 Fantastic facilities, great views, experience needed if winds forecast.

CYCLISTS

The approach from the A64 is difficult when loaded. The surface varies from reasonable tarmac to slag and gravel, with inclines of upto 1 in 8. The site shop stocks enough for an evening meal along with good selection of local bottled beers and table wine, but NOT bread or crackers. There is a microwave oven available at no extra charge in the camp kitchen. But forget pitching and going back into town to the shop unless you are seriously fit.

There is an alternative access from the South which cuts out most of the climb upto the campsite. The campsite said would be OK for cyclists to use this track but not suitable for vehicles. OS Landranger 1:50000 101, SE 911744 Take the drive to East Farm and continue on track towards West Farm, campsite is on the left of the track.

 We visited this site for 1 night to suss out whether it would be suitable for my 4year old son and were not disappointed. The owners were really friendly and helpful. It was worth more than the £12 per night fee. It was a great site with amazing toilet and bathroom facilites. Food storage and washing up room were also provided free of charge - there's even a tv if you want to keep up with the world! I would recommend this site to everyone especially those new to camping and those with kids. There is a nice wooden play park for the kids and lovely walks really close by. We will definitely be returning.

 What a gem of a site - just back from a wonderful week at Wolds Way and definitely intend to return.

Excellent large pitches, plenty of space for everyone. Facilities are top of the range, the 3 unisex showers/toilets are superb (one even containing a corner bath as well). The showers and toilets in the ladies/gents were also very good and kept cleaned to a high standard. There was also a room in the 'ladies' at the end of the corridor with a full size bath!

Derek and Carol the owners couldn't have been more helpful, nothing was too much trouble and they were mines of information about the local area.

Small but well stocked shop, which was useful as because the site is about a mile or so from the main road you need to take the car really to get anywhere (unless you are very fond of walking of course).

Washing up sinks and kitchen, completely under cover which was great and free use of microwaves (which we took advantage of)and fridge/freezer which we didn't need as we had taken the option of having a very reasonably priced EHU.

Good fish and chip shop in nearby Rillington and a large, well stocked Morriosns in Malton about 6 miles away.

Very well placed site for both York and the coastal resorts and lots and lots to do locally.

If you do go to York we can heartedly recommend using the Monks Cross Park & Ride and if you are going to be there for several days get a 3 day York Pass it'll save you a considerable amount if you plan on visiting lots of sttaractions as we did!

Small playground for children, we we didn't make use of as we don't have any, but there were plenty of children using it especially when the site was quite busy at the weekend and they certainly seemed to be enjoying themselves.

As I said this site is an absolute gem and we will certainly be recommending it to all our camping friends and family - for a relaxing break with excellent facitilties in a lovely location and at very reasonable prices.

Reviewer: Alistair 9 reviews from this member

 We have just returned from a weekend at this site, minus our van. Because we have decided to leave it there for when we go back next week, and the week after. What a great site, which now rates as my joint No.1 fav site in the UK to date!

Situated on a hilltop with wonderful views, this open site is accessed via a long, fairly steep hill from the main road, which is no problem to a properly matched tow car and van. We arrived late due to a delay on the A64 (nothing new there), but a very nice man was waiting for us to take us to our grassed, very flat pitch, with very close water supply.

This site has a fair number of seasonal pitches and I have never been on a site where such pride is taken by the van owners in their own little bit of the site. The toilet block is great, as reviewed by others so I will not repeat, but really lovely and clean. Caravans and tents are not segregated to any extent which we like and the site has a very friendly feel to it, indeed we met some very nice people, not least Carol and Derek who are helpful in the extreme. These folks even leave their own mobile numbers for guests in case they are needed.

There is a small shop/reception that covers most essential items including wine and real ale in bottles, and we cam personally recommend the local sausages and bacon – best sausages we have ever had! As well as the domestic farm animals there such as cows, sheep (the Highland Coo’s are great) I saw swifts, wagtails, one of which spent 15 minutes trying to mate with my wing mirror, a buzzard and hares running around the site. Nearby there is a farm bakery that does to die for home produce, such as pork pies, quiche, scones, cakes etc.

