 Well what can I say apart from a great site! just a couple of miles from A19 and well singposted
The owners are really friendly and helpful and have a well stocked shop.
The pitches all have electric and a a great size
The toilet/shower facilities were always clean and regularly checked too.
The kids play area is good and visitors with kids seem to be put in this area which is ideal.
Theres a nice walk to the resvervoir (take fishing nets only 99p from camp shop) a great setting for a picnic on a nice day and the kids had a paddle in the water too.
My only criticism is the shop didnt open till 9am,no milk for my cuppa,but who can complain at that!
Will be there again very soon!

This campsite can only be described in one word HEAVEN.
Spacious, quiet, idyllic and very clean.
There is no noise allowed after 10pm.
Fantastic countryside and walks.
The only downside was that the shop wasn't well stocked but who cares as the site is brilliant and we'll keep going back.

This site has lots to recommend it. It is in a wonderful location, not too far from the A19, walking distance to a lovely village with pubs and great chippy, great walking area. Shower blocks good, owners welcoming, some hardstandings + grass pitches. BUT when we visited (a normal school term time weekend) it was absolutely heaving with families, kids, dogs, massive tents and windbreaks, multi family groups, some single sex groups. We were over the bridge in the 'quiet area' thankfully but still multi family tent groups pitched nearby.

Came the first week in May (including Bank Holiday Monday) with very good friends for our first ever camping experience with hubby's, kids and a dog each . We weren't sure how we would all fare! But this site has started us off on a brand new hobby, it was secure, clean and very friendly.
The toilets and showers (ablusions hut, as we nicknamed it) was very clean no matter what time of day you visited, plenty of showers and toilets and wash hand basins, even fresh flowers in the block. We didn't even need to visit the other block which was even newer as there was never a queue at our nearest one.
The play area was great for the kids, aged 10 and 8, and the shop sold everything they wanted at pocket money prices - perfect!
The village is only 10 minutes walk away with 3 brilliant pubs - if you want a great meal go to the 'Catherine' - their duck is fabulous and the local chippy gets 10/10 - proper old-fashioned fish and chips, the only thing missing was the newspaper!
All in all it was a fabulous site and a great experience, we have now decided that hotels will no longer get a look in and camping is for us - thanks to Cote Ghyll being such an impressive first site. We will definitely be returning again and again, the only problem is that now all the other sites will have a lot to live up to.

Spent 1st Bank holiday in May here. 2 adults, 2 kids, 1 dog.
What a fantastic site. Well kept, lovely warm toilet/shower block which was always cleaned to a very high standard. Nice play area for the kids where they made loads of friends.
Wonderful scenery everywhere you looked.
10 minute walk into the very pretty village where there are 3 great pubs all serving very good food. Also a fantastic fish & chip shop which only opens Thurs/Fri/Sat nights in the center of the village.(Well worth trying)
A lovely quiet site with plenty of trees and wildlife. Rabbits everywhere in the evenings.
Can't wait to go back again.
Definitely recommended.

Stayed here on the first decent weekend of the year and had a lovely time.
It is a fantastic setting with wonderful views all round and loads to see and do close by.
The owners are very friendly and efficient and the facilities are immaculately maintained.
If you do go there, try to avoid pitch 28 which is the one we were on.
It is pretty uneven making levelling the caravan very tricky and has a tap right in the middle of the approach to it. This makes life difficult if your reversing is not up to scratch - like mine!
This is a minor glitch and it will not stop us from visiting again in the future - I will just ensure that I do not end up on pitch 28!

We recently stayed here for a weekend (3 nights) over the bank holiday and had a fab time. We've stayed here before and have always enjoyed our time here.
The site was a bit wet but after all the rain what could be expected. Even though the ground was wet the tent was easily pitched and it did'nt get muddy at all.
Showers and toilets spotless as ever and loads of hot water all the time.
A short walk into the village led us to the pub and we had a really good meal at The Three Tuns.
Will be back to Cote Ghyll again this year as we love the site and the owners are friendly and don't bother you at all.

This is a lovely site well maintained and very handy for exploring north yorks. The site facilites are excellent, nice clean showers and pot washing. Most pitches seem to be very good, however the pitch we had f4 and the adjoining one f5 were quite uneven and I think they could be improved by levelling a bit. However the bonus of these pitches is they are very secluded and overlook the beck. You can hear the water fall and the birds, little rabbits running nearby very pretty.
Osmotherly is a pretty village but the road through the village is narrow, so beware if you have a big tourer.

Spent 2 nights at Cote Ghyll our 1st visit. The guy in reception (owner I think) gave us the info we needed, codes to get onto the site and into the toilet blocks and a map showing how to get to our ptiches.
Found the facilities to be perfect everything you need. The showers were clean, hot and free, set me up for the day ahead.
Don’t have children myself but the play area looked OK and plenty of space to kick a ball about. We were pitched on the other side of the stream across the bridge away from the play area, so we weren’t bothered by the little darlings.
We took plenty of food etc. But the site shop looked more than adequate to me.
The area is outstanding and is definitely worth seeing, great for walking. Osmotherley is only ½ mile way with 3 watering holes (pubs) to choose from all selling food. But you could choose to have fish & chips at the local fish shop. There is also a small store.
We hopped on a bus to Northallerton to have a look around the Saturday market; it only cost £3.40 return which is not bad for the distance approx. 7 miles.
Would go again but will wait for the summer sun to dry it up. There has been quite a bit of rain, can’t speak for other parts of the site but where we were pitched it was boggy underfoot on arrival and very boggy when we left.
Overall a very good site.

