away the Three Peaks of Whernside, Inglebrough and Pen-y-ghent, Also nearby is the Ribblehead valley and its picturesque viaduct which carries the Settle to Carlisle Railway Line.

All in all, a great site that we will be visiting again.

Reviewer: Wilson gang 2 reviews from this member

 This was only our second time on a "posh" site, as in with proper marked pitches. Where we usually go you are allowed to throw up your tent or awning where'ever the mood takes you! But we went with some trepidation (and some friends who know the site) and we did have a good time. The booking in is smooth, they even order you a morning paper, rather like a hotel!

The shop is VERY PRICEY! but if youre stuck then they do stock bits to keep you going. The kids were told to keep quiet a couple of times by other caravanners, they werent being loud, they were just being kids, we had 5 of them between us. One nice chap told them he was trying to sleep, at 6pm!

The site is in a lovely spot. With fantastic walks, its very clean and well maintained. The loos etc are clean but tend to get over run with teenagers after dark looking for a place to hang out.

All in all a nice site, £14 with hook up and extra kids £1.50, deposit for toilet key and barrier card £10.

Reviewer: Rojotorro 3 reviews from this member

 What a beautifully located site with fantastic facilities. We stayed a long weekend and would definitely go back again. The touring pitches are great with plenty of room in between. The toilet facilities are modern and clean and there are no charges. There is a little play area for children which my little boy really enjoyed.

Out of the gate from the site is a lovely stream and little waterfall - what great fun everyone was having in the water and picnicing around.

Lots of places to go to locally and keep all amused or just great to enjoy the tranquility of the site. There is a small shop and games room. The people running the site are lovely. There is a security barrier in and out, so you feel good and safe.

They had a charity 'gig' in the weekend we were there with food and drink - my husband was chomping at the bit to go - pity we have a 16 month old to hold us back!

Well recommended and well worth the site fees.

Reviewer: Mike142sl 9 reviews from this member

 We stayed here at spring bank for a couple of reasons, because it was in the right area plus the reviews were so good. We were not disappointed as it proved to be a very good place to stay. It seems to be occupied by people who respect the 10pm noise curfew which is a big plus, perhaps because it is a site that caters for those who enjoy the peaceful countryside and not for people who want things like swimming pools, and bars on site etc.

It is a large site but the owners are strict about not allowing too many campers on at any time (local bylaws prevent too many) This means that the site is never cramped and overcrowded. The river is a nice place to relax and the packhorse bridge is very picturesque.

As mentioned by another review, you need £10 cash for a deposit on the barrier and toilet block key which is obviously returned as you leave. The Showers are good, but they have fitted special heads that have a button that clears the limescale, if it gets pushed too far it stops the flow of water, so if this happens to you report it and they can fix it.

For reasons unknown, some car alarms are triggered on site. Possibly by some radio transmitter in the area. Mine went off at about 3am and again at 6am on the first night before I gave up and didn't set the alarm, and others could be heard during the day at various times as well.

If you want a quite site in the middle of some spectacular Yorkshire Dales scenery, then this is the site for you. Talking to others on site, it seems that once found you find yourself returning.
