 Just had a weekend here as it's only a few minutes from home and wanted to bring the caravan out of its hibernation with a visit to a local site. Staff were very friendly and welcoming and allowed us to arrive a couple of hours early as we had a lot planned and they weren't too busy. The site is peaceful and quiet with lovely views of the lake. The shower blocks are basic but clean with with a couple of shower cubicles, loos and sink cubicle. I didn't use the showers so can't comment. Electricity is not included in the price but provided on pre paid cards. We had a £5 one which lasted us all weekend even though we spent a bit more time in the 'van than we would have liked as it was not as warm as the forecast said it would be! BUT we ran the heater off the gas as we weren't sure how long the card would last powering the heater. Overall a lovely little site and will go again

Well this is our third review of lakeside and sadly my last as my wife and I have decided to hang up our tent pegs, so it is fitting that as this was to be our last camp it was at our favourite site. We arrived and met the new warden at lakeside she is so friendly as is the other warden. I cant add to much more to this review other than it is a great site to camp. One of my major gripes has been that tents were not allowed to pitch next to the lake, that's for the sole use of caravans, well I was told by the wardens that from next year there will be parts available for tents that is great if your a camper. Well that's it folks do visit lakeside you will not be disappointed if its peace and tranquillity your after :)

We came across this site by accident and initially stayed for a weekend, and then went back for a week. It is so lovely and peaceful that we decided to store our caravan there and make it our 'getaway. This has worked out really well, as, we phone the site and advise when we want to come up, and when we arrive our caravan is levelled on a pitch and ready to set up. When we leave we just leave it where it is and it gets put in storage. And this was cheaper than leaving it on the farm we previously had it stored at, and saved diesel getting there. A win win situation. The pitches are well spaced, and you have alternatives of a field which is enclosed or next to the fishing lake. I don't think the pictures on the website do this justice. It is peaceful, clean, very well run by the wardens who are always ready to help. The toilets are clean and the showers are great. Pocklington is a lovely small town with everything you need and is only a few miles away. The East coast is about an hours drive, and it is only a few miles to York. If you decide to go to this adults only site you wont regret it.

When they say 'PEACE & TRANQUILLITY' that's just what you get here.
We booked late for the bank holiday but they went out of their way to fit us in and upon our arrival due a cancellation we were even offered a pitch with a stunning lakeside view, we chose to pitch in what's known as the 'laurel field' which is nicely tucked away and only holds about 8 vans or campers, so was lovely and quiet, even with the site full you could still hear a pin drop at night and wake to the sounds of the birds and not shouting and screaming children!
We had a very handy toilet block close by which was spotless as was the main showers and toilets, there was always hot water in the showers and washing up area and even a laundry room.
The wardens were fantastic, they had only been there for a couple of months but treated everyone like old friends, as we were new to caravanning they were always on hand and happy to help.
We loved it so much we booked back on again in a couple of weeks and they kindly offered to let us leave our van in storage, this was fantastic as it saved us the trouble of towing it home and then back again.
We can't wait to get back there!
A huge THANK YOU for making our stay so great and making us(and our dog) feel so welcome. We have finally found our utopia.

We arrived for our first visit to Lakeside to a very warm welcome from Cherry and Keith, being new to caravan ownership Cherry had Keith on hand to help us set up and explain how everything worked. We where up and running in no time. The shower toilet block was spotless and not once did I have to queue.
Fresh free range available daily, they where beautiful, Cherry keeps a small selection of emergency goods should you run out just check she might have some. You can purchase gas, Keith even fitted it for us. Electric cards are in £1 £5 £10, we used only £1 to see how it went, 3 days and only spent £2.
The grounds are very well kept with the grass kept neat and mowed, the vans aren't too close together so you don't feel all on top of each other. It is lovely and peaceful plenty of birds and Grebes to watch as they go about their daily tasks.
A nice walk all round the lake takes about 20 mins unless you find someone to talk to, I found everyone so friendly. Pocklington is a lovely little market town with some really nice shops I found an excellent bakers on the main Market Place.
There are 2 fish and chip shops a Chinese takeaway and a Chinese restaurant, found a small Co op in the same area. We are now storing our caravan at Lakeside and look forward to our next visit. I don't have any negative points

Yet another great weeks camping @ lakeside, met by the smiling faces of cherry & keith, we felt right at home on our 2nd visit to lakeside,
Again superb fishing and how I enjoyed my early 5am walk around the lake, if you are looking for a site with total peace and quite then this is the site for you we look forward to returning again.
There has been the introduction of barriers since our last visit and this made for a more secure feeling,
The facilities are very good never once had to queue for the showers
The site is kept immaculate by Keith who keeps the grass to golf course standards
I cannot recommend lakeside enough for the quiet and the friendliness

