 Me and my family stayed at this excellent site the last weekend in October. The weather wasn't great rained for 3 days, we used the site as a base for visiting ripely, Harrogate, and other local attractions. I have no problems with unisex toilet block. It has 2 large showers and was very clean and tidy with a few neat touches, The owners are very friendly and the rules they have are very good
Will be returning next year

We've just got back from a super weekend!
The views are fantastic over the dales and we all enjoyed watching the cows wander round their field.
We had no problem with the unisex showers/toilets, they have to be some of the cleanest and best stocked that we have come across on a small site.
We went the 'the greyhound' in killinghall on Friday night and even though we arrived at 8 when they stop serving they were more than happy to still serve us, the the food was very good.
We will def go back again, I just wish it was open all year as its the perfect place for a weekend break.

A fantastic place to go camping!
On booking this campsite I was 3 months pregnant and wanted to camp somewhere local to home. I was not aware of where this campsite was situated because its tucked away on a working farm which is peaceful and surrounded by natural beauty.
When I booked the owners gave me more than sufficient information on how to contact them if we needed anything and plentiful information on the local area, bus times, taxis take always, local amenities etc.
On arrival we were greeted by the owners and shown to our pitch.
The campsite has a shower/ toilet block comprising of 2 family sized showers/ cubicles and 2 unisex toilets there was 2 sinks with large mirrors above with main plug sockets and the owners had provided a hair dryer and strainers to make you feel more at home, a separate sink is provided for washing hands after using the toilet and hand dryers were working.
The toilets were clean and tidy and always had full toilet roll holders.
Outside the block was a pot wash area with a water supply for fresh drinking.
The owners even thought of the dogs by adding a hook outside the block to tie up the dogs whilst you popped to the toilet or shower.
At the side/ rear of the block was an area for the waste disposal.
In the middle of the campsite was a large fire pit which was lit on Saturday evening so everyone could gather around and if felt like it chatted with other campers. Which we thought was such a fab idea.
We loved the rule of no noise after 10pm as we had children and everyone adhered to this policy.
On Sunday morning the owners offered a farm tour for the kids and adults to see how life is like on a working farm and the kids loved meeting the baby calves.
We took our bikes and cycled to killinghall where we picked up the signs for the nidderdale cycle path we also rode to ripley for an ice-cream.
The whole weekend was fantastic and we were made so welcome by the owners and made new friends.
We will be returning again, I highly recommend this campsite.

Lovely place which we used as a stopover, though would have been happy to stay for longer. Small site with lovely views, smashing facilities block - clean, nice touches (hairdryer, drying rack etc) and a great coffee shop and kitchen ware shop (I think I am underselling it) in which to linger. Owners deserve praise for creating all this loveliness.
Relaxed impression, and notices manage to get the message across about being courteous without being condescending.
Handy as is just off the main road out of Harrogate, but no road noise and views suggest we are miles away from any towns.
I gave 8 out of 10 for child friendliness because the only play facilities are the field and a (lovely) tree swing, and I wouldn't let my kids run riot if the site was full, yet both kids were happy and entertained - checking out the fruit trees and hedgerows was wholesome fun for them!
Field was well kept, and level enough for one night without chocks, but if we were staying longer, I would have used them to level us up off the slight slope.

Chosen as a last minute get away before kids back at school,
Really loved it stayed for 2 nights and will defo be comming back. Read some bad points about unisex toilets but they are big and clean and water was always hot, also there were plenty of females on the site and they were all more than happy to use them. The fire was lit on the sat night and was a great focal point as all the people came together and had a really good night even with a Karl Pilington Lookalike. All round a great little site that is perfect and positioned in great countryside with excellent owners. Thanks I will be back

We have returned from a 2 night stay on this lovely site. All the other positive reviews are spot on. I didn't mind the unisex facilities, there are plenty of reminders to leave them clean & tidy. Loved all the little touches such as the radio & bunting!
There was plenty of hot water & big spacious shower cubicles. Everywhere was clean & tidy.
Fantastic location. Great for Harrogate, Ripon, Knaresborough, York. Lovely owners who were great to communicate with via email when booking. They welcomed us on arrival & checked we were ok with the fire pit being lit that night as we were one of the closest pitches. We didn't object, but as the site had some really big family groups we decided not to join in.
I'm a bit of a stickler for rules & was pleased that the site had a 'no noise after 10. 30 rule'. I believe in camping etiquette, and respect for my fellow campers is a value I hold strongly. However, on our first night people were still talking loudly round the fire pit & playing music at 11pm. However, one text to the owners & they were on it straight away. Things quietened down significantly.
I will definitely recommend this site & will return. Just perhaps not on a bank holiday weekend & not during the school holidays.

