 What a fantastic site, both for adults and children alike. There is an area for adults only, A play area and large field for kids to burn off energy.
The facilities are excellent especially the unisex wet rooms. The pitches are flat and spacious and the grounds are well looked after.
The site is perfectly located for the coast, Whitby, Scarborough etc and the North Yorkshire Steam Railway is only a few miles away in Pickering.
This is our 1st time to this part of the country and we will return as we did not get to see / visit all the places available.

What a cracking site located on a working farm. Large spacious pitches and immaculately kept grounds. Facilities were spotless with brilliant wet rooms. Staff were really friendly. We were pitched away from the children's play area but it was great to hear them playing.
The site is central for visiting the coast and York, plenty of things to see and do. |Would highly recommend the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.
Would definitely go back.

Stayed at the site with our daughter and son in law who had a camping trailer. The site was well laid out with lots of facilities for children and dogs. The shower and toilet block were immaculate. Close to Pickering, Whitby and the North York Moors.
Would definitely return again

Stayed for 2 nights in June, grass pitch, we didn't require EHU although it was available.
Site is very well organised & maintained. We arrived up 20 min after reception closing time but a member of staff stayed behind to check us in and was very helpful.
The pitch was a good size with plenty of space even after parking the car next to the tent. We where located among the caravan & motor homes close to the park & toilet block which was ideal for the children, there is a large field camping field over to one side of the site, separated by a large earth mound, this feature along with trees & fences throughout the site helps break it up so you don't feel like you are in one huge field. The toilet & shower building was large & well maintained, they even had unisex facilities with baths! The park was again well maintained and large enough to keep our children occupied while on site. On a night the area we stayed had a lot of lighting which seems to be a feature of large sites these days, our pitch was situated right under a large lamp post, luckily our canvas tent blocks out the light but I would have struggled to sleep in our old polyester tent, if I was to stay again I would stay in the large camping field with no lights as I like to look at the stars on a night.
The site itself is located close to Pickering with the NYM Railway, Dalby Forest, Flamingo Land and Scarborough.
We would definitely stay again and recommend it to friends.

Nice little site. Small playpark for children to play. Nice clean toilets, showers. Only down fall don't have pitch 90 if it rains you get flooded. Nice pub nearby called blackbull, very nice carvery. It's about 12mls from Scarborough. Little villages around.

As it advertised this is definitely one of the best sites in this country.
The site is kept clean and tidy and as for the shower/toilet blocks these can only be described as spotless.
The owner, a lovely lady, is always on hand with a smile. The dog walk is massif and as the entrance to the site is on a private road there is very little road noise.
It is a little more expensive but believe you me it is well worth the extra few bob.
It is very handy for the quaint village of Thornton-Le-Dale. Also close by and worth a visit are Malton and Pickering. The coastal towns of Scarborough, Whitby and Bridlington are a pleasant drive away over the Yorkshire Moors.
I don't think you'll find a better maintained site anywhere in this country.
We can't recommend it highly enough.
We will definitely be returning

We stayed for a week over the Easter period and whilst the site was busy it never felt crowded and the pitches are roomy and have plenty of space between them. We had a hard standing electric pitch no 95 near the park. The toilet block has new unisex facilities (wet rooms with free showers) and were kept spotless. There is also the usual male and female facilities as well. There is also a family bathroom which costs £1 for the hot water and is well worth it. The park facilities are great for the kids. The shop has a good selection of basic supplies. Pot washing and laundry facilities are also available. A local fish and chip van visits the site on a Wednesday and Saturday and the food is lovely.

We really enjoyed this site, the access to the North Yorkshire Moors is good, about 10 minute drive to Pickering. We found it a friendly site. All pitches are flat and the views of the hills beyond are nice.
The site itself is spacious and pretty with the manicured grass, many trees and mounts and fences behind the pitches to create privacy. The floral old phone box & nice touches in the toilet, shower and bathroom added to the holiday feel good factor. Being able to have a bath after walking on the moors is a real bonus. The only small negative is that the bin area was a bit messy maybe we were there just before bin collection day.
We enjoyed our stay at Vale of Pickering Caravan Site.