I was unable to see any downsides to this site other that the chemical disposal point is a fair walk away at the very far end of the site, but then again, what better place to have it!

 Stayed for 1 night at this friendly site between Malton and Scarborough, very easy to find as well signposted off main road.

Friendly welcome, well stocked shop and toilet and shower block very clean.

Loads of farm animals and wildlife on site.

Only 3 washing up facilities but was not a chore as benches located outside to sit and admire the views whilst waiting.

Reviewer: DWMacdonald 2 reviews from this member

 We have just arrived back home from a two night short break at this site and have already changed our summer plans to enable us to go back for longer - it has to be said that this is the best site that we have stayed on yet! The owners Carol and Derek have chosen to not have their site as a 'conventional' site and this is to their credit. There are bathrooms with baths, showers, loo's and sinks all in together which are immaculate and 'home from home' which is great for families - not typical campsite showers which is what Carol and Derek pride themsevles on.

The site is immacualte (grounds and facilties) and a great spot to use as a base for loads of places - York, Scarborough, Malton, Whitby, Flamingo land, Air Museum, Eden Camp to name just a few - oh and the lavander farm is just along the road.

Our 5 & 8 year old boys loved it, the play area has been commented on by others as small but its much bigger than what ours have been used to on C&CC sites so they certainly enjoyed it! There are lots of lovley tame animals that keep the kids entertained also, 8am and 6pm lamb feeding with bottles was a must for ours!

We cannot recommend this site enough, we already have told all our friends. It is way under priced for the qualtiy you get - nothing is a problem for the owners and they are so keen to get feedback from customers about what else they can do to make your stay more enjoyable - not alot left in our opinion! Get booked!

 We have just returned from our first visit to Wolds Way.

What a brilliant site - the facilities are superb. The family bathroom is great, the kids loved the corner bath! The washing up room is good, there are 2 microwaves, a Kenco machine (costs 50p) and a very small tv as well as a Fridge/Freezer which is free to use. The on site shop is small but well stocked and the prices are very reasonable. Everything was spotlessly clean and not a spider in sight!

The kids loved seeing the animals everyday and the play area was very popular!

We will definitely be going again, the site owners are very friendly and helpful

 This is the 3rd year we have been to this site and it just gets better. As ever Derek and Carol are very very helpful and nothing is ever any trouble to them.

The extension to the spotless toilet facilities giving an extra 3 private shower rooms (1 with large corner bath) is fantastic and our 8 year old was desperate to get in it (wish he was like this at home). Also a reasonably priced well stocked shop that is open most of the day.

We keep returning to this site because even when full it is never over crowded or noisy. There are some great local attractions such as Scarborough, the north Yorkshire railway, Flamingo land and the Eden camp all well worth a visit. The site is also dog friendly with plenty of good walks. Looking forward to our next visit later in the year.

Reviewer: Ledgepie 1 review from this member

 Just returned today from this SUPERB site. The toilet facilities are the best we have seen, even including a big corner bath in one of the rooms. Derek and Carole were really welcoming and friendly. Derek even lent me a EHU extension (free) as our pitch was too far from the hook up point for mine to reach. My boys, aged 6 & 8 soon made lots of new friends and the youngest loved feeding the lambs. If it has to have a negative it is that the ground is very rocky (underneath) so I struggled with the standard pegs but I am sure a batch of 'rock pegs' would overcome this. The views are something else. We tried two different pubs for food (Coach & Horses and Dawney Arms) both good food and welcomed the boys.

 Once again Derek and Carol have exceeded expectations. New family bathrooms have been installed and are quite superb even posher than mine at home in addition to the already superb facilities.

Been to this campsite for a couple of years now and very relucatant to go elsewhere so I wont.

We really enjoy staying here and I have to disagree with the last post as we have stayed at busy periods and the site has never seemed that busy. I suppose it depends what you are used to.

