 This was our first time to this site (2 adults 2 children, 9&4) with a tent.
We were very impressed by the site, everyone was very friendly.
The site has a very relaxed feel about it, there are 3 separate play park areas, the largest having goal posts which my eldest loved. One of the other play parks was beside the washing up area so ideal for parents washing up and children playing very close by.
The pub is fab, brilliant food, although can get very busy, we booked and this wasn't a problem.
Toilet areas were adequate, very modern, only problem here was not enough bins for paper towels, these seemed to be continually overflowing, a couple of extra bins would be a good idea and not make the place look as untidy as it could due to the overflowing bins.
There is a great dog walk, everyone one seemed to have their dogs with them which was great, we had our pup Lola with us who entertained everyone and she was very popular on her first camping outing!
The shop/reception was also very good, small but stocked everything you could require.
My husband enjoyed fishing on the lake, a great way to get away from it all and in walking distance! There is lots of places local to visit, we went to Ripon, Thirsk, Catterick (for Sunday Market at Racecourse - very good), and Knaresborough. All in all we had a very relaxing fab time and couldn't fault the place, will definitely be returning next year.

We thought we'd brave the inevitable wet weather ( Glastonbury weekend!) but actually we were very lucky, didnt rain too much until after we'd got tents down!
This site is lovely, lots for the kids to do,good washing facilities ( although there is room to fit more sinks in- only 3 at moment) plenty of clean, free showers & toilets & pub serving yummy food- what more could you ask for & all this in beautiful surroundings only 5/6 miles from the lovely market town Ripon. The only down side as someone else pointed out was the size of the site bar but we were informed that they were to undergo a refit soon which included extending it & also a new games room for the kids with new equipment.
We had 3 tents in our party & were accommodated very well by friendly, helpful staff. The units are pitched so that there is plenty of room for ball games etc.
All in all a great weekend, well worth the money& we will definitely return!

We have visited this site now a number of times and are never disappointed. Fantastic site, great park and play field for kids. Staff are very friendly and always helpful. Pitches are very spacious don't feel like your on top of each other. Lovely pub onsite we havent eaten in pub but have got takeaway chips from there for kids which is great especially on a fri night when getting set up! Would definitely recommend this site and we will returning again soon

This was our first try at camping and we were very impressed with the camp and its facilities. Camped on the field with the playground, we were happy to let our kids (4&7) play when they wanted and we could watch them. Used the older block for washing up etc.as the other became busy at times.
Bar and food very good but it is a bit on the small side. Staff very friendly and helpful. Lots to do in local area (Fountains Abbey very good). Ripon very nice with good market but parking is a bit of a nightmare. We will be back!

This was our first visit but we enjoyed it so much we have booked again for August. Nice welcome and guided to our pitches which had plenty of room. Two families with large tents plus a gazebo two cars and two trailers and still plenty of space. We had electric hook-up for first time and this was great. Showers and toilets very clean and shop on site selling essentials, the ice-creams went down well with children also
Ripon is so close and is a great shopping place as well as Fountains Abbey and Pateley Bridge all in close distance. Did not try pub on site but other campers we spoke to recommended it so hope to try next time along with the butchers which is close by.
Five children aged 2, 10, 12, 13 and 15 but all had great time in the three different play areas. They enjoyed walking to the fishing lake and feeding the ducks. Dog walking area and you can see sheep close-up in the fields. It is a relaxing family site with pitch prices good value for money and well worth a visit.

This was our first camping trip. What a great site. Showers were lovely and hot and very clean. Great sized pitch. We ate in the restaurant on the second night, food was great and the staff were very helpful and friendly. We took our 6yr old daughter who enjoyed every minute plenty of children to play with and great open spaces and very safe. We would definitely return again. The cost was £13 per night and 75p for the little one.

This is a lovely site. The toilets and showers are cleaned regularly through out the day which keeps them nice for everyone.
The play areas are good, my 4 year old daughter played on the under 8's playground while I washed up as the sinks are directly in front of it. My 10 year old son certainly had no complaints about the play area for his age group.
The pub served the most amazing food (had to go back for another meal the night before we left!) not very big place though for the amount of campers etc. Staff in here were lovely and very good with the kids.
I wasn't as happy with the shop, mainly because of the age of the girl who was serving in it, far too young as far as I am concerned! it had a few things we needed but Ripon is close enough to pop into for anything you need.
Lovely place all in all but will try somewhere else next time.

This is the second Whitsun weekend we have stayed at Woodhouse Farm and I must say that I can find very little to fault here. The owners and their employees have been very helpful and have always tried hard to make people very welcome.
The camping areas are well laid out with plenty of space (to camp and for the kids to play) and level ground to choose from. The site is very family oriented and basic rules regarding considerate behaviour and noise are effectively enforced. The facilities are more than adequate and kept very clean.
Plenty to do and see in the surrounding area. Pubs, caverns, brewery visits, theme parks, market towns natural wonders, etc, etc. Make this a place to suit all tastes.
The on-site pub is great with good food and reasonably priced drinks. Lots to do over bank holiday weekends with quizzes, treasure hunts, maggot racing, etc.
Would we go back here? Yes we will - most definitely (there's still so much that we haven't been able to do yet).

Visited this campsite over spring bank holiday weekend. We were in big field near fishing lakes, and were not impressed at all. The tents were pitched around the edge of the field, which was the only part of the field that had been cut. The rest of the field was over knee high and so was not practical for kids to play football etc.
The showers were only lukewarm and the toilets blocked up and would not flush. The portaloos on the field ran out of water to be flushed.
The pub told us that kids were not allowed in after 9. 30 unless eating, which is fair enough, but there were other kids in later than that who were not eating.
When taking a drink outside we were given plastic glasses, which we had no problem with until we noticed that we were the only ones outside who had plastic glasses.
The general impression we got was that they were fine with regular visitors, but not with first time visitors.
Although the fishing ponds are nice and nice location the fishing was overpriced and not very well maintained. The ponds are not aireated and the water was stagnant and green. There are no specified pegs and no overnight fishing, as many carp fishermen enjoy night fishing.

This was our first visit to this campsite. It was a bank holiday so very busy. The campsite is in a lovely location , showers and the toilets were very clean. Where we were pitched was ideal we could see the children playing on the park . The children aged 7 10 and 12 really enjoyed the park and the big field (ideal for ball games)
The only downside was the on site pub/restaurant wasn't big enough for the amount of campers. Also the park is quite tricky to get to especially if you take the signposted route to the park (the roads were very narrow and often only wide enough for one vehicle not ideal for a tourer)
On the whole though a very well run camp with good facilities and beautiful surroundings. We would certainly return perhaps not on a bank holiday again.
