A delightful site nestled in a valley on the banks of the river Holme with lots of wildlife. Toilets and showers were spotless, the washing up sinks had plentiful hot water and there was a laundry room and shop too. There is food on site at weekends from May to September and this was reasonably priced and delicious, with a varied choice. There are delightful riverside walks from the site and a bus stop near the entrance makes it easy to go further afield. Definitely worth a visit!...Read less.

A well cared for site in a great location, close to Holmfirth. The facilities are excellent - the toilet block is a very high standard and well maintained; well stocked shop; small food outlet selling drinks, snacks and hot food. I was very impressed, thank you 😊...Read less.

The quality of the facilities were over and beyond my expectations. The park was very chilled and on site food cabin was fresh and tasty.

The track into the park was very uncomfortable and there were lots of holes. Also due to traffic stopping out side of the reception to check in it was difficult to enter the park. I would recommend a bigger area to park while checking in.

Overall it was a superb stay and we would definitely recommend!...Read less.

Great site. Kids made lots of friends and were able to ride their bikes so they were happy and so were we. We were very impressed with the appearance and cleanliness of the toilet and shower block. Every time we used them they were either being cleaned or had just been cleaned so that reassured us that the facilities were being looked after even on a busy bank holiday weekend. The on site shop was really handy and reasonably priced. Information point in shop really useful and the two suggested walks (Riverside and to the cider farm cafe) were perfect traffic free walks with the kids. Will definitely return some day soon!...Read less.

Having packed up the car for the weekend with all of the gear and drove to Holmsfirth from Derbyshire we arrived around 2.30pm to find a teeming campsite with absolutely no space left for us to pitch up. We had already paid online reading all about the lovely small and quiet campsite - we could not believe our eyes! We were directed by the reception staff (who were lovely and this review is in no way a reflection of the staff, who were polite , friendly and welcoming) and when we drove into the field it was literally tent to tent, massively over-crowded, not a chance we could have squeezed our tent in let alone park in there too. Kids were running around everywhere, dogs off leads, absolutely no organisation with parking and pitching whatsoever - a complete free for all. I’m not sure if this was because of the loose layout, or that others hadn’t been mindful, or just simple over booking but something needs to change at this site if it is popular. We miserably drove all the way back home and gave it up as a bad job. I’m just so glad we didn’t have kids because they would have been utterly disappointed. If you are going to advertise a small quiet campsite, you must deliver on this. If we wanted Glastonbury we would have booked Glastonbury. Sorry, we won’t be back to try again....Read less.

We arrived in the evening for one night’s stay before having to return our hired motorhome nearby the next day. There was no one around to check us in but after a quick phone call the lovely Ben was with us within minutes and gave us a warm welcome. We were accommodated at the side of the lake on a hard standing pitch near the shop. There was a nice view in the morning, although our neighbours were a little loud in the evening. The next day we were allowed to move our van to a sunnier and quieter pitch in one of the fields, and spend an extra few hours relaxing in the sunshine at no extra charge.

The older toilet and shower facilities are very tired but I believe the new block is much nicer. If we came back we would book a pitch on the field next to the new facilities.

The staff here are very friendly and accommodating and there is a relaxed family feel to the site. There were quite a lot of children running and cycling about with little supervision, but I guess that’s what the freedom of camping is all about. All in all, an attractive site with fabulous staff and great value for money....Read less.

We had a fantastic time @HolmeValley.

Really friendly staff from booking through to leaving, nice size pitches, noise was controlled well, great stream for kids to play in and also play area. Gorgeous food from the Kampers Kitchen. Toilet and shower block new and clean. Very open site due to stream and woodland but fantastic for older kids

Will definitely be back....Read less.

The site was selected purely on it's close proximity to holmfirth as we'd got tickets for a gig there. As it was bank holiday weekend all electric pitches were gone so took the non electric. On arrival we were told to just park our motorhome anywhere in the middle of the bottom field which we did but on our return from a walk later in the day, other campervans had parked within a few feet of us. I'm sure there's a minimum acceptable distance, it certainly felt quite intrusive especially when wanting to sit outside. The toilet and shower block were clean but not enough cubicles when site is full. I had to queue for 20 minutes to get in the shower and then there was only a trickle of water so took ages to rinse off the shampoo. The shop was well stocked with a good selection of produce and at very reasonable prices. Staff extremely pleasant and helpful. I would return but perhaps during quieter periods....Read less.

We stayed over the recent bank holiday weekend. The site was busy but lots of space for everyone. The site is really well set out and the facilities are great, especially the shower block and family bathrooms. The on-site catering was really good and offered a good range of food throughout the day. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The addition of the camping pods add another dimension and something we would definitely investigate for our next visit. Great site, great staff can’t wait to go back....Read less.

My husband and I had a fab weekend here. There are some great walks to local villages most of which have pubs and coffee shops.

My only complaint was the amount of cut grass, I think it must have been the first cut, but would have been better if it had been collected up as it got everywhere....Read less.

We travelled with our nearly 3 year old and were shocked at how few parents seemed to be looking after their own children. We had to rescue children who had got stuck on the climbing frames and sort out disputes over whose turn it was on the swing. At night children were running all over the place, with parents sat at their tents drinking and blaring loud and explicit rap music. Worryingly, we were supposedly in the more quiet bottom field, and it was still noisy late at night with little consideration for others. The campsite itself was perfectly adequate - a little overlooked by the town, but very well cleaned and with plenty to do nearby. It's just a shame the other customers spoiled it for us....Read less.

Had a great couple of days at Holme valley. A beautiful site with great facilities. I ended up with a flat battery on day of departure and helpful staff were there in no time to help get us on our way. Great place and excellent value....Read less.

Real nice park definitely go again just need to sort the pricing out !

Shows prices for season up to £16 a night for car caravan and electric but on arrival it's £20 per night not sure why this is ? Not clear on the web site ?...Read less.

Lovely site, we stayed on the field with the rivier at the back! Boys loved to play near ( in!) it! Feels rural but actually not far from some shops ( fish&chips) Holmfirth, and plenty local public footpaths for a walk!

Staff very friendly

Facilities very clean but would’ve liked some extra taps on side of showers, away from the toilets!

