Lovely site with really good facilities, I picked a riverside pitch and spent hours just sat listening to the sounds of the river and the birds singing. Pub opposite, and Tea room and access to the manifold trail 200m away. Really couldn’t fault anything and am already planning my next visit.
Great site

This is our third stay at this site and we have two future bookings. It’s a lovely clean site with beautiful views and a pub that serves great food across the road. There is a dog walking field on site and there are beautiful walks straight from the site. I would thoroughly recommend.

Lovely pitch by the river, very well kept site. Toilets spotless and warm, with under cover pot wash. 2 big fridge and freezers, plus washing machine and tumble dryer. I had a call from Wynne to tell me my pitch was available an hour earlier than book in - never had that before, and he came to welcome me when I arrived. Can't fault the site in any way, so tidy, will be going again definitely. Thanks for a relaxing 2 days. Mick B.

Arriving on site to welcoming staff, using a fully serviced plot. We required the longer grey waste pipe to go under the caravan to the outlet, which we forgot. The site has a lovely shallow river close by and a large field for dog walkers. Very clean toilets and shower block with a well-stocked shop on site. A pub just outside the gates has an amazing full breakfast for a tenner. We will 100% be going again. Highly recommend.

We weren't sure what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised. The site was well laid out with lots of places for water and waste. The facilities were exceptionally clean and tidy. There was plenty of space for the children and the dog to run around. Would highly recommend the site and would definitely visit again.

Lovely campsite on the edge of Hartington, a lovely village with some beautiful walks and pubs. Other popular walking spots were all only 20 minutes away. The campsite was very clean and well maintained. Our first time camping was a pleasure thanks to this site. Highly recommend.

Lovely welcoming site. Parked up next to the stream which in summer, I'm sure is lovely. Weather not so good for my trip and I was underneath a tree, so sun wasn't really visible in the times I was parked up. Quiet policy between 10pm and 8am which I choose, though what sounded like racing cars zooming by at 3 am could not have been foreseen. Didn't use facilities much but they were modern and clean. Lovely wood fired pizza truck visits on a Saturday evening and they were very tasty. Great pub directly opposite campsite which is busy serving campers from the other nearby sites too from breakfast until evening meal.

Many thanks Deborah for reviewing us. Pleased to read you enjoyed your stay overall. Unfortunately, we have no control over the loony boy racers who chose to cause all the noise at 3am, racing through the village. Kind regards, Wayne and the team.

Great views. Great amenities on a well run site by friendly owners. Only downside is that if you are pitched in the events field, you are by a well used road with tractors etc very early in the mornings. Also, bit of a hike to the amenities if you're on that field.

Many thanks Michael for you review, pleased to see you had a great time. Sorry the road was noisy, it can get busy with the farmers when they are harvesting. Kind regards, Wayne & Team.

Bank House is one of my favourite campsites to date! The facilities were top tier; excellent and well stocked shops (cleaning supplies, sweet shop, toys, food, alcohol, wood), very clean and well kept toilets/showers/dish wash area. Lovely, well kept fields, and the aforementioned views were to die for. Also, the staff who were on duty (I forgot to get their names, unfortunately) were so nice and helpful! There is a very nice pub with a garden at the end of the campsite's driveway, and a pizza van on a Saturday night as well. Plus only being a stones throw away from some great little towns. The literal only downside was the hill that the site sits on gives you quite the walk to and from the top camping field and means you have to make sure you have orientated your bed and tables correctly. But other than that, absolutely no downsides! Can't wait to come back to be honest.

We stayed at this site for a long weekend with the aim of it being a base from where we could drive to enjoy walks and cycling. However, we didn't need to drive anywhere as there is a great trail nearby, which we walked twice (once taking in Ecton Hill with misty views). We cycled from site to Waterhouses on another day. We were pitched next to the river which ran through the site. Local facilities great, with lovely food at the Visitor Centre and the pub opposite. There was even a pizza trailer on site on the Saturday. Perfect. Thank you.

This site is in a great location, close to Hartington and right opposite the pub. It's green and pleasant and handy for walking too. Call me old fashioned but I still think that 40 quid a night for a patch of gravel and grass and a toilet is a bit steep.
Site's response
Hi Tony, thanks for your review. Good to see you enjoyed your stay although you found us a little pricey - it's not cheap running a big campsite like Bank House. We pay 20% VAT on the £40 so the government get £8 of that fee, then we have all the other costs involved with running a campsite like wages, water and heating bills, recycling costs, ground maintenance and fantastic facilities with underfloor heating. Hope that explains a little where costs go too. Kind regards, Wayne and the team.

Everything we needed at this campsite including a great area for walking dogs. Only downside was an intermittent unpleasant smell which I can only assume came from the river as we were parked next to it.

Last minute getaway, campsite extremely well organised and good facilities. Pitch was large and adequate for motorhome, quiet and peaceful. View was scenic across a small river (minor aspect trees could be cut to see more of gorgeous scenery). Ramps required as pitches not very level, areas maintained well.

Very good little campsite, very good toilet/shower facilities. Only downside is our fully serviced pitch was a tad smaller (if you have an awning) than were used to. Extremely good pizza van on Saturday night. Well worth it. Dog friendly, nice little pub across the road.

Many thanks for your review Martyn, glad you enjoyed the pizzas, they're delicious. Regards, Wayne & team.
Nice site and good location but one key issue

The site was in a lovely location and the fire pits were great. I fully acknowledge that we knew when we booked that the toilets were in the other field opposite ours. However, the reality is that they are a 5 to 10 minute walk, depending on your speed. You also have to walk a few minutes along the road where there is no footpath and at 3 in the morning, when all you have is a torch on you, it is less about the inconvenience but genuinely feels unsafe. Given how many campers were in that field, it really does feel like there would be a real benefit in a portacabin or some portaloos that just needs a toilet. We wouldn't stay again based on that.
Site's response
Thanks for taking the time to review us, Kirsty. A few points to reply to your concerns. The walk to the facilities is no longer than 5 minutes, even at a slow pace. When you book that field, it is made very clear that we have no facilities and you need to walk back over, unfortunately because of the peak park planning restrictions, I do not have an option to put any facilities over on the meadow. We would recommend you invest in a toilet tent if you are new to camping, as this always helps. Families love the meadow as it gives lots of space and freedom, we have never had any problems with safety. Kind regards, Wayne & team.

Really lovely campsite (if a little on the pricey side). We had a pitch by the river. We weren't allowed our awning but that was fine, as it was only a two night stay. Very clean and very quiet.

Hi Sara, thanks for your review, good to see you had a great time, you can book a riverside awning pitch next time, we have both non-awning and awning Riverside. Kind regards, Wayne.
