 Very good site will visit again. Great for kids small shop on site and a park. Shower blocks very clean and showers are hot,(not too hot for kids) also a bath which comes in handy for little ones very good sized pitches.
Overall good site for long weekends away. Site also has a fish & chip van on a Saturday evening and you can order your daily newspaper from the shop.
Site is clean & tidy and well maintained
Off site there is a pizza shop, Chinese, Indian takeaway. It is about half hour drive to Scarborough if you fancy a day out, it is also close to flamingo land.

Just got back from two nights on this site. We would go back,it was well kept, clean toilets (and three bath cubicles in the ladies, very handy when you have toddlers!). Baths were a pound, showers were free. Also had a baby changing unit cubicle.
On arrival the lady in the office was lovely, a warm reception.
Theres a small shop selling a range of things from camping goods to grocerys and toys.
The park is more suited to older children than our two year old but she loved the tractor and the general space to run around.
Took us about 15-20 min to drive to Scarborough sea front.
Cost £14.50 per night with electric.
Recycling on site and plenty of bins.
Would recommend and return.

This was our 2nd time to this camp site and this time we brought our friend who have a young child and are new to caravanning. We had a nice break and the facilities were clean and well maintained and with a friendly welcome made the stay all that much better.
It is in a great location for the coastal towns of Scarborough, Whitby and Bridlington and the adventure of Dalby Forest with its walks and bike trails, there is also Pickering which is the start of the old steam railway.
The only problem we both had was that the electric hook ups kept tripping under normal use so not sure what the Amp rating is (not advertised) and we did not have this problem the first time we visited, so could have been due to a bit of damp and lack of use as we did go at the start of the season.
Over all great short break.

It was our first visit and we loved it, As you drive up the lane to site it looks lovely flowers and well kept lawns, we was made very welcome by the young lady on reception and pointed us in the direction to our pitch and was asked if we would be ok setting up.
We set off with a map and found pitch easy and it was huge and very flat. On the map is the toilet / shower block and wash rooms and was all very very clean and free, there was irons and boards and washing machines which we didn't use but others did and all seemed fine.
Great play area our son 5 and Daughter 12 thought they was great, every one on site was polite and in a happy mood and this carried on for our whole week, there was no noise at night and no drunks it was a well run site. Although it's about 15 mins walk to nearest pub and a car drive to nearest super market there is an information type office on site with loads of info about the area for things to do and there is a few take aways that deliver to the site so you can have a little drink at night and get a chinese or pizza delivered and just relax at night. We loved the place and would def go back and we are going back next yr.

My wife and I booked this site back in June based on the number of excellent reviews on this website and to be honest the camp site was actually better than our expectations already were.
The grounds are immaculately well kept, with the grass being cut at least once a week. The tent pitches are numbered up and are well spaced, flat and thankfully stone-free.
The toilet blocks were amazingly tidy too, cleaned out everyday at 11:30, free showers with unlimited hot water (6off), proper wash basins, some with private cubicles (8off) and even a private bath cubicle for £1.
We purposely avoided the the school holidays to ensure a quieter break and it certainly was quiet, plenty of other campers and caravanner but everybody was just so pleasant :o)
Got a little busier on the weekend with campers but despite the number of families and children there was still no issues or noise.
The lady who looks after the site was so helpful too and it was no problem for us to extend our 7day stay by a further 2days. Well September has seen the best weather this summer.
Must visit places include; Scarborough, Whitby, Filey, Robin Hood Bay and Pickering.
And for a lovely Sunday lunch you can't go wrong visiting the Grapes Inn just 2mile from the site on the Scarborough Road.
Just wish this site was a little closer to home as we'd be there several time a year, but will definitely be back soon though.