Lots to do! We went on the train to huddersfield . Also drove up to the moors for a walk as well as had a wander in Holmfirth. Lovely walks from the campsite into the woods and local pubs nice for a drink or food (travellers rest)

...Read less.

We stayed at this lovely site last weekend. We had hardstanding pitch 1 &2. Our friends were in the willow camping pods.

The staff in reception are very pleasant and helpful.

The facilities where we were pitched are looking very tired now. Kept clean n warm but ready for a refurb.

The other facility block was well worth the walk round the mill pond for a shower.

We noticed a field full of what looked like rubbish on the way up and down the track onto site. This could be off putting for new visitors.

We will return next year, location is great....Read less.

We recently stayed here and loved it. Easy to find and access. Staff were helpful and friendly. We had a lovely pitch with ehu by the river. The site was busy but didn't feel cramped. The noise restrictions were observed so it was very peaceful. Will definitely return...Read less.

Had a fantastic weekend on this site, great pitch with a running stream behind us, will definitely return to this site. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The road down to the site was a little bumpy no could do with a tarmac surface but apart from that everything was great and will return again soon....Read less.

We enjoyed our three-night stay at Holme Valley Camping and Caravanning Park. We were situated around a lovely pond with all kinds of wildlife entertaining us. It was really peaceful despite some road noise (particularly during the rush hour) but we tuned it out through the day and it wasn't particularly noticeable. The owls at night made more noise but that's not a complaint as it's always good to be amongst nature.

There was a nice walk through some woods to Holmfirth village and a short river walk in the other direction to Brockholes and the two local pubs (we didn't try either so can't comment).

The staff on the park were really friendly and helpful, none of them passed without saying hello.

The speed limit of 5mph needs to be enforced more though (although I don't know how) as people enter via a dusty road often too quickly and send dust flying onto the first parked vans.

But don't let that put you off, this is a lovely park....Read less.

Had 2 nights break to visit holmfirth. On a bus route. Tried to walk to town by the directions given. Too far and steep.

Park gardens, fire buckets, tired and need attendance.

Old shower block very tired but clean. New shower block fantastic.

Well stocked licensed shop.

Peaceful around the lake. Lots of live in campers and seasoned.

Would use again.

Camp kitchen not open at time we visited....Read less.

Was the best glamping pod we have ever been in & plenty of space for 5 people. Very friendly staff, well stocked shop on site. Our 5 year old loved the easter trail & the play park. There's a lovely walk into the village about a 10min walk. Would definitely go back there again....Read less.

We've camped here before and we love it! We decided to try one of the new 'swish' glamping pods this time as the weather has been awful. The pods are lovely, sleep up to 5 and they are warm and dry. The quality of the fixtures and fittings is high and the beds are really comfy! The cooking facilities are great with 2 electric rings and a small microwave. This site is smashing. There is a river nearby which is great for paddling and wildlife spotting. The family showers are excellent with loads of space to keep your clothes dry and loads of hot water. We had a smashing time....Read less.

We stayed in the new clamping cabins, we was very happy with the cabins an even tho the weathers wasn’t great an was cold we wasn’t at all cold on a night.

The staff was very friendly an we will definitely be staying again....Read less.

We planned to stay for the Easter weekend break but due to the weather we only stayed for two nights. Upon arrival the campsite entrance was easily accessible from the main road but the road leading down to the campsite was very poorly maintained. Booking in was simple and staff were happy, friendly and knowledgeable, all in all a very efficient experience after a long drive. We stayed in the bottom field which was quite wet but pitches were ample. However due to the awful weather this field became more and more soggy with ducks being able to swim in the middle, needless to say it was quite a mud bath. The toilet and shower facilities were fantastic, very modern and clean and was good to know that only campsite members could use them by having a code. The facility which really stood out for us was Kampers Kitchen, wow, the food was outstanding and each time we ordered food we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Being a vegetarian it was a refreshing change to be able to order some tasty dishes. We even ordered a breakfast one morning and they came and delivered it to our tent! Five stars for this and I would definitely come back and visit Holme Valley campsite if Kampers Kitchen was open and serving their yummy meals. Overall, Holme Valley is a friendly, quiet campsite, located in a lovely spot and is family and dog friendly too - we hope to revisit but will probably wait until the summer is here....Read less.

We love your site and will definitely be back but you must get the electricity sorted out! Constant power outages meant we left early - admittedly it was a very cold Easter weekend - but lack of electricity was the reason we didn't stay.

The Campers Kitchen was great and the staff and food excellent.

Regards

Pete and Lou...Read less.

Caution when turning off main road as there is a bottle bank which may be in use, perhaps relocate to exit side. Road down to site is uneven and full of potholes so drive with care. A very nice location around a pleasant pond surrounded by trees. Staff were very helpful with information and advice and had a well stocked shop, . Pitches hard standing and grass field nearby and are adequate with plenty room. Two toilet blocks, one of which is new near the camping field (not in use at time) which I imagine would be busy when site is full, the other a bit tired but both kept clean. Great walks to nearby towns and villages, bus route at top of the hill. Buy a family day bus ticket so much cheaper! All in all a nice place to stay for the weekend and will visit again for sure. My first impression and just an observation the permanent vans sited could improve the good name of the site by clearing the clutter from around their vans and cleaning them. Clearly long term residents, but did not impact on my visit. I would certainly recommend a visit and in particular during beer festival time and a 'Last of the Summer Wine' tour....Read less.

2nd trip to this gem of a site and it was just as great in the snow.

Well stocked, resonably priced shop.

Well stocked fishing pond (although didn't fish this time due to the snow).

Lovely shallow river and great for walks in the area.

Lots of local information provided by the site.

Site went out of their way to help us and others in the snow.

Little play park.

Only 2 downsides:

A large portion of the site is seasonal tourers which look a bit scruffy, whilst it didn't really bother us I feel it does let the look of the site down

Although the site is down a lengthy access road so it is hidden away, there weren't any barriers etc so it does make me wander what the security is like.

Overall it is a great site and we can't wait to return....Read less.

If the park was tidied up seasonal pitch area mainly and the drive was repaired (potholes) is probably come back. I can’t rate everything as it is early in the year and things just aren’t set up this time of year. Toilet block old but warm and clean, staff very nice. Could be beautiful with TLC and cooperation from seasonal members making effort with their van and awnings . Brings place down...Read less.

