Just back from our first camping holiday, we picked this site as it was fairly near to home and the reviews here were good and after staying I can fully understand why. We only stayed two nights and if not for prior commitments we could have quite easily stayed another couple and we will definitely be returning.
The site is very peaceful and situated in some beautiful countryside, the owners and other residents are very helpful, pleasant and friendly. As were the resident chickens!
The toilet/shower blocks are spotlessly clean and tidy with a lot of room in the shower cubicles (20p for four minutes), hairdryers (free) and sockets available for anything else you may need. A clean and tidy washing up room. There is also a laundry room but we didn't use this facility.
There is little shop on site with a small library of books adjacent. There are maps of walks available should you need.
There are plenty of ehu points as well as drinking/waste water points around the site.
The site is not adult only but there are no amenities for children so if your child needs swimming pools, playgrounds and amusement arcades to be kept entertained then this site will not be for you.
The site is only a few miles from the lovely market town of Helmsley on one side and Pickering on the other with the famous 'Lion Pub' at Blakey Ridge slap bang in the middle, well worth driving through Hutton le Hole to get to it and if you do, you've got to try the food there, well worth it.
The small village of Wombleton is approximately one mile away with a pub which opens during 'old fashioned' times as can only be expected in a small village but no village shop as far as we could see. To the other side is Harome which also has a pub and a shop. This road through Harome leads to Helmsley and makes a nice alternative to the A170.
Helmsley itself has two supermarkets, several tea rooms, bakeries etc and on Fridays at least is Market day. Pickering is bigger than Helmsley and as such has a larger selection of shops. Both are very nice and well worth a visit. For history buffs, both have a castle, Helmsley has Duncombe Park and Pickering has a 1940's weekend and a steam rally.
Very friendly hosts, shown to site by a man on a bike nice touch, on arrival asked usual questions then given a set of rules. Examples all dogs must be kept on a lead, no noisy dogs or they will asked to leave, Children can't play any ball games anywhere on site, No play park or any children's play area, and no cycling around site, so family's be aware this site seem not to be very child friendly, barbeque's must be out by 8pm.
TV and radio must be kept low volume, dogs must be walked outside the site and doggie bags must be deposed out side site in a bin across the road.
Plus points are:
1, Good TV reception,
2, Nice wash room and showers (although 20p needed) for 4 mins
3, Concrete base for motorhome but if awning is to be put out need to pay £2.00 and no were to hold down if pegs required,
4, Ideal for caravans,
5, Close to national trust site Nunnington Hall,
6 Very Pleasant and friendly staff
Over all not the best site for motorhomes and not the best child friendly site.
A very clean and well kept site, toilets were immaculate but you do however have to pay for showers. The only problem I found with this site is that there wasn't many things to do in the surrounding area as I was in a campervan, I don't use it once it is pitched up. There was an airfield at the back to exercise the dog, but no public footpaths or anything else I could find around. Unfortunately the evening I walked into the village the pub was closed also.
Having popped in to have a look last year this site was top of our 'to do' list this summer, so, when we finally had a decent weather forecast we phoned up on Sunday lunchtime. By 3pm we had arrived, been cycled to our pitch and started setting up.
We cannot fault the site or the owners in any way. As previously decribed the facilities are excellent, and we found David to be very east to get on with. Indeed, when I inadvertently tripped out all the electric on the site he dealt with the matter very tactfully and defused a potentially difficult situation. Brenda was always happy to have a chat and pointed us in the direction of some pubs serving great food nearby.
The whole ethos of the site is based on peace and quiet, so, if you want the 'Butlins experience' don't bother, there are plenty of sites locally that can provide this. Having said that there were a lot of children on site and they were all really well behaved, a big 'Thank you' to them, and the parents / grandparents for keeping in with the spirit of the place.
The site is very easy to get to, and with being west of Pickering only about 25 minutes from the A19. The surrounding area has lots of attractions, York, Malton and Scarborough are all within easy reach, and there is some great countryside for walking or cycling.
We were charged £18 a night for our large tent, EHU and dog which we thought was a very good price for the experience we had. And yes, we will definitely be going back!
My husband and I stayed her for 5 days in July and have to say it was one of the best campsites we have stayed on. The facilities were spotless and showers hot and lovely.
It was particularly nice to be able to have such a large cubicle to yourself and their were also plenty of toilet cubicles and private wash cubicles too.
We did not see a lot of the owners of the site but the handyman guy was forever tidying up and we were visited on most days by a resident chicken whom my husband adopted!
It is a superb site for exploring North Yorkshire and if we return to that area we will definitely stay here again!
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
Just back from 6 nights at this lovely site - we originally booked 4 nights, liked it so much we stayed two more.
The whole site is very well kept with spotless showers, loos, wash up and laundry rooms. Hairdriers and sockets for your own electric stuff. There's a loo etc for the disabled too.
The site is right on the edge of a disused airfield - ideal for dog walking. It is more suited to those without small children - although they are welcome.
Ideally situated for the many attractions in N Yorks.
Run by the lovely Willoughby family - they are always working; they make sure the site is clean, tidy and pleasant to stay in. They are friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. Their own web site is accurate.
This was our first visit - we shall most certainly go back.
