I visited this site today as I was looking for somewhere close by to pitch my new tent and spend a couple of nights as a test run before we ventured further afield.
Fair enough, the toilets and showers look clean, as do the toilets. The children's playground is basic, and seemingly constantly in shade due to the large trees. The shop was minimally stocked. It did have a nice lounge area attached to the shop, though I am not sure this is for the use of casual visitors.
We spoke to the lady in reception and were told that the site did not really cater for tents - particularly big ones. I told her I only had a small 4 man tent. She then told us we could only pitch the tent near the toilets - literally a few feet from the toilet door, or in the area just over the way from the toilets. She pointed out that the grass is really not level and not suited to tents.
I was really under the impression that tents were distinctly not welcome at this site at all. The other area she had directed us to, would have meant squashing up in between the tourers. Very odd set-up, in my mind.
The site itself is covered in huge trees, as are all of the tent pitches (??)There seemed to be very little sunshine on the grass - everything was in the shade.
There were a lot of very established tourers with awnings - clearly, the majority of 'tourers' reside at the park on a long term basis, with their flat screen tvs in their awnings, full- sized furniture, and established gardens.
One tent looked as it if had been pitched there for months! It looked covered in green muck, as did many of the tourers and their awnings.
This site is apparently a 5 star, but perhaps this relates only to the 'static caravan' sections which lay beyond the (electric) gates further into the site.
I won't be going back for my trial run. The camp had an odd feel, it had no atmosphere at all, and the reception/owner/lady in charge was distinctly anti-tents. Back to the drawing board for me.

We found out about Nostell Priory park from a friend so we thought we would check it out for ourselves so we booked for 3 nights and took both dogs. On arrival we checked in with reception and were shown where to pitch our caravan and shown where the amenities were. Toilet/shower blocks both very clean and warm. This site is very quiet and peaceful. There's 2 large lakes if you like doing a spot of course fishing. There's the manor house which you can visit and there's plenty of open space to walk your dog(s). You're not far from Wakefield town or Ackworth, Hemsworth, Pontefract are all close by. We will be making a return visit soon.

We had an overnight stay here and it was lovely. The showers and loos are clean and to a high standard.
The surroundings are very peaceful and secluded, well away from roads. It is very rural and it was good to see children playing safely away from traffic on their bikes etc.
Our two dogs loved the woodland for their walks.
The motorhome pitch was level and hardstanding, with easy access and plenty of space.
We went to the Cock and Crown pub in the next village for the best value carvery ever!
This is a lovely site with a real sense of getting away from it all.

I stayed here for a week in April which turned out to be a very wet week, however the tent area which is under trees was not suited at all for pitching tents as there is no grass, so even a short shower would turn the area into a mud pit. The showers were ok but nothing really to shout about. The price is very steep and I for one will not be going back.

Situated in the grounds of Nostell priory, the site is in a peaceful location ideal for walks.
There are no pubs or shops within easy walking distance.
The site is generally well kept and very clean and dogs are welcome. There is a small play area for young children. A cafe is on site.
In my opinion the site is too expensive for what it offers. Payment is made at the time of booking.
The site has many rules. Rules are posted everywhere. It is the only site that I have ever stayed at where one has to inform reception before having a BBQ! There is a no loud noise after 10pm rule, you may see this as a positive or negative depending on your lifestyle. Personally the site was too quiet for me.
The motorhome waste water disposal point could not be used as it is situated in a busy car park, so we could not get near it
Showers are best described as adequate and I believe the area was not heated, although they were spotlessley clean and free. EHU is 6. 5 amps.
If you are staying here to go to Kinsley dog track, we were charged £7 each way in a taxi.

£27 a night for caravan 2 adults 2 children seemed a little expensive for february but thought we would give it a try. Warden in office on arrival was pleasant and told us where to pitch, from then on it went downhill. The only tarmac was the roadway around the site, everywhere else was either badly laid hardcore or mud, I know for this time of year you expect it not to be dry but our car struggled just to reverse our van on to the pitch, had to reverse over mud to get to a hardcore pitch, which was quite small, decided not to put awning up, just too muddy. There is a sign saying to leave car in the car park when weather is bad, however the car park again is just hardcore and when wet is slippery and messy, car was a complete mess inside and out, I think to stay here you definitely need a 4*4, take wellington boots. The site to me seemed to be favouring seasonal pitches, the touring area looks as if its been neglected, the site however was quiet during our stay and there were plenty of places for walking, however when you get home you'll have some cleaning to do, car and caravan.