Stayed there in my motorhome, to watch the Swans earn a gritty point! Staff extremely helpful and friendly (sorted out my bus itinerary to/from Huddersfield). A very tranquil (apart from the game), peaceful, quiet, beautiful place. Providing the Swans and Huddersfield both stay up (or both go down, gulp), I'll be back next year! Thank you so much to all at HVC....Read less.

Love this place, the river, the pond, the ducks the trees. The relaxed atmosphere. We come many times a year mainly when there is something on at the Holmfirth Picturedrome. We will make a weekend of it. (less than 10 miles from home)....Read less.

booked a hard standing pitch, bounced of that to a grass pitch dog poo bag hanging in tree dog sick on pitch lady in shop a bit distant sort of no help, went into the showers, saw all the other campers who have been there for years green awnings toyota land cruisers enough we legit home possible damage to new van going down there drive but on the good side they told us of the road closed to holmfirgh...Read less.

Yet another fantastic weekend away at Holme Valley. This is our third visit and hopefully not our last!

We arrived on the Thursday afternoon and was allocated a pitch on the hardstanding (which most are now), ideal location as we were right next to the river, once all set up it was straight into Holmfirth for the obligatory Fish and Chips! Friday a relaxing day with a quite walk along the river to the local public house and a swift half (or maybe two) Saturday we had the morning in Holmfirth then the afternoon at the great Carding Shed at Hepworth, well worth a visit, then unfortunately on Sunday we had to pack up and leave, but hopefully not for too long! Can't wait for our next visit......Read less.

We found the camp site perfect for staying in a motorhome in the winter. The hard standing was vital in case of bad weather and having a hook up ensured we were nice and cosy!

We didn’t have time to explore the area around Holmfirth this time, we will be back!...Read less.

My partner and I only stayed 1 night but booked to return the following week with the children as we had such a pleasant stay and knew the kids would love it (4 yr and 2yr old). Would recommend to anyone who was looking for some where peaceful and in the words of our 4 year old "calm and relaxing"...Read less.

Once down the narrow bumpy track you will find a nice and peacefull camp site with pitchs around a small lake.

A small play park for the little ones and fishing for the big ones.

The small shop has most things you my need and the shower/toilet wrer kept very cleen.

All in all a nice place to vist....Read less.

We have stayed at this campsite many times in the past few years and have been very satisfied. Upon arrival on our latest visit we were told to park between the markers as there needs to be enough space between units for safety (we have always been told this). We parked up and went out. On our return later we found that that we had 2 caravans parked either side. One had a van which parked between the caravan and our motorhome. The other had parked their caravan next to our motorhome (at an angle) and the car was still hooked up to it and was VERY close to the front of our motorhome. We have photographs to confirm this. Firstly, the view from each side of our motorhome was of a VAN and a CAR. Secondly, as was pointed out to us when parking up that surely this could be a fire safety issue. We have always enjoyed staying here and the lovely surrounding area but this time we were really put off by inconsiderate campers....Read less.

Very friendly welcome, useful site map of facilities and came to check everything was OK. Lovely location, pitch right by the river. Good clean facilities. Only a short walk into Holmfirth (Last of the Summer Wine) with a selection of pubs and eateries. Local ducks came by each morning to say hello and we spent ages watching the local heron from the caravan window. All in all a lovely quiet place....Read less.

Lovely little site in the middle of woods, some of the pitches looked a bit tight, but we had a lovely one next to the pond. It was well lit at night even bigger sites don't have lighting. The road into the site is narrow but it does have passing points.

Short walk to the pub and about 15 mins to the next one which serves great food. You do need a torch as there is no lighting on the walk...Read less.

Access road is a 'rocky road to XDublinX Holme'. Limited space for 'parking for arrivals'. Schematic map outside reception would help to find shop etc. T.V. reception very poor.

Good clean facilities are well maintained. Site served required purpose....Read less.

We arrived slightly late and in the dark, the drive down the narrow country lane is a little scary with a 28 foot caravan but once on the site the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They always greeted you with a friendly warm smile and nothing was too much trouble. They even took the time to show me the pitch and where exactly to park up. The site site is set in the woods 1 mile outside Holmefirth with a large duck pond in the center. There is a river and really nice walks in the woods next to the site, there is also a friendly traditional pub just minutes walk away. The new shower blocks are really nice and well maintained. The shower cubicles have a dividing wall that separates the washing area from the drying area so you don't get your clothes wet (I wish they all had this especially with children). They don't charge for dogs! I definitely recommend this site and my wife and I will be going again next season....Read less.

The site is very well located and an ideal spot to meet up with family and friends. There are some lovely walks both from the site and within a short driving distance. The site itself wasn't too busy when we arrived which was nice for us as we tend to prefer small sites. We chose this site because it was a good location to meet up with family and because of some good walks nearby. There seemed to be some confusion about electric points for each pitch. Someone else was plugged into the point for our pitch but that was quickly resolved by a friendly member of staff. The new toilet block was very nice but the old block needs updating. I think that if the site was full the two toilet blocks would not be adequate. We would consider returning to the site but not during school holidays. The staff were very friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make sure we were happy and that means a lot..

...Read less.

We returned to Holme Valley in half term after a wonderful time here in May. We feel so blessed to have such a beautiful site not too far from where we live. This time we had a Pondside pitch which was a great place to enjoy the wildlife from. The ducks were so friendly and visited us on several occasions. The staff were friendly and couldn't have done more, especially when one of our hitches fell apart! They made sure we were safe to tow. The site is so well placed for other activities and for trips out. Everything was very clean and the shop accessible and well stocked. We'll be back!!...Read less.

We regularly use this site as we have family nearby.

For us the main attraction is the site location and surrounding area , it is beautiful.

The site is very open planned so if you want privacy this is not for you.

Otherwise the staff are great and we love it....Read less.

The park is just off a main road and as others have said the access road is narrow and rather bumpy. Once on site the facilities are all easily located and close to pitches. There is a pond with ducks and the river passes alongside the park. Despite heavy rain the ground did not become waterlogged. Being in a valley and surrounded by trees there is protection from the wind. It is reassuring that the shower blocks are code protected. Despite using the postcode given my satnav took me on the wrong road - not something you wish to happen in this area; you have been warned!...Read less.

