 Great 2 night stay in this lovely site. Facilities great even down to the radios in the toilet/shower block.
Lovely cafe on site during certain hours serving the best ever brownie according to my son and really delicious warm cheese scones served with extra grated cheese and a choice of homemade jams. I had sweet chilli. Amazing.
Will definitely go back.

Fantastic site, facilities and site spotlessly clean and it's the little personal touches which makes this site special.
It's a great base for harrogate. Always receive a warm welcome and nothing is too much trouble. Coffee shop on site has the most amazing cakes!
This really is a little gem of a site.

Cannot praise the camp site enough.
From our arrival being greeted by Tanya and Dave to the day we departed after a very very enjoyable break, everything was 5 star plus.
The site had many arrivals and departures during our stay, but we were never crowded and the toilet block was always free when required.
Many places of interest within a short drive, too many to list.
Harrogate 5 to 10 mins drive, Knaresbrough 15 - 20 mins, Ripley 5 - 10 mins just as examples
Tanya's "Aladdins Cave" must be visited to believe how many items associated with cooking and the home/caravan you can get under one roof - amazing.
We will certainly be back

From booking to arriving the communication was brilliant from the owner.
We had a lot of space between the tent and the caravans which was great so you didn't feel you were invading anybody else space.
The showers and washing up area was very clean and tidy also the site was kept to very high standards, we will definitely return.

"The Cud Life" just outside Harrogate was our home for 3 nights this week and they were most welcoming.
Great facilities with good spacious showers, and clean facilities there's also a fridge with basics and honesty box.
Admittedly we were blessed with good weather for our visit but I suggest that if Harrogate is on your "to do list" the this site is not going to disappoint you.
Buses run every 10-15 minutes from the end of the farm drive. Their own website will give you more details, prices etc. But we loved it!

Absolutely loved our stay at the cud life, the facilities were very clean and the camping area very well maintained. Big plus for us was the lovely view.
We had such a warm welcome once we arrived and couldn't of asked for any more. This is a must visit site if you haven't already
We will definitely be back very soon. Also very easy to find the site. Perfect location

Awww, what a lovely site this is. We had made a booking for a nearby site, but silly me booked the wrong weekend, and when we got there - you've guessed it, they were full!
Anyway, we found the Cud Life on the web and what a delight. A real working farm, lovely cows grazing in the fields, but most of all, a friendly place. We joined others around the barbecue on the Saturday, such a nice idea and a great way to get chatting.
The cook shop was heaven for me, much to the annoyance of my husband and his wallet, although the excellent bannoffee pie and coffee in the shop won him over.
We will make this our regular site now for visiting Harrogate. We've booked again as we have a show to see in Leeds and can get the bus back, direct to the site. The owners are lovely people who go out of the way to help. We also liked the sense of humour on the signs in the loo!

4 of the best campsites I've stayed at have been farms. Whether it's their understanding of the land that affords us campers beautiful views & idyllic settings or the caring and honest people that run and maintain them so well, farms are the best in my opinion and The Cud Life is a perfect example.
From the tent we could see the rolling countryside with the farms Belgian blues & Holstein fresians, the Nidd Gorge viaduct well worth a walk (other illustrated walks on site) and the top of the Howardian hills in the distance. The facilities match in well with surroundings and provide for everything and plenty of local info too.
The locally made bacon and sausages at the coffee shop and the honesty box in the fridge/freezer are very tasty with milk and eggs provided as well. Big Up Tanya and Dave on a beautiful and lovely haven really is the good life.

We (Caroline & Alies) aka the dutch cylcists, stayed 3 nights at the Cud life. We were pleasantly surprised by the beauty and overall tranquillity of the place being close to a big city. Our small tents were placed in the orchard among the apple trees which probably end up in the delicious apple pie we tasted on site.
The campsite is conveniently located with a bus stop at the end of the farm lane.
Bus stops every 20 min during day time and goes to either direction (Ripon, Harrogate, Leeds). In less than 15 min you are in downtown Harrogate.
For us being on bike it was the perfect stop. All the necessary facilities were there, warm clean showers and toilet block, electricity for our phones and e-bike. Even a fridge from which you could buy stuff like eggs and ham or put your own stuff in.
As far as cats and insects concerned. It is a working farm with cattle and an orchard. Given that it was also an exceptionally good summer there are more insects but we only saw a couple of flies and wasps. Not more than my back garden in the Netherlands. Cats, yes mine steal food too when they get the chance.
Oh and do not forget the tea room on site. Mjummie cakes and an extensive cookshop with lots of nice quality kitchen items to cook and bake.
So far, one of the best small campsites I experienced in my camping life.

Please don't take notice of the negative comment on here as this site is just amazing (see all the great reviews).
The site is situated on a lovely working farm with views of the countryside but yet a short drive / bus ride to the beautiful town of Harrogate.
Yes Harrogate is a little busy but this is because it is so popular!, there is also other towns nearby to visit.
Yes there is rules but as it is a caravan and camping club certified site the rules are not as strict as the club sites.
Parking is in the car park as we all don't want to contribute to grounding up the beautiful well kept field and find we are stuck in the mud do we folk.
I do advise as a camper that food is not left out in any countryside retreats as this does attract badgers/ foxes and any other wildlife.
The fly comment - it's a little excessive ( I was there same time and a few little wasps ) it's summer and you are camping outside- was no bother you can get a wasps anywhere even in your house!
The best showers ever! always clean hair dryer and straightness and a radio so you can have a sing song.
This site is a must visit along with the on site tea shop - try their Award Winning Apple Pie ( came first at the country show)
