Reviewer: TEFLONTIM87 3 reviews from this member

 Great site. Stayed here many times over last couple of years. Derrick and his wife are fantastic hosts and owners, he's got a great 'dry' sense of humour.

Site is continually being developed but retains that local charm. Still operates as a working farm and our dogs love it as there are so many walks. Showers and toilets clean. Well stocked shop with lots of local food.

If you want a special treat try and book into the log cabin. Showers to die for! Combination of permanent tourer pitches, tourer pitches and cabin sites. You can also leave your van in storage for small charge per night. A lot of walkers use it as a stop over while walking Wolds Way, not unknown for Derrick to cook them all breakfast!

Only small downside for me, is I like a pub to walk to, and nearest one is a couple of miles.

Reviewer: Aconiston 3 reviews from this member

 This is an excellent well run site with amazing views. Very good shower block and disabled facilities. Separate room with microwaves, tv and wash up facilities, fridge and freezer which is an added bonus. The ground is very hard so be prepared with heavy duty pegs and hammer. It can be very windy which can be a problem if you pitch at the front for the best view but there are more sheltered options and it is a lovely place to be and only a mile off the A64. Plenty to do in the immediate area and good walking from the site.

 We arrived on site around 5pm on a Friday evening. We were part of a group of 13 friends plus 15 children. We were welcomed in reception with a friendly face and given all the relevant information. We were shown were the various facilities were and I and were we were to pitch our tents.

The facilities were very good plenty for the size of the site. They were clean and tidy and the showers were refreshing and hot just what you need on cool September morning.

We found the shop was stocked with all the necessities.

The playground was put to good use by all the children of thee various ages and they enjoyed all the space they had to play rugby and football and a bit of chase. Even the adults(men) enjoyed the space to run about and play sport with the children.

We will definitely be returning to this site next year.

We also took advantage of the use of the dog kennels which cost us £5 for the full day the dogs were supplied with water and were checked on regularly a very good plus point if you are heading off to a less dog friendly place for the day.

Reviewer: Purplegiraffes 1 review from this member

 This was a short break of just 2 nights but we were made extremely welcome. Unfortunately, as should be expected of a Wold Top location it was blowing an absolute gale! The very hard ground made it difficult to pitch and yes you will need some tough pegs and 2 hammers (we broke our first one).

The day room contains a fridge freezer both free to use but the freezer is stuffed with far too many ice packs considering how many pitches were occupied. Microwave also available for use and a TV to entice the children to wash up - great idea!
The toilet and shower facilities are ready for upgrading but were very clean, liked the idea of an easy access room and a bathroom is a great addition to the facilities.
The animals are a great distraction for all! The lamb must be paid to escape and be 'herded' back into the field by apprentice shepherds / campers. The shop was good and supplied lots of goodies and ice creams. Views - out of this world. A warm welcome from Derek.
For us the weather spoilt it - high winds forecast put us off staying another night and as I write this it is blowing a hoolie outside at sea level so heaven knows what it is like up there! Ooh and another point for plane enthusiasts - the jet fighters fly over so low you can wave at the pilots.
Overall a lovely site, good location. Beware the Lavender Tea Rooms - stroppy staff and high prices for poor food - what a shame - glad we drove there and didn't risk the 1.5m walk! We will be back once we have got a good forecast!

Reviewer: Jayandruth 6 reviews from this member

 This site is brilliant, very helpful and friendly owners. The pitch sizes are generous and not regimental, but make sure you take a good supply of rock pegs as the ground is very rocky. The site shop is fully stocked with everything from bread to beer and bbq meat which is all locally produced and is lovely. The views from this site are breathtaking. The animal corner is fantastic for children as they are encouraged to feed the various animals at 6pm every evening.The kids play area is basic but safe and well maintained.

The showers, toilets and washing up area is kept spotless and the family rooms have baths

Which is good for the kids. On this site there is a room which has 2 microwaves, coffee machine,television and a fridge freezer which you can put your ice packs in, all these facilities are free.

The location of this site is about a 20 minute drive to the coast to which you can explore Scarborough, Bridlington, Filey and Whitby. All this towns have excellent amenities, supermarkets, pubs, restaurants etc.

