Lovely site, by the side of an attractive fishing lake. Nice location, as well truned out as practicably possible.
Elizabeth & Tony lovely & helpful. Helped a relative newcomer to the ins & outs :)
Cheap rates that creep up to still very acceptable, with the awning, dog, extra car.
Showers free (brilliant block) & I think the washing m/c is free.
Electric is on a meter. Buy £1 cards & sell back the cards you don't use. I used £0. 30 from mid afternoon to next day lunch. Losds of kettles, but no heater over night.
I had to leave the next day due to personal reasons, so need more time to write a full report.
But the place is quiet & truly lovely.
There's a dog run on site. It's 6/7m wide & 60/70m long, it's not totally secure, but just a small gap at one end & the gate would let a small dog through.
No dog walking round the lake.
No youngsters (under 16 I think).
No WiFi. But phone data was fine (Vodafone).
Close to A1079, striking distance of York, Elvington Air Museum, the stunning Wolds & next time, I intend to find more.
It was my plan to let Tony move my 'van & store it between visits.
Circumstances will hopefully let me spend more time here.
Cannot fault. Lakeside has everything we want from a campsite and things we don't :) the showers have been improved and with the great addition of elizabeth and tony i'm sure it will get better. The fishing on site is superb and i enjoyed my early morning walk around the lake. If there is one thing we would like is that tents were allowed to pitch with a lake view, then i would not have to carry my fishing tackle so far plus it would be nice to enjoy a evening drink looking out over the lake. Hope richard might consider this in the future. So all in all we cannot recommend lakeside highly enough. Looking forward to our next visit already :) 5 stars.
The facilities are kept immaculately clean toilets, sinks, and showers. The grounds and touring areas have very short cut grass which looks immaculate when driving on to the site, and this is complimented with the lake by which the anglers can have a good days fishing with easy access to all pegs, with some pegs surrounded by lily pads which looks very scenic.
Full credit to the 2 wardens, tony & elizabeth who obviously work very hard to maintain the site to the highest of standards
In which makes for a more relaxing and pleasant stay
The noise [what noise] so peaceful
1st time to this site hopefully will not be the last.
Fantastic adult only site! I was in 2 minds about writing this review as i did'nt want to attract the masses but that would be unfair to the owners and in particular the 2 wardens, tony & elizabeth, who obviously work very hard to maintain the site to the highest of standards. The facilities are kept immaculately clean with 2 toilets, 2 sinks and 2 showers(not the push button type which was great) in both the mens and womens. The grounds and camping/touring areas have very short cut grass which looks well manicured and this is further enhanced with a large fishing lake surrounded by mature trees which looks very scenic.
You can pay to fish the lake whilst camping and you do get people just coming to fish the lake but everybody was very friendly from fellow campers to fishermen and this just enhanced the whole experience.
All pitches are of a reasonable size and all have ehu which is paid for separately by use of electric meter cards so you only pay for what you use but you can stay without electric.
The touring caravans and motorhomes do have the best pitches as these overlook the lake but you can still walk round the lake and explore the grounds in this area. The camping areas are in two areas, one which is a large exposed open area which overlooks the neighbouring fields and has just 4 ehu points but i think you can camp here without electric as well and the main tent field which has approx 8 pitches all with ehu and all are a good size. This area is less exposed and is better sheltered but has no real views. Wherever you pitch what you will notice is the peace and quiet, this is an adult only site so no kids running riot and it was bliss. If you are looking to party all night then this is not the site for you but if you are looking for some peace and quiet with good facilities and immaculately kept grounds then book quick before everybody finds it.
Well done to all concerned - we can't wait to go back.
FABULOUS is the one word to describe this peaceful and well kept site. Cherry & Keith are the great wardens, and nothing is too much trouble for them. So much so our Caravan now lives there and Lakeside is now our weekend retreat, and to spend the odd week there. Husband loves the lake for the fishing, I like the peace and quiet. Great for local attractions ie York, Millington Wood and Bridlington on the coast. Cannot recommend this site enough.
Just got back from this absolutely fantastic campsite, and I'm already booking to go again. I cannot speak highly enough of this site. The wardens were absolutely great, so friendly and helpful. The facilities are spotless and everyone we met on the campsite was so friendly. If your a fisherman or fisherwoman, you will be absolutely spoilt with the well stocked lake and the surroundings.
Great site well located for a pleasant quiet break, good fishing and just a short drive to the supermarkets in nearby bielby. Stayed for 12 days and had a great time. Now heres the drawback, the site warden is a jobs worth and is very strict with the rules and there is no give with him, overall a great site well located and friendly campers.
I sent a text message to a friend last weekend on our first, hopefully of many, visits to Lakeside -'I've just found something special. ' And boy was it special, a warm and friendly welcome and told to go and get sorted and pay later.
We had a problem in that we couldn't reach the ehu post in the space available to pitch our tent, but this was solved when we were given an extension.
We got the tent set up for our overnight stay, then went for a walk round the lake. The people already fishing were having a lovely day in the sunshine and were keen to pass on advice. Back at reception we eventually paid and what a bargain, we were given directions to a nearby town and went off to do some shopping.
Later on we went down to do an evening of fishing, 4 fish later we decided at dusk to give up for the day and go back to the tent. The tent area like the rest of the park was nice and peaceful, people were having a nice time socialising with friends but respecting the rules of the site and other campers, everyone retured for the night early
A lot of effort had gone into landscaping the site, there were lots of little touches like hand soap in the washing up area. The shower block was heated and clean with free showers and although there wasn't anywhere to put your clothes apart from a hook on the back of the door this didn't cause a problem, there was a shower curtain so no wet clothes and if needed there was a plastic garden chair that might fit in. There were two showers, two toilets, a sink and a cubicle with a sink in inside the ladies but not once was there a queue or a wait. There was a useful information room with books and magazines to swap, leaflets about the surrounding area and further afield, also local take a way menu's etc.
An old red phone box had a dispenser where in case of emergency you could purchase one of the £1 electric cards. We used £2 but had only just put the last card in to finish cooking brunch, we asked what time we needed to take the tent down by only to be told, 'No rush, ' so we ended up having brunch.
We sadly left the campsite and went to find Pocklington canal and had a nice walk along the canal side to the swing bridge. We also went into Pocklington and found a Sainsburys and Aldi just a few minutes drive from the site.
From arriving to leaving there really is nothing bad I can say about this site, everyone we came across were so warm, friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble and I can't wait to get back there again. The opportunity to relax in such beautiful surroundings was a much welcome break from the stresses of everyday living and the wardens were so dedicated to keeping the site immaculate and everyone happy, I'm checking my holidays to see when I can get time off work so we can go back.
We arrived for our first but not the last visit to lakeside, we where welcomed as if we where royalty, the area is first class we where parked in our touring caravan looking over the lake. The facilities showers toilet block very good indeed they are kept very clean. The grass and surrounding area is kept better than some golf courses. This is a very good base, there is a good garden centre about 2 miles away they serve good food, on the same road as the garden centre A1079 there is a pub and restaurant, you are only a sort drive from York, Bridlington and Filey, would recommend to everybody
