Plenty of nice forest walks with ease of access to Holmfirth (a couple of miles) and beyond. Site itself was nicely laid out for all types of vans tents etc. Nice country feel and protection from trees.
Cleaning of toilets coincide with latest departure times so no last squeeze before you go.
If you want a rest from cooking ,there is a Mobile chippy on Saturdays but also nice Italian restaurant just across the river ....Read less.

Beautiful site right on a river, even though the road is overhead all you hear is the babbling brook and the birds tweeting. We were on a grass pitch and the new toilet facilities in that field were outstanding. Will definitely be a returning customer. The only gripe if I had to have one is the toilets and showers are closed for cleaning a bit too early for us as we like a lie in and to potter about in a morning. There is another toilet and shower block but it’s a bit of a hike from the grass field and there always seemed to be a queue at this one when the other was shut. An hour later to clean them would be Preferable....Read less.

Unfortunately we do not have a drive over waste disposable point, but we do have a drain so you can attach a hose pipe to your unit and empty your waste that way. I hope this information is useful for when you visit us again.

My wife and I booked for four nights. When we arrived we were given a welcome sheet which stated that if we were over a certain age we could have an extra night free if we had booked for four nights or more provided this did not occur over school holidays or bank holidays. Seeing we are in our eighties and we thought we qualified we asked if we could have an extra night as there were neither school holidays or bank holidays in force at the time but were told that the camp site was fully booked. I was not aware if this offer was made when we booked but we had no knowledge of it. I think to honour the agreement we could have been fitted into one of your fields even with no electricity but no offer was made. It made me wonder if it is genuine!...Read less.

I am sorry we couldn't accommodate you for your 5th night - it was a Friday and the first night of the Festival of Folk weekend and so all our pitches, including the fields were fully booked. I have seen from the notes on your booking that the receptionist you spoke to has offered to carry your free night to a future stay, so I hope you can do this. I can assure you the special offer is genuine - we have 4 guests just this week who have taken advantage of it and I am happy to process a refund for the cost of the 5th night if it is already paid for. I hope you understand, we can only carry it out if we have a pitch available. I hope you enjoyed your stay and that we can welcome you back again sometime. Best wishes, Naomi....Read less.

The site is very pretty and well located for local towns and walking areas. We did not like having to pitch on hardstanding, which seems to be all there is for caravan users. Pricing is a little high for the standard of the site, possibly due to its proximity to tourist area. Although busy during our stay it was quiet and at no times appeared overcrowded....Read less.

Many thanks for taking the time to write a review, it's good to hear you liked the park and enjoyed the area. Unfortunately, we are not licenced to pitch caravans in the fields due to the lower level and its close proximity to the river - if we could change this, we certainly would! I am sorry you felt our prices were high, as you stayed over the bank holiday weekend they do fall in high season for those 3 nights. Your feedback is important to us though and I will bear this in mind when we review our prices. I am glad you felt it was peaceful despite being a busy bank holiday weekend. We hope to welcome you again sometime. Best wishes, Naomi....Read less.

We’ve stayed previous years at holme valley and enjoyed the bigger park for the children.
Unfortunately the park seems smaller and not as much for the older children there eldest being 10.
Also the washing up near the park only had cold water… not great for washing up.
The cleanliness of the park is second to none and helpful staff but the closure of the toilets/shower close to the park we’re shut for cleaning - no issues with the cleaning but the times they were shut were always running over which was a pain then having to go round the other side of the park to use them toilets.
All in all still a lovely site but expensive for what it is still love the camp site, it’s layout, friendliness but unfortunately we won’t be affording to stay again.
We have found somewhere else local to us with more amenities for the children for an extra £4 with electric than what we paid for holme valley....Read less.

We stopped here to break a long journey from Cornwall to Scotland and it was just what we needed. A warm welcome, top facilities and plenty of different options for pitches. We stayed in the new field which felt very much like back to basics camping, in the best possible way. Stunning location, felt centred in nature while not being hard to find and with plenty to do in the area. We wished we had stayed another night!...Read less.

Nice site, access alittle tricky if you have a 24 foot caravan, you could easily catch the back end of your van if not very careful. All the staff was lovely and very helpful nothing was to much trouble. The toilet block which is situated round the other side of the big pond really needs some attention, I was told at some point they would be refurbishing. Its very clean but not very inviting for a shower, I chose to have a shower in my caravan. Yes I would stay there again the campsite is nicely set out amongst trees. They have 2 large grass fields and the river runs by them, lovely. Nice walks aswell....Read less.

Lots of permanent pitches too close together and people staying on site full time did not feel health and safety was correct, also did not feel friendly place. Older shower block not been refurbished for over 20 years and surely with the money they are making it could have been refurbished well before the refurbishment promised later this year, Lake looked dirty and were told by locals they would never ever fish in there. Were told by people who were staying there that it had really gone down hill since the daughter had taken over the site and that she was really mean and not looking after the place which is definately the feeling we and other first time users had and we and others all felt we would never come back....Read less.

We are extremely disappointed to read this review. Although we appreciate customers taking the time to write reviews of the park, your feedback has confused us to say the least. I myself was also surprised to read all your negative points as, having worked the weekend myself, there was no indication that there was a problem with your stay and so couldn't help to improve things for you while you were here.
You mentioned that the park has gone downhill since I joined the family business, however as you have not stayed with us before, this is the opinion of someone else, not yourself, and unfair to publish on our website. We have not received feedback of this nature before, so I would be interested to know who has said this to you. I would like to address each of your comments made in the review. Our seasonal pitches are not in regular rows like many parks and are situated in amongst trees, however they do follow fire regulations - they are at least 6m apart and we have had inspections by fire officers to confirm this. Regarding the older amenities block, over the last few years, it has seen partial refurbishments with a new ceiling, it is painted every year and we ensure it is kept warm and clean. For a small family business, we have invested a great deal in the facilities, such as the newly tarmaced road leading to the park, a new shop/reception area, re-landscaping of pitches, the introduction of glamping units and a new play are. With regard to the pond, it isn't clear water, but it is a natural and healthy pond which attracts a range of wildlife. It also supports the stock of fish we have in there. I was surprised that locals had reported to you that they would not fish in the pond, as we do get good feedback from those that do fish. Again, however, this is the opinion of other people.
We were so disappointed to read your review as it doesn't reflect our overall reputation; we pride ourselves on being a friendly park (I welcomed you myself on your arrival) and see lots of repeat custom.
I telephoned you earlier so as to fully understand the comments in your review as we always take feedback seriously, so it was disappointing you felt you couldn't discuss this with me. If you change your mind, please feel free to ring or email me to clarify your points - I would really appreciate it, Naomi....Read less.
