Based on a quiet working farm, Shay Gate Farm Campsite looks out over countryside with access to great walks and bike rides. It's a dog and family friendly spot, 20 minutes from Skipton and 30 minutes from the beautiful Forest of Bowland and the Yorkshire Dales National Park. For keen walkers and hikers, the Pennine Way is also only 20 minutes away. Campfires are welcome too, perfect for an evening under the stars!

Excellent, peaceful and the showers in the cattle trailers were so cute. Really good, just wish had more than one night.

On arrival, it's just a quick call to let them know you've arrived, I love how you can pick your own spot! The grass is well-kept (better than my lawn). The pegs themselves are massive we had a 6 berth tent and a van and still plenty of room. The toilets on site are toilets, not portaloo and very clean! The rubbish bins are all well-marked and easy to get to. Absolutely loved the idea of the shared washing-up area, very quirky. And the shower box, just genius. Away from everything, but close enough to get to. Lots of local chippys and pubs close by. Will definitely go back.

Shay Gate Farm is a very peaceful, well looked after campsite with stunning views. The camp manager was very friendly and you could see she was very busy bringing fire pits to other campers. Having access to showers and full working toilets made it even more of a joy. We set up our little van with the back door open facing over the valleys. If you are looking for a nice, peaceful and tranquil stay then I would recommend staying here.

Really impressed with the facilities at this campsite. Lovely, clean flushable toilets with hand-wash facilities. Great hot shower in the morning in the converted sheep trailer! There was quite a few people there, but didn't need to queue at any time. Firepit service was really handy. For the price of the pitch, I'm not sure how anyone could complain. There is a quiet policy after 10pm, so wouldn't be the place for a loud party. Will be back.

Lovely location and stunning scenery. Clean facilities and plenty of space- let's hope it stays that way. All quiet by 10.30 too. A short 15 min walk through fields to a local pub. We'll be back.

Lovely basic campsite with a stunning view. The facilities were well kept and clean every time we went it. The girl who was running the place was lovely and very helpful. Loved the fact they had different food trucks visit. Also had a walk up to the Emmet Arms which was a very nice pup and only 15 min walk.

Just back from my first visit to Shay Gate Farm and I loved it! Lovely little site in the middle of a fabulous view. Amy was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. This is a firm favourite on my list now. Showers are hot and better than at home, lol. Really simple, but lovely site. Thank you.

A beautiful farm to park up for a couple of nights and only a short drive into Skipton. There are plenty of toilets and shower facilities and although they look basic, the owners keep them spotless and clean. I would definitely stay here again.

It had lovely views and friendly staff, in a great location. Unfortunately, I went on a Bank Holiday. Very busy, with no allocated pitches, so tents were crammed in close together. Very noisy, with music playing until 1am. Only 4 toilets meant queues, though they were always clean and stocked. Would maybe try the site again, but not on a Bank Holiday.

Wonderful location and a nice clean site. Facilities were good (didn't try the showers but were told they were great), lacking in fridge space when busy, but that is to be expected and surprised it was provided. Friendly owner and lovely ground for pitching.

Rural location on a working farm. The facilities are basic but clean. The site is on a bit of a hill but didn't pose us any issues. The site was nice and quiet during the week but did get busy over the Bank Holiday weekend, which was to be expected. The site operated quiet hours between 10pm and 8am, which was adhered to. The hosts were friendly and helpful. We would stay here again.

If you like clean, well maintained, basic sites with friendly owners, this is for you. It's got all you need. It's clean and well maintained, the toilets are pleasant to use and the showers and washing up facilities are very clever. It is in a lovely location in easy walking distance of at least one nice pub/restaurant, and the people who run the place are really nice.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2022

Lovely peaceful spot and stunning views. Chosen as near home for a little one night stay, but lots to do if you're not from the area to fill a few days. Showers were fast flowing and hot which was great, and I love the site's quiet hours of 10pm to 8am. Grass was lovely and soft. Not one stone to contend with when pitching!
