What customers say
This is a clean and well-maintained site with friendly and helpful staff. Guests appreciate the on-site bar, spacious pitches, and proximity to local attractions. However, some reviews highlight a lack of toilet and shower facilities, with only one of each for the touring area. Issues with waste disposal and dog walking routes were also noted. While some found the site suitable for families and dogs, others felt it was geared more towards static caravans and lacked amenities for tourers.

Disliked We have just stayed at the snooty fox in our touring caravan. So my review will be based on the touring side. The area of the snooty fox has breathtaking views of the local countryside hills. Unfortunately I have to be honest, I don't think this site is currently suitable for touring caravans, the pitches are tightly squeezed together and we feel like sardines, the neighbouring people next to us constantly parked their car right outside our awning door as she didn't have anywhere else to park it without it obstructing the road. We were so close together with other campers that we had children tripping over our awning guide ropes. We even had random children constantly come into our awning to see our dogs so had to keep the doors shut. Considering they advertise on pitch up for tourers, there are no washing up facilities and no chemical waste disposal, there is just one single womens toilet and one male toilet for the whole site. And only two large waste bins which are absolutely overflowing. The site is covered in stone/hardcore which although is a good idea it's quite noisy with the amount of cars that drive on an off the site till quite late at night and my little dog has very sensitive paws and wouldn't walk on it so I had to carry him off site just to walk him. On arrival you're given a sheet of paper with some rules, one rule is that if you have a dog, you must take the shortest route off site to walk them, for me, this was out the entrance and straight onto an incredibly busy road that isn't lit up at night, so as a young women walking her dog alone, wasn't very nice and quite scary. There isn't actually anywhere that I've seen is safe to walk your dog. With a rule like that does not scream dog friendly, that's telling me, get off the site to walk your dog haha. The children's playground is secure and my little boy had a lot of fun there but the wall climbing part needs repairing as some ropes where snapped and rocks where also missing from the wall. Can't fault the staff though, they are very friendly and helpful. This site has a lot of potential, hopefully as the site grows, they may add better facilities for people touring.

From the manager: We’re sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy your stay at The Snooty Fox.
The pitch type you booked was a fully serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch, and this is the pitch that was allocated to you.
As shown on the map, the site is located just off the A64. We are surrounded by a number of fantastic attractions and places to visit, all within a short drive. The Wolds Way walk is also accessible directly across the road from the site.
We feel that our facilities and amenities are appropriate for the number of caravans we accommodate on the park, allowing us to maintain a comfortable environment for our guests.
We’re sorry that the site did not meet your expectations, and we hope you find a campsite that is more suited to your needs and those of your children in the future. We would always recommend researching the site, its location and the surrounding area before booking to ensure it is the right fit for your requirements.

Liked Big pitches
Friendly and helpful staff
The bar was a nice option and my daughter enjoyed playing pool
No issues with using extra water in paddling pools as it was extremely hot!
Well looked after and clean facilities
Disliked Not a dislike at all but a little shop or maybe some basics in the bar because there aren't any shops close by and I always forget something.
This is the only site not to offer a pot wash area (unless I just didn't find it?) and this is always useful I think.
