 Spent 3 nights here last weekend with another family. We were pitched in a terraced field over the bridge. This meant we were quite a long way from the toilet facilities - not that big a problem as it was generally dry when we were there but wouldn't be much fun in rain. We felt that the pitches were a bit on the small side - we both have Outwell 6-man tunnel tents (so big but not huge) and there was no space to park the car next to the tent, it had to go in front (and even then there wasn't much space) - out of every row they could do with losing 1 or 2 pitches. Ground was pretty flat but bumpy. Toilet facilities were clean and modern. There was a small park for the children. There is a small stream on the site - we were fairly comprehensively munched by midges, and there was a stagnant smell every so often - not sure if it came from the stream.
Osmotherley is a lovely village - we had a great meal in the Three Tuns which we would recommend. The scenery is stunning - we drove up Sutton Bank (NOT FOR CARAVANS) then made our way back over the moors via Rievaulx and it was simply beautiful. On the last night there was a meteor shower and because there is no light pollution it was most impressive. Lots to do in the area.
Good but could do better in some areas. Would return if we could choose a better pitch - not over the bridge!

This is a well kept site in a very nice setting. I would agree with the other reviews about the good condition of the facilities, the easy access to the nice village of Osmotherly and the nice walking to be had straight from the site entrance. It is an excellent base for exploring the western areas of the North Yorkshire Moors.
The only thing that I would take issue with is the following statement on the site's own web site:
"There are designated “family” and “quiet” areas on the Park. You can reserve your preferred area for pitching when making your booking."
Acknowledging that we were going away for a weekend in high season, I specifically looked for a site that had a designated quiet area and booked accordingly. However, in reality this was not the case. Although we were in the "quiet" field near the entrance, the site wasn't really big enough for this to make a difference. We were woken very early each morning by large groups of children playing very loudly in the trees behind our tent (which formed the barrier between the "quiet" and "family" areas) or around the vehicle barrier. I can't blame them for this as I would have been doing the same as a kid, but we had really hoped for a quieter pitch and I think that the owners perhaps need to make it a bit clearer that this may not be feasible at busy times. We also had families with youngsters in the top "quiet" field and they were regularly running screaming through our pitch (even jumping over a boiling kettle on one occasion). The other problem with the top field is that you might be placed very close to the barrier and the main site entrance/exit which also adds to the noise.
On a positive note regarding noise, the site was very quiet during the evenings and over night with no rowdiness or loud music going on etc.
The only other slight niggle was that the check out time is 12 noon which is the same as the check in time for the next people. Perhaps an hours gap might be a suggestion. Even though we were comfortably packed and clear in time (11.45) we had the next party basically waiting/hovvering next to our our pitch with their car and caravan from about 11ish on our day of departure which didn't make for a particularly relaxing de-camp.
The site and it's location has more positives than negatives, but I would think twice before returning at busier times of the year if I was expecting much peace. The site owners obviously do their best, but the site isn't really big enough to have the advertised areas in a way that makes much difference.

We have just returned from a lovely week at Cote Ghyll. We stayed in a static caravan. It was ideal for us with 3 children. The caravan was immaculate. It was luxury with central heating and plenty of comfort. The site was very well kept, it had a shop, a stream, playground, woodland walk and tarmac tracks around. The owners were friendly and helpful. There was also a warden available on site who also was very helpful.
We were also able to use the toilet and shower facilities on site which were immaculate, spacious and of a very high standard. Excellent tourist information, family bathroom and laundry.
The shop on site was well stocked and and we were 10 mins walk from very pretty village of Osmotherley having local post office which sold newspapers, maps of the area, wine, veg, fresh meat etc etc.
Three eating places/ pubs to choose from in same village.
We loved it and felt that the children were safe playing outside the caravan as site was quiet. We would walk to the village in the evening have meal, have a drink then walk home.
Very close to the road network and close to beautiful Notrh Yorks Moorland.
Ideal base for walking enthusiasts - right off "Cleveland Way".
Would return and would recommend. Kilburn White Horse, North Yorks Railway, Helmsley and Whitby recommended places. Thank you.

