Thank you for making Lakeside one of your favourite sites for a peaceful break in beautiful countryside. It's good to read that you keep coming back and that Lakeside is appreciated in lots of ways. We shall look forward to welcoming you again .

Thanks for your review, appreciation and understanding Anthony. The seasons all bring their own pleasures and disadvantages don't they? Mud can be an issue at this time of year but we do our best to keep it at bay where possible. Do come again.

Thank you for taking the time to review Lakeside Lynne. We are in a lovely location. Your comments regarding facilities are important to us and will be passed to the relevant teams.
You will appreciate that in winter the water sits in the pipes overnight so naturally it can become very cold. Our receptionists always go to check that the hot water has come through when they arrive on site however early risers will need to this for themselves.
We agree that a little sunshine can go a long way, not only in improving appearances but mood and atmosphere as well. Hopefully Spring is just around the corner! :)

What a lovely review Gary! Thank you. We hope to see you again one day.

Thank you James. It is good to know that you enjoyed Lakeside and found everything to your liking.

Lakeside takes on a different appearance and atmosphere with each change of the seasons so it is well worth returning to experience the Howardian Hills and this beautiful area in warmer weather. Thanks for your review Sharron. We shall look forward to welcoming you again.

Thank you Mike. Good to read that you liked the site and our team. North Yorkshire has many varied attractions and Lakeside is a great base from which to explore. We hope you'll come again.

We're so pleased to read that we helped to make your first experience in your camper van an enjoyable one. It's also good to know that you like our site and team. We hope you'll come back for a longer stay and to explore this lovely area a little more.

Thanks for taking the time to review Lakeside Kim. I shall pass your comments regarding the shower and lock on the disabled facility to the relevant team. We're pleased to read that you liked the site and the views on the side of the lake. The beautiful rolling countryside and the fact we are in a dip does affect our connectivity but we do state in our FAQ's that there is no wi-fi. Free wi-fi is available at Castle Howard if needed. We hope to see you again.

Thanks for your review and observations. It's good to know that you enjoyed our lovely location. It is true that the weather constantly takes it's toll on the ground at all campsites; it can be too wet, too hard and too dry so naturally grass areas in particular are affected in many different ways. Our grounds team do their best to keep the site as tidy as possible but, as you have noted, at certain times of the year all sites experience wear.

With regards to the spacing, your comments will be passed to the relevant teams - although in the hardstanding areas the grass between pitches is the firebreak and not intended for use. When the ground is firm the grass can be driven over without concern and the grass is usually more pleasing to the eye than gravel.