This year we decided to spend Christmas and New Year's eve in the caravan, and Vale of Pickering was the site chosen. The site is lovely, a perfect location to explore the North Yorkshire Moors or the coast. We didn't interact too much with the wardens so I can't comment on it. In terms of facilities it is quite well equipped. My only criticism is related to the showers in the cubicles: there's no hangers, shelves or similar to leave the clothes, which make them a bit uncomfortable, especially with children. Also, the fact that the shower is not physically separated from the toilet and the basin area, makes it a bit messy. Finally, the temperature in the showers area was a bit low.
Other than this, the site is very good, with plenty of service points.
In summary, a place to come back!

Just returned from another enjoyable stay on this lovely site. As I described in a previous review, there is nothing not to like about this site. If you book a pitch on the periphery it is very peaceful too.

Booked 3 tent pitches and asked to be placed near the toilets as my wife is in a wheelchair, the closest pitches were for caravans but we did get a pitch close to the toilets. While I am talking about the toilets I have to say that these was the cleanest toilets/shower/baths I have EVER seen on a campsite. Could not rate the cleaners high enough.
The playground was very good at keeping the children aged between 4 and 12 (and some 35 year olds too).
Didn't use the shop as we were out everyday so just stopped off in Pickering.
The location was perfect, as you walk around the site you keep seeing different beautiful views.

Just had a short notice trip here, absolutely fantastic. Beautiful area, great views. Very quiet at night for a fair-sized site. Facilities as good as I have seen, and a very thoughtful touch being the family shower rooms! Great for our children as the compact but well equipped play area kept them entertained for hours. As good a stocked site shop as I have seen and the staff very pleasant.

Just returned from a five day break. Couldn`t fault anything at all about the site. Good sized level hard standing pitch, plenty of bins for rubbish, shower block and toilets were spotless. We made use of the laundry facilities which eased the burden of washing/drying when we got home. Our nine year old loved the playground. We hardly saw him all holiday. There is a good sized dog walk just off site which came in very handy. The shop is good for basics and all the staff we spoke to were very helpful. The location of the site is excellent. Less than a ten minute drive to the lovely Thornton Le Dale and also Dalby Forest which is a good family day out. Pickering is a fifteen minute drive away. There is a large Lidl and Cooperative in Pickering. (There are a couple of mini supermarkets in Thornton. However they were quite expensive and did not stock a huge range of goods). Whitby is around 30-40 minutes drive away. The nearest pub is half an hour’s walk or a quick drive away. The Providence Inn at Yedingham. It has a good sized beer garden and a little play area. Very good value for money site and an excellent touring base. No hesitation in recommending this site to anyone.

Great site and wish I had visted sooner. Very, very quiet area with no noise during evening night that was bothersome. Noise was very low when we awoke at 9. 30am!
Lovely shower / toilet blocks and enjoyed using them. Playground was ok for son (6 years old) and kept him occupied and so did the playing field with football nets on them just over road.
Only downside I could find (and it's a little one as well) is that the ground was quite soft after it had rained for the day and left tyre marks on it but nothing too much to complain about.
All in all a very good site and would go back.

We booked this site well in advance for the Wartime weekend. Due to unforeseen circumstances we had to revise our stay but the friendly staff couldn't have been more helpful. Despite this being a very busy weekend they only charged us for the night we stayed.
Although this site is situated a little further west than we might have liked we thought it worth the drive. The site is very well run. We did have a problem when our fan heater tripped the mains but another visitor on an adjacent pitch advised where the reset button was located a short distance away.
I've saved the best for last - the toilet/shower block is superb. Easily as good as anything the caravan club can offer and better than some they do. Kept in immaculate order too.
We will be returning!
