 Decided to spend the weekend camping, first time without our four children. We found Lakeside Adult Caravan Park by accident, but because of the locality, decided to give it a try. And we are so glad that we did! From the moment we approached the site we knew we'd found just the place for us. On arrival, Cherrie was effecient and took the time to tell us about what the site had to offer. We could choose from several spots where to pitch our tent and quickly set ourselves up. We were asked that before we left if we'd pour any unused clean water on the flower pots, this told us that Cherrie obviously cared about her environment and expected guests to do the same.
The facilities, toilets and shower block were spotless, with mops and cloths to wipe round when you'd finished, again showing the pride taken by the mangers of the site. There was always hot water for a free shower. The lake was clean and very tranquil, just what we needed after a hectic week at work. Neither of us fish but it was clear that this was a popular site for fishermen (the site even offers separate toilet facilities for them).
Although the site allows dogs, at no time were we bothered by them barking or any mess left around.
We only spent one night there but are already looking forward to going again and intend to stay longer next time. Our first camping trip without children couldn't have been a more enjoyable experience.

We have just spent 3 nights at lakeside and we wish it had been more.The site is in a beautiful location at the side of a fishing lake,the facilities are spotlessly clean and the whole site is well maintained to a high standard.On arrival we were met by cherry one of the wardens who sorted out the paper work and we were then shown to our pitch by keith,we must say that the wardens were two of the best we have met,nothing was to much trouble for this couple and we were made to feel like old friends from the start,we look forward to returning hopefully soon and would recommend the site to anyone who enjoys peace and quiet in tranquil surroundings.Did not use the pub that is about 2 mins drive away,there's a supermarket about 5 mins drive and york is about 10 miles away.Our only regret is that we did not find this site sooner.

Visited this site just before Easter - and what a peaceful and well kept site it is. The approach to the site is neatly set out and well off the road. We had a friendly welcome and were shown to a lovely spot overlooking the lake. Neither myself nor my husband are 'fishermen' but enjoyed watching the others and the day fishermen were always friendly.
The toilet block is beautifully clean and all users are encouraged to keep it this way!
The room next to the toilets has information leaflets etc and also dvd's and books which can be borrowed during your stay.
The surrounding villages are easily accessible and there is a bus service (which we didn't use)
All in all this is a site which we will return to again to re-charge our batteries!

Just spent 3 days over Easter, husband and son went for fishing, which they really enjoyed and caught loads of fish. £6.00 per day for residents. Toilet blocks were spotless and plenty of hot water for the showers which were free. We had our motorhome and the pitch we were originally given was hard standing but even with level blocks it was still on a large slope. Ask to be moved which they did with no arguments, this pitch would have would have been o.K. If we had a caravan. Sainsburys about 5 minutes away which was handy.

We keep coming back to this site as it fits our every need. Quiet, friendly, clean and even fishing which is a bonus. As a retired couple we like the adult site as it makes for a quiet stay and its a good idea to give everyone a choice of where they want to stay. The site is about 15 miles from York or you can go walking on the moors so there is always plenty to do.
Access to the site is easy and the pitches are level so there are no problems setting up your unit, fishing bate can be bought on site and you can also get milk and newspapers but there isn't a shop so make sure you take your own supplies.
Great site and we can highly recommend it.

Had three nights at this site so that my husband could fish the lake. It is one of the best sites we have stayed on. We pitched at the side of the lake, fabulous view from our rear window ! The shower / toilets were absolutely spotless. Nice dog run (dogs not allowed round the lake). Wardens and owner very helpful and friendly. Small quiet site with storage facilities if required. My husband enjoyed the fishing (dawn to dusk only). Will certainly visit again.

