Peacefull, quiet, clean, friendly

easy to find location, well signed, the bridge at Bolton Priory concentrates the mind - know your caravan width, and how to position it. very friendly helpful wardens, tranquil, quiet, woods for the grandchildren to explore. nearby tearoom and lots of walks through the woods, down to the river.

Excellent site for walkers

Have just read the latest review and can't believe we were on the same site. Spent 8 nights towards the end of September and thoroughly enjoyed the site. The walks through the estate and to Bolton Abbey are totally stunning and the bonus was I was able to use my walker so disabled friendly. As for the site, apart from no DTV or Mobile Signal (not down to the club) we can't fault the site nor the wardens. Yes there is heavy tree cover but the wardens were only too happy to let us move onto a sunnier pitch when we found our original one too cold. The ablutions are clean, warm and perfectly adequate for the size of the site. Had no problems with children and dogs on the loose. The site shop sells duck food and it's wonderful to be surrounded by the ducks every morning and evening, I felt like the Duck Whisperer!! :-) The site has a public telephone which we used and the lack of tv meant we spent more time chatting and out and about, bonus. The laundry prices are a little expensive now but that's the same across the network (cclub maybe you could revise these charges??) The free drying room is fab for those wet shoes and raincoats when you get caught out in the forest in a rainstorm. The wardens were friendly and helpful. They were very understanding when my sister had to leave early due to my father not being well (my parents were staying in her van). We will definitely stay here again especially as Skipton is minutes down the road where the best Fish & Chips can be found oh and lets not forget the best Pork Pies too. There is a narrow arch to negotiate but if you take it slow, no problem to get through. Lets face it that's not down to the Club either. Bolton Abbey is a must see and the best place to stay is the Club site.

Most of the site is under deep shade all day from mature trees. The bottom end of the site was like a sink housing estate with children and dogs running wild. Caravans on the upper site were surrounded by detritus and would be at home on a traveller's site. The toilet block is dated and wholly inadequate with just 4 small shower cubicles in the men's facility but rows of cubicles with wash basins. It dates back to when British men bathed once a week! The warden is the most dour I have encountered which probably explains the state of the site.

great site

Just come back from our second visit to this site, the weather was glorious,  the site is second to none and the location is wonderful. Great walks, although dogs do have to be on a lead, which I have no problem with, but not many other dog walkers take any notice! But hey ho another fabulous break in Yorkshire.

First Time Visit

This was our first visit to the site but it will not be our last........ what a wonderful site which is well maintained and clean a great credit to the wardens. The site is ideal for walking with a variety of levels from easy to more difficult. A nice gently walk to Bolton Abbey that if you take make sure you visit the "Tea on the Green" tea room great food with a courtyard area which allows dogs. I am sure that we will be returning again many times.

A Dream location

What can you say other than we now know why you have to be an early bird to get on this site. The site itself is spotless and a credit to the Warden, the toilets are spotless too, long gone are the days of checking them out.  The location is tranquil and peaceful. Perhaps not a lot for teenagers unless they are akin to walking, which most are not.  We stayed in Sept after schools returned hence no kids about.  Will definitely be booking again soon.

Return visit

As the title says this is our 3rd visit to this site but its been some years since our last visit. The site is just as its always been, wardens really nice & friendly, spotlessly clean facilities. The one drawback is television, analogue tv went off years ago, nobody has analogue tv any more, come on caravan club get this sorted.

First Visit

Enjoyed six nights here. Brilliant walks direct from the site, very clean facilities and pitches nicely spaced. Wardens are friendly and very helpful. We managed to get a Satellite signal but otherwise its only analogue. However the wifi signal is good and worked all the time we were there. No mobile signal on site but good signal a couple of miles down the road and reasonable 3G coverage. No play area on site but the woods are close.

Nice site

This is one of the better site's we've stopped, nice walks, plenty of wildlife, the site is very clean and tidy, and really quite. We had a problem with the TV as ours will only get a digital signal, fortunately we are only an hour away from home so I popped back for one that would work. handy for us for a weekend away, will be using it again.
