Wonderful site especially if you like steam trains
Littledale Croft
As others have said this is a level, well draining, easy access site with short grass. In two directions there are good views. We had several e-mails and telephone conversations with Peter before arrival and he was always helpful and pleasant but we only saw him once in the first week when he called to collect his money and check everything was ok. That may have been because some of the time there was no one else on site. We had an excellent Sunday lunch at the Black Horse in Hellifield.
Two minutes from the site in the car is the railway station where the steam engine connects up with the carriages to do the Settle/Carlisle railway and doing another route the train actually passes the Cl. Ideal if you are a steam enthusiast. If you are noise intolerant be aware there is some road noise from the A65 and the little road that runs behind the site, however we soon got used to it.

Lovely C L near Hellifield N Yorks
Littledale Croft
Lovely flat CL on outskirts of Hellifield village. Walking distance to village for shop, pub, butchers, tea room & fish & chip shop. £15 per night - 16 amp . some train noise (if your not into them). Consider trip settle to carlisle line Friendly owners.
What a Cracker
Littledale Croft
Level field with, sloping driveway up to entrance. Access to and from site is in a straight line.
Usual road noise at busy times is minimal. Train approx. once an hour is a local two carriage, again noise minimal. Owner has put up a special arial, with leads in a metal bin, points on all EHU. So TV reception good.
Although all grass the drainage is nothing short of a miracle. We spent two nights on the wettest weekend and yes the grass was wet, but firm. As the site is so level and entrance downhill leaving was no problem. Views in good weather will be great. Plenty of grass, and no dogs, so bring the kids and let them play. Plenty of small local villages to explore. Local village with shop pub etc., about 250yds away. Very friendly locals, they opened gates on both occasions when towing caravan. Old Swan in nearby Gargrave very nice food at reasonable price. All in all highly recommended,
Quiet Site in Southern Yorkshire Dales
Littledale Croft
The site is small and well laid out. As noted in other reviews there is some occasional noise from the nearby railway line but we did not find this too intrusive. Likewise the adjacent lane and road (A65) within 200 metres of the site. Again we did not find this a significant issue but appreciate this may not be the case for everyone.
Access to either Skipton or Settle can be by bus which runs every hour (every two hours on Saturdays) otherwise access to these and other locations of interest is by car.
The site has very poor to none-existent TV signal and this has been rectified by the owner by the provision of a High Gain TV aerial with outlets behind and below each power point. Extra long coaxial leads are supplied and are kept in the round bin beside the waste and recycling wheelie bins.
There is a small but reasonable Coop store in Gargrave the village between Hellifield and Skipton but if you want a larger supermarket then there is a Tesco's and Morrisons in Skipton.
The walk along the Leeds Liverpool Canal from Gargrave to Skipton or Gargrave to Newton Bank is easy. For walks further afield the Malham and Goredale Scar are worth a look.
The site owner was very pleasant no rudeness as suggested by one reviewer. This is a site to which we will return and if asked would we recommend it the answer is a resounding YES.
This is everything a CL site should be.
It is worth noting that we were there during a period of exceptionally heavy rain, The site did not get flooded there was no standing water anywhere on the site and the motorhome which pitched up for a couple of nights had no problems in driving of what should have been a very wet field.
