Stayed here for 2 separate nights on the way to and from Scotland. Close enough to the A1 to be not too far out of our way, but far enough so not disturbed by any noise from it. Greeted on arrival by the owner who was very friendly and helpful. Lovely grass field with your own water and electric supply. Very clean and well organised disposal facilities. Great views over the countryside and fields alongside with sheep. You can walk around the orchard which supplies apples for a cider maker nearby, and you can buy bottles on the camp site..... recommended. Would definately stay here again and for longer.
Another lovely stay
Stayed here at the beginning of June and yet again had a lovely stay. Easy access from the A1, yet no noise from it. RAF leeming is close by and the planes go over infrequently but it is fun when they do. Visited the Himalayan gardens and Thorp perrow gardens, both of which were enjoyable. Had a trip on the Wensleydale railway which coincided with market day at Leyburn. We will be back if we are visiting family or heading north.

Bank Holiday treat
Booked this site at short notice after the owner posted on the Facebook CL availability site saying she'd had 2 cancellations for the August Bank Holiday. After going on a slight detour of my own making I located the site. Make sure you read the book or the instructions on web page don't trust sat nav for final instructions. Was welcomed by the owner who gave me a detailed info sheet and a very handy parking permit for free parking in Bedale. You can park which ever way you like but some of the pitches may be sloped but there are chocks available. I stayed up the top so it was fairly level. Great that each pitch has its own electric and water supply. Nice touch on site was the bottles of cider and eggs to buy also the book exchange. The pitches are surrounded by Sheep and a pony on the other side of the fence but our dogs weren't too bothered about them. Nice walk for the dogs round the Orchard or along the long road in to the site. Ideal location for Bedale or North Allerton. Bedale has loads of shops, pubs, cafes and takeaways for you to choose from and only 10min drive away. Great site will hopefully visit again.
Spacious & Quiet
Just spent 4 nights on this site just before Bramham horse trials. A warm welcome from owners with an information sheet and parking disc for nearby Bedale town centre. It is a large and roomy site with water and electric to each pitch. There are two dog walks from site one down the very long drive (great for last walk before bed) and the other around the large orchard which supplies masham brewery with its apples for their Cider which is also supplied on site along with fresh eggs. It is central to Bedale,Thirsk, (James Herriot Museum), Ripon. While drinking a cider in the sunshine the RAF guys from nearby Leeming gave us a fantastic display of low flying. We will defiantly stay again.
Spacious
Just stayed on this site for 4 nights just before Bamham horse trials. A fantastic site with loads of room, water and electric to each pitch. 2 good dog walks from site 1 down the exceptionally long drive great for last walk at night and 1 around a large orchard. The orchard provides apples to Masham brewery for there cider which is also provided on site (very nice) along with fresh eggs. It is very central to Bedale,Thirsk (James Herriot museum ) North Allerton, Ripon. The RAF guys from nearby Leeming gave us a brilliant display of low flying. A very warm welcome by the owners with a information sheet and a parking disc for Bedale town centre. Will defiantly stay here again.
Very happy camper.
We stayed for 10 nights in Sep 2021 and we were made to feel very welcome. An array of farm animals to chat to when emptying the waste ( Gloucester Old Spot piglets were amazing !) and wonderful views. There is a terrific view of the A1M at the bottom of the valley, but not intrusive noise levels.
We were entertained several days by the boys from the RAF with their Tornados ( I think? ) and training flight planes and helicopters but only in daylight hours. Very entertaining, I must say. Very handy for the villages and towns of North Yorkshire. Ripon Cathedral is a must visit and Fountains Abbey.
It is a fair old drag for us from Cheshire but if we return to this area, Orchard View will be our first point of call to stay at.
Also, very handy for those of us who are heading North or South and wish to spend a few days in the area.
Sorry for the late review. I'm afraid I thought I had already done one. Better late than never, they say.

One night stop in September on our way to Scotland. Very easy access to and from the A1. Some slight road noise from the A1, but not enough to cause any problems. Warm welocme from the owner. Attractive site.