I have stayed at this site three times. Once in a caravan with family (girly week)and twice in a tent with my partner and some of our friends.
Good Points - clean toilets / showers (two of my stays were at busy times and I had to wait ten min for a shower, but there was plenty of hot water)
Good shop has all the little things you may have forgot to pack, decent play area. Able to take the dog.
Bad points - first time in the tent we were placed at the end of the field out the way which was great. The second time we were more in the middle and it was a more noisier (just general camp noise)and busier.
We walked to the local pub (about ten minutes away) it started to rain and they allowed us to take the dog in the snug (he fell asleep next to the fire) had a really good meal and a pleasant walk back (after the rain)plenty of car park space if you want to drive up
Good location for Pickering Steam Train, Dalby Forest and Scarborough. Also worth a look - thornton le dale (lovely little village just up the road)
Would go back

Visited this site with some friends (their 1st time camping!) and we couldn't have wished for a more enjoyable / pleasant and most important clean site to have stayed at over the weekend.
Our pitch (inc EHU) was the best we have stayed on by far (and we have stayed at a few!) The ground was level, neatly kept and plenty of room between tents.
The facilities include a well kept,maintained toilet/shower block with lovely hot flowing water( not like the trickle of water which we have experienced on other sites!)
The site had a small shop with all the main essential needed, with friendly staff to help. There was a small playground on site for smaller children and also an grassed area for older children just outside the main entrance, for the more football / cricket fanatic!
Although there were no bar or clubhouse on site, this didn't stop us having one of the most enjoyable weekends away camping and will definitely be visiting again!

We have come back from here this saturday and all I can say is fab fab fab, The kids can go out and don't need to worry about them at all. All the staff are very nice and helpful The site is very clean. The showers and toilets are also very clean.There is a shop there on the site.
It would be better for the kids if there was more for them to do. But the play area was good my 4 year old loved it. He went out in the morning and didn't want to come in again. So yes we will be going back again. Loved it so much.

Just returned from this campsite - we stayed by coincidence at the same time as the Pickering Steam Rally and the site was very very busy. However it stayed very tidy and there was no noise after 11pm, it really is a lovely rural area with no road noise. Can recommend the Cayley Arms, friendly staff and lovely food. Ideal location for the seaside resorts of Whitby, Scarborough Filey and Bridlington and the beautiful north yorkshire moors are a short drive away.
We camped on the rally field, and my only grumble is that we could smell drains intermittently, and the toilet and shower block were quite a walk away, if the rally field is regularly full it should really have maybe just a loo for the field campers.
Really good playground for those with children but there were quite a few groups of older children using it so little ones would benefit from having a parent about.
All in all not a bad campsite, but perhaps a little too busy for us that particular weekend.

We only booked with 1 days notice and were a bit sceptical as this is only our second time under the stars. (or clouds). We ( wife and 2 girls of 5 and 8) stayed 2 nights, and now wished we had booked for longer, really nice staff greeted and took us to our pitch on the rally field, the pitches are very large and spacious with no neighbours to overlook you. The setting of the pitches meant there was ample room left for the kids to play on, that is when we could drag them out of the very impressive park. There is a small shop but it has all the things you forget. The shower/bath toilet block was exceptionally clean and well maintained. The only downside is there is not a lot to see near to the site, any site seeing will be done via a car journey, this didn't bother us as we wanted to see as much of the area as we could. Great weekend and will definitely be going again.

We have just returned from 2 weeks at this site.
The pitches were really spacious. We still had space on our hard standing with 6 berth caravan, awning + annexe and our car. The hardstanding pitches are stone chippings and you will need rock pegs.
The playground was really well equipped. Our 7 year old was there all the time and it was very popular.
The site was very full when we were there but it didn't feel overcrowded. The toilet and shower block was great. Lovely free hot showers with loads of hooks and things to hang your soaps and towels. Only had to queue a couple of times and both times was less than 5 minutes wait.
The shop although small seemed to sell everything from pegs, airbeds, electric hook up plugs to milk, bread and good balls for our mad dog who kept losing his in the stream!
The dog walk is a big open field with a football pitch one side and a walk around the edge along a quite fast flowing but shallow stream. Fantastic if your dog likes ball games as you can throw it a really long way! Also fantastic if your dog is not that good around other dogs as you have a clear view of anyone else around. There is also a wooded walk just outside the park which is lovely too and was very well maintained. (there is a small map of this walk available in reception)
There are plenty of dog waste bins and rubbish bins / waste disposal points around the site. We were also lucky enough to have an electric hook up point with a tap so we got mains water too as an unexpected bonus.
We didn't have great weather but even when it rained heavily we had no standing water on our pitch and it didn't get muddy.
We visited Robin Hoods bay which was lovely but busy, Filey south beach was nice and also dog friendly.
We had a lovely walk from Sutton Bank visitors centre off the A170 near the double hairpin bends. (caravans are banned on this route and you can see why when you drive it!)
You do need a car to get around but we knew this when we booked. There is a Sainsbury's in Scarborough and a big Morrisons on the A64 going out of Scarborough. The nearest shops are the Costcutter in Thorton Le Dale and a Co-op in Pickering.
Great site, there were a few noisy children out very early one morning shouting around the caravans but apart from that it was surprisingly quiet. Would thoroughly recommend it.

