Lovely quiet site in Marsett at farm at end of valley near Bainbridge. Large pitches each with fireplace. Good and very clean facilities. Amazing birdlife and could listen to calls of geese, curlews, lapwings, owls, etc. Also saw hares. Close to Wensleydale and Swaledale. Would definitely recommend.
Great!

This is a great campsite close to Hawes Village and Aysgarth Falls and just down the road from a lake with water sports. There is easy access to various historic/market towns and lovely walks. The hosts are very welcoming, the on-site facilities are excellent with very clean showers and toilets. Nearly all visitors during my stay bought logs for the fire-pits so it was very welcoming at night. It is a quiet and peaceful camp, although at the same time had a complete mix of families with children, dogs, solo travellers and couples. Highly recommend.
Welcoming and hospitable

Jo was welcoming. The standards of the cleanliness of the toilets and shower block were high. Lots of space in each pitch. A well stocked shop to buy essentials. Stunning views of the local area from the campsite.
Felt at home, welcomed, and enjoyed the peace

We felt very welcome in this well-kept site: the surroundings felt as remote and peaceful as possible in England. Jo and Marc were excellent hosts, making us feel welcome and cared for from the word go. All the facilities were very clean, and the location is superb. We felt the peace of the area, especially on the weekdays when there were only a few other campers present. Appreciated the info on local walks, with very helpful maps, as well as locations further away. Having the possibility of croissants for breakfast and pizza for evening meals some days, was very special. We knew there would be no phone signal before we came, so we were able to adapt easily, and it made the holiday better. Thank you, Stablefell Campsite!!
A wonderful first time at camping

We were new to camping and the Stablefell campsite couldn’t have been more perfect. Jo and her partner were warm and friendly hosts. The toilet/showers are clean and tidy and the outside washing up area as well. Their shop is full of essentials where we bought wood and kindling, coffees and pizzas for the Saturday which were delicious! The chickens and goats near the site are adorable and each tent pitch area is very spacious so there is plenty of room between each tent. We had a wonderful experience and would love to return in the future. There is a lovely walk to Semer Water lake from the campsite and we visited Aysgarth Falls and Hawes during our stay which are not far in the car. Thank you!!
Excellent

I had a lovely stay at Stablefell Campsite. I loved the quiet and beautiful surroundings. The campsite is remote and tucked away in a beautiful part of the Yorkshire Dales, within a few hours after my arrival, I was able to let go of daily life thoughts. This was a solo trip and I spent the evenings just staring at the hills, the trees and listening to the sounds of birds, sheep, cows and horses. Really relaxing. Nice walks in the area, beautiful waterfalls to visit and Hawes is a lovely little town close by. The campsite is clean with spacious pitches and the other guests were really friendly. The hosts are very kind and helpful . I will definitely come back for a longer stay.
What a great find!

Pitches are a great size with plenty of room to spread out around the fire pit if you wish. The facilities are modern and kept very clean. The highlight is the surrounding views, which are fantastic. It a lovely basic campsite, somewhat remote and is perfect for chilling out and enjoying the beauty of the dales. They also run a pizza night and croissant and coffee breakfast, both are great, but the croissants are warm and should absolutely not be missed! You are very close to the pretty village of Hawes, as well as Aysgarth Falls and just a half hour drive from the Forbidden Corner.

Lovely campsite nice and quiet. Liked having chickens wondering around the site. Nice extra touch with pizza and coffee on site. Having a fire pit was a bonus too. Toilets/showers very clean. Would definitely stay here again 😃🐓🐐

This is one of those reviews where you want to tell everyone how fantastic it was staying here, but also don't want anyone else to go because you want it all to yourself! The site was so lovely, we had a fantastic time getting away from it all. The owners were so helpful and informative about the site and surrounding areas, we will definitely be returning here.

