 New owners who were very friendly and helpful. They had been touring caravan owners for many years and fell in love with this small holding so were given first refusal if ever this came up for sale. Having read previous reviews it seems they have made some improvements to the toilet facilities bearing in mind this is a ccc certified site which often are without any facilities. If you are dog owners this is the place to be. A dog walk which opens out into a large wood is ideal and Thornton le dale is picture perfect with two pubs both dog friendly and good food (ate in both) we will be returning to this site as it has everything we require and more

Ideal small caravan site with two toilet and shower areas and washing up sink. Electric etc. Short walk to shops, pubs (good food) lovely country side and much more in this lovely area. Can be tight for large outfits, pitches are small, so recommend mentioning to owner if you have large caravan to ascertain how many vans are on site as we struggled and were the only touring visitors. Separate area for tents. Owner also provides facilities for cyclists including pressure washer and cycle hire. Very welcoming and helpful.

We stayed at camp site for 6 nights 3 adults
The field is small but quite flat it only holds 10 tents so nice and cosy
Toilet blocks are clean and showers very good loads of hot water and toilet paper replaced every day
Thornton le dale is a fab place load to see plenty of places to eat and drink
The site is a great base to see the Yorkshire moors Helmsley robin hoods bay Whitby and the rest of the coast
Bus from the village to most places if you don't want to take the car
The owners dad is a very pleasant man
Only one thing not too pleased about the geese can get a little bit noisy at times, but we lived with it and came to enjoy the sounds after a while.

we were greeted by a very friendly and helpful Paul on arrival, who made us welcome immediately and showed us all the facilities.
The toilets and showers etc etc where spotless. The campsite itself is situated in a lovely area, with shops 2 minutes away and 3 great pubs, which serve fantastic food. I can honestly think of anything to complain about and we all really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be staying there again

The campsite is in a great location, perfect for walking around the village. The tent pitches are reasonably sized width ways though only just wide enough for a car to drive up the middle of field to get to each of the pitches. Could be a bit tight getting cars in and out.
Yes there were geese but it didn't really bother us. The biggest issue for me was the very basic facilities. To have toilets without hand washing facilities really puts me off. There is an unplumbed in shower base and what appears to be space for a basin but that is as far as the work has got still. Similar to other reviewers I was disappointed that in the toilet where there was a basin, no soap or hand drying facilities were provided. We found the toilet and shower near reception but felt rather awkward trying to brush my teeth at the basin which was in the reception lobby.
Given the cost of the site I would expect the facilities to be a bit better.

Well after choosing this site because of previous reviews I must say we were very disappointed. First of all to be charged £33 a night for 4 of us I would think warrants at least usable facilities this was not the case there was one unisex shower with a toilet then another cabin with 2 toilets in but no wash sink, the shower toilet did not in the 5 nights we stayed get cleaned or restocked there was no soap or towels the whole time this lack of facilities meant that even though the site wasn't full there was still a queue of 5 people in the mornings. There is 1 dish washing sink which is outside.
There is a reception at the side of the house but it isn't manned and there is no information at all about the site or the local area which we found unusual.
The field for the tents is back to back with a goose and chicken pen which means if you like a bit of peace and quiet is very unlikely as the geese and chickens seem to rise at about 6 a. M and don't settle until late evening.
The location of the site is excellent being right in the village giving access to lots of different parts of Yorkshire through local transport, we found the local nisa very good but went into Pickering to a large coop to stock up on BBQ meats

We booked this site due to its location to the Dalby Forest as we were there for the concerts at the weekend
The site owner is very friendly and the tent pitches are very flat and of a very generous size.
There are 2 separate toilet/shower rooms, together with another block which has 2 toilets and a shower which is still under construction (reading previous reviews this has been 'nearly finished' for quite some time.
Electric hook ups were available
It's location to the village of Thornton Dale is excellent only a 2 minute walk away, where there are 3 pubs and a very nice fish and chip shop
With regard to the Dalby Forest yes it is only 2 miles to the main gate, however it is a further 4. 5 miles to the concert venue. It is certainly not walkable unless you are an ardent walker and want to walk home on an unlit road with no pavements. Taxis were are all booked up, and the only way I'd recommend travelling to the concert venue is by car (and be prepared for mayhem and a long wait to exit the car park after)
All in all though this is a lovely little site and we will definitely be returning.
One slight drawback is there is no facility to pay by card. So make sure you arrive with cash

Highly recommended. Great location, very short walk into Thornton-le-Dale village with shops & 3 excellent pubs. Lots to do with a choice of short and long walks. The site is very friendly, good size pitches with great views. The area is very relaxed and all the family had a fantastic time. It's not so big to be crowded either. Extra toilet facilities were just being finished on our visit but didn't cause any issues. Although the weather was good, the fact we could put up our gazebo was good (just in case). Being able to use our bbq as a fire later on kept the great atmosphere going into the evening. Certain to go back.

We have just returned from another visit to Prospect Farm.
We stayed Monday - Thursday and surprisingly had the tent field all to ourselves. We were also blessed with lovely weather which made our stay even more pleasurable.
The facilities are the same as our previous visit and review, but the second shower & toilet room is almost finished, which will be a definite bonus in busier times.
Paul and his family were friendly and welcoming as usual.
We're already looking forward to future visits.

Ok so I will get the horrible things out of the way first. The cockerel - for anyone who wants a little bit of a lie in, you won't. The cockerel cockadoodledoos about 4 and 6 am every morning! We did get back off the sleep though, you had to get used to the geese also making a right racket when they were having their battles.
When we first got to the camping site, there was no one to great us, so we had to pitch up not knowing if we were on the rite plot or not. Someone did come about 1 hour later who was lovely and helpful (the owners were away that night)
Also the toilet/shower facilities = 2 showers and 3 toilets. We only got told of the 2 toilets/1 shower so when we did find out about the other hidden toilet and shower we kept this quiet because they do not facilitate for how many campers/caravans there were. We managed though.
The owners were very friendly and helpful and the walk around the beautiful village of Thornton le Dale amazed us. It was beautiful, popped into a pub for lunch, where you can take your dog in so that was a perk for us.
I would definitely go back here because of the scenery but will take ear plugs for the alarm clock ready to go off in the early hours! oh, and look out for the small lizards, we got a lovely visitor on the last night - cute!
