 Just returned from this lovely site. Entrance with floweres makes it look inviting.
Grandchildren aged 7 and 9 loved large play area.
Toilet block, only one in centre of site, nice clean plentiful facilities, also houses dish washing area, which has 6 sink units and a central table, also laundry, again kept nice.
In between the daily cleaning there is mop and bucket to clean up after yourselves, but as usual some don't bother, so maybe staff cleaning twice a day would stop it looking a little untidy by late evening. ( you cannot choose your customers )
Good shop on site.
We were at bottom of the rally field which had plenty of space for our large tent, with lots of space for ball games too.
We enjoyed our weekend and will definitely return.

We spent a few nights in our tent on the rally field. A large spacious area with very few stones.
The toilet block facility is good with plenty of sinks, showers etc. The showers are too hot for children though. It is kept clean but this means no toilet facilities between 11 and 12 in the morning as they are closed for cleaning.
The shop is well stocked with basics including air beds and sleeping bags. It is well situated for Scarborough and Whitby.
We would definitely use the site again but we will be sure to ask not to be on pitch 36 as this is right next to a cesspit and very smelly and there are lots of flies around ( the rest of the site is pretty insect free ).
I mentioned this to staff as we left, I hope they will act on this problem.

Site is really nicely laid out, caravan and awning on hard hard standing with a grass area in front with loads of room between units. At the back is a big rally field for tents. We did not have any children with us but its definitely a good family site.
The big playground for kids was always busy but there was hardly any noise on a night which I was surprised at with it being such a family site.
Toilets are very clean, the showers are free, piping hot and spotless, never a queue even though the site was full. The pot wash has plenty of sinks and the site is very well kept.
The shop sells a good range of grocery's, a favourite of ours were the huge eggs from there own farm.
A fish and chip van calls twice a week, plenty of local pubs nearby for meals, Caley arms at Allerston or the Providence at Yeddingham.
The staff are really friendly and helpful and we all enjoyed our stay so much we definitely will be returning.

First time camping and I really loved the site. Very clean and despite the fact it is family friendly it was nice and quiet. The staff are very friendly.
The pitches are not on top of one another so there is enough privacy. I would recommend this site and really hope to return next year.
It is located in between Scarborough and Pickering so lots to do in the area.
The only potential problem could be that it isnt near a pub, for me that wasn't an issue but could be for some.
The shop is well stocked and it isn't overpriced either so if you do need something it wont break the bank.

Spent 4 nights here over the bank holiday and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Great playground for the kids in the centre of the site, our 2 yr old loved it and would have gladly played there all day.
Lovely clean facilities and a small shop stocking essential items, staff were friendly and helpful although the young girl serving in the shop seemed dazed and confused when I asked if they had any pedal bin liners.
Pitches are large & hardcored and have electric and water points. Overall a very nice site in a very nice area.

Came here as a second of a 2 site holiday (first was near Cambridge) and couldn't fault it.
The site is well laid out, and the welcome great and staff efficent (even when we called the owners out to a static caravan whose fire alarm was low on battery so could hear it at 11pm at night)
We were in the main site towards the outer edge as we didn't use EHU.
Shop was great, well stocked even with alcohol if you need it :)
The shower and loo blocks were very well maintained and the showers had a seat in each one with a privacy cubicle too. There was also a notice board inside the doors to both sides of the toilet block where information for local events, rallies that were due to take place (one on the weekend after we left) and what you could and couldn't run on their EHU before tripping the breaker.
The dish washing room and KP area was clean, tidy and dry with it being a whole room off the loo block. Microwave in the laundry but didn't use either of those. Small freezer in the laundry for your ice blocks if you needed to refreeze them.
The play park looked decent and there is a little information point and library shelf in the shed behind the shop.
Site is off the main road that runs to Scarborough (which we didn't visit bar the supermarket for food).
40 mins to the Park and Ride for York, 10 mins for Pickering (another supermarket) where the North Yorkshire Moors Railway terminates. A trip up to Whitby via few villages and stations that have been in film and tv is well worth the money (one family were taking the train to go to the beach and meeting the dad who had the car there to get back home)
Wish we were there longer to do other things (which I can't remember as it was over a year ago now) and would go back again

We have been regulars at this site for over 11 years. It is a beautiful site, toilet blocks are always kept immaculately clean. The staff are always friendly and polite.
The pitches are of a large size. They have a small but well stocked shop, daily newspapers can be bought Monday to Friday, and on a Sunday there is a paper van which visits the site.
I never thought I would have a gripe about this site but as from this year they no longer allow tents on the main camping area, they have kept this for caravans only, and all tents on electric have to go around the outside (hedgeside) so unfortunately this drastically reduced the amount of electric pitches available for tents.
But like I said a superb site and definitely will go for years to come (as long as we can get a pitch that is!)

