    Fabulous caravan and camping site situated right next to the River Ure. ust a few miles up the road…read morefrom Lightwater Valley Theme park. It has a canoe shop and rental on site although the shop is not part of the site's business. There is a general shop that sells great bacon butties and the usual provisions as needed. The site is really well looked after but there seems to be a bit of a downer on canoeists from the management. I have been here many times and it is not a cheap site by any means but that is acceptable when the level of management is good. However there are now signs on the toilets that say 'no wetsuits in the toilets' so how are canoeists meant to go to the loo? If it means no washing of wetsuits in the toilet and shower area why haven't they offered an alternative. Every other campsite that I have been to where watersports are predominant provide something. You can use the river without camping here, you just pay for parking but they have stopped you being able to drive nearer to the river. So you have to drag all your equipment through the car park, over or under a barrier and some way down the campsite. Once a year there is a big canoe slalom held here which brings in lots of campers and caravanners from all over the country for the weekend and lots of them become returners during the following year. However the management seem intent on driving this out by increasing the prices dramatically and putting so many restrictions in place and being miserable with all concerned. The previous managers joined in and always seemed pleasant and helpful. However there always seem to be a good rapport between all the site users. Anyway despite all this, the site is in a beautiful spot with good roads and lots of countryside for walking in. There is a lovely walk along the river that comes out in West Tanfield which is the most picturesque place with a church and a Pele Tower next to it. It is also home to a couple of pubs that do good food and in summer there is a beer garden next to the river. There is a Dales bus service that calls into the campsite and it is a vintage vehicle. Always nice to see it but it also means you can leave your car and go for a relaxing trip without worrying about getting lost.
