 We wouldn’t normally go onto a site as big as this but knowing that there are a lot of seasonal pitches here and in our experience of these, the weekends are busy and then most go home Sunday afternoon usually leaving it a peaceful site, and this one was no exception. Lovely location by the river.
We were on a hard standing, one row back from the river with grass pitches in front and a lovely open grassed area behind. There is an on site takeaway which, at the time we were there was only open on Friday and Saturdays but we enjoyed a takeaway from there on the Friday.
The other reason we went for this particular site was because they also have a couple of self catering units and we had our relatives staying in one of these with their little dog.
This accommodation was very basic but functional and the price reflected this. They spent most of their time with us and really just slept there so it was ok but it really did need some updating as it was very tired. It also had no outside space and is next to the private accommodation and above the shower block so lots of noise.
The family who run this site were lovely and the site had a friendly feel.
I think the toilet /shower facilities were perfectly adequate and I think it had been freshly painted so felt light, bright and very clean.
We would definitely use this site again.

Friendly and convenient stop while doing the C2C walk.
Clean facilities and food offered on site but I didn't test it.
Plenty of space even though it was busy.
Nice walk to Richmond.

Just returned from a lovely weekend away, beautiful well kept site with everything you need.
The park was right opposite our caravan which was ideal for our little ones, enjoyed some delicious food from the takeaway & the shop sold all the essentials that you need.
Will definitely be back.

Bigger site than we would normally pick. On the Saturday lots of families and children again not really our scene. Sunday the site emptied it was a lot better.
Good location for Richmond 40min walk over fields and paths.
Good pitch and site kept tidy even with all the children.
Facilities closed due to covid

Arrived at site, and first impressions were of how nice it looked. Checked in and taken to our pitch by a really friendly gentleman member of staff who then explained layout of site and a wealth of local information and Covid restrictions they had which I felt were very adequate.
Lovely grass pitch with electric, level and right on riverside with a beautiful view of river and access to river over a little bridge. Electric hook-up point in a bit of a strange place so pitch next to us had to drive over our cable to get to their pitch.
Site wasn't too busy but imagine in high season can be very busy as it is in an exceptional location and the large amount of seasonals on site were mostly empty when we were there.
There is a cracking walk from site to Richmond missing out main road which takes about 30-40 mins but such a lot to see on way so probably a bit longer.
Did have a few issues which I feel is only fair to highlight We only used the facilities block nearest to us and being perfectly honest the dishwashing station was probably the worst I have ever seen. Clean enough, but very dated, worktops in a bit of a state and very little room and, maybe not a problem all the time, no hot water. Think some modernisation required.
Normally we use our onboard facilities but an issue with water pump meant we had to use alternative. Toilets whilst functional and clean could also do with some modernisation.
All in all a nice site but with some work could be a great site.

Very well kept site with appropriate Covid arrangements in place. Friendly helpful staff. Well maintained facilities.
Despite lots of rain no problems with getting on and off site.

Well situated to visit Richmond and surrounding area. We were going to altBerg boots!
Lovely CS with toilets and showers- one for men and one for women. Electric hookup. Quiet spot, friendly owners greeted us. Level pitches with gravel.
Nothing not to like

