Liked The site is very quiet and tents are not packed in together so you have lots of space. The facilities are good. The site is within walking distance to a pub but you do have to walk along the road. The location is great for exploring the area - we went to whitby, castle howard, thirsk, Pickering - all within easy reach. The owner is lovely and so accommodating - he checked everything was ok during our stay which we appreciated. The lack of artificial light makes it a great place for stargazing and the stars are spectacular. But you do need a torch for those nighttime toilet trips!!! I would definitely stay here again.

Disliked The washing up sinks were near the bins which were swarming with wasps so we were bombarded with them as we were washing up. This could be easily sorted by relocating the bins.

Liked Nice little quiet site well kept showers and toilets whilst basic are clean and adequate for what is needed.
There is a local pub about 20mins walk from the site.
Nice location for access to Pickering, Helmsley within easy reach
Owner very helpful when asking for local attractions
WI-FI available but we never used so can not comment on this

Disliked Would have liked hot water for wash up sinks but not a real problem

Liked Location and peaceful

Recommend to friends Visit again

Liked Peaceful, out in the country. Spacious areas. Site divided into 3 fields so no crowding.

Disliked On arrival, board said to ring. We did and have to say it wasn't the friendliest of welcomes!
It said there was a pub that you could walk to. Never found a pub open and no footpaths or verges to safely walk along to get anywhere from the site.
Facilities were dire.... well on 1st day they were. Smelt of stale wee, unclean and washing up area was vile. No hot water either at sink in toilet (where shower was) or outside at washing up station. So had to boil kettle in tent to wash up!
2nd day, another set of facilities were opened as a few more campers arrived. This was better as had hot water but the hand sanitiser unit had black sludge inside and although wasn't using it, looked disgusting.

From the manager: Answering your comments in order to
Checking in requires you to call on arrival
Pub hasn’t moved still 15 walk away
Country lanes don’t have pavements/ paths
Toilets and showers are cleaned meticulously by myself several times a day , unfortunately they are only as clean as the last person who has used them.this applies to the outdoor sinks also.No hot water outside due to children standing in them (unsafe).Hot water is available in both toilet areas,(5 in total) and washing up bowls are provided to obtain this.
Hand sanitizer dispensers are topped up with sometimes a different coloured gel affecting the appearance.
A waste of a review totally unhelpful and unnecessary.
Check reviews of happy campers who stayed on site at the same time.

Liked Everything about the site is great, owner on site for any problems, fire pits were great too 🔥

Disliked Internet signal wasnt great as needed it for work

Recommend to friends Visit again

Liked Everything. Camp owner was obliging. Did regular checks to make sure any issues were addressed promptly

Disliked Wifi wasn't great ( 3 & EE were intermittent, O2 was good). Wouldn't normally be bothered on wifi. But needed info regarding an upcoming event.

Liked The camp site was very tranquil and unspoilt. The owner situated us in a paddock on our own away from the few other people who were staying which was lovely and peaceful. Situated near to Malton and Pickering. Amenities as advertised and the pitches very large and had plenty of space. The camp owner was a lovely man, checked up on us and ensured we enjoyed our stay and would recommend and stay again

Liked Very clean and tidy, pitches were good, toilet not too far away

Disliked The owner was very rude at times. Constantly accusing out children and children we were with of breaking things in the toilet area when I don’t even think they had been in there. I think it should be advertised as an adult only site if you don’t want children there.

From the manager: This is a malicious,reviewnot unexpected as I had to ask you repeatedly to control your children after they had damaged the toilet facility in a very short time of arriving. If this is being rude then I am sorry for you as this must happen frequently.i am so pleased your stay was for only 1 night .Needless to say that you are not welcome here and I pity any site you frequent both for owners and guests.
Luckily most children visiting here are well behaved and are supervised by their parents. Pleased you were happy with the value, quality of accommodation,and cleanliness

Liked Beautiful rural site, only a short drive to the likes of Pickering. Plenty of space, and relatively quiet. Site owner very friendly and helpful. A nice escape, and well priced.

Disliked Uncovered washing up facilities
Limited number of showers (but was able to still get a shower ok)
