 Just came back from 4 nights at this site. When we arrived we were taken to the tent field by a friendly member of staff and given our choice of the pitches. We found the field very pleasant with good tree shelter and views of the lake and surrounding countryside. There is plenty of wildlife around so be prepared to chase away a few cheeky ducks at mealtimes & watch the fantastic aeroBATics display every evening.
The toilet/shower facilities were excellent, kept very clean and close to the field. There was also a good washing up area with 2 sinks, washer, dryer, iron and ironing board. All the facilities are well thought out as the site caters for everyone.
The site doesn't just offer the house and gardens as attractions although they are amazing and must be visited. The site has a number of nice walks and is central to be able to do day trips either to the Historic City of York or to the East coast .
The small town of Malton is 10mins away so not to worry if anything is forgotten as they have a well stocked morrisons & other shops.
If there is a down point it is that the village no longer has a public house to visit in the evenings or any other to walk to for either a beverage or hot meal, the nearest being 4 miles away.
All in all a great time had by everyone and we
Will be definitely be going again.

We have just got back from a great weekend at the Castle Howard Caravan site. We are already planning our next weekend there.
We arrived to be greeted by both managers who instantly knew who we were before we even said our names. The booking in procedure was so simple, we didn't even leave the car, mainly as we had paid up front the full amount. I would point out that when I booked the lady on the phone could not have been nicer.
We had a lovely pitch really close to the Great Lake. The toilets etc are located about 50 feet away so it didn't take long to get set up.
The toilet block was very clean and the showers were lovely, just like a power shower. If I had to pick a fault it would be that the shower cubicle was a Bit small for a gentleman of my size.
On the Saturday we went to Castle Howard for the day. Remember to take your booking form with you as it will save you a considerable amout on the entrance fee. This was a great afternoon as we walked around the garden and played on the play area at the castle. Our five year old totally loved the whole place and found loads of exciting areas to explore.
The Nursery garden centre adjacent to the car park at Castle Howard is brilliant and very reasonable from a price point of view. Dont miss it.
Our parents had visited the castle with us and they wanted to come back to the caravan site. This was no problem and even better no charge.
This site's main advantage over many others is that it is so peaceful and relaxing. Don't come here if you want a pub on site and load music. This is more for the relaxing caravanner and long may it remain unchanged.
The other plus is that they actually give you plently of room. A lot of sites will cram you in and have you touching your neighbour. Not this site. Well done and we will be back.
Not the easiest place to get to but manageable.
Very reasonably priced.

Upon arrival had to wait about 15 minutes for the lady at reception to arrive so we could book in. Showed us to the field and let us have our pick of the pitches. Decided to pitch by the rather large tree at the bottom of the field. Had loads of space. Showers free and mostly clean but I found they were too hot and had no thermostat control so my 4 and 6 year old girls found it far too hot. Heaven for me though.
Lovely area. Right near the lake. The static part is excellently kept. Couldn't fault it at all. Yes the shops are far away but it is a lovely drive. Excellent value for money at £15.50 per night for 2 adults, 2 kids, tent and car. Beware though it does get very very dark at night. We were warned about this when we booked but thought yeah it gets dark everywhere but it really is dark! Especially under the tree.
Had a thoroughly lovely time and we managed to stay another night as it was so lovely.

We have just returned from this site having camped there for the Proms weekend. We were unable to get a hook-up as they were booked by March, we thought our June booking would be early enough! The booking-in procedure was smooth and the friendly gentleman at the site showed us to our pitch.
Even though the weather was mostly dreadful for August the field farthest from the amenities block had good drainage and we were not waterlogged. The surroundings are beautiful and at night very peaceful except for some ageing revellers who kept us young folk awake!
We were aware that we were three miles from the nearest pub and several from the nearest shops but one has to take this into consideration and shop in advance accordingly.
My only concern in thinking about using the site again is the lack of facilities. We think the site is more catered toward the static caravan and I must say this area was superb. Those of us who camp have four toilets / showers per sex and only two pot wash sinks. This is inadequate and sadly detracts from what could be a first class site.