Just had a lovely stay at Brompton on Swale caravan park with family/ grandchildren myself/ husband/our dog. Stayed in park view cottage which was very homely/ cosy. Very clean and warm from the minute we walked in. A lovely touch by the cleaner leaving a posy of flowers, maybe a welcome pack or leaflet with times of arrival/ departure etc times shop opened/ shut bus timetable etc was put in the cottages as a good gesture. If you do stay in the cottage it might be best to take your own tin opener/a pair of scissors/ vegetable knife as these didn't seem to be provided when I looked in the kitchen drawer (just a little glitch). The fridge is basic, there's only an ice box which you could maybe put a couple of things in so wouldn't recommend taking any freezer stuff.
There is a country store just down the road from the campsite which has country clothing/ gifts/ etc. Worth having a look too, dogs are allowed in. There was a dog walk area on the campsite where you could take your dog and let them off the lead if you wished. The lane that's up there I would recommend keeping your dogs on leads as the path is a bit narrow. As we walked along it we found an opening to go through to cross over the road, then on the other side you could take your dog down a path where you could let them off their lead if you wished. Turning left at the bottom of the path just seemed to take you down to some fields, the right turn took you towards to Brompton lakes.
We had a lovely walk to Richmond, there is two stiles that you need to go over as you cross the fields which are quite high, once you go through Easby past the abbey and onto the flat path to Richmond, with the lovely views, it's easy. If you've got smaller children, 3 years and under, taking a pushchair would be best as its a long walk for them. You can get an X34 bus back from Richmond which comes at twenty five to four, if you do miss that bus the next one is half past six (last Bus), it drops off right outside the caravan park (take your bus pass if a senior citizen).
All the staff at the campsite were friendly, always smiling and helpful. Good location. Good park maybe would have been nice if there had been a couple of seats in park area. Central field for group playing. Staff ensured rules were followed, even picked up on people driving too fast and dealt with this professionally. Good shop would have being nice if they'd sold morning papers.
Family stayed in pods could have been better if there had been more space outside pod, decking table for cooking and a fence round the pods as near the river.
The games room was good but might be better if they'd had more free things to do like table tennis/ giant connect four or snakes/ladders for some of the younger children.
When some of the family used the pot washing area the water wasn't very hot for washing pots.
All the family had a brilliant time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Just had a visit this month. Great site, a new member of staff even unhitched our van for us and made sure all was as it should be. Only down side was kids kicking balls into the caravans all the time and pulling the hose pipe from the tap for filling the water barrels and running the taps on site all the time water everywhere. No supervision for this. Would visit again but only when the kids were at school.
One reason we decided to visit the site was the take away advertised sounded ideal. However. It does not exist and although it was a bank holiday weekend the shop was only half stocked. Very disappointing.

Myself and my girlfriend visited this site on our motorcycles on a Tuesday night and it was easy to find. The site is flat has a shop has toilets showers. Washing up areas and washing machines. The only thing we would of liked was a kettle to boil water for our flask. It's by a river which is nice. It was very quiet when we were there which we liked.

Just come back from a 2 night stay with my husband and 2 primary school age children
Advantages
*brilliant location, just 1. 5 miles from Richmond, a lovely little town which has cafes, restaurants, pubs, shops including a reasonable sized Co-op.
* close proximity of the site to public footpaths. There is a footpath to Easby Abbey straight from the site through fields which is lovely
*level, well drained pitches for tents.
* Campsite is well lit at night
* take away open 5-8 pm on Friday and Saturday nights
* decent kids playground
Disadvantages
*very cramped site. Rows upon rows of caravans with very little space between pitches.
*There do not seem to be any designated walkways to the amenities on site so people just walk across pitches to get to the toilet blocks.
* toilet block was dirty. We were there from Friday afternoon til Sunday and as far as I could tell the toilet block was only cleaned once on Friday evening or Saturday morning. The husband reckons the gents weren't cleaned at all. The floors were really dirty and people did not seem to mop after showering ( although the mop was probably not much cleaner than the floor)
*the tent area was slap bang in the middle of the only field where ball games were permitted. The management had even provided goal posts ! We had a few footballs in our tent and under the car which wasn't ideal.
*swearing and bad language was constant and got worse as the evening went on ( as people got more drunk).
*the bins were overflowing. There weren't enough recycling points.
* loud music was playing from several pitches from midday well into the evening.
* noisy and inconsiderate campers kept on going til the early hours.
* there was a dog from a neighbouring pitch that was running wild - the owner was constantly throwing balls for the dog to fetch. The campsite apparently has a dogs on lead only rule!
* there appear to be no enforcement of the park rules by site management and warden.
All in all we have come away very disappointed from this campsite. The campsite has great potential ( even if it is a little cramped). However due to a handful of visitors who are unable to communicate without swearing and have no consideration for other campers it was dreadful. I feel that this is partly down to the poor campsite management and lack of rule enforcement. If the site was managed or staffed better most of the issues could be solved easily and it could be a cracking little campsite!
