A great CL. Beautiful views, great local attractions and plenty of pubs, cafes and farm shops close by. Jack, Mel and the sheep made us feel very welcome. Ingleton is well worth the visit. The waterfalls and caves make for great days out. The scenery is impressive, the site is very well maintained and its a very peaceful spot. The access road is fairly narrow but our 10m RV made it along the half mile or so from the main road easily enough. We will be back and would definitely recommend. ***** 5 stars all round *****
Stunnng Scenery from a lovely site
Just returned from a 3 night stay at this CL. The views from the pitches are stunning over the Yorkshire Dales and Ingleborough. The site is immaculate and peaceful with the normal comings and goings of a small working farm. Jack the owner wasn’t about when we arrived so just pitched up on the fully serviced pitches. When we met Jack a lovely lad knowledgeable about the area. Some walks in the area but great access to Yorkshire dales, lakes and coast. A site in our revisit book.
One to remember
We stayed on this lovely little site for a week in early September.
Jack,the young farmer that owns the site was very friendly and helpful throughout the booking process and on our arrival at the site.
We were looking for a site to visit roughly half way between Ripon and Carlisle to meet up with family and I put out a request on the Facebook CL availability site and received a prompt reply from Jack otherwise I may not have found this little gem!
The pitches are very spacious with hard standing and a grassy area at each pitch. Also fully serviced which is a real bonus. The grass was cut and collected and the CDP area was kept clean and tidy with recycling bins available.
The view over to Ingelborough was stunning and watching the sheep in the fields was lovely.
There are lots of places to visit including Kirby Lonsdale,Ingelton,Hawes,Skipton and Grassington.
We will definitely visit the site again. Thanks again for a great stay Jack 👍😄

early spring visit
we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Jacks's site earlier in the year, we had it to ourselves for the 4 night stay, but l am sure when this site gets well known it will be hard to find a free pitch as it will be fully booked. The scenery is beautiful and is ideally situated to explore the southern dales.
we wish Jack all the best in his new venture which l am sure will go from strength to strength.
we hope to visit later in the year

Excellent Site!
We have just returned from a 10 day site on Jack's CL. He was most welcoming and helpful. Couldn't fault the site: grass kept short, clean and tidy, flat hard-standing pitches with EH and water and the bonus of an uninterrupted view of Ingleborough (one of the three Peaks). We enjoyed watching the sheep and cows frolicking from the caravan and even saw a hare running across the field one evening. The day after we arrived they were shearing the sheep in the sheds so there was some baaing!! As it is a working farm it will have some associated noise, but nothing that detrimentally impacts on the overall peace. We were also privileged to have an absolutely fantastic sunset one day. The site is perfect for exploring the Dales, the Lakes and Lancashire. We managed plenty of walks near and further afield. The Highwayman in Burrow is a good place for a meal. Kirkby Lonsdale has a supermarket (Booths, northern version of Waitrose) and there are plenty of independent shops to have a mooch around. Thank you Jack; we hope to be back again in the future.

Great CL
Stayed for two nights in our campervan. A really clean and tidy CL with great facilities, flat hardstanding pitches with grassy spacious areas. Its a working farm but the location is really peaceful and the scenery is something else. Nearest pub is The Marton Arms, 25 min walk away which does great food and real ales.The Punch Bowl is in Burton in Lonsdale and is a similar walk away. This is a good location to explore the area from and we will be returning. Jack and his family , who we met and were great, have obviously worked hard to get this CL up and running. I echo all of the postive comments made by others.Well done.
Great first trip out with our new caravan (used but new to us).
For us, a visit to Jack’s lovely new site was a great reintroduction to caravanning after a thirty year pause.
This is a cracking find with beautiful views (once the early morning mist lifts off Inglebrough peak). The facilities are great with each pitch having water, waste and electric hook up within a few feet, the sanitary waste disposal point is conveniently situated near the entrance.
Jack is a lovely young farmer working his flock of sheep, running the farm and sometimes working away with neighbours as well as looking after the site, everything is very laid back but don’t be too surprised if there is no one around for any kind of check in.
If I had any kind of negative comments, in the happenstance of no one being around it would be useful to have a small sign on the gate confirming that you have indeed arrived at the right location.
The turn in is pretty tight with a longer van so a bit of care is needed on entry & exit.
Overall a great location for exploring the Western Dales, we will definitely be returning..
Excellent CL
Just returned from a 4 night stay at this wonderful CL. Fully serviced pitches with amazing views all around, what’s not to love. Plenty of lovely walks & 2 very nice pubs within an easy 30 minute walk of the site. The Marton Arms is well worth a visit if heading to Ingleton & the lovely Pen’s Pantry a must for delicious cakes & pastries.
Fantastic CL
Definitely recommend this site. Amazing views fab location and the owner Jack is friendly and helpful. He even allowed our 2 sons to visit the newly born lambs and help bottle feed them. Definitely the highlight of the holiday for our boys. Site is in a fab location with lots to do nearby and you have a stunning view of Ingleborough from your pitch . Would highly recommend and would definitely gp back.
Amazing site
The previous reviewer has said everything we were going to say. Wonderful host, outstanding views and excellent location.
We were staying for 10 days and ended up staying for 3 weeks.
Many great walks nearby, and cycling and mountain bike routes from the site. Some good farm shops nearby for essentials including Country Harvest which is walking distance.
Don't try and close the gates on your own when it's windy, it almost impossible but it will give onlookers a good laugh watching.