Stayed here in July. We were seeing meatloaf on the friday night at castle howard and made a long weekend of it.
Campsite was great. Showers / toilets extremely clean (and free). In the washing up room there was even washer / dryer / iron (you paid for these facilities) very useful to have on hand though. Ice pack freezing was available in reception (30p) per block, they also sold milk.
Campsite is in good location, right on the side of the castle howard lake, we paid £9 each to fish this for 1 day! very extortionate for the state of the lake, would recommend looking elsewhere locally.
Some nice attractions locally, lickering, dalby forest, scarborough to name a few.
Visit the farm shop at castle howard, we bought some of castle howard's own aberdeen angus steak which was reasonably priced and tasted amazing on the BBQ. You can visit the farm shop without paying entrance to the castle.
Would definitely consider this site again if we staying in the area again

We stayed at this campsite purely by chance. The greating was lovely and friendly and very helpful. We were next to the shower block but that was not a problem as the pitches are a good size so there was plenty of space. Showers and toilets are good and clean.
Ideally situated next to Castle Howard (which is lovely) and the surrounding hills for a good walk or bike ride. No there isn't a shop but we didn't need one as there's plenty of small villages around for you to ride / walk to.
I would definitly stay here again.

This site is perfectly located if you are attending a concert at Castle Howard, as we were. However, the downside is that they were full, with 90 campers and all caravan pitches full. We were unlucky enough to get a very wet and waterlogged pitch (no.19), which became even muddier over the course of the weekend, resulting in us being towed off by the Warden at the end of our stay. These pitches really aren't suitable for caravans as the ground is not free draining and the water has no where to go. The pitches with gravel seemed to be occupied by tourers in for the season.
The pitches are also very close together, resulting in the next door persons car being about 4ft from our caravan window. Not good by Caravan Club standards.
There are 4 toilets and 4 showers for each gender in a log cabin style building - clean but not a lot of room in the showers.
As others say, no shop or childrens play facilities on site, but great for a walk around the lake or up to Catsle Howard (15 mins onfoot).

Stayed here over the spring weekend bank holiday break. It is a beautiful campsite and has a really lovely feel to it - although it is quite a basic site.
The toilet facilities are ok, the showers are hot and powerful but they could do with modernisation as you feel like you are at a festival and in a mobile unit.
There is no shop on site but there is one not too far away, although not within walking distance, and it isnt really for basics but does do some lovely homegrown fruits and also varieties of wine.
The campsite is regularly patrolled and feels secure.
Unfortunately our break was marred by a group of campers who really had no consideration for anybody else - shouting late into the night, and rising early - again shouting! The wardens made no effort to ask for quiet and this really let them down.
The dog field is quite small but you are ideally located in the Howardian hills and there are many walks around the campsite to keep the canine friends happy.
The location is very rural, beautiful countryside and right in the middle of the Castle Howard estate. Worth a visit despite some shortcomings.

Experienced a fantastic visit to this site at Easter 2008. We were warmly welcomed by the site managers David and Lynn.
The view of Castle Howard is splendid and all pitches are truely lakeside.
There is a designated dog walking field and public footpaths lead directly from the village.
The toilets and showers were warm and clean and included in the pitch price.
A great site for a long or short stay.

Just come back from our 3rd or 4th trip to this site and nice to see that it is still the same. Its a fabulous place with plenty of nice walks to do around the Castle Estate. The staff are on hand to help out but dont seem very pleased if you just turn up on the off chance without booking, dont know why as the field had plenty of spaces. Will probably book in the future to avoid this though.
As other reviewers have said, the wildlife is fantastic, made the desperate 5.30am trip to the loo worthwhile, seeing plenty of rabbits, ducklings and a Heron on the way back.
We had a bit of a tent disaster and had to leave one day early but we have been offered a free night in the future instead of a refund which is absolutely fine as we will definitely be back again!