I camped there for a couple of nights with my friends. We are all 18 and had spoken to the staff before making the booking because some sites do not allow even small groups of 18 year olds. However, the staff were very accommodating, so it was not a problem.

The location of the site is beautiful, and it is only a short walk to the nearby village, which has pubs, takeaways and restaurants....Read less.

Very convenient location for going into Holmfirth. Handy printed walks leaflets available. Staff very helpful when we had a small problem with the caravan. Shop open a lot later than expected. On a dissapointing note, the male toilets in the block near the shop were dirty and not well looked after. In my husbands opinion this was perhaps due to the number of long term pitches used by workers who then go home at weekends. Just a theory! There was another, much newer block that was cared for much more....Read less.

Have wanted to stay on this park in the past but well it just didn't happen to now.!!!!!!

Maiden trip out in our Motor Home as we dropped down the drive onto the park my partner and I both agreed together what a lovely site. Upon checking in at the office we were then escorted to our pitch by the lovely lady

she took us to in our opinion the best pitch on the site right by the pond BIG SMILES all round only stayed one night but wish we have booked for a week Home Valley is definitely worth a visit people WE WILL BE BACK !!!!!!...Read less.

Very nice site with friendly staff, always clean, great washroom facilities and on site shop and reasonably priced. Lovely walks from your Caravan door step alongside the river and 2 mins in car to centre of Holmfirth. The only criticism I can think of is if you happen to be hitched up and meet a Caravan coming the other way on the very narrow drive I wouldn’t be capable of negotiating my way out of the situation. Thankfully I didn’t see this occur whilst we were there....Read less.

There was 3 male adults in our early 30s just fancied 1 night away campimg and we came here and it was cracking. Staff very friendly and accommodating. This place is a hidden gem. Its very much a family campsite.looking forward to camping with my girlfriend here....Read less.

To be fair, we arrived late on in the day and only stayed for one night.

The road into the site is in a dreadful state and really needs sorting out. There are potholes all the way along the road and it is almost impossible to avoid them.

Before we booked, we kept seeing all about their luxury award winning shower block all over their website. The toilet block nearest to us was desparately in need of updating. It is clean but it is very dated. The toilet bowls are stained (age rather than lack of cleaning).

Our pitch was a decent size and reasonably level.

There are a lot of seasonal pitches which made it feel that we were outsiders.

We were disappointed with the site overall and probably will not stay there again which is such a shame as the price is very reasonable and it is in a great location for visiting our Yorkshire friends....Read less.

We found the pitches a bit tight. Very good for dog owners as plenty of walking from the site along the river, in the woods or to the village. The access road was appalling, particularly when we were leaving Saturday morning as they also host children's parties. We were trying to tow the caravan up the lane meeting parents bringing children the other way. Some of these drivers, being non campers, seemed to have no comprehension of how much room a car and caravan requires....Read less.

Had a fantastic stay here came for the food and wine festival , was asked to keep the noise down a couple of times but to be fair it was after 930 pm which is in the rule book , will definitely e going back , shame the food cabin was closed for the winter but the shop had everything you neeeded , lovely people who run the place...Read less.

We have visited this site twice, as it is near to family & is in a pleasant location.

Staff are friendly and very helpful - we wanted to move to the pond area from where we had been booked in, and the lovely lady was very happy to help.

The shop is well-stocked with basics, the amenities are clean and perfectly satisfactory, and the location is convenient for Holmfirth.

Dogs are welcome- in fact, everyone seemed to have a dog! - and we found a good walk just out of the campsite.

We would recommend the site, and will visit again. The only criticism we have is that the lane leading to the site is very uneven and rough, so be careful!

...Read less.

We came to the camp site for a trip to the Elscar heritage site, where i drove a steam locomotive. The site all in was a lovely place, and we really enjoyed our stay. Our only gripe was traveling around the site was a little difficult. The lane to the site is wide enough, however the surface was quite poorly maintained, and as such it was very uncomfortable to get on and off the site, with a fair few quite deep potholes.

The location of the site was however absolutely beautiful, and i would recommend the site and facilities for a stay of any length....Read less.

Fishing pond great, full of decent roach that feed just below the surface. one short session had them out to a pound.

Local pub The Rock also great fun in the pool room. My 13 yr old son and I had a whale of a time (although he was unsurprisingly a bit scared) having the backs of our legs and necks squeezed and stroked by an unseen "thing".

We asked the landlord and he quite matter of factly told us about the resident ghost "Rose" who is regularly seen in the poolroom, hall, kitchen and outside the front of the pub, wearing red! Great fun

...Read less.

Generally nice site but disappointed with the showers it was nearly impossible to have a shower as you have to press the button every 4 seconds and the spray is so wide it hits everything but you! Shame as the block had been put in nicely....Read less.

Plus points -

Staff very helpful ( no problem in letting me move pitch as van was to low for original )

Lakeside pitch excellent

Very picturesque

Clean site

Easy access to Public transport

Showers and toilets better than most .

Play faculties available for children although we did use .

Negatives -

Lane to site a little bumpy

Men's Toilets on one of the mornings were not the best ( use you imagination ) although very quickly cleaned when staff member told .of issue . MAYBE PUT A NOTICE IN TOILETS EXPLAINING HOW TO USE - some people obviously don't know !!! Lol

First time at this site and won't be the last great stay would and will recommend .

VDUB friendly .

Staff are extremely helpful and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Lovely park, can be a little difficult to find and the road down to the park is very narrow and bumpy. Well stocked shop aswell. Great location, half hr walk to holmfirth....Read less.

What a fantastic weekend! It's a brilliant place for children- they were constantly exploring! Freda's catering hut always brings us back here! She makes the most delicious food- everything cooked from scratch so if you're not in the mood for cooking....perfect! Showers etc are super- very modern and spotless! Thank you to all the staff too who are extremely welcoming and accommodating. Definitely booking for next year!...Read less.

We stayed in a tent while friends stay in caravan. Staff were great at finding is a location very close to each other as we had small children. Very clean facilities. Lovely place. We will be returning.

Thank You from the Harrap family. X...Read less.

