First time visiting camp Katur (Orion) and we would go back again in a heart beat. The geo dome was spotless, lovely little set up for a family of 3, didn’t feel like we were on top of each other at all. Masses of wood land to explore, the outdoor gym was a hit with our 10 year old. Great location for going out and visiting the local area. We did 2 long walks, one from Masham and the other up to druids temple. The communal kitchen area was also a great asset, however we did only use it for washing up, but other families were using it for cooking and being able to sit inside was a bonus, especially when it was raining one evening. 
We did not experience any negative aspects and it was one of our favourite “staycations” we’ve been on. 
The log fire was used each night and was welcomed, heated the dome throughout. The whole area has many different styles of glamping available, but due to the size of the site we felt relaxed and comfortable with lots of our own space. In fact one night we didn’t even see a single person, was soo chilled. Would definitely recommend.

Best “staycation” we’ve had.

We stayed in the Bellatrix geodome, and despite apprehensions at our first time glamping, we absolutely loved it.  The dome was very spacious and had a seating area, dining area and good kitchen.  The bathroom was well equipped with a proper toilet, basin and shower.  The deck area was huge and had excellent seating and an amazing hot tub.  The only down side was the double bed on the mezanine which had to be reached by a vertical metal ladder and not suitable for anyone with a slight disability.  Luckily the bed on the ground floor was a king size that my daughter and I ended up sharing.  Instructions on where to find the kindling and matches on the site and how to light the wood burner would also have been helpful!  Despite minor problems, we would definitely use this accommodation again.  The website description is quite vague and more photos and extensive description would really help people deciding on whether to book.

Exceeded our expectations

I stayed in the Hobbit Hide for 2 nights with my 7 and 8 year old boys and had a fantastic time. I was slightly worried that the accommodation would be very small, but I was pleasently surprised. It had enough room for all of our stuff (and you can store things under the main bed too) and the beds were spacious for the 3 of us. 

We checked in on a Wednesday at 3pm and out on a Friday at 10am. The check in staff were super helpful with directions and where we needed to park etc. I really liked how the staff left you too it throughout your stay.

Most of the site is car free, which is brilliant so you need to use wheelbarrows to get your things to your accommodation which was great fun for the boys. 

I had planned on going on a day trip out on the Thursday but didn't need to in the end as the site had plenty to explore and kept the boys entertained. They enjoyed the swing park, adventure playground (the zip line was a big hit!), outside gym and exploring the woodlands and finding the plane. We also saw frogs, bats, rabbits, ducks and pea hens. The stars were out in all their glory on our last night, which was spectacular. 

The communal facilities were great and clean. We didn't need to use the communal kitchen, other than to wash up, but it had items that you could borrow if you needed too. The log store had plenty of logs, which was great for making the most of the fire pit on a night time to toast marshmallows. We also made use of the communal pizza oven on out first night. I was on a budget, so took our own pizza dough and toppings and thankfully they came out great and the boys enjoyed making and cooking their own pizzas.

I would really recommend Camp Katur and would go back. It was a lovely couple of nights away making memories.

Awesome adventure 

We stayed for 2 nights in Lepus - family of three. Fantastic experience. Hot tub was wood fired - took about 3 hours to heat with logs on burner but stayed warm the next day too - little top up on second day with a log or two but easier than I thought. Bag of logs provided with matches, fire lighters and kindling in a little bag. GeoDome was spacious - kept curtains closed during the day due to the heat and you can close the roof windows with magnetic coverings also east to do. Pull out sofa bed was decent and extra pillow and bedding in a box behind toilet. Toilet and shower were modern and clean. Decking had the most comfortable wooden seats around a fire pit which we used the logs supplied for the hot tub to get that going. Views are fantastic and the pods well spaced out. Communal kitchen better than we thought - two ovens, kettle, toasters and loads of pans and cutlery to take back to the pod to use. The site is fantastic to explore - we walked to the outdoor gym which is really an obstacle course the little ones can manage. We also headed to the adventure park which has castles, swings and kids play huts to explore. The swing park is also great for the little ones but you might miss it - it’s tucked away near the entrance to the pods. We thought the on-site pub at reception served food but it doesn’t so we ventured five minutes to the Fox and Hound pub which was very friendly and served very good food. Bedale is 10 mins away and does takeaways and restaurants too. BBQ was gas and bottle provided so we had bbq tea first night. It was clean and had utensils under the bbq. The fridge in the pod was a small cube fridge but had enough space for our 2 day visit and even a little freezer to store our freezer bricks for the cool box. We would go back in a heartbeat and explore other plots on the site. For our 5 year old is was a fantastic adventure and the on-site parks and obstacle courses kept her busy especially when making holiday friends - adds to the experiencef.