Reviewer: Garygadge 1 review from this member

 Fantastic site with wonderful owners! Stayed for a week in the middle of the field which can get very windy! putting the pegs into the ground can be hard work as it seems to be rock under 2 inches of soil.

Had a group of four tents turn up one of the days, very noisy bunch The facilities are excellent, plenty of hot showers, plenty of toilets, a family bathroom with corner bath, a family room with large shower and an easy access shower room. There is a washing machine and dryer that are both coin operated at the back of the facility building.
The shop sells all the basics that you would need and they even stock cheap kids drinks and sweets, not out to make a huge profit which is a great thing. The road up to the site is about a mile long, tarmac then gravel which is rather bumpy to say the least but don't let that put you off, it is well worth it when you get to the site.
Most GPS systems will try and take you up a dirt path, but there is a sign for the site at the bottom of the approach road. Will definitely be visiting again.

Reviewer: Puppeteers 2 reviews from this member

 Facilities were excellent(toilets and showers the best we have come across).The owners are very friendly and helpful. Lovely views of surrounding area, the site is ideal for local attractions(Eden Camp 20 mins away, Flamingoland 30 mins away) similar times to reach coast. Shop on site well stocked and reasonable prices.

With site being on top of hill it can be a little breezy, but it is worth putting up with just for the corner bath in the shower block.

Reviewer: Dwdjp 2 reviews from this member

 For my very first caravan holiday what a place to go to I took my wife and 2 kids 1 is 14 and the other is 6 I never saw my 6 year old whenever we were at the camp site he was always with the animals or the play area. Toilets were always clean no matter what time you went too them the only thing I can pull it down for was sometimes the area was a bit over crowded.

I will definitely be going back

Reviewer: Gillian Needham 1 review from this member

 Stayed for 3 nights at Wolds Way (2 adults and a large greyhound). Had awning and hook up.

First impression was that the site packed - but the site coped very well with this. The toilet and shower facilities were very clean although one female toilet was out of action. We were placed with the touring caravans and were fairly close to the facilities which included a well stocked shop and laundry facilities; a room which housed two sinks for washing up - a fridge and freezer, tv, and 3 microwaves; I believe there was also a drinks machine in here. All were spotless.

Friendly owners and site assistant who could not do enough for you. Ground a little hard as previous reviews have mentioned. Views from the site were out of this world.

The campsite was very peaceful during the night. Will definitely return shortly - enjoyed every minute. Perfect for the children with the farm animal contact. Ideal dog walking areas. Well done Wolds Way.

Reviewer: Badwolf 2 reviews from this member

 I have to say that this must be one of the most relaxed campsites I have had the pleasure to stay on.We stayed for a week and have to say did not want to leave. The facilities in my opinion are second to none - hot showers, baths for the kids, very clean and tidy toilets and wash areas. Washing up was a pleasure being inside, a proper home from home.

The staff are friendly and only to happy to help, the shop maybe small but it is well stocked.

The kids loved feeding the animals, I don't think I have ever hand fed a bull, but this one loves the digestive biscuits.

The field is brilliant, the views are spectacular. Ok so the ground is a little hard due to the chalk, better than trying to pitch you tent on soggy ground.

We shall certainly return here, what with four seaside towns within easy reach and some great pubs / restaurants locally ( the Ganton Inn is well worth a stop). All in all we have had a brilliant time, and look forward to our visit

 This is a great site on top of a hill, with fantastic views into the distance. The facilities are excellent, with plenty of toilets, free showers and family rooms - very clean. There is also a shop on site selling a lot of things you may need. Children have a playground (keeping our 2 entertained) and they are also encouraged to help feed the lambs twice a day.

Only niggles were the hard ground which bent our tent pegs, and a noisy cow which made a lot of strange noises throughout the night, keeping us awake :-(

Apart from this, great site which we would fully recommend.

Reviewer: 2JPS 1 review from this member

 Just got back from a fantastic short stay on this site. Despite the really bad weather in Leeds we braved the journey on Friday afternoon and got lucky. We originally phoned to cancel, however we were advised the weather was fine.

