What customers say
This well-maintained campsite is praised for its beautiful setting next to the lake and its proximity to Castle Howard. Visitors highlight the friendly and helpful staff, clean facilities including showers and toilets, and spacious pitches. The peaceful atmosphere is appreciated, particularly during quieter periods. Some guests noted that during busy times, facilities can become crowded, and there are occasional issues with noise from wildlife or other campers. Limited phone signal and the absence of an on-site shop are also mentioned. Despite minor drawbacks, many reviewers expressed a desire to return.

Fine for caravans or motorhomes, but not recommended for campervans.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Closeness of wash block. Mature trees.
Disliked Characterless. Nowhere near any pubs, shops or services. No access to Castle Howard estate. Lakeside limited. Had corner pitch, so fine to sit out on evening, but some caravans playing music all day and generally an unhappy place. Not a pretty or family friendly site

From the manager: Hello John, I have to admit to being confused by your first comment. Hardstanding pitches and the camping field are both suitable for campervans. We are a peaceful, rural site in natural countryside in the beautiful Howardian Hills next to a lovely lake. I appreciate that our site may not have been as you were expecting but there are pubs less than 3 miles away, (one is walkable off road) ; the market town of Malton with restaurants, bars and shops is only 5 miles. Your stay included a 2 for 1 entry offer into the grounds of Castle Howard which, with free parking and the Courtyard outlets, is only 1 mile away.The allocated pitch you were given is usually one that is requested by those wanting a quiet corner. Perhaps you would have been happier with the campers in the field who on the weekend of your stay, reading Heather G's and Agnieszka's reviews, found us a very friendly, family site. Individual opinions vary but we appreciate you taking the time to write your review.Thank you.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked A very nice place, worth recommending to any family with children. Toilets and showers are available, and hot running water is available at all times of the day. It's a great area for walks. And a highlight is Castle Howard, a 4-minute drive away. With its magnificent gardens and a fantastic playground for children, you can spend a wonderful day at a low price.

From the manager: Thanks for your reveiw; we agree- the beautiful Howardian Hills are perfect for walks which are not too strenuous. If you do come to Lakeside again and would prefer a different pitch to the one you are allocated please ask in reception and, when possible, our team will do their best to arrange this for you.
