Overview

We booked this site, way back during lockdown, when campsites were all booked up almost for the whole year. We were just glad to have found somewhere to get a week away. So checking accessibility wasn't my top priority. To be fair, when away in the motorhome, we have our own toilet and shower and as long as hubby is with me, most things are possible. If I'd have come here alone, I would have seriously struggled though.

Transport & Parking

The journey here was okay. We came, as advised by the site, from Skipton up a B road to Grassington, which was fine. You turn left off this road in Thresfields, up a long dead end. Initially, this is a normal road but the last km or so is the narrowest single track road ever! I was driving the car and had to do a double take. Hubby was following in the motorhome. He must have wondered where we were going. Glad we took the car, as days out, getting the motorhome up and down that lane would have been stressful!

Access

The owner had noted that I am a wheelchair user and pitched us near the service point and other facilities. The site is on a hill, so getting around the site is tricky in places. I used my mountain trike as the paths are all quite uneven compacted gravel. The main facilities are in a courtyard, which is flat and really pleasant. I had hoped we might be able to walk direct from the site into Grassington but the lane out is so narrow, a car wouldn't be able to pass me in my chair, so we had to use the car each day. There is a dog walk on the site, which is secure and apparently safe to let dogs off lead. However, it is not accessible even with an offroad chair. There is a narrow gate and then steps down and hubby said the ground is steep and very uneven. I've yet to find a site with a dog run that works for me.

Toilets

There are no accessible toilets or showers. The ladies toilets have a narrow door and step entrance, so I just used my own.

Staff

The couple who live here and own the site are lovely. Friendly, helpful, nothing too much trouble. We visited at the end of October and the site was completely full, so they probably don't need/want to invest in making it more accessible, which is a shame, as the accessible sites I've visited are generally better for all.