This was our second visit to Lakeside and I have to say I left this time rather disappointed. The setting is lovely and the idea of an adults only site is appealing after raising two children. However, the emphasis was on peace and tranquillity for the caravan owners but not for anyone else. I booked our visit for a group of Dandy folding campers (about six units) in January of this year and specifically asked if we could pitch around the beautiful lake which is the centrepiece of the site. I received a reply saying that we had all been put in the Laurals but not knowing where this specific area was, thought that we were in fact around the lakeside somewhere. This was not the case. Even though we paid the same price as a caravan, we were stuck in a back field with a lovely view of the caravan storage area. When I approached the site warden I was told that he would 'bring my thoughts to the notice of the owner'. Frankly not good enough. When I pointed out that a Dandy uses less pegs and groundsheet area than a caravan awning I was ignored.
The site facilities did not seem able to cope either. There is one shower block which is housed in the main toilets. Two showers each for males and females for the entire campsite which were running cold by 9. 30am. Don't forget that this was in March at the start of the season and the site was running at about 40% capacity. I again brought this to the attention of the warden, who's reply was 'They (Us campers) have used all the hot water'.
Since last year the site has introduced 6 amp pre payment electrics on the back field and 10 amp (I think) for the Caravans. We had to purchase cards which were placed into a slot in the electricity boxes and the amount of money paid showed on a meter. We used £1. 40p worth in two days but were told that you didn't get any unused credit back. You only get back the price of any unused cards which you return to the office upon leaving. Hint. Only buy the £1. 00 cards and use them because if you buy the £5. 00 cards you may end up paying for a lot of electricity you don't use.
Another shock was the fact that any visitors you have who are not actually staying on the site are charged at £3. 00 per person per day. This cost is not recovered from the visitor by the warden but is taken from the £10. 00 deposit you pay for the fob you need to get through the security gate even if the visitors are uninvited. Our friends visitors actually went into the office upon their arrival and asked the warden where we were pitched and the warden had ample opportunity to charge them the £3. 00 there and then. Our fellow campers asked the warden why he felt that they should be responsible for collecting fees on his behalf but were again left with little explanation.
I left Lakeside feeling that anyone with a tent or trailer tent is considered a nuisance. I paid exactly the same as a caravan and should have been able to take advantage of the views over the lake. Not over the Caravan storage area. Sorry Lakeside but I won't be back or recommending you.

After 9 hour journey the arrival at Lakeside was a welcome site. We received a warm and friendly welcome from the new wardens and shown to promised pitch location (right next to lake).
Unfortunately your caravan has to be positioned with the back of the caravan towards the lake so the view from your van is towards other caravans rather than the pleasant view of the lake.
Our stay at Lakeside was for two weeks and, having booked from the internet, we were pleased with our selection. It is a quite site and adults only. The toilets are clean with other facilities up to an acceptable standard.
Having a dog we were surprised that we were not allowed to walk the dog around the lake and had to use the caravan storage area to exercise the dog. Our stay was very enjoyable and the fishing was excellent with both caravanners and day fisherman bagging good catches.
Site does sell some fishing bait and expect the new wardens will increase the stock variety. Paying for fishing (£6 a day for those staying at the site) is made using an excellent envelope payment system but was annoyed to have to pay £5 if you had been out for the day and only wanted to fish in the evening which was from 4. 00pm to 7. 30pm (Ok for summer when fishing ends at 9. 00pm) with only £6 for a full day.
There are a few seasonal caravans, position to the rear of the site, and many of the tourers were folk who kept their vans in storage at Lakeside and visited at weekends.
The village of Pocklington is only 4 miles away and has numerous shops including Sainsburys and Aldi as well as a cinema. You have to go to York for any fishing tackle (I recommend York Tackle - 10 miles). There are numerous pubs in the area which serve food.
Overall an excellent stay with everyone on site (both wardens and fellow caravanners) very friendly. We do plan to return for another stay in the future and certainly recommend this site if you like a quite site and fishing.

This week was our first visit to lakeside but wont be our last, such a lovely friendly, well maintained campsite it is and the fellow campers couldn't do enough for us quite simply a lovely community feel to it!
The fishing lake is well stocked and being an adult only site the men can fish in peace, the toilet blocks are cleaned daily with free showers there's a utility room free for use also, lovely on site safe dog walk with beautiful views!
Lakeside is well situated near to york and pocklington with lots to do! Onsite storage which is priced from £260 is worth thinking about its all safe with security barriers for peace of mind.
Now we've found this perfect site I think were going to struggle to find anywhere else up to the expectations of lakeside!

Great quiet site, lovely location.
When we arrived heavy rain was imminent, so Cherry and Keith let us pitch straight away, letting us book in the next morning. There had been heavy rain earlier in the day but the unpowered tent site was not waterlogged. As a bonus, the field is fairly flat.
The toilet block is very clean with great showers and a small information room with details of the area. The whole site is clean and tidy. It is around two miles away from the main road and easy to find.
Pocklington is a few miles away with supermarkets and quite a few independent shops - we particularly recommend The Coffee Bean and Pane e Vino. The off licence (Threshers, I think) sells a good variety of local ales. There's also a few pubs, There are regular buses to York, Beverley and Hull from Pocklington.
Would highly recommend this site for a quiet break, even if (like us) you don't fish.
