Orcaber Farm Caravan and Camping Park Reviews

First class weekend stay

Upon our arrival on Friday the 1st of September, we were greeted in the reception by a wonderful lady. I was given a very well detailed map of our pitch and the site facilities. We stayed Friday - Sunday on a large electric pitch and we can all say it was great. The facilities are exceptionally clean, with plenty of them to be used and very modern. Showers cost 50p for 10 minutes. We went across the road to the little stream, where our two children loved splashing and seeing all the wildlife. The only downside for us was the site got packed fast with lots of happy campers and we did not have a lot of space to play with the frisbees, it would be great for a little more playing space to be able to do this away from all the other campers. On Saturday night, we had the most amazing pizzas and chips that are made on site. You pay in advance and get given/choose a time slot. When it's your time, you simply go to the side window to let the staff know you have arrived and collect your food. Between 5 and 7 pm, a lovely man comes around on his quad delivering wood and fire pits for anyone who wishes to purchase. The price is now £8 per bag of logs and £8 per kindling, the fire pits are free to use. We will absolutely be visiting again - wonderful site and amazing staff. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your very informative review, Emma. We are really pleased you enjoyed your weekend and all the facilities and surrounding area, We are in the process of looking into a play park also where you could play with the frisbees! We are particularly made up that you found our staff to be great, we pride ourselves on our customer service so that was great to hear. I will let our amazing staff know!. We look forward to welcoming you back again in the future. Many thanks, Team Orcaber.

3 night stay at Orcaber

We took our 3 grandchildren (age 6 to 15) for a long weekend stay with the main aim being to try out a big five man tent, plus awning, that we had bought a while ago. We wanted to see if it was suitable for a long camping trip abroad. The site is extremely clean & the toilet/shower blocks are immaculate. We loved the free log burners where you can buy logs at a very reasonable rate & then sit around it during the evening, the kids loved roasting marshmallows! The electric pitches are a very generous size with plenty of room for tents & cars. We loved our stay & will be back!

Thank you Mr/Mrs Melvin, so glad Orcaber provided the ideal place to try out your tent. We are glad you liked our site and found the facilities clean. We look forward to seeing you again in the future. Team Orcaber.

A much needed night away

Just arriving home after a stay in a camping pod. The pod on arrival was clean and smelt fresh. The campsite as a whole gave a lovely family touch. Friendly campers and plenty of space for the children to play. A quad bike came round later on in the evening to deliver a pre ordered fire pit, logs and kindling which gave a lovely cosy feel. Toilets and shower blocks are perfectly clean. Only reason I gave 4 stars for facilities was because the pods say that they sleep 4, but I would say 3 comfortably is more accurate. Will definitely be returning!

Site's response

Thank you for your great review, really pleased you enjoyed your stay and found the facilities clean and up to spec! Yes I agree that 4 people is a bit of a push in the pods, it should really say 2 adults and 2 children, this is something we can look at. We look forward to seeing you again in the future. Kind regards all @ Orcaber.

Fabulous

This was a fabulous site. The shower blocks were absolutely pristine. Great dog walking facility across the road. A bit of a walk to the local pub on roads with no pavement, which can be a wee bit scary. I would definitely recommend it. Beautiful surroundings.

An amazing site, would highly recommend!

The last site in a four stop show and it did not disappoint! Staff were super friendly and helpful when booking in and the site has picturesque views all around. Great family site (so will be bringing the family back) which was spotless at any time of the day with fantastic facilities! Great service of fire pits offered and a well stocked shop as well. Close to the 3 peaks challenge and all of the surrounding attractions as well!

Thank you Lindsay for your lovely review, pleased you enjoyed the facilities and the fire pits, we hope to see you again in the future. Team Orcaber.

Perfect site

Have stayed at the site a few times, has been extended since my last visit but it was friendly and clean to make our holiday enjoyable. Love the fact that you can have a fire pit (free) which they bring to you along with the wood which is very reasonably charged.

Site's response

Thank you for your lovely review, Colin. It's nice to know when we are doing things right especially from a returning customer. All @ Orcaber.

Clean and tidy site

Lovely site with friendly owners. Excellent services. Hot showers (50p for 10 minutes) and clean toilet block with hairdryers. Pizzas available Saturday night (need to order early Saturday to be sure you can get one). Fire pits available to hire also. Would recommend for a lovely break in the Dales.