Excellent site, very large flat pitches on the rally field and you can park your car next to the tent, loads of room for ball games for the kids.
Excellent wash & toilet facilities always found them to be clean and not overcrowded, enough wash basins and showers so you do not have to wait. Good playground for the kids with a good variety of things to keep them occupied for an hour or so.
My little lad particularly enjoyed playing on the old tractor. Friendly staff on site and plenty to do in the local area

We have just returned from a 4 night break here. We stayed on the hedge field pitch B, our friends were on C & D.
The site has everything to offer for children and adults of all ages. The shower and toilet facilities are very clean. The well stocked shop has flexible opening and doesn't over charge.
We had such a good time and had only booked a 3 night stay, however when we requested an extra night, the extremely friendly staff did every thing they could to accommodate us.
Fantastic place, friendly helpful staff, great facilities, clean pitches and good value.

Stayed for a weekend (fri-sat) with friends. Had a very warm welcome at reception and told there would be no one camping at either side of us, so, if we wanted to spread out we could (however pitch was a good size anyway). Toilets/showers/pot wash were always spotless & never had to queue (although site was not full). Excellent play area for children & a small field or ball games which my son made good use of! We made use of the small shop which sells all the essentials you may need. All in all an excellent site which I would definitely recommend :O)

Beautiful tent only site set on a family run hill farm in the Yorkshire Dales, nestled between Ingleborough and Whernside. The Three Peaks footpath runs right through the farm adjacent to the campsite with lots of walks direct from the site from easy strolls to climbing the Three Peaks, and five minutes to the pub!
Tent pitches only, no electric hookups. Toilet and shower block and washing up facilities. Sit, eat and socialise in the old barn, with free wifi, charging lockers, freezer. At weekends the Philpin Snack bar is open for cooked breakfasts, hot and cold snacks and drinks, ice creams, chocolates etc, on other days there are vending machines in the barn. Find out more here

Went here for a weekend fri-sun. This is a beautifully presented site, 5 miles from Pickering, 12 miles from Scarborough.
We stayed in the hedge field pitch B with our friends in pitch A - spacious, flat pitches, (montana 6 at the moment) but the ground can be a little uneven. There is a rally field as well if you have a huge tent. There are electric pitches available at this site but we stayed non-electric.
The facilities here are superb, the toilets, showers and pot wash were permanently clean with the toilets closed 11-12 for cleaning every day. There is a wider disabled toilet and a bath charged at £1 a go but we didn't use it. The showers a spacious with pegs and a stool and are warm. We never queued for a shower or had no hot water but I can imagine them being busy when the site is busy.
The shop stocks the essentials and more but isn't big - check opening times for shop and gas. There is no clubhouse on site but pubs can be found a short drive away if that's you're thing.
The playground has a variety of apparatus and kept the kids amused for hours.
A mobile fish and chip calls on Saturdays and Mondays.
Generally the camp was quiet but this is early season and we've been before when it was much busier and stopped in the rally field. There really is nothing negative to say about this site. It really is a great site, well presented and well looked after and we would have no problem visiting yet again.

This was our first ever camping experience and we loved it. The site was very welcoming, the staff were polite and the facilities were excellent. Toilets & showers were clean & warm and bins were emptied regularly.
We were on the rally field (NHU) which is huge and there was lots of space for the kids to play without bothering anybody. There is a small shop on site which supplies basics and a pub just at the top of the lane. I would recommend this site and will definitely go back again.

We booked at the last minute due to the great weather forecast and we are so glad we did.
This is a great site. We were on the rally field without EHU. All the tents were around the edge so we lots of space as the pitch sizes are huge. We were at the bottom of the field so sheltered by the banking. The site is clean and has a relaxed feel about it.
The toilets and showers were great and even had heating which was a bonus as the nights were a bit cold. The dog walk is the best we have seen on any of the campsites we have visited.
There is a shop selling the basics and all the staff were friendly.
The playground is suited for small children but ours were happy playing on the rally field with a ball and a cricket set.
We enjoyed our stay and will be going back.

We have been coming to this site on and off for the last 22 years, we first came when our children were very young and they loved the playground, we now come on our own with our dogs and they love the dog walk and the little stream; the site caters for all.
The grounds, wash area and toilets have always been immaculate and the staff friendly and helpful.
Lovely countryside with loads to do nearby and as the site is just off the main road there is no traffic noise.
You will not be disappointed whether you are camping or caravanning.

A large well-kept site with lots of hard standing caravan pitches and ample, immaculately clean, toilets and showers and a bath. Well placed bins and water-points across site, and an extensive children's play area, information room, laundry (cheap) and dog walking/playing fields a short walk off the site. Great TV reception - it's the first time we've had full digital channels on a campsite.
10 Minutes from Dalby Forest and a pub in the local village - you'll need to drive to this.
The site staff were very friendly from arriving to leaving, may have been the joys of setting up their christmas lights throughout a lot of showers, but they remained welcoming and friendly throughout.
We're so impressed (despite a wet weekend) that we're going back on the 4th/5th December for the turning on of their lights. A great site all round.
