Liked: Lovely site, friendly staff, nice pitch, clean facilities
Disliked: Can be quite rowdy in the club on site in a Saturday night
Paying for showers that only have lights on in the 2 min time you get
Hello Molly, we think that you may have mixed up our quiet rural site with another that you have stayed at recently. We don't have a club and our showers have consant hot water and lights which are included in the pitch fee. We can see from your booking that you did spend two nights with us in July; these were a Wednesday and a Thursday evening. (Sounds like you had a good time wherever you were!)
Beautiful friendly staff and clean bathroom …

Thank you Liam; do come again if you can, there is so much to explore in this lovely area and we make a great base for travels further afield.
Beautiful site and location Too many tents crammed on in summer

Liked: We have stayed at this campsite twice before in our tent box and loved the peace and tranquility of the site.
However we have only stayed before in winter months so we were not prepared for the difference in how many tents are squashed on the site in summerDisliked: We arrived at the site at approximately 8pm after a day sightseeing in the local area.
The reception was closed
However there was a welcoming message on the door telling us just to pick a spot in the tent field.
We drove into the tent field and were absolutely shocked at how busy it was.
There was hardly any space for us to park and pitch. Tents lined the field with little space between and then two rows were down the middle.
We decided this wasnt the relaxing peaceful camping trip we had hoped for and needed after a busy working week.
We decided not to stay
Wasted our money
But found a much quieter campsite a couple of miles away on Cotril Farm in Terrington.
My ratings reflect our experience on this occasion
For the winter months camping Id give full stars
But way too many tents crammed on in summer
Id stay again in the quieter months but avoid peak times in summer
Hello Sarah, It's good to read that you have stayed at Lakeside previously and enjoyed yourselves and also that you will return. However it's a shame that you arrived in the evening and then chose not to stay. The field, as you will know from past experiences is a large field and even when we're at our limit there will still be room. Inevitably, popular sites will be busier than usual in the summer holidays so perhaps there was less choice than you were expecting? We shall look forward to seeing you again in an off-peak period.

Liked: The lovely open feel of a field. The facilities were excellent. Friendly greeting on arrival.
Disliked: Traffic noise.
Your review is appreciated. We're sory that traffic noise disturbed you on this occasion but I note happily that you would come again which is great. Thank you.
What a shame Kim. We understand that we are all different and have varied outlooks but your review is rather unfair in that you haven't really told us why you didn't like your time here. Did you take advantage of our 2-4-1 offer into the grounds of Castle Howard (saving almost as much as you paid for your one night stay), and perhaps gone to the free craft activities in the stretch tent or to Skelf Island Adventure Playground with your children? I can only suggest that you may have had completely different thoughts on your experience.
