Réponse du gestionnaire : Sorry that you did not have a good experience at Swallowtails. Most of our guests comment on how peaceful the campsite is in their reviews. However, as we have a play area and it was the school holidays when you stayed, it is to be expected that you will hear children playing. I seem to remember that we let you move to a jumbo at a significantly discounted pitch fee in order for you to move further away from the play area, but, after being moved, you still found it necessary to swear at other campers who were happily playing with a group of under 5 year olds which was not acceptable behaviour at Swallowtails.
As we are a small campsite, we never have anyone queuing for the washing up area to our knowledge, either. It feels as though you are picking holes in the campsite because you were told that your attitude to other campers was not acceptable as a result of other campers complaining about your you and also about your TV being too loud.
It seems that Swallowtails is not the campsite for you and perhaps you would be better off booking at an adults only campsite or booking outside of school holidays.

A aimé Pitch size and location good facilities

A aimé It is a very charming camping Site. A good place to start hiking around Pickering (inclusive an interesting geological place below Pickering Castle) or going by historical steam train to Goathland. Very nice pubs and shops in walking/ cycling distance. It was the perfect mix for our Holiday. The staff is very nice and helpful.

A aimé It was simply gorgeous. I stayed with my son and nephew and we loved it. The staff were incredibly helpful. I had forgotten my tent pegs too, but the staff were armed and ready with spares! The site had many games to keep the kids entertained and the facilities were really good! The site was very clean and Marianne was really friendly and helpful! We would definitely recommend and will be back. I'm not sure if there is any WIFI, but I didn't ask.

N'a pas aimé There was nothing to dislike.

A aimé Fijne kleine camping, schoon, warme douches. Locatie top! Superleuk dorp met alles wat je maar nodig hebt voor een fijne vakantie op loopafstand. Aardige eigenaren. Mooie omgeving. We waren nog lang niet uitgekeken.

N'a pas aimé Een wasmachine voor vieze kleding was een fijne extra geweest.