Never had any problems at this site and it is so peaceful, great for kids with the animals to feed. Ours look forward to going and we have kids in our party ranging from 15 down to 3.

The owners are very helpful and there is a wealth of places to visit and explore. Well situated for a peaceful camping trip and an enjoyable time. Well done.

Date of Visit: May 2008 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Linsee 14 reviews from this member

 Visited Wolds Way on Bank Holiday weekend.

As per other reviews, lovely site, friendly and helpful owners.

Large tent field close to facilities, which are lovely and clean. 1 room with 4 loos and sinks. Another room with 4 showers and 3 sinks. Then there is a shower room with loo and sink and a bathroom. Never went in the gents!

We would have absolutely no hesitation in using this site again, but not on a Bank Holiday. It was very busy. Tent field full, seasonal caravans also busy. We had neighbours with 3 caravans and a tent parked up corral style, 4 units in effect on 3 pitches, with an extension in the electricity bollard to increase the sockets from 4 to 5! never seen that before. To be fair even though site full it was not noisy late at night and all the kids enjoyed themselves but were not too boisterous.

Just a bit busy for us.

Most touring pitches are on grass - again well kept/trim etc.,

When you turn off the main road onto the track to the site, it is a further 1.5 miles up the hill before you get to reception! Not a bad track, a third of it tarmac, but the site is too far to walk into town etc., definitely need the car.

There is a farmhouse bakery not far up the road and a pub serving food.

We went into Scarborough one day - about 25 miles - worth using their park and ride facility. No charge to park the car - no hassle - and a bus ride of 40p every 10 minutes.

Another point to bear in mind is the wind. Bank holiday was a windy affair in a lot of places, and this site is no exception. It is at the top of the hill and very open. So if the forecast is for a windy outlook and you have a tent I would think hard.

Will be booking again soon.

 This is the first time we had visited Wolds Way but it will not be our last. This is really nice quiet site that is excellently ran by Derek and Carol.

The kids loved been around the animals, especially feeding the lambs. The pitch sizes are really generous and considering our Vermont XL that is saying something.

The toilet block is always clean and it isn't too far from the tent field either. My only slight negative was the showers but I think that was due to them all being in use at the same time. Of course that insn't enough to detract from the site though.

Can really recommend Wolds Way to anyone.

 Had a week here with family and visited some local attractions. Lovely site, the owners are still really helpful and kind. Our children loved the farm animals and the site. The facilities were still spotless, but some of the fixtures were starting to become unstuck. Hopefully this will be sorted for the 2008 season.

Reviewer: Floobs 3 reviews from this member

 Stayed at this site for 5 nights in May/June half term. We were looking for a site not too far from home and hoping to find somewhere we could go back to for weekends and short breaks.

The site is lovely and quiet, away from main roads but easy to drive to and not too far from York and Scarborough for days out. Be prepared for strong winds - the site is fairly exposed and up a hill!

The pitches are not marked out and when we arrived Derek showed us the camping field and asked us where we'd like to pitch - this suited us and the large field with tents around the preimeter left a good sized area for ball games, etc in the middle.

There is a small play area on site in a corner of the tent field so safe enough for even quite young children to play there while Mum and Dad relax by the tent. The play area is not really suitable for older children, our 6 year old enjoyed it but our 8 and 10 year old were soon looking for something else to do.

Lovely walks from the site and the cleanest shower/toilet block I have seen on a campsite with proper shower cubicles and basins in one room, and toilet cubicles and basins in another - a really good layout. There was also a family bathroom which we didn't use but looked clean also.

The dishwashing area was also the best I have seen on a campsite - inside a large room with a television and tea and coffee making facilities. I usually leave the washing up to my husband but was happy to volunteer at this site!

I would say that this site is ideal for families with young children or couples without children and whilst we enjoyed our stay (and I appreciated the lovely showers) there was not really enough to keep our older boys occupied so when we return we would expect to need to plan more days out than we would normally do when camping.

Overall, I would highly recommend this site for cleanliness, friendliness and peace and quiet.
