This is a peaceful, spacious campsite with friendly and accommodating owners, particularly Val. Guests enjoyed the natural surroundings and proximity to local villages.

Friendly staff, lovely location not far from attractions.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Showers were very clean, the owner of the land was really helpful, lent us a washbowl when needed, recommended beautiful local walks and provided us a lovely barbecue. The sheep next to the site were so cute and friendly and the location was perfect. Easingwold is a bus ride away (the 40) so even without a car we were able to get around and see the nature and parks.
