What customers say
This quiet, well-kept site has spacious, level spots in a lovely rural setting, perfect for exploring North Yorkshire. Guests love the friendly, helpful owner and clean, simple amenities like coin showers & toilets. Basic wash-up area is uncovered with cold water. Highly recommended for peace & value; many want to return.

A peaceful and very relaxing few days away in a stunning area.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked The site is very quiet and tents are not packed in together so you have lots of space. The facilities are good. The site is within walking distance to a pub but you do have to walk along the road. The location is great for exploring the area - we went to whitby, castle howard, thirsk, Pickering - all within easy reach. The owner is lovely and so accommodating - he checked everything was ok during our stay which we appreciated. The lack of artificial light makes it a great place for stargazing and the stars are spectacular. But you do need a torch for those nighttime toilet trips!!! I would definitely stay here again.
Disliked The washing up sinks were near the bins which were swarming with wasps so we were bombarded with them as we were washing up. This could be easily sorted by relocating the bins.

Small, quiet and beautiful
Primitive grass travel trailer campsite
Liked A friendly site with Small, flat fields but lots of space. They are close enough to the beautiful village of Pickering, but also far enough away to be in peaceful and beautiful countryside. The facilities were clean and in good order.

Didn't live up to the reviews at all and was very disappointed.
Powered grass tent campsite
Liked Peaceful, out in the country. Spacious areas. Site divided into 3 fields so no crowding.
Disliked On arrival, board said to ring. We did and have to say it wasn't the friendliest of welcomes!
It said there was a pub that you could walk to. Never found a pub open and no footpaths or verges to safely walk along to get anywhere from the site.
Facilities were dire.... well on 1st day they were. Smelt of stale wee, unclean and washing up area was vile. No hot water either at sink in toilet (where shower was) or outside at washing up station. So had to boil kettle in tent to wash up!
2nd day, another set of facilities were opened as a few more campers arrived. This was better as had hot water but the hand sanitiser unit had black sludge inside and although wasn't using it, looked disgusting.

From the manager: Answering your comments in order to
Checking in requires you to call on arrival
Pub hasn’t moved still 15 walk away
Country lanes don’t have pavements/ paths
Toilets and showers are cleaned meticulously by myself several times a day , unfortunately they are only as clean as the last person who has used them.this applies to the outdoor sinks also.No hot water outside due to children standing in them (unsafe).Hot water is available in both toilet areas,(5 in total) and washing up bowls are provided to obtain this.
Hand sanitizer dispensers are topped up with sometimes a different coloured gel affecting the appearance.
A waste of a review totally unhelpful and unnecessary.
