 Went camping for the weekend with 3 tents was told over the phone there was electric hook ups for tents but when we arrived we were told there was none available although only 2 other tents arrived for the weekend.
The site itself is really nice. Toilets and showers were clean and warm they even have baths.
The children's play area is excellent and the site is very safe at the end of a long drive and locks up for the night

Just returned from our visit to this campsite.
1st impressions were very good, (despite the rain)
Reception were very polite and courteous.
Pitch area was fantastic, mixed in with tourers.
Grassed area for the tent + rubbled area for the parking space, which overall felt like a huge space and very comfortable.
Most of the site is surrounded by trees, shrubs and very well maintained flower borders and baskets.
Playground was great for our 2 children, they enjoyed playing there, even in the rain.
Toilet/Shower/Wash areas are immaculate, other than the odd mudded floor which is to be expected with the weather. Mop provided. Ample toilets, choice of bathroom £1 operated for a bath, showers, family bathroom, baby change area with changing mat, hairdryer with table/chair, private cubicles with sinks, the choice was great, and to me, makes an impact in whether we would visit again or not. (need to feel comfortable!)
Didn't use the shop, but I'm sure that would stock most essentials.
You need to travel a good few miles to the nearest supermarkets, pubs, fish 'n' chip shop etc.
We only stopped 1 night, as we had to cut short our stay, but we will definitely be back.
Can imagine it being even more appealing in the spring/summer, as we arent avid campers who brace all the seasons! (unfortunately)

Stayed here for 3 nights bank holiday weekend. This is a good site for most reasons but I did have a problem with some things: Firstly the Rally Field that we were put on is too far away from the Toilet and Shower block, I had booked well in advance but still felt like this was an overflow field. There were not enough Showers and Toilets for the size of the site which resulted in long queues! Third the facilities are cleaned once a day which must be the only time they are checked too. Lastly middle area of the Rally field is no good in High winds, watched lots tents literally blown away at the weekend|
Location is lovely for visiting surrounding areas but it is quite a hike to the nearest pub if you fancy a change of scenery on an evening.
Park is well equipped

We stayed 3 nights at this site and found it as good as it was last year. Ideally located for the coast whitby and scarborough as well as the north yorkshire dales with pickering ans helmsley nearby. We also visited dalby forest which was worth a visit plenty of walks a massive adventure playground and good cafe and gift shop.
The site facilities are very good, toilets are clean showers a bit on the hot side especially if you have little ones but there are baths available for £1. Lovely well kept grounds a good park for the kids. Freezer available for ice packs. Excellent site we will return to.

As other reviewers have noted this is a well specced site with good size pitches, good shop with all the essentials, well designed children's play area and football pitch -which the children loved. The showers, washing facilities were first class, with hot water always available. The showers/toilet block is closed between 11.00 -12.00 for cleaning.
We stayed in August and the pitches were a little worn - we had some heavy rain too! The park has a ralley field where the majority of tents go. If you want electric then tents are in with the caravans - mixed hard and soft standings.
Good location for the coast and the moors

Philpin Farm Campsite - Yorkshire Dales
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

We (2 adults 2 kids age 5 & 2) spent 2 nights here over a busy weekend and found it to be of the highest standard. We had a non-electric pitch sheltered by the tall hedges on the main tent and tourer field. It was only a short walk to the toilet and shower block which were very good and cleaned regularly.
There is a play area that suits all ages and the area itself is lovely.
I cannot think of any constructive criticism worth mentioning.
We are already planning a return!

Have just returned from a ten night stay at Vale of Pickering with two teenage children and I would thoroughly recommend this site. Very welcoming from the start. We could see immediately how clean and well kept the site was.
Our camp pitch had plenty of room and was well maintained. The washing facilities were very clean and showers good and hot. Although our children are early teenage they made good use of the play park and the football field, making lots of friends.
The on site shop was a bit disappointing but overall a clean friendly family site, close to many attractions and activities.

