Bolton Abbey Club Campsite is one of the prettiest locations on the network - it is part of the Bolton Abbey estate and located in an open glade surrounded by woodland and the glorious Yorkshire Dales. The site attracts lots of wildlife with ducks, pheasants, other birds and squirrels often congregating around the site. Within the boundaries of the estate are some 75 miles of footpaths through moors, woods and farmlands, all easily accessible from this North Yorkshire caravan site. The woods include some lovely dog walks. The ruins of the 12th century Bolton Priory stand on a placid curve of the River Wharf and have been painted by Turner and Landseer as well as earning praise from Wordsworth.
Skipton is a mere 9 miles away from the Bolton Abbey Club Campsite and is an historic town with traditional cobbled streets and a picturesque canal to wander along. There is also a regular street market and well preserved medieval fortress, which are a must for visitors to the caravan park. Skipton also serves as the starting point for one of England's most beautiful train journeys - the Settle to Carlisle line. The nearby pretty village of Grassington offers stunning views, gorgeous stone buildings, shops and pubs. The Yorkshire Dales is home to a variety of tearooms and cafes, offering the perfect opportunity for refreshments after a busy day exploring. Dusty Bluebells is reported to serve delicious local produce and fine teas and coffees. The Red Lion at Burnsall and the Devonshire Arms at Bolton Abbey are great options for places to eat and drink that are not too far from the site. Both pubs are an easy 3 mile riverside walk away, in opposite directions.

Amazed and impressed
Bolton Abbey Estate Club Campsite
Paid a reccie visit to Bolton Abbey site today in preparation for a wedding in August in the area. Given the amount of rain we have had over this last winter together with the amount of mud everywhere, we are totally amazed just how clean, tidy and well kept this site is. Top marks to the wardens on a (difficult) job really well done

Fabulous
Bolton Abbey Estate Club Campsite
We were given a very warm welcome when we arrived at Bolton Abbey Site by the relief wardens Mick & his Wife. We arrived in glorious sunshine which remained throughout our 5 day stay. The facilities were spotless, yes there was no phone signal & Wifi but we were there to escape & switch off for a few days so it didn’t bother us. The site is ideally suited for walking directly from the site, we walked in both directions whilst there but did prefer the quieter stretch of river heading towards Appletreewick where we had a delightful lunch at The Craven Arms. We already have a lot more walks planned for our next visit, we enjoyed it that much. 🥰
Great wardens

Yvonne and Lawrence go the extra mile to make this site a positive experience. That said the setting is just superb also with wonderful walks direct from the site.

First Class.
Bolton Abbey Estate Club Campsite
This visit to Bolton Abbey Site was by chance - I was planning to get some work done on the van by the supplying dealer in the Cotswolds, and had booked a couple of nights on the Club's Broadway Site. Then the dealer called to say that they couldn't get the parts, the job was cancelled, and I would have lost booking deposits for Broadway. Under Club rules we can change the booking to a different site without loss of deposit, so I decided to spend a couple of nights at Bolton Abbey, a short and easy drive from my Yorkshire home. I am so very glad that I did.
This is an absolutely lovely site, clean, green and quiet, and with a wonderful wildlife population. There were rabbits and squirrels aplenty, and I was visited by ducks and a hedgehog. The toilet/shower block was extremely clean and in good order. (I just wonder why Club sites have no shower curtains - they really make using the showers very much easier on some private sites.)
There is only one toilet/shower block which closes from 10:30 to 12:00 for cleaning. It might be better if this was changed from 11:00 to 12:30 to allow last minute access before the departure time limit of 11:00, but this is not a major issue.
There have been some comments posted about the wardens being unhelpful and pedantic about rules. This was the opposite of my experience. The wardens were extremely friendly, helpful and sensibly flexible. The clean and well-tended site is a credit to them.
This is not a particularly family-friendly site. It is more suited to those seeking a quiet stay and looking to enjoy nature close up. The site is in a lovely location amid beautiful countryside. It's at an entrance to the Bolton Abbey Estate's Strid Woods, and a walk takes you down a fairly steep hillside through the woods to the Strid on the River Wharfe, where the wide river thunders through a narrow gap in a rock formation. A must see. Then there is an absolutely lovely riverside walk through the woods to the cafe at the Cavendish Pavilion, and onwards to the beautiful ruins of Bolton Abbey itself. There are also riverside walks to the North. All are easy, except for the initial steep paths from the Site down to the river. There's also a cafe just outside the Site entrance.
I was blessed with splendid weather, and enjoyed it so much that I booked an extra night.
From a purely personal point of view I'd like to see some service pitches on this site (and on all Club sites, come to that). This is just a personal preference, though.
Overall, a lovely stay on a splendid site.
Five night stay
Bolton Abbey Estate Club Campsite
First off we would like to say a huge thankyou to Lawrence and Yvonne for a lovely warm welcome and professionalism. They made us feel at home and nothing was a problem if we needed help or advice, and even though they were always very busy running the successful site, they both had time for a friendly chat. The site was very peaceful and quiet even at full capacity. The facilities were spotless every day. The pitches are all hard standing and a very good size, no matter what size your set up. Lovely walks surrounding the camp, good dog walking routes down to the River Strid and along to Bolton Abbey. When it came to packing up we didn't want to leave it was so relaxing. Would definitely recommend and we will be back! It's a shame we can knly give five stars for this site, it should have more!
