A lovely site, with gorgeous views. I really enjoyed staying here. The only bug bear was a really late arrival at about 10pm in the pitch next to us, which disturbed us whilst they set up. Other than that, it was lovely. We'll be back next year

Loved it, I only stayed for a night but the girl on the reception was lovely and very helpful! I went to try and see the meteor shower and the view was amazing.

A great location and marvellous views, although access is a little difficult with single lane roads and gravel track. Not a problem, just be aware. Otherwise, a fantastic place.
What an amazing find this is!

Gosh, we have stayed at some campsites in our time, but this site out performs everything we have experienced before and we had a great stay. Fantastic views, first class facilities, friendly staff and a perfect situation in the countryside. Lovely local pubs and a superb cafe just down the road. We will be back as soon as we can get there. Thanks very much.

When I booked this site I thought it was expensive, but didn't have many options at short notice for where I needed to be, so went ahead anyway. However, when I saw the effort that had gone into creating this little gem on the hillside, and the standard of maintenance, the pricing appeared justified. The toilets and showers must be the cleanest I have ever seen on a site. Unfortunately, I missed out on the fresh coffee available from the little shop on both days, but the smell was divine, and there appeared to be a useful stock of staple items available. There are a variety of well-spaced pitches for various set-ups, and the tranquil location is idyllic, with a lovely dog exercise field to hand that is enclosed by stone walls, with mown paths across natural meadow terrain. Would certainly stay again if up that way.

Staff were lovely, very helpful and went above and beyond to assist with all our needs. Site was immaculate and shower block was spotless and modern. Pitches were level and spaced out amenities on site were great. There were lots of places nearby to visit.
Site good once you have got there!

Site good once you have got there! Friendly and helpful staff. Clean and modern facilities and hot showers. No directions or advice before arrival. Most obvious is through Bolton Abbey Estate entrance whose arch helpfully has a sign of height restriction of 10 feet something, but is quiet on the width which is 2.8m. Fortuitously, not a problem for our arrival but would have been helpful for those a little broader in the beam. In a small campervan tackling the next obstacle "Barden Bridge" was a bit tight and for my fellow camper with behemoth style caravans and motorhomes, would not be so contented.
Perfect site!

We chose a premium large plot but our tent only just fit on it and was very close to the tents on either side. Other plots seemed more spacious and the views were lovely. Facilities were clean and plenty of hot water.
A gem of a site

Howgill Lodge is an absolute Gem of a site. Well laid out and terraced so that our pitch (55) looked out over the beautiful dales rather than another tent. The toilet block was very clean and the showers were lovely and hot. Best of all are the wonderfully and varied walks available direct from the site. There was s river walk to the amazing Craven Arms, do try the steak n ale pie and beef dripping chips if you are a carnivore. Or try bouldering up Trotters Gill and over the open moor. Then finish off at the Craven Arms (there's a pattern emerging). If you want a breakfast treat one day, just down the lane is the Brownie Barn (oh and they do truly fantastic award winning brownies). Alternatively, you can grab freshly baked pastries from the on site shop.
Beautiful but rubbish Wi-Fi

Lovely spot, nice people but terrible internet. I know lots of people want to be away from the internet while on holiday but I have to work an hour or two a day! Hard here.

Lovely quiet location with pitches set apart nicely, allowing a degree of privacy for tents. Facilities were clean and tidy with a good washing up area and fridge-freezers available to use. Children loved the number of rabbits living in and around the site, and there is a small adventure playground for children to stay entertained.

We can't speak highly enough of Howgill. It surpassed all our expectations. The toilets and shower blocks are immaculate, the pitches are very big and all have their own picnic table which makes such a difference. The location is so serene and the views are beautiful. This is just what we needed to unwind. We did the recommended walks to Simon's seat and valley of Desolation as well as a trip to Bolton Abbey. Absolutely wonderful! Will definitely return.
What a stunning place!

A stunning location for an excellent first time in a campervan. The pitch was spacious and easy to reverse into, I appreciated the picnic table too. The facilities were more than expected, clean and well maintained. The staff on reception were all friendly and very helpful. It was lovely to see rabbits hopping around in the early morning. The site is well placed for several walks, without needing to move the van, and the information about the area was very useful.

The best campsite we have stayed at during our holiday. The site had very clean and modern facilities, a beautiful view from the campsite and a very nice atmosphere as well (due to the very friendly staff). The fresh coffee and pastries in the morning are the cherry on top. There were a lot of beautiful walks start from the campsite itself, no need to go far.

Howgill Lodge Campsite is in a lovely location but the roads and track to reach it are tricky! The facilities are good and the view from the top pitches is excellent. There are plenty of places to visit nearby. Plenty of pubs and places to eat.