Joan was a great host. Even had to play nurse and get me and ambulance for a pre existing issue. She kept checking in on me when I didn't get back. I have family in larger surrounding area so used as base camp some days. Great amenities, nice patches with own fire and ample wood available. Right tucked out the way, so bring your walking boots as you will need them and plenty of wet weather gear as the weather is unpredictable around these parts. If you want to daily shop etc I'd say a vehicle is a must, however 3.5 mile along road is a wee village Bainsbridge with a cafe for day eating and bar/hotel for dinner and a pint. Tell them scotch fella by name jai ( j-eye ) said hello! Connecting buses to Hawes and other areas is situated here. 156 for the wee white bus. Selective time table on some villages and you need booking a day ahead but it opens up the dales to you. Now if trekking in IMPORTANT... only one bus and train combination gets you here. Google is misleading! Garsdale is the only stop on the Carlyle or Leeds line. You can get connection via bus (I was £100 on the way in on a taxi) and limited times so plan well and double check each day. It's still easy enough. Ideal for peace and quiet and outdoor kids who like to adventure as plenty small to medium walks and wildlife to be seen.
Amazing and perfect!

Wonderful, just wonderful! Beautiful, 360° views, large pitch, super well organised, lovely toilets, and shower facilities, wonderfully helpful and lovely hosts. This is now our favourite campsite! It was brilliant not to be crammed in but to have our own large pitch for the children to run around and play football. The shop is stocked with goods that you may find you need and is reasonably priced. The home-made pizzas on offer absolutely delicious and super value for money. It's lovely to see the animals which consist of horses, goats, chickens, etc. Wonderful walks on the doorstep where you can explore hidden gems, and also see nature at its best. We saw cows, sheep, lambs, red squirrels, birds of prey, hares etc. It was really good to be Internet and phone free for a while! For those who really need it…. You won't have to travel too far to login. My son has a nut allergy and both Jo and Marc were absolutely wonderful checking ingredients for the pizzas, and being on hand at any time, if we did experience an emergency. Cannot recommend this site enough. Nothing is too much trouble. I did read one bad review before I wrote this and can honestly say that I think the person who wrote that review was talking about somewhere completely different. Sometimes the little things make a big impact, which they have done, such as having washing up liquid at the sinks and a hairdryer in the shower room. This has made things just a little bit more stress free and comfortable. This is a very quiet site (as in noise levels are low) and even at full capacity would not be overcrowded at all and still super pleasant to stay there. The site is blessed with beautiful countryside and also dark skies which are super stunning. The shop also sells firewood and marshmallows for the campfires that are on every pitch. We will definitely be back in the very near future! This will definitely be a regular haunt for us.
Best quiet place to be found in the area

Good contact with the owners, felt looked after. Clean and friendly environment , whether spending time on the pitch or to go and look around. Lots to see about and this was also the perfect place to start daily trips to other attractions - most in 20 a mile range. Four nights was like a beginning and it went so fast. Definitely to go back again. Many thanks to the owners Marc and Jo. A&K.

Fab stay over the bank holiday weekend at Stablefell. This is a lovely site, well kept and well run by Marc and Jo, who work hard to make you feel welcome and provide an excellent service. Pitches are a good size, meaning the site doesn't feel overwhelmed even when fully booked. The location is very scenic, tucked away in a quiet corner of the Dales. There is even on-site catering with home made pizzas, which are delicious! Will definitely return.

Lovely quiet campsite in idyllic setting. No need to venture far, as pizza is available on site. Friendly owners. Fell in love with a dark-haired friendly chicken on site. Amazing pub called The Kings Head 10 min drive. Beautiful trip.

This site is amazing! The shower block is so clean and feels like you are walking into a hotel bathroom. Pitches are large so you have privacy. The views are 360 and absolutely spectacular. We would highly recommend this site to get away from the hustle and bustle and have some chill time, Jo was so lovely and helpful.

The campsite is great (I have stayed there previously), however, despite contacting the owners prior to my stay to ask why, I still do not understand why I had to book for two nights (Friday and Saturday) when I only wanted to stay for one night (Friday). It was not the holiday season/school holidays, the campsite was almost empty and I only have a very small two-man tent.
Great stay

We had a brilliant stay, was a shame we were only there for 1 night, but we will certainly be back soon. Great campsite in lovely scenery in a nice quiet area of the dales, made better by the peace by the campfire when it got dark.