We only stayed 1night,we had a fantastic hard pitch for our moho ,plenty of fresh water facilities, our view over the pond priceless. The staff all very friendly, a lovely well stocked shop on site,fab toilets and showers,kept very clean. Cannot fault this site and definitely going again,for a longer stay. If I have one fault its the very narrow and Rocky road leading to the site.but we mastered it....Read less.

Great campsite in a lovely location. Easy access into Holmfirth centre and also Huddersfield centre. Bus stop right outside the entrance with buses running regular and late into the evening. Very friendly and helpful staff. On site shop that sells reasonably priced goods. Nice walks along the river. Easy walking into Holmfirth centre....Read less.

Stayed on ultra quiet area of site. Unfortunately there was a housing estate right next to this area, noise

Car doors slamming , music. Did not feel safe at all in my tent as the houses are virtually only separated by bushes from the campsite. Was booked for two nights only stayed one. Other areas of the campsite looked ok....Read less.

Visited this site recently for the first time. Lengthy single track road to the site was very well worn with lots of potholes. One or two small passing places, which didn't really suffice when the earliest arrival and latest departure time was 12 noon. This could be a nightmare if 2 caravans were to meet, as full length of road not visible. Far better to have an hour's grace between the two times. Reception staff very helpful and observed the 6 metre rule between caravan/motor home units but this didn't seem to apply on 2 of the tent camping areas, which appeared overcrowded. Unfortunately one of the 2 washrooms had no hot water and was awaiting repair. This meant 3 showers each side for a huge area of campers plus private bathrooms at an extra cost. Floor mops in the washrooms looked old. Some pitches near the river or a large pond, where the ducks were very vocal, especially in the early hours! Useful Campers' Kitchen cafe open at certain times. Campsite situation was, however, pleasant with lots of woodland walks....Read less.

We enjoyed our stay at the park it was very central to where we wanted to vist and the surrounding area was very nice. The park could be improved by removing the permanent caravans that must be there all year this makes half the site look scruffy and busy with people going to and from work from their caravan homes. The staff were helpful and nice the old toliet block was scruffy and we didn't use it and the boiler wasn't working so there was no hot water to pot wash from that side of the site. We enjoyed the fishing and the pitch was next to the pond so that was fab the children loved the play area and the kampers kitchen was busy but lovely. The drive down to the site isn't good. The price per night is a bit pricey for an electric only pitch. We may come again because of the area and the fishing on site....Read less.

Very clean site

Very particular about toilets facilities- these are very good.

Playground in same area as camping which is great, but there is only 1swing and so a lot of squabbling between children goes on.

Freda makes food from her kitchen and this is amazing. She not only cooks fantastic curry and delivers to your tent but is also firm with children that don't respect the playground area and other children in it.

The campsite is next to a river which is lovely

The duck race is fun for all the family.

The 'have-a-go' archery is worth every penny. £5 per child. Great instructor, very firm with instructions but makes the time extremely enjoyable.

Brilliant place. Recommending to friends...Read less.

Was very impressed with how clean and tidy the site was including all the recycling bins.

We all enjoyed walking in the woods and children played in the streAm lots of fun! Will be returning next year !...Read less.

We stayed as a group of 6 on the New Field. It was busy but not overcrowded and we had a great weekend. Lots of things to do in the local area or plenty to do on site f you choose to stay.

Great facilities for children and we lived the idea of the Private Family Bathrooms! You should book these in advance.

Staff were so helpful and maintained high standards of cleanliness on the site as well as encouraging visitors to uphold the rules of the site.

Overall a wonderful family site in a brilliant location. We would definitely recommend and definitely go back....Read less.

This is a lovely campsite with 3 fields on site, one with a children's park. The staff are friendly checking in was good, the shower blocks are spacious and clean they also have 3 private bathrooms which you can hire from 1 hour to 24 hours if you want and they are available at reasonable price.The area is lovely with nice walks and the town of Holmfirth is only 10 minutes by car, there is also a Lidl store and a small Sainsbury's and Co-Op.

I would definitely recommend this site.

Stayed as part of a group, chose site due to good reviews, convenient location and facilities. Nice, attractive site, well maintained grounds. EHU Pitches not large if using family tent, bit of jigging about to fit on and car etc. Washrooms/ pot wash whilst good, would benefit from extending/more regular checks/ replenishment during peak times like the Bank Hol where every inch of grass seemed to have a tent on it. . Queues for showers. potwash at busy times and on several occasions no toilet roll in any of the ladies as so many campers using them. But clean, modern and good facilities. Shower press button- be better if stayed on longer- each press only lasts around 2 seconds. Shop well equipped and reasonable prices. Play area nice and modern for children. Good activities like archery and duck race on site. Kampers Kitchen a great and very popular little facility for drinks, snacks and take out meals. Nice walks etc from the site so can forget the car. River lovely for children to play in. Staff friendly and helpful. Would definitely revisit this site, especially at less busy times....Read less.

The site is well hidden from the main road, so no road noise at all

The site is very picturesque with a duck pond hills and trees, very clean There are two lots of showers block

One is quite old but serves ok

The other is very modern and also has family bathrooms to hire if you wish.

Great for families with Children or couples who wish to be on their own , juts request a quiet pitch.

Great walks , pubs, and food, cant wait to return, thoroughly enjoyed it...and dog friendly too!...Read less.

A great site for families. Having a playground in the camping field was the best bit! The showers and toilets were lovely and never had to wait. Great having a shower with a large area to dry.

It was a shame there were no activities or catering when we visited...Read less.

Caravan pitch totally gravel could have done with some grass it was a bit like being parked around the edge of a car park.. New shower toilet block very good and always clean. Very convenient for the Yorkshire countryside but Huddersfield town centre also only ten minutes or so away. Entrance lane single track another passing place needed bit of a worry about meeting another towing vehicle but overall a good stay in a great location....Read less.

We've been here several times over about 8 years. Each time we go we can see improvements and this time we were impressed with the drive-up check in and friendly staff. We stayed in the furthest field and prefer it to the others.

It's really handy for walking down into Holmfirth and trying some of the pubs but be careful if taking the route provided at reception; not suitable for prays and we ended up getting slightly lost!...Read less.

This was our first visit to the site and we will definitely return. Our children loved being able to play in the river as well as the on site play area. The showers and toilet facilities were clean and well maintained and the shop well stocked. Not too far to travel for us and we had a lovely time,...Read less.

