Primitive grass and earth tent campsite (six person)
Liked: Back to nature feel. Very basic but pretty! We pitched a large 6 man tent with living area and had lots of space. Because the ground was wet I was helped to find the best spot. Fortunately nobody was staying in the yurt. I didn’t realise there were yurts. They look great! We would hire one out next time instead of pitching a tent. It’s close to local towns like knarsborough and Harrogate yet feels like you’re in the middle of nowhere when you’re on site. Surrounded with trees and wildlife. Friendly owners who were happy to help. Weirdly we loved the novelty of a compost toilet (Wasn’t smelly at all) The area was big enough for the kids to play games and we had fires at night. There’s a row of swinging ropes and a trampoline which unfortunately had a broken pole but still bounced.! Some stick dens would look brill in there!! Having no wifi!!! Got to see my kids being kids for once! We went for a walk towards beningbrough, it’s a lovely area. There’s a church Anne Brontë painted when she stayed there. And the river Ouse starts close by. My kids found this interesting and again found entertainment at falling in the water. We had such a lovely weekend despite the mud! Will be back. Thank you and good luck with the venture !
Disliked: Sadly the ground was very boggy but nobody can control the weather. Bring boots unlike me who forgot them!! Such thing as bad weather only bad clothing. Could maybe use some more rubber matting or stone paths around the play area and toilet area as sinking in mud when you’re bursting is no fun. The toilet light and sink is solar powered so once the charge went there’s no light or hand washing But we had torches and water to wash in the tent. And because there are so many trees around. Maybe the solar panel doesn’t get to charge quite enough?. Also a lock on the bathroom door would be great. Because it wasn’t busy It wasn’t a problem but I can imagine it would be if it was. A shower would be a really really really great addition but off grid is off grid.
