Why stay here ...
Lower Wensleydale Club Site is set within the sheltered hollow of a disused quarry that is now overrun with a vast array of wild flowers, mosses and mature trees. This caravan park is managed by The Club on behalf of the owners and offers varied pitching areas, each one guaranteed to bring you that one step closer to the beauty of our country's natural splendours. Ducks and rabbits roam the site freely and a special area is set aside on site for tent camping. The site is also in the perfect spot to watch the local steam trains pass by.
Leyburn is situated conveniently close to Lower Wensleydale Club Site - it is a thriving market town with a large variety of stalls to browse each Friday. It also boasts regular antique sales and is home to The Little Chocolate Shop where you can tour the factory. Travel a little further afield and you will reach Richmond, the heart of North Yorkshire and a bustling market town. Situated within the Yorkshire Dales National Park is the White Scar Cave, where you can marvel at the natural beauty of the caves whilst enjoying the longest cave tour in Britain. This is also wonderful walking and dog walking country that offers a wealth of superb scenic views and rewarding explorations - so be sure you don't forget to pack your walking boots!

Great
The site is lovely, the wardens are really approachable, friendly and polite, and even Gerald (the peacock) is fairly pleasant
The only reason for not giving full marks is there isn’t anything for the kids to do. There are a couple of places that would be good for a small play area.. this would make the site 100% family friendly.
Of course if you want just a quiet relaxing space - this is for you.
Lovely quaint site
Lovely quaint site and ideally located in the Dale's. This is a nice site and weve have been twice now stayed on different parts. Its worth knowing its built in an old quarry so most pitches are quote uneven and would require revellers as ours did. The facility's are clean but in desperate need of an upgrade and there is also only one block on the site. But overall it's a lovely site.
Brilliant site stayed 3 nights - 7-10 July 2019
This site is one of our favourites. I think it’s Sue or Julie that booked us in and welcomed us. With a big smile and full of fun. Great couple. I can tell you love what you do. Very thorough and attentive on site.
I see some people mentioned the toilets n showers are out dated. Maybe so but they are kept clean and the showers hot. The site is kept beautifully while still staying wild with its resident wildlife. The birds singing sounds louder out here. There really is nothing better if you like a secluded site with decent size pitches. If you are a motorhome finding a even ground is not easy but the staff do try to keep the gravel even.
Just a 10 minute or so walk to the town where you can pick up your groceries for your own bbq or plenty of pubs to choose from.
It’s not a child type of site as such. As it suits couples friends etc dog friendly but please keep them on a leash. Some ppl still don’t. :(
It’s a shame the first couple were not there for our last night as we decided to come back for another night. the phone call with the guy there was a bit abrupt. When I asked if I could reserve again. And I didn’t have my card yet as it hadn’t arrived. But it was a phone booking.
Love this site and will always come back.
I think I will adopt the peacock. So friendly. :)
Peaceful
Stayed here last Sept - and very happy to be back again. Peaceful & quiet site - great for dogs as its easy to connect to footpaths from the site using an OS map. Its quirky - set in an old quarry. Entertaining wildlife with peacock; pea-hens; ducks and ducklings, rabbits. Bats can be seen just outside the site near the railway. Facilities clean, wardens very friendly. Walking is my passion and the surrounding area is rich in good paths for exploring and village tea shops.
A perfect stay
We stayed on this site at the beginning of June as we started our trip around Yorkshire. As you drive down to the site you soon realise this is the perfect spot to relax and watch the wildlife. The staff are so friendly and helpful, the facilities are excellent and beautifully clean. There was no problem with the electricity supply. Thank you to Christine, Ian, Julie and Carl.
