  • Well-maintained site with views over Castle Howard's Great Lake
  • Half an hour's walk or a five-minute drive from Castle Howard
  • Fishing and dog-walking area on site; close to a café and farm shop
Pitching up by a lake's a plus in more ways than one – as well as being an instant de-stresser, waterside surrounds can be a prime spot for fishing and, in the summer, ever-so-soothing boat trips. If you like the sound of that, hotfoot it down to Castle Howard Lakeside Holiday Park for views over Yorkshire’s poshest country estates. Fancy a stroll close to the water's edge? Go and seek out sweet and savoury goodies at the nearby café and farm shop (a mile away from the site) – the latter can rustle up a nifty breakfast or barbecue pack that you can pick up on your arrival. There is also a shop on site selling a few essentials and lots of treats. Pick up a pint of milk, a bottle of wine, meat from the Castle Howard butcher or a tasty cake on site. The site's non-watery parts are also pretty splendid – this family-friendly park has a dedicated dog-walking area where you can admire mature trees while the pups and/or youngsters let off a little steam. It's also got handy practical features like smart loos and showers and a laundry room. While there's plenty of scope for sticking to the estate during your time here, active off-site jaunts around the Howardian Hills National Landscape come highly recommended, too – the surrounding area's full of cycle paths, bridleways and hiking trails. Guests also get two-for-one entry to the Castle Howard grounds, gardens and arboretum, all within walking distance.

What customers say

This campsite offers spacious, level pitches in a beautiful, peaceful rural setting with views of Castle Howard and the lake. Facilities, including showers and toilets, are generally described as clean and well-maintained, with hairdryers provided. Staff are consistently praised for being friendly and helpful. The site is well-located for exploring the area and benefits from a 2-for-1 entry offer to Castle Howard gardens. Wi-Fi and mobile signal are limited due to the rural location. Some guests noted that the toilet block can be busy during peak times and suggested improvements to facilities.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Very quiet, good shower and toilet area, very clean and well stated when shut for cleaning .

Disliked Better signage . We came on site when it was dark , we missed the turning to get onsite it didnt stand out for us to turn in maybe a light above the sign might help.
Lights. When going to the toilet its very dark when walking to the block again maybe some small lights to show the way .

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for taking the time to write your review. We're pleased to read that the facilities were to your liking. I will pass the comments re lights to the relevant team although being in a designated 'dark skies' area means there are guidelines which have to be adhered to. Our booking confirmation does suggest guests bring a torch for this very reason. We hope to see you again.

 Damian T. 1 review

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Lovely campsite in a nice location, with plenty of walks around and a suitable distance from York. The pitches were a good size and stayed dry even with a lot of rain. Friendly atmosphere, peaceful site, with a small shop with local produce in the reception and very helpful staff. The facilities were very good and kept clean. I would definitely return.

Disliked No WiFi and mobile reception was hit and miss

From the manager: A detailed review Damian with lots of useful information. Thank you for taking the time and we are pleased you enjoyed your stay.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Myself and my family really enjoyed how much space and how accessible bathrooms and wash house was so close , the pitch was clean , pet park just behind . At night the camp sites is very quite and respectful which is really lovely .

Disliked More lights around on the touring pitches and the pet park ( especially due to the unexpected toilet trips dogs need it was worrying to take them out as couldn’t see anything ) , it was very dark walking to the bathroom at night also .
Shop very over priced for products ( over £5 for a chocolate bar )

Local attractions

Yorkshire folk are rightly proud of 'God's Own Country' – it's home to some of the finest historic houses, coast and countryside around. If you want to keep things local, head out to Kirkham Abbey (15 minutes' drive) to visit the ruins of the priory or for waterside strolls along the Derwent river. Like to be beside the seaside? Of course you do, and luckily this area has plenty of options to choose from. If you fancy venturing to Whitby's harbour and beaches, drive to Pickering (25 minutes) and hitch a ride on a steam train for a stonkingly scenic journey over the North York Moors. Bempton Cliffs Seabird Centre (an hour away) is a rather wilder beauty spot – this nature hub is home to about a quarter of a million nesting seabirds (so be sure to pack your binoculars). Art, architecture and landscaped grounds can all be rather moreish, so check out other historic houses in the area, like Nunnington Hall (20 minutes), Duncombe Park (25 minutes), Sledmere House (30 minutes) and Beningbrough Hall (40 minutes), if you fancy a change of scene on your blue-blooded escapades.