Site is a mixed caravan, motorhome and tent facility.
Pitches are a good size, we fitted 2 6 berth tents and a 300 x 300 kitchen tent, with room for 2 cars to park.
Reception, site shop and toilet block are fairly central - longest walk is about 5 minutes for non-hook up tents.
Toilet block is a bit small, 6 showers for a 100 plus pitch site, so queues do build up after 8 AM. Block is closed for cleaning between 11 and 12. Laundry and dish washing areas also in this block.
Site is a bit remote - nearest pub is a 25 minute walk into Allerston. Also is a working dairy farm, so a little bit of lorry traffic in and out the site.
Large children play area between reception and toilet block, also a big field with football goals and the dog walk area.
25 minute drive to Flamingo Land, about same for Great Yorkshire Dalby Forest (follow the brown signs, sat nav on TomTom is wrong). Scarborough nearest coastal town is 30 - 40 minutes drive.

First time campers, we found this site to be fantastic. Clean, friendly and well maintained. Plenty of water and rubbish facilities without making it unattractive.
The pitches were good sized and tidy.
The shop was adequate and the showers, laundry and washing up areas were more than we could have hoped for. Never had to queue at anytime over the weekend.
If this is what camping is like, I am truly converted to it!

We came here camping with our 3 nephews and it was fantastic from start to finish.
The grounds were very well kept, and the area we were given to set up camp had a great view across the fields.
The area for washing up etc was really clean and tidy and everybody was really friendly.
The toilet blocks and showers were great and kept spotless. The area with the bath was especially good for the kids.
The play area was very nice, and the kids had a ball here with all the park equipment.
The shop was stocked well, and to say how small it was I was shocked as to just how much stuff they had. This is a great little place and only a short trip to flamingo land ! I would highly recommend this place.

Loved this site, nicely laid out with lots of space, very good toilet, shower, laundry and dishwashing facilities. Always hot water and didn't have to wait for showers or other facilities. Play park was nice and the children enjoyed it. Didn't use the shop, but the lady at reception was very pleasant on arrival. Very clean, grass kept short, nice location and close to local attractions (we visited flamingo land and playdale farm park which were both within about 15mins) Would definitely visit again.

This is a large busy camp site but manages to stay quiet.
The facilities are good - 6 showers per gender and lots of toilets. The only real bug bear we had was that leaving time was 11.30am and the washing up area and toilets etc were closed from 11 - 12.15! There were lots of families trying to do last minute washing up and last trips to the loo before they closed.
There is an excellent play area and even a fish and chip van which visits on Saturday evening.
There is a large field to the rear which houses the tents. This is really huge field and all the tents are fairly well spread out round the sides.
We visited on a very windy day and there is much more shelter to the front of the field -we were unfortunately at the back and we thought for a while we would not be able to put up our tent. The wind died down at the right time and it was fine. The play area and caravan park is much better sheltered.
There is a noise curfew which was adhered to apart from a couple of families in the caravan area. Treking to the toilet block at 1am this morning I was treated to the best night sky I have seen in this country. There is very little light pollution and it was a real treat.
This is a good camp site and good value for money. It is in a lovely part of the world and we will definitely visit again.

Stunning camp site. Every facility is top spec. Its away from busy roads and not much nearby but boy what a site. Its great just to walk around it and everyone is so friendly. Just felt that the shop could have stocked a wee bit more in the way of general items, but it is stocked with enough to keep you going. I really cant say a bad word about it to be honest.

Originally we were going to Spiers House, but arrived Bank Holiday w/end to find the forest alight and soon after the site had to be evacuated!
Went to Tourist Info in Pickering who were very helpful and they directed us to this site after first ringing to see if there was space.
They said no problem just turn up. Tents go onto big rally field - bit of a walk to the showers/pot wash but I needed the exercise!
Kids thought it was great, space to ride bikes around and play various games. People friendly and shop was well stocked with essentials, and some things that we had forgotten like a kettle (DUH!)
Handy for coast and attractions.
Would definitely go back.