Arrived at the site about 430 with a warm dry welcome, even managed to order papers for the next two days which the owners collect for you. Was given an initial show around the sites facilities and was very impressed. Wash room was indoors in a nice warm room with three microwaves, hot drinks machine (£0.50p), Fridge & freezer and a TV. Although there is only two sinks, we never had to wait and was sufficient for the site. The toilet & shower facilities were excellent, very clean and well maintained. For anyone with a small family there are three family bathrooms with baths and showers in each. No stupid push button showers, these are just like home and plenty of pressure and very hot.

The site is located at the top of hill off the A64 to start with a nice smooth newly laid road, until you get half way and then its a rubble road for the rest of the way. The scenery at the top is fantastic, you are surrounded by corn fields, but the views are second to none, don’t forget your camera. There are also picnic benches around the site next to the farm animals, including horses, cows, bulls, sheep, hens and a cockerel and not forgetting the many rabbits.

On the whole this is a fantastic site and great value for money, has a nice atmosphere and secure feeling about the place. Ideally located to visit the different places at the coast, it’s only 15 mins to get to Scarborough.

We were very satisfied customers and will be definitely be returning with family and friends.

 What a fantastic site! Just spent 6 nights here and had a wonderful time. The first 4 nights we had the whole tent fiend to ourselves, over the weekend it was full but still plenty of space for everyone! The site is situated just off the A64 although there is no traffic noise due to the fact that it is situated at the top of a hill reached by a long driveway. The views are spectacular - across the Vale of Pickering but it can be a bit blustery due to the location. I would recommend rock pegs as the ground is very hard and stony but the pitches are on the whole nice and flat with good grass and plenty of taps and electric points.

The facilities are without doubt the best I have ever come across on a campsite - three loos, six washbasins, three showers in the ladies as well as two large unisex family rooms one with a corner bath and loo and the other with a shower, bath & loo. Showers/baths are free. There is also a unisex easy access shower. The washing up facilities are superb - a huge room with 2 sinks, loads of hot water, use of 3 microwaves, a coffee machine (50p), free use of large fridge freezer and even a TV! All the facilities were spotlessly clean - liquid soap, paper towels all provided and replaced frequently. Behind the shower block is a small laundry with washing machines and tumble driers with a nominal charge for the use of these.

On site there was a small playground for the children and an area in the middle of the tent field for ball games etc. The shop had a good range of essential food items plus extras such as airbeds and tent pegs! We were given a warm welcome by the owners and staff - very helpful and friendly. There were lambs to feed, cattle who loved digestive biscuits! (take plenty with you - the children adore the animals!).

The surrounding area is beautiful - we visited Scarborough one evening (a short drive away0 and looked around the nearby towns of Malton and Pickering. Flamingoland provided a very popular day trip and was only 15 mins away while an interesting visit was made to Eden Camp. There are no pubs within easy walking distance but the local village has a couple of good pubs selling good food.

All in all we had a fantastic time and would recommend the site and the area to anyone.

Reviewer: Bezzers1986 1 review from this member

 Having just spent a week at this site we must say it is one of the best we have been to. The facilities are excellent, and always seemed to be clean.

It was lovely to see all the animals including the lambs (which I helped feed on one night) and the piglets. The views from the campsite and the road leading up are incredible.

Shop was well stocked (though opening times were a bit sporadic), especially recommend trying the sausages and burgers on the BBQ.

The only criticism we had for the site was the road leading to it, but looking at the piles of tar, and the first section they look to be improving it.

The owners are very friendly and extremely helpful.

We will be heading back!

 Just returned from a four day break at this site. What fantastic hosts, Derek and Carol will go out of there way to make sure you have a great stay, nothing is too much trouble.

Toilet and washing facilities are up there with the best in the uk, very clean.

The shop sells all the basics needed, plus beautiful home made cakes. Other nice touches are the use of microwaves, toasters, and a drinks machine which does great hot chocolate for the kids.

The site itself is very family orientated, with breath taking views of the countryside.An ideal base for Flamingo land,Whitby, Scarborough.

Go to this site if you want a quiet family break set in tranquil surroundings, I will definitely be returning.
