User Review
( votes)Broadlands Farm Caravan Site is located a couple of miles south of Wakefield, just a few minutes from junction 39 of the M1 motorway. I usually stay on larger commercial type sites, but stumbled across Broadlands Farm Caravan Site quite by chance, and a good “find” it proved to be. The site offers all the mod cons yet at competitive prices.
The Kon-tiki is seen from above at Broadlands Farm Caravan Site
Pitches at Broadlands Farm Caravan Site are of a generous size and easily accommodated the near nine metre Kontiki. There is plenty of space for an awning or for caravanners, space also for the tow car. Most pitches are pretty level and if chocks/levelling ramps are required, then this is only to cover a very slight slope – nothing to worry about at all.
Facilities at Broadlands Farm Caravan Site

The shower and toilet facilities are kept immaculately clean. Over the years, I have stayed on many campsites, both UK and overseas, but Broadlands Farm Caravan Site is one of only two that I have visited that has…..wait for it…..music in the loo! It’s a lovely touch that reminded me so much of Camping Tiber in Rome! There is also a chemical disposal point on site and fresh water taps within easy reach. Washing machines and tumble dryers are also available for campers’ use.
For those exploring further afield, the bus stops adjacent to the site entrance offer services to Leeds, Wakefield & Barnsley, whilst within a few minutes walk, you will find buses to Holmfirth, home of Compo and Cleggy in “Last of the Summer Wine”. Meadowhall shopping centre is about 25 minutes away. For the energetic, Pugneys Country Park is close by and offers various facilities for the sporting types.An ASDA supermarket is within easy reach – maybe a ten to fifteen minute stroll or a very short drive.

Looks a good site, will add to my list of must visit.
Looked a great place for a stopover on a long haul oop north or darn sarf. Went to book it only to eventually work out that you can’t stay for one night.
