 Just arrived back from one weeks holiday at one of the best sites we have ever stayed on. We were struggling to fault it, so much so that we have even left the van there for another 2 weeks. Spotless facilities even when the weekend was busy. Nice and peaceful during the week and fun to see everyone arriving for the weekend. Staff are brilliant and the shop was very useful. Being the owner of 2 golden retrievers, it was more than useful to have a 6 acre dog field as well as many brilliant dog friendly off site walks to explore. The surrounding area is beautiful, from picture postcard villages to the excellent seaside areas on the east coast. All in all, a brilliant friendly site to suit all tastes.

Really well located site for visiting local area with lots of attractions and things to do in local area.
Site toilet block is well maintained and looked after although very small with limited showers. Busy summer months can lead to long queues.
Site has lots of hand standing pitches although beware caravans and tents are mixed throughout the site.
Children's play area is really good and maintained well, located on a quite safe area of the site.
Did not get a friendly welcome and had a really bad experience on site through an extremely badly trained member of staff in customer relations.
Sorry but for the above incident would not return which is a shame. Could be a great site if managed correctly.

Having recently upgraded from tent to caravan we chose this site for the hardstanding pitches and being open still in November. As we did not want to tow in the dark, I asked if we could arrive early Saturday and depart late Sunday. This was not a problem and no oportunity was taken by the site to take an early arrival or late departure fee. We were greeted on arrival by the warden, allocated a pitch and left to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of a beautiful crisp autumnal weekend. Heated shower block one of the best I've seen. Super park too. Less than 5 miles from Dalby forest and not much further to Pickering. The site was preparing for Christmas and if the weather is kind to us we hope to return to see this beautiful part of the world ready for the festive season, and if not then definitely next year.

Very well kept site majority of pitches were seasonal campers. Not much in shop but that's because of the tme of year. Had mile to walk to nearest bus stop where we went to pickering nice town with plenty of shops and the railway. Went to thornton le dale with it's thatched cottage well worth a visit. Pubs allow dogs which was good had nice meal. Came back from day out to find grass had been cut so the electric cable had been pulled out and not put back in not just with our motorhome but with caravans as well so beware to check when grass been cut.
Toilets and showers very clean all the time. Nice site but don't think will return as too far if you have to walk for a bus not safe walking if you have small children no pathways, or like us with a dog. Lovely play area for children.

Great site, the location is perfect for visiting north Yorkshire moors or other coastal towns such as Scarborough Whitby or Bridlington. The toilets and washrooms are fantastically clean and the whole site is maintained to a high standard. The shop is small but ideal for basic essentials. The information hut was really useful for local places to eat and visit. The children's play area was clean and well maintained and entertained our grandsons of 5 and 1 1/2 for several hours. Great family location and would definitely come again.

Just got back from a few nights on here and thought I would put a few words down about the site, The staff were very helpful and friendly. The amenity block is spotless and also the washing up area is very large and again very clean. The pitches were worn but this is to be expected after all the rain we have had and did drain well. The shop is well stocked and papers can be ordered in advance. It is close to the North Yorkshire moors steam railway and for the more energetic Dalby Forest(great walks and cycle routes). If we have one gripe it is there are a lot of touring caravans which are permanently pitched so it seemed very 'clicky', the kids all seemed to go around in little packs and the language could be a bit ripe which, when you have little ones we don't want them to be subjected to in the play area. Other wise well worth a visit.

We have used the Vale of Pickering for the past 10 years. The site is extremely clean, the facilities are second to none. Site is well kept, and the staff are very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately we will not be visiting again, as they have dropped the amps from 10 to 6 for tents, and will not allow electrical heaters for tents, or fan heaters for caravans if they use them in awnings, only gas heaters are permitted. As a tent who only uses electricity, we wouldn't be able to even boil the kettle. Anyway having said that it is a super site, but alas I feel they are turning tents away.

First impressions were a bit iffy. We were allocated a pitch and when we got to the field we found we'd been sandwiched between two tents in a corner, when there were plenty of pitches available around three other edges of the field. However, when we asked if we could pitch in some clear space we were told it was no problem.
The facilities are really good. The shower room / toilet block is spotless and the pot washing facility is spacious and very well kept. There is a great little information hut and the reception / shop staff are very helpful and friendly. The boys loved the playground, especially the tractor! Oh and the local bacon is delicious!
The camp field is a little boggy at the entrance, but with the recent rainfall it's not surprising. The field is very level, the ground is not at all bumpy, and all facilities are a very short walk away
Lovely quiet location. Would come back with no hesitation.

Last minute booking at this site and may I say well worth it.
Showers were fantastic, always clean and fresh as were the toilets. The site was spotless at all times, bins emptied all the time so no rubbish left about.
Pitches were very spacious. Although there were just the two of us (adults), the facilities for children looked excellent and all the children looked to be enjoying themselves. Although there were a lot of children on the site it was still very quiet and none of the children seemed to bother anyone.
Staff were very helpful and friendly at all times.
If you want an excellent meal try the Fox & Rabbit on the Whitby road at Lockton as recommended by one of the staff at the camp site.
Would certainly use this site again especially as it is an ideal base for trips to the coast, York, Dalby Forest and delightful local villages.

