Fine for caravans or motorhomes, but not recommended for campervans.08/18/2025

    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 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.

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

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

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.

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.