We stayed here early July for 5 days and had a excellent time.
You cannot fault this site at all.
The toilet block is one of the best I have been in,clean all of the time.It has about 6 showers in the mens and 4-6 in the womens and plenty of loo's also there is a separate pot washing room.
There is a small shop on the sight that sells basic items.
The owner is very helpful he told us we can move the pinic table next to the tent and also a bbq stand.
The main town is Helmsley a lovely market town which is a short drive down the road.
We like to go walking and there is plenty in this area.
We will be staying here again as we liked it so much.
What a smashing site. Very well maintained. Toilet and shower rooms absolutely spotless. Very friendly owners who never seemed to stop working to keep the site looking nice.
Not too many children when we visited so was very peaceful. Next to a disused airfield which would be great for dog owners to exercise them. Would definitely recommend.
I have visited this site several times in the last two years and cannot fault the site in any way. Facilities i.E showers, toilets, washing up, laundry and waste disposal are fantastic.
Security may seem heavy but I have always felt safe here. There are so many good area and towns to visit within 50 miles. There is a good fish and chip shop within a couple of miles, and a Good co-op in Pickering. We have found a fantastic public house/ restaurant a few miles away that allow well behaved dogs in the bar area, and supplies fantastic meals at a reasonable cost.
What a lovely site and friendly, helpful people running it. Found the site ok following the guidelines given on line.
Was shown to the tent pitch area by the owner, Brenda, and picked a spot we liked on level ground. Some parts are not quite level but can not see it being a problem.
Showers and toilets really clean and and plenty of them. The little shop has everything you may need including freezer pack freezing facilities and lovely ice cream.
Within a short ride to Helmsley and Pickering. Lovely site. Lovely areas to visit.

We are regular users of this site, which is very well kept. There are site rules as can be found at any site. They are there for the benefit of the camper's and caravanner's.
Our grandchildren have always been made most welcome and on occasions when they have needed to be spoken to about a little excess 'play' noise it has never been nasty. I have fallen foul of burning the grass, not deliberately, I must add. We lit a small barrel legged type barbeque with a disposal pack inside. To ensure it did not burn we placed a pyrex cutting board underneath. This did not work and although we did not notice at the time it burnt the grass. So beware and use the stands provided by the site.
A lot of time is spent at the site maintaining the very pleasant surroundings and the family are very helpful. If you want a pleasant peaceful site. This is it. If you want a club house and enjoy making a noise until the early hours please go somewhere else.
Great little site with friendly helpful staff. On arrival shown to our pitch and assisted in siting. Mixture of hard standing and grass pitches of good size and kept very tidy.
We stayed 3 nights over Spring Bank Hol so site was full but there was no queuing for facilities, showers, toilets etc which are kept very clean.
Small shop for those emergency things you run out of or forget. No kids play area, But the owners do have a supply of board games etc to borrow to help entertain.
David the owner organises the occasional demonstration / activity for visitors which are very interesting.
The village is about a mile away with friendly little pub, The Plough, serving good food, good beer and pleasant company.
Ideal for exploring the rest of the area and will be definitely be returning.
This a small, pretty, quiet and immaculate site, situated next to a disused airfield. Reasonably priced - it cost us £16 for the one night we stayed. It has an excellent toilet/shower block.
The site caters mostly for caravans, but we were able to park our campervan on a hard concrete area set aside for motorhomes. We overlooked the small tent field. There were some a-frame wooden picnic tables for us to use, which was very helpful.
The site is not especially suited to families with children, as ball games and bikes are not allowed, but our four year old made friends with some children on the tent field, where they were able to play with water pistols and frisbies. I would not have wanted to stay longer for that reason alone.
The site owners son was friendly and helpful enough, but there was an awkward moment when he approached us to tell us not to have an open fire. My partner had only just lit the charcoal barbecue, and there were some naked flames for a few minutes, but we were not intending to have a 'fire'(it was a very warm evening!).
Lovely site, owners David and Brenda extremely pleasant and helpful. Site kept immaculate, standards very high, Toilet facilities excellent, on site shop and information area.
Lovely peaceful location, close to Helmsley handy for York, Yorks Moors and Castle Howard Area.
Helmsley lovely, plenty shops and tea rooms. The plough Inn Wombleton good food, best to book in advance on a evening. Highly reccommend the chippy in Kirbymoorside, the Lemon Tree.
Will be visiting Wombleton on numerous outings during 2010.
Stayed for 2 nights and had the choice of pitching in the tent field at the back of the Site or on a caravan pitch near the shower block. We chose the caravan pitch which was spacious and flat. Only slight problem was the ground was rock hard - stony underneath quite close to the surface so it was just as well there was no wind. I think the tent field was 'softer' so we would choose that next time. Can't praise this site highly enough. Facilities immaculate, whole site beautifully kept and pretty with trees turning gold for Autumn and peaceful. Owners couldn't do enough to help and recommended a couple of places to eat.
Probably not a Site for children as no playground although there is a disused air field next door for bike riding/games/dog walking and the Site owners have thoughtfully provided a small room next to the office stocked with board games, jigsaws and books for customers' use.
There are no pubs or shops within walking distance but these are only a short drive away. Will definitely be returning.
