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 based in North Yorkshire, which 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 tents - perfect for those looking to camp in Yorkshire. 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.

Charming Site
Had a lovely three night stay at the end of October greeted by a warm welcome from the wardens. We had a nice walk into Leyburn which has some fab shops & eateries. As others have mentioned the facilities are a little dated but that said they where very clean & warm so no complaints from us. We had a couple of visits from the resident peacock which our little boy loved. All in all we had a great stay here and will be going back.
Lovely site
This is an unusual and charming site in an old quarry, we stayed for the August Bank Holiday when the site was full although it's so peaceful we wouldn't have known had the wardens not told us. Very friendly wardens who maintain the site beautifully and were often visible around the site and were always approachable. The facilities are a bit dated but immaculate and the showers are lovely and hot. The location is great if you want a peaceful spot that's within easy reach of all the attractions of the Yorkshire Dales. Nice walking from the site and a dog-friendly old-fashioned pub a short stroll away - no food but that's just fine when everywhere else is bustling and busy. We'll be returning for a longer stay next year!
Third stop of our September tour 18th and 19th September
This was the third stop of our tour this year to a site we hadnt visited before but always wanted to.
We travelled from Hebden bridge and due to a road closure got a bit lost (not a reflection on either site just my pigheadedness not to buy a satnav!) I called the site to say we would be arriving nearer 4.30 than the 12 to 2 we had booked and was told no problem and when we arrived had a lovely greeting you can relax now youre here!! Knew it was us and we werent the only ones coming on! We loved this site yes the facilities are dated but they were clean and we had good hot showers! The wildlife on site was amazing we put out a small feeder and have a lovely video of Gerald who could reach it!! We were also mobbed by the ducks! We walked into Leybourn lovely shops. Quirkly pitches which we like as opposed to rows. One to go back to for us
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.
