 Use this site many times, a lovely site

Very clean and tidy

Owner has put a lot of money into the site

My only complaint is the WiFi is rubbish. This is a must in this day.

 Lovely site with everything needed all amenities open very clean.

Very helpful wardens fishing on site and local shops.

Value for money and handy for York shopping.

Nice local walk onto the common and the local shops, Small Tesco, couple of pubs that we didn’t use.

We have been here before and will definitely be back again.

 Me and my wife have been to this site on numerous occasions. We both love the place, and have made many friends.

The site is very clean and tidy, and has everything you could wish for in a caravan site.

David and Carolyn work very hard to keep the site up to spec.

I would recommend anyone to try moorside as you will not be disappointed. Unless your one of the idiots who criticise the site because the lake is down on its depth and a bit of algie here and there. Obviously can't fish !

Reviewer: Pamedav38 12 reviews from this member

 This owners of this site obviously make sufficient income from the seasonal vans, the storage, the fishing and the occasional tourer, enough to pay the 2 hardworking wardens, but not enough to warrant any changes or upgrades to the caravan site or the website overall.

Covid safe, motorhome (or only) waterpoint - very long hose required to fill and buckets required to collect grey water. A simple dog poo bin alongside the 'gate' to the common, would be useful.

Saying this it's clean and tidy and peaceful, and reasonably priced. However remember the website is out of date.

Reviewer: Trukerman 1 review from this member

 Visited this site on numerous occasions. Love the place the wardens work extremely hard keeping everything just right. The bank holiday bbq was a great event with regulars and first time visitors all joining in the fun and Jim the chef doing an excellent job. The fishing is ok but the water is very green a small investment in a couple of bales of barley hay would so on clear this up. Dave and Carolyn work extremely hard to tend to ur needs but alas you always get some folk that go out of their way to be awkward, mainly a pair of campervans that want super pitch service for 3 * prices. Overall a fantastic site with fantastic wardens can't wait for our next visit

 Bank Holiday weekend was the best time we've had. Jim the BBQ chef did an amazing time. A great friendly site with lovely helpful wardens. We love this site and all the regulars make it home from home.

Reviewer: Montesa 39 reviews from this member

 Site & Fishing review Autumn 2018.

NB. Firstly be very aware (as at October 2018) that this Site's website is actually still c. 2001 and hence mostly very outdated etc. Prices are updated to 2018 !

17 years later.

Site. Latest welcoming Wardens to be commended for working very hard to now improve & maintain this site which is, as per other reviews, becoming a little tired in places beyond their influence. Adjacent Trains didn't trouble us. Dog walking was OK / good. Understand site has become quieter in last few years. Mainly smarter seasonals pitched in October 18. Altogether generally acceptable for a Touring site stay.

Fishing. Pleasant enough looking Lake on first appearances (& in cheerful 17 year old pictures) but sadly needing attention. Surface (blue ? /) green algae (noted in review in August 2018) still abounds (Oct 2018). Overgrown trees adjoin irritating Iris notices at pegs, so pole fishing best. Lake is very shallow at 18 to 24 inches max - water level was 12' down due to 2018 drought but also seemed very very silted up. Noisy Aerator in one corner working hard 24/7 adjoins Pitch 1 to avert fish cull, so two adjoining 'golden' pegs were producing from the shoaled up fish. Rest of lake quiet or algae blighted. Fishing rules at honesty box stated no groundbait, no surface baits etc etc - be helpful to know that in advance. Mainly Skimmers and a few carp & Roach. £3 day ticket sums it up (strictly in advance).

If your seeking a Touring Site which specifically also has a reasonable Fishing Lake - I'm reluctant to recommend in Oct 2018.

Have Downgraded Review ratings due to the mis-leading website and poor state of the Lake.

Reviewer: Peter18 1 review from this member

 Pleasant, quiet, well maintained site. Toilet block clean and tidy, if a little dated. Two toilets in Gents insufficient when site full on Bank Holiday weekend. Service points scattered around the campsite would have been good to save long treks to fetch water, dispose of waste water, washing up area, dispose of rubbish (no sign of recycling here ?. , also bins full to overflowing when we left). Had to ask for WiFi password, could have made more readily available? Suggest moving tourist info brochures to (say) laundry room, so they can be accessed out of office hours. Also include details of local hostelries (Ship in Strensall village very nice, not so Half Moon, which we found Uninviting and food mediocre.

Reviewer: Johnt780 10 reviews from this member

 We stayed here for 4 nights and first impressions were very good clean and tidy park and very good facilities although the camp was not very busy. As one review points out some pitches were tight but with there being plenty of space in the camp it did not apply. But on the second day we were there the warden sited a caravan very close to our caravan and then their car was parked almost at our door so we could not sit outside our caravan where our door was. Why this was done I will never know but it certainly spoiled our holiday and I would not recommend this site to anyone and I will not be back. We would have stayed longer but with their car being at our door we certainly changed our minds.

Reviewer: Enid Stephenson 2 reviews from this member

 Spent 5 days on this site, and was very pleased with all the facilities, showers and toilet clean, getting on a bit could do with some money spent on them. Lovely peaceful time, no children !Railway very close but you didn't notice it much, soon got used to the trains. Lovely walking nearby round Strensall common Played 9 holes on the golf course, quite cheap as a lot of work being carried out, was not impressed with the course at all, Wardens very friendly and helpful, Wi Fi in the Laundry room was free but a bit unpredictable at times Had Sunday lunch in a Pub in the village, very poor. Will use this site again, for the peace and quiet alone
