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.

Jon B.

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.

A very nice place, worth recommending…

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: Thank you for all your positive comments about Lakeside and Castle Howard Agnieszka. We're glad you enjoyed your stay.

Liked Fantastic place to stay loved the long walks

Disliked Unfortunately my pitch was under tree cover so in the shade all day

Recommend to friends Visit again

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.

From the manager: Thank you Heather. It's refreshing to hear that being 'back to basics' (away from technology) was a hit with your grandchildren. We hope to see you all again.

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.
