Good clean site with facilities and Friendly owner
Electric grass tent pitch
Liked Friendly owner & two Labrador dogs.
Large pitches, excellent for family tents.
Long drive so the campsite is fairly quiet and away from the traffic noise.
Two (pay as you use £1) showers available and separate toilets, kept clean and always have toilet paper available.
Fairly centrally located with Scarborough about 35 minutes away.
WiFi available for the children.
Disliked Don't use sat nav or Google maps to find the campsite as it takes you down some small lanes unsuitable for larger vehicles. Best to drive to Pickering follow A170 and look for a turn on the left for Normanby and the campsite is on the left after you drive through the village.