I got the feeling that this is a relatively new site but is well managed by very nice people.
Washing/shower facilities were very good.
Lacks a shop but daresay they will invest in one soon
Fishing lake was excellent and a small amount of bait can be bought on site
Very pleasant stay

Occasionally in life you come across something that exceeds your expectations, and this site did it for us. Peaceful, extremely well kept and with first class presentation.
We had never been to this area before and we wanted somewhere we could relax in quiet comfort and also be close enough for day trips out to York and the Moors and the beautiful coastline of Yorkshire.
We were made welcome soon as we came through the gate, shown to our pitches which were side by side (friends travelled from Norfolk with their tourer) and we were givena quick orientation of the site and facilities.
The pitches were nice and level and although we were on grass some were of hard-standing and all the hookup boxes were close. We weres upplied by the warden (without prompting) with a hookup extension lead as we had to reach another more distant box, that's good I thought, shows attention to peoples needs and through the week we were there we that noticed that attention to detail time and time again.
When we set up, the water heater developed a leak and requiring a new part, we asked in reception as to the whereabouts of a caravan centre so that we could get the new part- well they made the phone call to a local repairer and supplier of second hand caravan parts to enquire the availability of the part and within the hour we had hot water and a new lens to the awning light!
I have never been to the loo on a campsite that has pot pourri in each cubicle with vases full of flowers, and with a mop and bucket to swab out the shower cubicles after you have used them, but being an adults only site, you just know that it will all still be there in the morning, and not broken!
The lake provides well for the fisher people where relaxing walks around the lake can be taken and you will find benches at locations to allow you to sit and chill. The anglers are spoilt with easy access.

We are motohomers who have visited the site on several occasions. Really pretty site even if you don't fish. My husband does not finish work until 7pm and we have nearly a 2 hour drive to reach the site but we now just ring to ensure there is a pitch and we park up on arrival and sort out site fees the following morning. Vicky and Malcolm did seem a little standoff-ish at first but once you get to know them they are a great couple. Better this than being all over you!. They keep the site immaculate and it is a credit to the two of them as they do not have any assistants. We like hard standings because our motorhome is a Hobby 650 which is rather heavy, but even if you park on the grass on the left hand side as you enter the site you will not sink as it is very firm. Yes, there are a lot of seasonal vans there but you get this everywhere now. Even though the toilets and showers are limited it is not a problem. There are 3 fisherman's toilets with no lighting in the fishermans car park which are spotless compared to a lot of big sites we have been on. We now prefer either adult-only sites or smaller, quiet sites as it seems to be the children who make the mess in the toilet blocks. Have another visit - Les4paintings as I am sure you will enjoy your second trip more than your first. If you see us in our Hobby with our yellow tow car come round for a drink. We were there in January in snow and it is really pretty. Burnham Hall in Pocklington is well worth a visit, especially when the water lillies are in flower and feed the Koi Carp in the lakes - thousands of huge ones! By the way, don't all flock there as there won't be room for us!

Lakeside is a very pretty and peaceful site. Providing that you are a keen angler. The site is on the edge of a very scenic lake with spectacular views of peace and tranquility.
Unfortunately the fishing section is a completely different business than the caravan section and seems to get priority. As someone else on here is reported as saying." it is more a fishing lake that accepts caravans' than a caravan site that accepts fishing." The toilet block was cleaned daily and was in a clean and tidy condition if a tad on the small side, with just one block containing just two ladies cubicles, two urinals and two gents lavatories with two showers. This was for a field of over thirty caravans.
On our visit, during July, we were charged £15:00 per night and would have expected a little more than just a view for our money, but alas, there is nothing else on site.
As it is an 'Adults Only' site it is kept clean and tidy by the two wardens although these two could be a little more 'friendly' in their manner towards new visitors, the female of the two,Vicki, has worked most of her life for the NHS and I'm afraid that it showed. We noted that people who had their vans stored there and visited on a regular basis were given exceptional service, whereas new comers seemed to be more of an encumbrance to them. A typical example of this was on the night before we were due to leave, Vicki' the female of the two wardens called on us to ask what time we were thinking of leaving tomorrow as her partner was waiting to put out a storage van ready for the couple to come for the weekend.
We were packed up and saying cheerio to the Lancashire couple who we had befriended whilst on site when the warden appeared at the edge of out row with a van on tow.the time, 9.35 am.!
Indeed a lovely site.but not one that we would be in a hurry to go back to. In 28 years of towing that is the first time we have ever felt 'in the way' on the day of leaving.
