What customers say
A quiet, tidy, and well-kept campsite with generous spots, loved for its peaceful country feel. The friendly owner gets a lot of praise. Facilities are basic but clean. Great for exploring. Some find paid showers and cold washing-up a bit of a hassle. Ideal for a chill breakaway.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Great quiet site to explore North Yorkshire will definitely be back

Didn't live up to the reviews at all and was very disappointed.
Electric grass tent pitch
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.

Liked Everything. Camp owner was obliging. Did regular checks to make sure any issues were addressed promptly
Disliked Wifi wasn't great ( 3 & EE were intermittent, O2 was good). Wouldn't normally be bothered on wifi. But needed info regarding an upcoming event.

Perfect location for a quiet peaceful stay amongst nature
Electric grass tent pitch
Liked The camp site was very tranquil and unspoilt. The owner situated us in a paddock on our own away from the few other people who were staying which was lovely and peaceful. Situated near to Malton and Pickering. Amenities as advertised and the pitches very large and had plenty of space. The camp owner was a lovely man, checked up on us and ensured we enjoyed our stay and would recommend and stay again

Very clean site however owner not very friendly
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Very clean and tidy, pitches were good, toilet not too far away
Disliked The owner was very rude at times. Constantly accusing out children and children we were with of breaking things in the toilet area when I don’t even think they had been in there. I think it should be advertised as an adult only site if you don’t want children there.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: This is a malicious,reviewnot unexpected as I had to ask you repeatedly to control your children after they had damaged the toilet facility in a very short time of arriving. If this is being rude then I am sorry for you as this must happen frequently.i am so pleased your stay was for only 1 night .Needless to say that you are not welcome here and I pity any site you frequent both for owners and guests.
Luckily most children visiting here are well behaved and are supervised by their parents. Pleased you were happy with the value, quality of accommodation,and cleanliness
Excellent site, clean, level and friendly
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Beautiful rural site, only a short drive to the likes of Pickering. Plenty of space, and relatively quiet. Site owner very friendly and helpful. A nice escape, and well priced.
Disliked Uncovered washing up facilities
Limited number of showers (but was able to still get a shower ok)