Just returned from a 5 day stay at Cote Ghyll, (our second visit) fortunate to be up on the new pitches ,which were great, facilities spotless and the free drying room was much used by our childrens coats and wellies. Even the rain didn't spoil our stay this week, the site has a lovely feel about it and the children love the freedom. Johnathan (the owner) is constantly on the go cleaning, fixing etc. Hope to be back soon.

NB: Reviews from the Easter period should be considered in the context of the weather at this time. Heavy snow fell over much of the UK
Spent two days of the Easter weekeend at this site. The facilities on site are excellent, with modern shower blocks and underfloor heating. There is even a bath, which will cost you a quid, but well worth it when you fancy a change from push button showers.
Site owners were welcoming and friendly and ran the site efficiently.
There had been quite a bit of snow, which had melted prior to our arrival, so the ground was very boggy. The site would benefit from more hardstanding pitches, especially as they charge £19.50 per night for two people! Site owners note: This is a bank holiday rate, not low season and includes other things eg. Kids under 5yrs old
The local area is great, with excellent walking around the local forest, reservoir and the Cleveland Way. The village of Osmotherley is pleasant with three pubs, all serving food, a general store and a chippy.
An excellent site, well worth visiting!

Cross your fingers on the approach through Osmotherly to the site entrance – the route is very narrow and appeared to be permanently heavily congested with parked cars on both sides of the road. If two caravans were to meet in opposite directions then one would need to reverse a LONG way to let the other one pass. I’d stick to the arrival and departure times which may help. Thankfully we only met a motorhome with a reversing camera! Site owners note: The narrow approach is actually only 200yds long
The grassed areas of this site were very boggy. Could be because the site is in a valley or there may be a problem with drainage. I’ve read earlier review who noted the same. Site owners note: The Site was wet and boggy because we had just had one day of 1” snow (melting in ½ day) and the following day with 2” of snow which had literally melted in 2hours!
Positives for this site – well there is a serviceable tractor which was well used pulling every one out of their pitches, they don’t charge. Site owners note: Tractors have been necessary on a lot of Sites (including ours) over Easter to pull caravans and 2 wheel cars out of snow
If you need to be off after 12pm then there is a late departure fee of £3 (must be the extra electricity you use for that last cuppa!) Site owners note: Late departure is actually £3.50 and allows you to stay up to 6pm, instead of having to depart by 12pm
The play park is fine for the kids and the new shower block is well appointed and very clean. The area is well worth a visit also.

Me my wife and 3 children stayed at Cote Ghyll for 2 nights in our small 6 man weekender tent (which we found to be too small) we found the site was very clean and tidy shop was small but could do with selling more camping aids like guy lines and fewer toys.
On the day of our arrival I managed to flatten the battery on my car and within a few minutes of looking my wife found the very helpful warden who jump started my car (Twice Doh) We took our dog with us so we found the walks very good so did the dog. In Osmotherly the small fish and chip shop sold the best chips I have ever had. There is a very well stocked Post Office/General store, had a couple of bottles of wine.
We have just invested in a Outwell Hartford XXL and are looking forward to going there again our 3 children were off playing while we pitched the tent, two of them coming back wet as they found the stream, our pitch was right next to the park and was of adequate size for the tent we had, however we will need to book a larger pitch for the new tent.
This is a very pleasant site and would and have highly recommend it to anyone who just a quite peaceful relaxing break and will be back there early next year whatever the weather

Just returned from a wonderful few days at this site. When we arrived on the Sunday the owners told us that the site was virtually empty and just to have a look round and pitch were we liked - so we did!
Nice large pitch almost next door to the toilet block/dish washing area (which was very handy!). Toilets and showers etc always kept very clean and I really liked the underfloor heating. The only thing I would say is that the shower doesn't stay on very long before you have to press the button again - I had to develop a technique of pressing it with my back. We had a look into the new shower block and that also looked very nice (power showers in there I believe).
Site was very quiet whilst we were there (2nd week in September), and we had a very relaxing time. Osmotherley the nearest village is a very pleasant 10-15 minutes stroll away with some very nice pubs (we particularly liked the Three Tuns), there is also a fish and chip shop which we never got to test as it's only open Wed-Sat. Northallerton is the nearest town (about 6 miles away) - nice place and has everything you could require including a couple of camping/walking shops and a large Tesco's.
Plenty of walking virtually straight from the camp gates - we particularly enjoyed a very pleasant stroll around Cod Beck Reservoir on a lovely sunny September day. We also spent a reallyenjoyable couple of hours at the James Herriott Museum in Thirsk - well worth a visit and at £5.20 we thought it was excellent value for money.
The only downside to this gem of a site was the ground - it was extremely hard / rocky and instead of taking roughly an hour to get our tent up, it took nearly three with several broken pegs!
We do intend to return - there's lots more local walks that we simply didn't get a chance to do, but next time we'll take some rock pegs with us!

This was the 1st time I had ever been camping and I can honestly say I was spoiled.
What can I say, the playground was great and you can see it from most of the pitches. The pitches were big and the shop was always well stocked. But most of all the toilet and shower block were spotless and had underfloor heating which was great(you never got out the shower and froze to death getting dry).
The owners were very friendly and helpful. Just down the road is a tiny little fish and chip shop, i think there is also a pub but don't quote me on that.
Will definitely recommend and will be going again.