We have used this site quite a few times but unfortunately not 2007 yet due to work commitments.
Jon and helen are great,the toilets blocks and showers are spotless even during busy times and the site is really peaceful and a pleasure to wander round.
As said we've not been since aug 06 but have booked a pitch end of august this year for 4 days as really we wouldnt go anywhere else as this site has everything we need from good hot showers,nice clean washing up area,family bathroom,washer and dryer,small on site shop,security barriers,electric on all pitches and good value to match.
We booked over the phone,and actually drove down to pay our deposit so we could look around the site as we've not seen it for a year.it was exactly as we left it,clean,peaceful and so tempting to go home and grab our gear for a long stay.
Jonathan remembered us straight away,and even inquired if my sister and family where coming again ( as they generally do),took our deposit and we agreed which pitch we would like,then ok'd it for us to have a wander round site with the kids.
The only surprise was that last year there was an old field which contained old caravans and an old barn had magically transformed into another pitching place with all electric pitches and caravan standings,which in our opinion only betters the site.
This site is always peaceful,apart from kids playing nicely (ours too) and everyone we've ever met here has courtesy for each other quietening things down around 10 pm,which means even if you fancy a beer and a late night sometimes then no one minds provided noise is acceptable which most campers agree with on sites around England
Alll we can say it well done cote ghyll and we'll see you soon what ever the weather.

Got to the campsite on friday afternoon in the middle of a thunder storm, the worst down pour we have experianced camping. Considering the amount of rain the ground was in fairly good condition. Facilities were incredibly clean considering the weather. The kids played in the park and enjoyed the stream running through the site. We made use of the walks around the forest, up to the reservoir and into Osmotherley. A nice little village with a couple of pubs all doing food. a great weekend. Our second visit and we'll definitely be going back.

Arrived on a very wet Friday evening. Pitched in the rain and hoped for an improvement.
Saturday morning - what a change, the sun was up and the site drained extremely well.
The pitch was slightly uneven but this did not cause any problems with the tent.
Toilets and showers plentiful and clean with a code for access.
A small play area for the children appeared well used although we did not use it.
Good base for exploring this area of North Yorkshire.
All in all a very pleasant site with friendly campers and all obeyed the time limit for noise on the site.
Will definitely be back.

We had a lovely weekend at this site we requested a quiet pitch which we got. The toilet block was spotless with separate bathroom which was nice as i prefer a bath.osmotherlly is nice with 3 lovely pubs within walking distance.our friends came as well with their tent and they were unhappy that their pitch was not near ours which was no problem as they were moved closer straight away.you need a very long hook up lead ours wasn't so we borrowed one from the site for free just left a deposit.the only complaint is that we had a group next to us on the saturday night and they were loud insisting on playing their car stereo and slamming car doors till i had a word there are notices up regarding no noise after 9oclock but you need to enforce it. All in all this is a lovely site and will visit again.

Just returned from a weekend at cote ghyll and felt that this camping site was worth writing a review about. Very friendly and helpful owners who were more than happy to help us pitch up, in fact they came over and offered to help, which we were very grateful for as we have just started caravanning.
Excellent facilities, toilet and shower block very clean and pleasant , also a bathroom at a cost of £1 for plenty of hot water.
Very friendly site on the edge of a lovely village. Already booked to go back.

Just returned from this site, it's a nice site in a nice location with some good walks and pubs around it. The toilets are very clean and it has a small childrens play area. The bad points are we couldn't get any hot water in the showers after 8pm and it's quite uneven so you need your levels, also the roads approaching it are quite narrow. But all in all its a nice site.

Even though we arrived quite late (but not so late as to disturb anyone else), this wasn't a problem, we were shown where to pitch and told to book in properly in the morning. The owners were very friendly and helpful.
It rained the whole weekend we were there and the ground did get a bit muddy, but elsewhere on the site, the ground looked fine. I think, to be fair, we probably had a poor spot at the bottom of a bank near the toilets.
The toilets were fine and kept clean. Loads of places for the kids to explore etc.
A lovely peaceful site. Would definitely return to this again.