This campsite was excellent, travelled as 2 adults and 3 children aged 7, 3 and 2.
The toilet and shower facilities were always spotless, the shop well stocked for essentials the playground was brilliant for the kids.
The staff who worked there were always friendly and helpful,
It was located well for our trip into pickering to travel on the steam train and also for our day on the beach in scarborough and dalby forest was also easy to get to.
Another great idea was the fish and chip van that goes to the site on a monday and saturday teatime also tried and was lovely
An overall excellent site would recommend to everyone and I will definitely be returning.

Really enjoyed my stay this past weekend at Vale of Pickering.
Despite the strangely cold weather for this time of year, the facilities and environment on site may the stay much easier and comfortable.
The tent pitches are absolutely huge, we were with friends and managed to fit two 5 berth tents into one pitch and use the spare for an outdoor living area.
The toilets, washroom and laundry were of an excellent standard: the toilets and showers were heated, with plenty of capacity and hardly any queueing needed.
The children's play area looked good, and the shop seemed well stocked, but we didn't use those facilities.
At night the area was quiet, children have to be back at with their families at 10 and after 11 there's hardly a peep, so if you're wanting to relax then you're onto a winner.
There are plenty of water and electric points about - however the electric overloaded regularly thanks to caravan users using electric rather than gas heating, but I don't think that'd be a problem in warmer days and nights (it was really cold for May weekend) and the site management provided a friendly reminder to all about the electric situation.
The local area itself is very pretty, Thornton-Le-Dale, Pickering and Malton are easily accessible, with the villages of Allerston and Yedingham close enough for a walk to the pub (however I wouldn't consider them 'just round the corner).
You're about 30 minutes away from Whitby, Scarborough and Filey - plus 'Heartbeat Country', the market town of Helmsley and Robin Hood's Bay aren't far away either - in other words, there's plenty to do!
In all, a really enjoyable stay at Vale of Pickering, it's a well serviced, well managed and clean site, one that I'd happily recommend it to friends.

This is one of the best sites we have visited. We have used it several times. Just returned from a week on the site. Lovely sized pitch which fit our van, full awning and car on.
Facilities were as always exceptionally clean even though the weather was wet.
Fish and chip van visited Saturday night. Good value for money.
Play park for the kids.
Small well stocked shop. Close to Pickering, Scarbourough, Bridlington, Filey, Danby forest, Thornton le dale to name a few places.
The Providence Inn is a mile up the road with lovely food if you want to get out for a meal.
All in all good value for money and a site we will return to again and again.

A good site with lots of facilities. It is mainly a caravan site, but there is plenty of space for tents. It was quiet whilst we were there so I couldn't comment on the size of the pitches, but we had plenty of room on ours for an 8 man tent and a large car.
It rained heavily for a day whilst we were there, but the pitch was well drained, and we had no puddles.
Clean showers, laundry and dishwashing facilities. Plenty of places to put rubbish and recycling, both of which were serviced every day.
Kids playground was great and our 6 and 8 year olds didn't tire of it.
We spent a day at Scarborough and one at Castle Howard, both great days out and not too much of a drive away. We also had an excellent meal at The Providence in Yeddingham, (5 mins away in the car), which came to £50 for a family of 4 with 2 courses and drinks all round.
Only down side to the site was there was no hot food on site or within walking distance, but that is perhaps because there are more caravans.
Will definitely be going again, and would recommend this site.

Stayed on this site for 4 nights for the Pickering War Weekend. The pitches are all hardstanding (hardcore) and not overly large. Had we erected a full awning on our large caravan would have had difficulty parking the car on the pitch as well. Toilets are kept clean and always plenty of hot water. The gates to the site are locked at 11:00pm and not open again till 7:00am which means if you go out for the night (40's dancing) and return after 11 o'clock you have to leave your car on the access road outside the site. More than likely not a problem but something I was not happy with. Small shop on site with extremely limited opening times. Childrens play area by the reception but according to the list of rules, handed to you on arrival, adult supervision is required at all times. Not sure how strictly this is enforced as we had no kids in our company. Would I stay here again, probably not.

What a lovely site, with helpful friendly staff.
Toilets and showers are plentiful, the water was always hot too. They were clean and there is a free hairdrier in the ladies section. The site is well laid out and well maintained.
There is a small shop which sells essentials, you can order newspapers and a fish and chip van visits once a week. In the laundry room there is a microwave oven, and the washers and driers are a reasonable price.
There is an excellent playground which our grandchildren enjoyed, and as usually happens they made friends quickly.
It could benefit from gates to the entrance to it though, as we saw more than one child run straight out into the path of an oncoming car.
A beautiful part of North Yorkshire, with plenty to see and do in the area.
