Electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Nice quite countryside location. Not too far to plenty of pubs & shops by a short drive. Wash facilities are basic. And should it rain be prepared to wash outside as it’s not undercover. Showers & toilets are basic but perfectly adequate. There is a small fee to pay for shower but it’s worth it. £1 gets you 5 mins. If you want less time it’s just 20p a minute. Site owner was very helpful & always around if needed.

Electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Nice quiet campsite. With open space for the kids to play without disturbing anyone. Owner met us at the entrance and guided us to our pitch are, pitches aren't solidly defined, we were advised which area get full sun partial shade etc. Areas to avoid with the car (soft verges on the road) he even popped back to check we were set up ok. Facilities were basic but clean enough (£1 for 5 min shower) outdoor dish cleaning area.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: We loved our stay here. Andy was very welcoming and went out of his way to ensure we were happy with our stay. We were able to pitch where we liked, and there a few smaller paddocks to choose from, so it doesn’t feel overcrowded. We chose to overlook the field of sheep! It was a joy to be in such a quiet location, surrounded by wildlife and with dark, starry skies at night. We were well placed to explore the local area, with Kirbymoorside, Pickering and Helmsley all a short distance away. The toilets and shower were kept very clean, and there were washing up facilities too. We really enjoyed our time at Hobground, it’s the perfect place to relax and unwind. It’s gone to our number one spot and we didn’t want to leave! Thank you for everything Andy, we will definitely be back!
Disliked: Nothing to dislike!

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Very friendly host whowas onky a text away for anything you need such as spare fire wood and fire pits. Plenty of toilets close by. Well kept fields, flat with no boggy parts. Ideal location for visiting pickering, Malton, flamingo land and Scarborough.
Disliked: No village close enough to safely walk too. Road leading from the main road to the camp could do with leveling however it did look like this was going to be done shortly as the materials where visible. Didn't effect our stay at all.