Thank you very much for your lovely review, so glad you found everything up to spec and we hope to see you again in the future. Gaynor.

Fab place, would stay again and recommend to anyone who would like to camp

Fab place, such a nice friendly campsite. The showers are amazing, so clean and plenty of time for the money which is just what you need. Has everything you need including a shower down for your pet which we thought was brill. It is a family-friendly site. Could have done with a quiet area away from kids but this was a last-minute booking, which they were very accommodating.

Thank you very much for your lovely review, so pleased you had a good time and found the facilities all up to spec. Kind regards, Team Orcaber.

Just brilliant!

What a fab place! The location is perfect, being close to the 3 peaks, loads of fantastic walking and fascinating caves. It is also within east reach of all the lovely towns and villages of the Dales. The staff are really helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the area and the facilities are excellent and clean. There is a shop selling all the basics and delicious freshly made pizza available on Saturdays. Fire pits and wood are also available each evening and there is a lovely walk down to a stream. There is no play park, but there is plenty of space for kids to enjoy themselves..mine had the BEST TIME EVER!!! Would definitely recommend!

Site's response

Well what a fantastic review, Jo. Thank you so much for your informative and positive review, so pleased you had a great stay and the kids enjoyed it too! We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Team Orcaber.

Thanks Emma, that's brilliant. So glad you enjoyed your stay and want to return, look forward to seeing you again soon. All @ Orcaber.

Fantastic campsite, fantastic stay

Myself and a friend came to Orcaber campsite to do three days of cycling in the Yorkshire Dales. It was extremely well situated for this. We stayed in a pod for two nights and the price in total was superb value for money. It had a small heater and numerous electric points which was perfect for what we needed. The campsite was clean and the facilities were great. The staff were super friendly and very welcoming. We were just gutted to arrive too late on Saturday to order a takeaway pizza which they were freshly preparing at the site when we arrived. We will definitely return to do so in the future. Thanks for a great stay.

Site's response

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Jamie. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay in one of our pods and had a great time walking exploring the surrounding area. Really pleased you want to return and we look forward to seeing you again in the future, make sure you get your pizzas next time! Team Orcaber.

Excellent

Really enjoyed our stay here. Owners were really friendly. Chilled, family friendly atmosphere. Not strict about tent/ pitch size, we could choose where we went on the field. Good facilities, very clean. Lots of hot water. The radio plays in the toilet shower block, which is a nice touch. It surprisingly had high quality loo roll, which I've never come across camping before and was much appreciated. Very good value for money. Lovely views. Lots of dogs and an easy dog walk from the site that was well signposted. Again, very clean. Tuck shop on site, which was stocked up. Lots of picnic benches so every group could have one in their tent area. All in all, couldn't fault it.

Site's response

Wow, thank you so much for your lovely review, I think you have pretty much covered everything there! We hope you will return again in the future. Team Orcaber.

Thanks so much for your great review and we look forward to seeing you again in the future, Phillip. Gaynor

Lovely

Three night stay in one of the pods. Campsite fairly busy, but all pitches well spaced out and plenty of clean facilities. Staff friendly and helpful. Stayed with our two dogs who loved their stay and play in the dog field and dog walk . Will definitely be booking again.

Site's response

We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay in our pods and also that the dogs enjoyed their stay too! We look forward to welcoming you back again in the future. Gaynor.

Great services

Great site but too many dogs allowed to break the lead rule and run free. Especially when there is a fantastic area provided for them. Our dog loved it.

Great campsite!

At the age of almost 40 and with lots and lots of camping holidays in those years I would say it was the best shower I have EVER had on a campsite! Well stocked shop, nice atmosphere, bonus fire pits which we weren’t expecting. All in all a great site and will be returning!

Site's response

Wow thank you so much for your positive feedback, Alice. We have invested a lot of blood sweat and tears into the site, so it's lovely to read such a fab review. We look forward to seeing you again in the future. Many thanks, Team Orcaber.

Great site

Stayed with family, good facilities.

Thanks James for your review, we hope you and your family will come and visit us again in the future. All @ Orcaber.

Camping

This is a beautiful site that is well maintained and looked after. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It is dog friendly, with an exercise field where you let them run off lead, and the service with the fire pit is brilliant, fetching them to your doors. The shower block and toilets are also very clean.

Thanks so much for your fab review, Julie. We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you again in the future. Kind regards all @ Orcaber.
