At Masons we have a wide range of facilities to enhance the comfort of your stay.
Facilities
24/7 Hot Water Access
Our facilities block is open around the clock, with hot water available for showers and washing up. Additionally, our facilities have underfloor heating to keep your feet warm on cooler camping days. We understand the importance of accessibility and convenience, and thus we have a separate disabled bathroom that is fully accessible by wheelchairs, complete with a baby changing station.
Waste Disposal and Recycling
We have conveniently located waste disposal, refuse, and recycling facilities in the facilities area. We encourage all our guests to recycle and provide white buckets to help separate refuse. We also have recycling bins for paper, cans, glass, and plastic, which makes it easier for our guests to recycle.
Drying Room with Coin-Operated Washer and Dryer
We understand that camping can get messy, and thus we have a drying room with a coin-operated washer and dryer. The washing machine costs £4 for a cycle, and the dryer is £1 for 20 minutes. We usually have change on site, and we sell washing detergent in our shop.
Communal Freezer
We have a communal freezer located just to the side of the office, where guests can store or refreeze their ice packs. We take pride in maintaining the highest possible standards, and we ask our guests to inform a member of the team if they notice anything not up to their standards so that we can rectify the situation straight away.
Additional Information
Our facilities are included in the pitch price, and there are no additional costs for the showers. The ladies’ facilities block also has a hairdryer and GHDs available for use at an additional cost of 20p.
Grey water and chemical waste disposal is located at the back of the facilities block (River Field side), and we can only accommodate chemical waste disposal from cassettes.
We strive to be as green as possible, and we encourage our guests to do the same by recycling and using our facilities responsibly.
Masons Wifi
Network: MasonsCampsite
Password: appletreewick
Operating within the National Park can mean that our WiFi is somewhat intermittent but when working it can be best accessed in our communal courtyard.
Masons Shop
The shop and reception are housed in our unique 1983 Squarestream which we shipped in from the US in 2018.
We sell a small selection of food and many camping essentials including amazing bacon and sausages from Jackson’s Farm shop in Cracoe (we have yet to find better anywhere!). We also sell, milk, eggs, butter, sweets and pocket money toys for the kids.
Boules & Skittles
After moving the airstream office from the communal Court Yard to the Main Field we decided to use to the space to create a twinkling boules court for your enjoyment.
There are plastic skittles and boules located in the box for your convenience. If you would like to play with proper French boules please see the office. We require a £10 cash deposit but there is no hire charge and this will returned to you once the boules are checked back in.
This is a lovely family activity that everyone can enjoy. We found our inspiration on our own family camping holiday in the South of France.
Item Hire
We have a number of electric cables, extension leads and camping beds for hire in case you forget your own. We take a £30 security deposit and item hire is £10 for one night, £2.50 per night thereafter. Please contact the office who will be happy to help.
Fishing
There is fly fishing available on the banks of the River at the bottom of the campsite. You will need a fishing permit which lasts for one day and costs £5. These can be obtained from the office. Live bait fishing is not permitted. Members of the BCAA can park at the site and fish at a cost of £3.50 but we will need sight of their licence.
Parking
You can park at Masons at a cost of £10 per day.
Overnight parking costs £10 for one night.
The ANPR barrier system will not allow cars to enter or leave the site without the vehicle having been booked on and paid for. Please contact the office for parking.
Fire Pit Hire
We do not allow campers to bring their own fire pits to Masons.
We take the safety of our campers and the protection of the National Park very seriously. All of our rules and regulations have been put in place to make sure that fire risk is limited and that our campers do not cause damage to the land or the homes of the wildlife that we are pirivileged to live alongside. What looks like great fire material to you could very easily be a hedgehog’s home. For this reason, it is strictly forbidden to forage for wood. Only our sustainably sourced wood is allowed to be used and additional bags can be purchased from the shop at £8 per bag.
As avid campers, we know sitting around a campfire with your friends and family can be one of life’s greatest moments. For that reason we have a limited number of fire pits available to hire that have been designed to sit at a sensible height above the ground. We understand it can be disappointing if there is no fire pits left on arrival but we have the maximum number of fires that can be safely managed. To try and minimise disappointment group are limited to one fire pit per group.
We take a £10 held security deposit on your card for the hire of the fire pit which is released back to you once the fire pit is returned clean and the hot ashes in the hot ash bins in the designated fire pit area next to the office.