Just returned from the Bank Holiday weekend from this site and although it has many good reviews I must admit I have mixed feelings!
We were sited on the middle field which is very bumpy and uneven as is most of the site. After pitching our caravan and getting nicely settled, someone in a tent attempted to pitch up right in front of our window but someone then told them that was not a pitch which saved us from having to complain. The shower and toilet facilities were very modern and clean but were not very hot or powerful which I believe has been mentioned in previous reviews.
The site has no streetlighting so at night the site is plunged into absolute darkness apart from the lighting around the toilet blocks. Also there is no area for ball games which resulted in most of the families around us getting together and playing cricket around the caravans and cars and there was nowhere safe for us to put our car. We didn't want to say anything as we didn't want to cause animosity but the boys and men were hitting the ball really hard and were hitting peoples tents and cars! Although this is clearly down to people having little or no respect for other peoples belongings I think the owners should maybe occasionally check to see that the rules are being adhered to.
The site had a security barrier which was code operated, as were the toilet and shower blocks. There was an excellent tourist information point on the new shower block with plenty of information and leaflets about things to do in the area.
If you have small children Monk Park farm is an excellent choice at £4 each for both adults and children and you can feed the animals and give the lambs milk and hold chicks! At weekends the children can have a ride on a shetland pony for £1 each and there is a large picnic and play area.
The beautiful village of Osmotherley is about 10 minutes walk away where there is a chippy, a pub and a couple of shops. The toilets have been voted loo of the year several times and are spotlessly clean! The only downside is when you are travelling with your caravan the road through the village is very narrow as one side tends to have parked cars all the way up one side. You can also walk through the woodland to Cod Beck reservoir - nice for a picnic and beautiful on a summers day. Also worth a visit is the White Horse of Kilburn - it is hard work climbing the 151 steps but well worth it when you reach the top! It is like being on the top of the world and if you follow the path around to your left at the top of the steps there is a gliding club which if you are lucky you might see the gliders taking off over the cliff edge - quite spectacular!
I loved Osmotherely and the surrounding are but am unsure whether I would go to the site again - if we did we would perhaps ask for a pitch on the top field near the office further away from the facilities and play area so that we would not have the issue with people using the area as a playing field.

Nice site but we were put on a pitch by the static caravans, which wasn't a problem but the electric points were at the back of the field and although we had two electric leads they were still not long enough. Fair enough you could hire one from the office for a £20-00 deposit but when we went on the Sunday to return it we were met with a very frosty reception. Also I don't like going on sites that have a price for the site then they charge you extra for your awning when most caravans have awnings anyway. Why cant they just have a set price instead. Also because there were four adults in the caravan we had to pay extra for two. The area itself is lovely, with lots of walks nearby. Don't know if I would go back.

We were disappointed with our stay at Cote Gyll. We were advised by a Friend who had been there before to ask for the quiet part. It wasn't until we got pitched up that we realised the owner hadn't put us there at all. It was lovely and peaceful until Friday and then all hell broke lose. We were surrounded by children, whom I might add we don't mind, but when they are still screaming and shouting after 11pm then that's when it becomes really annoying. The parent's just seemed quiet happy to let them run wild. It seems to me the owner's were not bothered about toning down the noise even though it said quiet time between 9pm and 8am. They never came around once to ask them to tone down. Also, we were woke up a few times about 4.30 with youngsters going back to the youth hostel.
On a lighter note the walks were beautiful, and the village lovely. The hotel served some nice food and the fish and chip shop served some beautiful fish. Would think twice about going back because of the noise.

Liked this site. First ever site we went to so consequently got a bit stressed setting up on the wrong pitch. Could of done with more help than we got from the owners. That said loved it. Nice and quiet and no problems at all. Showers were good for us. My daughter loved the playground.
Although why do people let their children play on the site without watching them and keeping them safe!
Little village nearby great for pop beer and crisps.
Be careful on your drive to the site bit narrow because of the cars. But the local walks are brill brill.
We would go again and if anyone wants to go to this site please go, we are fussy and we know we are.

This was our first camping trip and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a lovely site although some of the pitches are a little stony and not level. The washrooms are spotless and modern. A friends son lost a tooth by falling over the slide in the play area but boys will be boys! I would definitely return.
