Liked The owner Andy and his black labrador were very welcoming and helpful. It is a quiet campsite, we liked the great camping field and the wildlife. The pub in Normanby serves great food and is within walking distance. The toilet and shower is very clean and spacious.

A basic but pleasent campsite. Great value for money.
Anonymous Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Campsite was quiet, easy to find, friendly host, big pitches and flattish ground.
Toilet and shower was basic, but clean, stocked with toilet paper and shower was hot.
It is a very basic campsite, but good value and functional.
Disliked Just be mindful it's in the middle of agricultural land so paths and right of ways limited, you have to walk on the roads on foot.
Plenty of towns and pubs accessible by car.

Nice, clean and quiet campsite highly recommend.
Powered grass tent campsite
Liked We spent 5 nights here over the August bank holiday and couldn't be happier with the campsite, the owner was a true Yorkshire man and he was so pleasured and helpful. The site is about 15min drive from anywhere but that was want we wanted a nice, quiet and pieceful site and it certainly was and we really enjoyed our stay. There wasn't a problem with the toilets always stocked with toilet rolls and hand-wash and always clean. The shower is a £1 and you get 5mins. I would highly recommend this campsite for anyone wanting a quiet clean campsite the squirrels were entertaining 🤣🤣

Liked This was a lovely site and the owner was very friendly and chatty. He was always walking around checking on people and cleaning/restocking the toilets. The site was very peaceful and quite and the toilet/shower was kept clean.
Disliked Tents were all quite close together but this may have been due to the fact the other tents were large and took up more room