We recently stayed fri sat nite 18th, 19th August. Unfortunately an abandoned vehicle was on part of our pitch!! But despite this we had room for a 3 bedroom tent!! The staff are always friendly n helpful from phonecalls to visit 5 stars!! The toilet/ shower block was cleaned on a regular basis and well modern!!! Despite the rain most of saturday, it was a chilling break and the food in the catering kiosk well nice!!!!...Read less.

Friendly efficient site. We regularly visit as we can walk into Holmfirth easily and the surrounding countryside. Very lively with lots of children but remains a relaxed atmosphere. Staff are very friendly....Read less.

We arrived with a problem and the staff were very helpful and got us sorted. The facilities were very good and kept clean which is hard over the weekend when it is busy. Unfortunately the site is 4hrs away or we would be back sooner....Read less.

I've stayed on Holme Valley several times now and it is a brilliant campsite. I normally stay on the small bottom, quiet field by the river, but I have also stayed on the top field and the campervan pitches.

The facilities are excellent and always spotless, and the shop and cafe are a real bonus. We hired the private bathroom facilities for our two night stay, which are £12 for the first 24 hours and then £10 for each following day. They can be hired for shorter periods to suit but trust me, they are worth every penny. You would be pushed to find a better bathroom in a top hotel.

All in all a fantastic site, I wish more were as good as this.

We were a bit apprehensive about the approach lane and the fact that we should not follow the navigator but we needn't have worried because when I rang to ask directions I was given clear advice and we found the site without a problem.We were also provided with leaflets advising us on the local bus service and how to get to the three bus stops available.The brochure for the site is extremely useful and informative.The staff could not be more helpful or friendly. Obviously the new toilet block was nicer but we were nearer the old block which was ok. The water was very hot though and difficult to regulate, care needed. We shall definitely return to our favourite pitch by the pond....Read less.

Good size pitch for our small tent with electric but I had to ask someone to replace their tent as they were in our numbered area and said they'd been told it was fine to go anywhere on the field. They weren't needing electric. The site is lovely and the toilet shower facilities are good. I think it needs more washing up facilities especially as the camp food kiosk also washes up there. People were queueing for ages.

Our main problem was the language of people camping there unfortunately there was more than one family at it and having people effing and blinding at 3 in the morning at their children was not appropriate. Unfortunately I know the campsite can't really patrol for language but it's put me off going again 😣...Read less.

This was my 6th or 7th stay at Holme Valley. We stay here because it is handy for Holmfirth and also a very quiet and clean site. The staff are always helpful and the facilities are always clean and tidy. The only grumble is a minor one and that is that the entry road is narrow and can be potholed. As I indicated, this is a minor issue and not one that would stop me recommending it to anyone....Read less.

My family and I had a lovely time at Holme valley. We stayed on the bottom field and everything was there that we needed. The children played on their bikes and the play area, the washing up and shower facilities were on the same field so everything was close by. The showers and toilets were very clean and I saw cleaners in them every morning. Overall a great time was had by all. We will definitely be returning for future camping holidays....Read less.

Good toilet and wash facilities. Friendly and helpful staff. Stayed for three nights as a family group of 4 pitches. Children did not really try out the children's entertainment but there appeared to be quite a bit on offer. Mobile pizza wa a success for Saturday evening meals. Very clean site and would recommend to friends. Dog friendly as we had three dogs with us. Kids loved paddling and having fun in the stream close by....Read less.

Been coming since I was a child with my parents and now continue to cone with my children. Staff are very nice and helpful. It's a lovely campsite. Quiet and great country walks if that's what you want....Read less.

great weekend, one of our party (9 units) could not fit on their pitch due to tents on either side taking up too much room. however staff were happy for us to squeeze them in between the rest of us which was better all round, although we did end up being an electric point short. but it didn't spoil the weekend....Read less.

Lovely site, very shaded pitch by the pond. Ideal for fishing: pond and river. Tickets from shop and post office walking distance in Brockholes. Shop well stocked and all staff very helpful. Helpful info sheets in the shop for walks through the woods to Holmfirth and Brockholes. Holmfirth about a mile away, Lidl close.

The only area needing some improvement is the older shower block near the shop. Also I'm not a fan of the push button showers but appreciate why they are necessary....Read less.

A lovely campsite with loads of space to run about. Highlights included the amazing circus skills in the top field, excellent written directions to pubs and villages, a nature walk and the £4 taxi ride to all local villages. Clean, friendly and one to remember....Read less.

We stayed on the top field for a weekend in August and had a great time. The field was quieter than the others, which was perfect for us (three generations of family). There was a short walk and steps to the bathrooms from this field; the bottom field would be more suitable for anyone with accessibility needs.

Staff were friendly and attentive on check-in and the bins were regularly emptied. Noise was not an issue at all during our stay.

The site put on a circus skills event whilst we were there which seemed very popular with young children. We were given printed instructions by the shop for our walk into Holmfirth, which was a woodland route and took 30-45 minutes (it was quite hilly and it was a shame about the litter en route but this is no reflection on the campsite).

I'd definitively recommend this site for families. The riverside has space for 5 small tents (adult couples only) so I'd also consider returning with my partner on our own too. A great value weekend away!...Read less.

This is a great site, except for two points:

- We stayed in the new field which was overbooked and crammed full. In the afternoon people were arrived and doing laps of the field because they couldn't find anywhere to pitch.

- More need to be done to enforce noise rules. There were two or three families in the new field blasting music out of their car stereos and shouting and swearing until 2am. The site should do spot checks as other campers shouldn't have to be responsible for telling other people to keep it down. There were couples with young babies on the site and I really felt for them as they can't have got any sleep....Read less.

First off cannot fault the staff real friendly people, Lovely pitch we where placed on over looking the pond, a shame children and adults don't understand that it's a pitch and use it as a walk though also they stand right in front of your door, you need a key pad to get into the toilets but surprised there's not one to get out as they where awful...Read less.

We stayed here for one night as passing through. Nice little site lots off ducks walking around great for the wee ones, nice small play area that's about all we had time for but looked very nice for walks...Read less.