Fantastic Experience - Lepus Geo Dome

Me & my other half had the most amazing two nights away for my birthday 🥰 we stayed in the Aurora Geodome which is the end one on Hill Farm furthest away from the car park & we couldn’t be happier with the location! It was so secluded, peaceful & simply magical. The staff are the nicest people ever & made us feel so welcome! The pizza kits/oven were a nice touch & we loved exploring the grounds & playing on the swings/zip wire (yes we were like two kids!). Can’t wait to come back again, next time with the kids as they will love it too!

The absolute best!

We stayed 3 nights for the Easter weekend. A lovely welcome at reception on arrival. Instructions clear and everything ready and clean at the Geodome.
The Geodome was a good size for 2 adults and a 5 year old, together with the out door area (which had seating, bbq, fire pit, bath, etc). Everything was very nice and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We didn’t have a chance to try the outdoor bath. Maybe next time!
The site was quiet and we slept well. 
The childrens outdoor play area was brilliant.
We will definitely visit again.

Geodome - lovely experience

I booked to come to Camp Katur’s stargazing experience including two nights in their new geodomes for a surprise for my partners birthday. Wow. It was utterly beautiful and incredible. The staff went above and beyond from the second we arrived until the second we left (even posting our house keys out to us that we had left 🤦🏻‍♀️)  It’s an incredibly romantic setting and I felt so comfortable and relaxed there. The geodomes are stunning with the added bonus of your own en suite. A gorgeous view to lounge from your bed and see. 
The area provides lovely walks and wonderful views. We hope to be back soon enough!

Beautiful

A guest at a fantastic wedding weekend on the Meadow….idyllic spot to host a magical ceremony in the woodland chapel and reception in tipis. All the team were willing and eager to help…special mentions for Colette at reception, the two lady wardens and Jan, the wedding planner. Glamping accommodation was quirky and fun, loved the log burner and ample supply of tea lights.

Magical wedding weekend

I booked an impromptu two night stay at Camp Katur this August for my husband, myself and our small dog. 

Firstly the weather was brilliant and hot and I think that made a huge difference. Being a usual non camper, I’m
Not sure my experience would have been the same if it had rained for two days!

We checked in at 1500 and were given a goody bag of dog treats and clearly explained how we could get additional wood, freezer blocks for our cooler etc from the hay barn store if needed. 

We stayed in hobbit pod 2 in the forest. There are three of these pods and one called Romeo and Juliet. Ours had the best aspect/ outlook and sun coverage. 

The hobbit pod had bunk beds. From the website I mistakenly thought that it had a futon double bed and this is misleading . I did call camp Katur in advance of our stay and the receptionist explained that they did have some issues with the website which needed changing. 

From that phone call I also found out that sheets and bedding were an additional charge and so I was able to ensure that we took our own. 

We also took our own wood and fire lighters but as we were located in the forest we didn’t actually need to break into our wood stock and instead foraged for sticks etc to burn in the fire pit. 

We also took our own small portable camping stove with us which was useful and made good use of the brick bbq directly outside of the pod. 

The toilet block was clean and close to the communal kitchen where we washed up each day. The kitchen was well stocked so don’t worry about bringing cutlery, plates, glasses etc as you can borrow them from the kitchen. 

The walks around the site were fabulous. It wasn’t very busy during our stay so it felt like we had the site pretty much to ourself. Our little dog was off lead all the time and had a great time. 

In all, we had a really lovely stay here and do plan on returning. In short I think if you go prepared you will have a more comfortable stay than if you just rock up and expect a luxury hotel like experience. In essence this is camping unless you choose to stay in a lodge or one of the souped up geodomes.

Lovely stay in the forest - highly recommend!

Stayed here with a group of friends to celebrate a 50th birthday, bizarre experience, we had the 300 acre site to ourselves for 3 of the 4 days we were there.
Lovely site and very peaceful, made the most of the hot tub and bbq.
We got to wander the site and checkout all the different types of dwelllings, was eerie being in such a remote, large and quite environment, felt like we were the last survivors of an apocalypse.