Just home from a great weekend at this site
It was so lovely and peaceful.
Views was magnificent and the field we stayed in was clean spacious and well kept.
He children in our party loved it here lots of space to play and they loved the fire pit which was lit at night.
The owners was away themselves so the couple looking after the site showed us down to our pitch. They was very friendly and helpful
Our family party thoroughly enjoyed our stay as we were able to pitch our tents together and have a gazebo up between them.
The only downside to this site was the shared toilet and shower block. It was immaculately clean, decorated beautifully and even has GHDs. I just felt uncomfortable in a mixed block and as there was only 2 toilets and 2 showers we were at very close quarters with people doing the most private of things.
Please give us ladies a separate loo please and we would definitely return.

The site was lovely, set in the countryside, all the pitches had a view of the dales with large fire pit in the centre.
Toilet/shower block really clean and well stocked, unisex which was really great for our family, large showers. Loads of hot water. Good washing up facilities.
Close to variety of places to eat in Harrogate or there is 2 pubs in Killinghall.
Lovely places to go and visit including Ripley Castle and Brimham Rocks lots of leaflets on the site.
Owners really friendly and helpful.
We will be returning very soon!

The Cud Life August Bank Holiday Weekend 2013
A group of Friends with young children (10 adults 5 children)
This site offers good sized pitches, most with electric hook up. The camping area is fenced off, offering a safe environment for kiddies running around, and the site is fairly small, enough that children are generally always in sight. There is a lovely tree swing which our children loved!
The dishwashing, WC, showers and other facilities where excellent. The hairdryer, straighteners and radio made such a difference. We loved the unisex idea as it made family shower time very easy.
These facilities where very clean upon our arrival, and the general day to day maintenance of this seemed to be the responsibility of the campers which I haven't come across before, but worked reasonably well in the short term.
The owners were very kind to one family in our group after the first nights flash flood, kindly washing and tumble drying their sheets seemed no trouble at all, and we where very touched by their kindness.
Being a large family group on a small site it was difficult to enjoy our evenings due to the very strict 10. 30 no chatting rule. There where a small minority of guests that had gone off to bed, and at 11pm on the Saturday night, and there had been a complaint.
The firepit is an excellent idea to bring the entire campsite together, and it did! It was well stocked by one of the owners in the afternoon, and we lit the fire just after sunset at 9pm. Around 90% of the campers gathered and got acquainted, chatted exchanged stories, from children to adults it was enjoyed by all. However this socially orientated concept is not suitable for this campsite, as it is tempting for campers to break the 10. 30pm no chatting rule. So, unfortunately we where all sent back to our tents at 11pm by the owners with a rather large flea in our ear!
It was also briefly mentioned in a note that the noise in the daytime of children playing had been unacceptable.
Just as constructive criticism, maybe the owners may have politely steered our group away at the point of booking. With a suggestion of a more suitable site nearby. We spent £300 on our stay between the five tents, and this site was not suitable for us, we are a respectful and friendly, family orientated group. Unfortunately we were made to feel exactly the opposite by the owners and a very small minority of other guests. We where not the only guests feeling this way.
Maybe the site is more suited to couples only?
All said, this is, however, a truly lovely site, and you can't please everyone. But for the reasons mentioned we will not be returning or recommending. Such a shame :(

I can recommend this excellent site which is set in lovely countryside with great views and quiet yet very close Harrogate (near to bus route so no need to drive there), Skipton and the Dales.
Slightly sloping ground and no hard standing which could be problem if wet. Plenty of hookup and spacious pitches.
Extremely friendly and helpful owners.
Toilet block is very clean and modern with 2 toilets and 2 good sized showers, however, the block is unisex, shared by men and women and this won't suit everyone.
Village has pubs but no shop (or garage) so planned farm shop will be a bonus.