Absolutely beautiful, clean and friendly place to stay.. Google maps sends you to the centre of Holmfirth.. So ensure you know where you're going. In my opinion, it's almost perfect.. And would be if only they allowed campfires. Without electric and suffering from chilly evenings, a campfire to huddle around would have made my holiday perfect and would have warranted 5*.....Read less.

We stayed on a busy summer holiday weekend and it rain heavily half the time, but we enjoyed ourselves nonetheless. Our kids were very happy playing with others on the park and around the playground. The facilities wee very good and reasonably despite the mud and rain. The Ciderpress Cafe in Netherthong is worth a visit, the staff were lovely,...Read less.

Really nice site a mile or so outside Holmfirth.

Great, new facilities, regularly cleaned. Really good children's play area opposite the facilities and pot wash and a small well-stocked shop staffed by a really friendly team. Felt generally safe and good to let the kids (8 and 3) wander around and still be able to see them.

Negatives would be that the lower field can get cramped as no marked non-electric pitches (combined with very selfish families) means you can be camping on top of each other in the centre. Also, camper vans turning up at 10.30pm unloading and slamming doors. Would suggest limiting late check-ins to 9pm. Curfew should be enforced too, especially the drunken christians singing hymns til midnight in the next tent!

Overall a good site and would recommend....Read less.

Great camp site set in a lovely part of the country. Green space but not too remote from towns, villages and cities and local attractions. 1st class washroom facilities, the best experienced in 5 camping trips. Down sides include not being able to have a camp fire which is something we enjoy as a family and the lack of guidance from the owners in terms of where to pitch. For hook ups this is not a problem but being informed to pitch in the center of the field means that there is a lack of structure with no control / organization in terms of car parking and pitching of the tent which all felt a little disorganized. Although there was significant rain during the week, the field drained remarkably well which meant mud etc. was kept to a minimum. We would like to thank the owners for running a great site and would strongly recommend to others considering a visit. James...Read less.

The campsite is lovely, well kept and the facilities are very clean. We stayed with friends and kids for a long weekend which we really enjoyed. We signed up for the kids archery which was well worth the money and the guy running it was excellent.

Only downside was were were next to a group of lads (and one child) who were up all night, swearing, drinking, being sick and revving the car engines. A couple of them were sleeping in the cat so they had the engine running all night. Luckily my kids slept through it but I was awake most of the night as found it quite intimidating. The rules state no noise after 10pm but these were not enforced at all. It's a shame as that marred the weekend for me....Read less.

Lovely campsite! Play area for kids on the same field as pitches! Staff going round multiple times a day making sure everywhere was clean and tidy. Toilets and shower area nice and modern and plenty of room in the shower, there was only 3 showers which didn't seem alot as one night it was very busy so had to wait to use the shower! The shower itself was awful, the spray was light and fine with no real pressure so took ages to wash my hair plus the water only stayed on for 8 seconds, that is no exaggeration and the temperature was hit and miss, there was a blast of super hot in the middle which was too hot for me never mind my 4 year old so only got to use the last 3 seconds of that blast, in the end had to keep my hand on the shower button so it stayed on but as you can imagine trying to wash with one hand was rather difficult! In future I think I would pay the extra n book a family bathroom for one night as I did originally think that it was an unnecessary cost to pay out but not now I have been! When we stayed the first night was very busy! We were told to pitch in the middle of the field so we did, when we putting our tent up a rather large group near us then started complaining that we were in the middle of their f***ing football field! What a lovely welcome this was! As we had already started putting up our tent n there was limited space we didn't move but I wish we had as they were very loud all night! There were 3 tents that had come camping together and they were drinking from 10.30am when we arrived until after 1am the next morning! They had music really loud until 10pm and them were talking and shouting till after 11pm as you can imagine it took quite a while for our 4 year old and 1 year old to get off to sleep! Just glad it was raining as it did drown out the noise that went on into the early hours! Glad they left the next morning! The next night was loads better! I think it definitely makes a difference when you have quieter guests!! I do wish security would have been about as there are rules about noise. I would definitely go again as the noisy neighbours were not the fault of the campsite!...Read less.

Our first night was kept up until 4am by group of lads playing load music and smoking some funny gear !!!

Their caravan was right next to shop but nothing was done about them . Sorted it out myself next day . After that not a bad stay . Road to site is shocking !! rattles your teeth out . also no soap in old toilets / elsan area ....Read less.

The access roadway could do with some maintenance.

The toilet block adjacent to the shop was very poor.

The Elsan room was disgusting- very smelly and dirty.

There are a number of caravans that look as though they accommodate permanent residents rather than tourers. A number are in a very poor state and this gives this section of the park a rather neglected feel....Read less.

Amazing campsite with amazing facilities. Location is perfect with countryside surroundings but not too far from amenities and shops etc. The site is well laid out and the facilities are second to none. The food hut is a fantastic idea. An all round amazing campsite would definitely recommend to anyone....Read less.

This is the 6th time we have stayed at this site. As usual the staff friendly the facilities clean. The weekend was very busy in the bottom field during the week it was quiet. Lovely place and cant wait to go back....Read less.

I needed a base for a little holiday while my son was doing a course at Sheffield so stayed alone. I arrived late and the lady in the shop was super friendly and nice. I was in the ultra quiet camp spot, which I didn't love I must admit as it's overlooked by a line of ugly newbuild houses and next to two paths, both of which had quite loud people yelling at their dogs. But that's a minor quibble as the site was nice and so were the people. The facilities were spotless and the showers were nice and hot. I like the local town and had a nice meal there....Read less.

As all other pitches were full on our weekend we stayed in the top pitch which was ideal for us as a couple the only problem I had was the toilet facilities shared with the caravaners were very dated but were clean, these could do with updating. Recommendations for food outside camp were not always accurate so check first if you have a dog...Read less.

We visit this site regularly as an easy get away from just outside Manchester. We've seen it improve and improve with it's facilities and staff are always very friendly and helpful. My only suggestion to campers is to take insect repellent as it's near water and so rather midgey early evening. Site rules are abided by and altogether a very pleasant stay. Thank you!...Read less.

