 We visited Easter weekend and found the site organised and the staff very helpful.
The ground was soft and we immediately got stuck in our original pitch we flagged down a member of staff who pulled us out and found us a hardstanding. Make sure that you take levelling blocks as the pitches were very sloped.
The showers were fairly powerful and warm but the building was a bit chilly, toilets and showers were very clean.
Freshwater taps/wastewater points were plentiful and the forest walks were amazing - our dog has slept for pretty much 2 days since we returned she had such a good time.
The site shop is has a very small selection so make sure you take most of your food although there is a Londis about 10 mins down the road towards Pickering. There is a big co-op in Pickering but the traffic was horrible (I don't know if this is in general or just because it was bank hol weekend). The car park outside the co-op was very busy but there is another car park about 5 mins walk away which was quiet and our motorhome was parked easily (turn right at the lights then first left).
The site had a very safe feel to it and my daughter made lots of friends on the park.
If you are camping without ehu bear in mind that this is a large site with only one toilet block and some of the pitches are quite a long way from the block, others are very close so if this is important to you (ie if you have small children) you may want to mention this when you book.
It is advertised as being very dog friendly and as a result of this I would say that most people had dogs but I didn't notice and noise overnight and there were only bits of barking during the day so don't let this put you off. I would love to return and only wish that it was nearer for us.

What a wonderful site this is! Our first camping trip so we weren't sure what to expect. We found a shaded slightly sloping spot but not where we were originally placed as we forgot the hook up. The staff were very friendly when booking over the phone and when we arrived. The showers blocks , toilets and wash up facilities were spotlessly clean. The site was well kept and the grass was cut having fairly flat spots for tents and shade porvided by the trees. The guided walks around the forest were usueful and you can judge how energetic you feel and how far you wish to walk. Pickering is a gorgeous town and we are hoping to stay at the site next year

A very quiet site with basic facilities but always clean, even when the site was full at the weekend. Lovely woodland walks from the site and easy distance from lots of local attractions.
Shop stocks most of the basics and more but has limited opening hours.
A recommended site; we would definitely use it again!

Wonderful site, located close to Pickering. There is a lovely drive through to the trees to the campsite. When we arrived the staff were very friendly and helpful. There are a number of walks available directly from the campsite, excellent for us with our 2 dogs. Showers and toilets were always kept immaculate and there was plenty of hot water, although just check how long the shower lasts for before you get in it – some go for about 20 seconds, but the first one I got in literally went off as soon as you pressed it!
Nearby Pickering is a lovely little town with pretty much everything you could need! There is a butcher, plenty of bakers, greengrocers, an outdoor store, TIC and a fair sized Co Op. We also would recommend a pizza from Chico’s Pizzeria in Pickering, we got 2 on our last night and it was lovely! Overall, a brilliant site with very friendly, helpful staff. An open plan ‘pitch where you like’ style camping field but this didn’t pose any problems.
Would definitely visit again, Forest Holidays always offer excellent sites.

Just had a long weekend at this site and was very impressed with the location. It was great for cycling and walking through the forest which surrounds the site. The only gripe (all be it a small one) is that all the water taps are push operated, which makes having a shower an entertaining event to say the least. (Have to hold in button with one hand and wash with other) Also approach road through Cropton VERY tight. This said I will be back for a longer stay next time. A++++++

I've been to this site several times over the years and it is a beautiful location. Lots of birds, usually peace and quiet (no traffic noise at all) and, if you get a clear night, lots of stars too. Great for walking or cycling, the facilities are clean and the wardens friendly.
My recent visit (after a gap of two years) did give rise to two criticisms, however. There was no late night tour of the campsite by a warden, which meant a nearby group of schoolboys (with teachers!) were very loud until after 11pm and the temporary peace was then shattered by a noisy drunken discussion from elsewhere on the campsite into the early hours. Secondly, it is now more of a caravan site. There are two fields for camping, but there are also many more for caravans.

Absolutely brilliant. Lovely location with super walks. Facilities could not be faulted - very clean. We only live in Scarborough and this was our first time camping, so it was a total success. Will certainly go back. Everybody was very helpful and it was great.

This was our first ever trip out. Very nice and friendly site. Our pitch was a little soggy but dried out rapidly. Nice walking and site is quiet in the evening despite it being Easter. Clean shower block. Adequate supplies at the shop. Children's play area was also very nice. My only criticism was the lack of advice for pitching up, it was a bit of a free for all and I was unsure where to pull up. This is probably normal but I found it a little weird with vans facing in all directions.

Had an excellent time over the easter period, very well planed out walks. The site was a little uneven but not to bad. Very peaceful site with lots of different wildlife visiting. Excellent for dogs due to the forest, however, it did lack in having no dog bins. Will definitely be visiting again.

Just been for the Easter weekend and found it an excellent site, plenty of walks and plenty for the kids to do, there seemed to be quite a lot of kids on the site but it was still very peaceful.
The only fault we found there was no bins for dog dirt. Booked up for next bank holiday.

Beautiful location, very clean facilities, Good walks etc. Nice and quiet with a mix of tents and caravans. The only problem we had was the staff didn't leave clear information on where to pitch your tent on arrival. (because the office was closed) We pitch our tent in a nice spot, but when we went to pay we didn't get a happy smile welcome. (the staff need to cheer up and smile) this was out first every camping trip. also the ground isn't that level, but over all we had a good time.

This is a lovely site in the middle of the forest. It is lovely and clean, the toilets and showers are very good, nice children's play area and there are different colour coded walks. Our only real criticism is that although the shop is well stocked, it only opened for a short time in the morning and the evening, and we could do to have it open all day really. Yes, the mosquitoes do bite at night and it is for that reason alone that we will not be going again as my partner got so bitten. If you can stand the bugs, it is well worth a visit.

We stayed here for 10 days and would def recommend. It is in the middle of a huge forest with bike trails and walks. It is a small site so not busy and with a great play area for children. The toilets and showers were very clean and the shop actually stopped things you could cook a meal with plus the usual basics. The staff were more than helpful and we thought it was a great plus that the barrier was down at 11pm so noone could come back late, if you do you have to walk from the barrier, so very much geared to families.
Theres lots in the area to do Whitby isnt far away, the North Yorks railway, various museums, and York snt too far either.

We stayed here for a weekend with friends who had been before, it was our first camping trip. The facilities are great, showers and loos very clean and washing up facilities good. The staff were helpful, one pointing out that they had a baby bath in the launderette as I was trying to wash a baby on a bench in the ladies! Our 4 year old loved the playground and the site is beautiful. It was a peaceful place. Only thing as others mentioned, are the midges. Cover up at night and take repellent, if we go again we will also take citronella candles.