I have just returned from 11 nights at this site and I will definitely be going back what a great site! all the pitch's both tents and vans were level and well drained with plenty of space there were plenty of water and rubbish collection points which were emptied frequently.
Though we don't have kids there was a very good play area for them and a large field for ball games which also doubled up as a dog walking area with a path provided around the side of the field. The site shop was open all day with a good range of supplies both food and drink and camping spares.
The toilet block was clean and though the site was busy I never had to wait for a shower which were free I might add, there was even a bath! though a charge was made for this. Washing up facilities were clean and tidy but queues did sometimes form perhaps more sinks are needed in that area.
Locally ie Allerston village though very pretty had no shops of its own and only one pub which could only be reached by crossing the very busy A170 (the bar meals though a bit pricey were very good)
All in all a superb site handy for visiting any number of attractions in N Yorkshire

Excellent site - have stayed here 3 times now in the last couple of months. One of our favourites!
Toilets and shower block are excellent, always clean and tidy, lots of hot water, just great facilities.
Always lots of room for tents, don't feel cramped together, even when they were very full this weekend.
Owners and staff very welcoming. Shop on site is very good, stocks all your essentials - even wine and beer at reasonable prices.
Park is great for the kids.
Owners even let us stay all day Sunday for no extra charge. All round excellent park.

Just stayed here for a week. Facilities are pretty good. There is a shop selling a small, but adequate range of food, papers, toys, camping equipment etc. The wardens are friendly on arrival. The toilet block is big enough to serve the needs of the site - it has free showers (although you have to push a button every 12 secs to keep the water going) and free hair dryers (although you have to keep pushing a button and they are pretty slow) and baths which are charged at £1. There are laundry, microwave and freezer facilities. The playground is excellent.
Tent pitches are either on the rally field, along a hedge stretch or by the caravans with electric hook up. We were along the hedge. It was flat which was great. The downside was, that despite my friends asking when they booked us in if it was used by dog walkers and being assured that all dogs are on leads and follow the dog walking route out of the entrance to the site, walkers do take dogs along the short gravel road and out to the dog walking area. Many of the dogs we observed were not on leads, and most of them did their business before getting to the dog walking field. This isn't that pleasant - we like dogs, but considering we'd been allocated an area where we were told it wouldn't be a problem, unfortunately it was. All that is needed to rectify the problem is a sign asking dog walkers to keep their animals on leads (which is a site regulation) and to follow the dog walking route. A similar sign is up in front of the rally field.

Just returned after spending our 3rd camping trip at the Vale of Pickering. The site on the whole has lots to offer and, as we were initially, I can imagine many visitors would be reasonably impressed with the site. However, after several visits there are a few less positive elements we have noticed.
Positives –
-Spacious flat pitches, pleasant surroundings (green and generally well maintained grounds).
-Comfortable toilet blocks with plenty of toilets, family bathrooms, free showers and plentiful hot water.
-Well stocked shop with generous opening hours and information cabin with lots of information about local area and attractions.
-Generous children’s playing area and playing field for ball games and kite flying.
-Easy booking and check in arrangements.
Negatives –
-Many dog owners take a short cut past the hedgerow pitches (I, J, K onwards) in order to access dog walking area (no banking or fence is in place to prevent this). Many owners let their dogs loose early. Dogs regularly urinated on the grass and tents.
-No electric points in shower block (although free hairdryers are provided, they provide very poor air flow. It took 40 minutes and umpteen button presses to dry my daughters and my own hair!).
-Some older trees close to tents require substantial maintenance – large dead branches.
-Although playground area is generous, be aware that it can become extremely busy during the evenings/weekends.