My husband and I stayed for a short weekend break staying in a tent. This is a return visit for us and we were not disappointed. The campsite offers everything we require of a site, the shower facilities are lovely modern and clean, there is another older block which is dated but very clean and has electric sockets. There is plenty of space with two large fields, there is also a small quiet field available. There is a lovely childrens play area, a shop and all set around a lovely lake and woodland area. All the staff at the site are very friendly and helpful and they offer lots of useful information about the local area. We are looking forward to our return visit....Read less.

There was no hot water for washing up on the Saturday at all so had to wash in cold water ! Shower plug hole needs unplugging as water was building up in the showers. These are only little things and everything else was brilliant and we will still return to this site ....Read less.

Enjoyed a lovely weekend here, lovely site. Only a short distance away from home which is prefect for a weekend break. Enjoyed a couple of meals prepared by the new 'kampers kitchen'. Holmfirth is about 40 mins walk and a short riverside walk leads to a nice pub. Will be back....Read less.

Very good ammenaties and wild life area with fishing lake. A shop for essentials if needed and food bar at certain times . Slightly spoilt by condition of permanent pitches . Not seen on camping fields !...Read less.

Can not fault Holme Valley. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Even the camp cook/kitchen was a nice touch. For when you get there on a friday tea time after you have pitched tents. Cooking might be the last thing on your mind....Read less.

Had a fantastic weekend camping with friends last week and had such lovely weather.

The wash facilities were very modern and clean and we also hired a family bathroom. We did have a problem with the shower not draining away which we reported and were given an alternate bathroom.

The food onsite was lovely and staff very accommodating. The kids loved to play in the river.

The only thing I would say is that another point to wash pots would be useful as often queued for this and also if the shop stocked ice for drinks in the warm weather

...Read less.

From first booking i could tell our weekend camping was going to be a good experience. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The facilities are spotless , the food kitchen serves good quality food and childrens play area excellent. over all a very enjoyable weekend we will be back very soon....Read less.

We booked onto the Holme Valley Camping and Caravan Park as we were going to a concert at Holmfirth Picturedrome. The site is well situated for this purpose, being about a mile from Holmfirth off the Huddersfield road. The site is located in a wooded area in the bottom of the valley and the surrounding trees create a calm and tranquil atmosphere that makes you feel as if you are further away from urban development than you actually are. My wife and I thought the site was excellent with various different areas for different purposes (caravaners, motorhomes, people with younger families etc.). As there were just two of us, my wife and I decided to camp in the 'Ultra Quiet' area, which is a small, flat area in the valley bottom, near the river. We had this area to ourselves and it was as described, which suited us fine. All was quiet on our return from town and we both had a very good night's sleep.

As we were only staying for one night we didn't bring our own cooking facilities but ate out in Holmfirth town centre, which has a wide variety of restaurants. We did use the campsite's own on-site catering (situated in the 'family friendly' bottom field) for breakfast though and we found this to be excellent with a good choice of alternatives and very reasonable prices.

Overall, my wife and I were very impressed with the site, it's location and facilities for different types of camper. We would go back again if we were attending an event in Holmfirth or if we just fancied a change of scene for a weekend....Read less.

We booked in for one night as passing through, so pleased decided to stay for full 6 days. Can not fault site in any way and all staff (admin and grounds) very accommodating and polite.

We opted for ultra quiet area and ended up by ourselves. Sounds idyllic however busy dog walk on other side of river which is noisy and we were concerned about security. Would return to a busier field....Read less.

If you are not one for camping then this is the best place to ease you in. I live in Huddersfield but when I am camping in Holmfirth, I feel as though I am in a different country because of the beautiful surroundings.

For regular campers, the only thing that could put you off is that you can't have a camp site fire.

Overall a great place to stay with great value for money....Read less.

The shower to the right as you go into the block (ladies) only stays on for 8 seconds. I did mention this as a problem last season but still the same on my return this year.

I also think that with electric hook up the price should be per party not per person with £3 being a reasonable amount per night. I would seriously struggle to spend £3 a night at home even with every appliance running!

Other than that, great little site, and shall see you again next year if not sooner....Read less.

Great place to camp with family or friends, loads of space for kids to run around, river and woods to go wild plus good playground. Handy catering on site for those without all the camping gear. Very clean facilities. Also, close to Holmfirth for great fish n chips, Lidl plus nice shops. Close enough for train at Brockholes, too....Read less.

My children loved the weekend away at holme valley park playing in the park and meeting new young friends... the staff was very friendly, helpful & accommodating.... my only concern I had was the lane to the site pot holes and single lane.... your stuffed if going up the lane and another caravan or camper are coming down..... but on a positive note I will definitely book again and recommend to others....Read less.

Loved this park. Good kids' playground, nice clean shower block, well-maintained. We really enjoyed the archery session we booked in for. Dog-friendly. Quiet & scenic. My only gripe was the amount of litter, which is obviously the fault of other campers not the site staff/owners, as there are PLENTY of bins around!! 😕...Read less.

Disgusted with the service at the food hut, very aggressive and unhelpful staff for questioning the excessive wait of nearly two hours and spending £50 for our evening meals.

Threatened by security staff that would not be welcome to stay again at the holiday park due to playing music very low inside the tent. Bearing in mind first visit by security....Read less.

Fantastic wk-end away with the hubby n our three dogs loverly surrounding area especially for dog walking will definitely be returning as we enjoyed every minute of it staff very friendly and helpful there's was nothing to dislike just a brilliant site...Read less.

Stayed here because it was very close to Huddersfield - we were attending the University Open Day so wanted to stay over night to allow plenty of time to visit the city too. The location was perfect for access to Huddersfield. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The shop is useful for picking up the basics if you have not brought any food/drinks and the layout was nice set up around a pond. The shower block was amazing - one of the best I've experienced on a camp site - my teenaged daughter was impressed! We would go there again (and may well do if she does go to Huddersfield Uni) but only during term time as the site is set up well for families and we prefer it to be a bit quieter....Read less.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay. We went mid week and it was very quiet. Staff could not have been more helpful and situated us close to the new disabled facilities. Staff observed picking up any litter dotted around. The small shop caters for basic tinned camping supplies and a fridge with sliced meats,bacon,cheese butter rec.

Husband enjoyed fishing in the pond .£4'00 for the day.

The access route whilst not very long does need updating with at least another passing place.

A really good base for the lovely surroundings.

Would definitely recommend....Read less.
