Plenty of nearby attractions lakes approx 1 hour away, the owners have spent a lot of time on this site and you can tell, we will definitely be calling back to Riverside!”

Riverside has a great indoor games room & an outdoor play area which is suitable for children of all ages. As for the facilities, second too none, a credit to all concerned. ”

The village of High Bentham or Low Bentham are within a short walk of the park. Would recommend Riverside to all tourers & camper vans”

The post “A quiet and tranquil setting..” appeared first on Riverside Caravan Park.

Notice board with loads of info re local pubs and places to eat plus menus and prices most of the pubs nearby let dogs in so no need to leave ours in car or alone in van. V. Quiet and relaxing at night and wake up in the morning to the sound of ducks waddling round site looking for breakfast.

Info room with leaflets of things to do places to go and book and games / jigsaws to borrow. Ideal for younger families would be boring for older teenagers who need more in the way of onsite entertainment.”

The female staff were great, very helpful and welcoming. However, we did struggle with the male warden, who was incredibly miserable, which kind of put a slight dampener on a beautiful site.

Toilets and showers were immaculate, spotlessly clean at all times of day and night. Showers as said previously are unisex and have a 4 minute running time, which was not a problem for us, (two adults and an eight year old)

The on site shop cannot be relied on for essentials, stocked mainly camping accessories. However, there is both a co op and spar in the village. As well as numerous banks, fish shop, Indian and lots of pubs!

The games room was a welcoming shelter and entertainment provider, given the weather.

The speed bumps going into the site were too big and not having a four wheel drive we bottomed the car going out and noticed others had done the same given all the visible scrapes!

Bentham was a 10 minute walk up a slight hill from the site. Rain started as got to the top so ended up finding the nearest pub to have a meal at, which was the black bull. Got to say the decor needs upgrading and worn out cushion covers replacing. However, had a great meal-v large portions and could not fault the food at all!

There are a lot of static caravans on this site and a new development starting to accommodate more.

A great weekend was had by all, despite the weather. And we will definitely be returning!

I booked a weekend here in July but my car broke down just after we left home. I emailed them and they sent me a credit note for my deposit. Very nice of them. My Wife and I camped here for four days in early September.

It was a holiday on our own after an enjoyable but stressful ten day, large family camping holiday in France. The pitch we had was very nice. TV, Water and drainage on the pitch.

Our camper was on hard standing and the awning was on dry gravel stones. No problem with our Geordie, tough pegs. The toilet/ shower block was very good, 4. 97 star (nearly 5 star). Nice tiling, lovely and clean.

Separate, private washing areas. Tiny complaint, showers wet the whole floor including the dressing area making it difficult to keep my trousers dry when dressing, but there is a chair which was helpful. No problem if you wear shorts or skirts. The reception staff were very friendly.

The children’s play area looks very good. The first morning when I was sitting after my breakfast a duck came wadddling up and went past me into the awning. I got some bread and hand fed it. I called it Chris after Chris Waddle the footballer. He came every day after that.

The river looks very inviting for paddlers, little fish catchers and duck feeders. We went to Skipton for the day and enjoyed a cream tea beside the canals. A very nice little town. We had a nice bar meal in the Black Bull on Saturday night at Bentham, the management and staff were very polite and friendly.

The town butcher and a small cafe near him also deserve a good mention. Highly recommended.

A games room for the kids – just the job for those wet days. Shop on site, also just a 10 min walk to the village for everything you need. You can pay £2 per night and store your caravan, subject to availability, for the week and then return the following weekend. We Cannot wait to return- could not fault the site.

Will most definitely be returning to this fab site.

Also. Has a great park for the kids.

Fairly easy to get to from J34 M6 northbound. A65, then turn onto a B road – well signed Bentham. The Satnav found it easily. The road is fine for towing, but narrow in places or if there is oncoming traffic. All fine as long as you take it easy. Once in High Bentham centre, turn right (brown sign). Follow the road for about 1/2 mile and turn right as soon as you go over a river bridge. Again well signed.

Large parking area near reception. Warm welcome. Easy to find pitches and easy to drive around the park. Most of the pitches are either static or seasonal pitches. All touring pitches are well marked out and of a good size. There are a number of super pitches.

Immaculate toilet block – access gained by key fob – 10 quid refundable deposit.

Lots of nice walks from the site. Lovely small river running through the site for kids to play in (supervised of course).

High Bentham is a 10 min stroll away. A few good pubs and small shops, butchers, etc – typical Yorkshire village feel.

Reception has a small shop, but on purpose it does not stock too much, so as not to compete with the village shops nearby.

Children’s play area and indoor games area.

Highly recommended.

The site was easy to get to off the M6, nice big arrival area and lovely level hardstanding pitches. They take a £10 deposit for the shower / toilet block key but it is immaculate!

There’s a small shop on site with all your essentials but its only a short walk up to the village for bigger shops and pubs etc.

OH found the on site fishing good, with sheltered pegs. But interestingly no maggots allowed?

Looked like there was a good play area for the kids although we had no need to use it!

Lovely walks along the riverside but watch out for young livestock as they were quite frisky!

We look forward to returning soon!

All in all I was impressed with this site. Friendly staff and in a nice setting. Great play park for kids. We asked for a pitch close to the park and were accommodated.

However the only down side was another caravan was place right in front of us which prevented us from keeping an eye on the youngsters.

Its probably worth paying the extra fore the fully serviced hard standing pitches if you’d prefer not to have your space closed in a bit.

Bentham is a nice village with a co-op and bakers and a few pubs. Railway station is also close by.

Toilet block and showers are excellent with family shower rooms, ideal if you have young children. TV points worked well on the EHU pitches.

I’d certainly use the site again if I was in the north of the Yorkshire Dales.
