 Lovely quiet campsite. Small but with large pitches some with hook ups. Basic but very clean up to date facilities which have been recently constructed. The owners are updating as they go along and more improvements will be made.
Owners very welcoming. If your a mountain biker/cyclist there is storage facilities on site. Which I used. If your a couple and hubby is into cycling and you want a quiet afternoon reading this site is ideal.
The site is geared (excuse the pun) towards Mountain Bikes with organised trips to Dalby Forest.
Its not a site for large noisy groups. Its based near to houses. The site for me was a return to the values of camping and will be returning in the near future.

We visited this site at a quiet time of year and arrived in the dark. The owner greeted us with torches which really helped with setting up. The actual caravan site is tiny but perfectly formed and right in the centre of the village. The facilities are basic but beautifully clean and a lot of thought has gone into providing extras such as jet washes for cleaning bikes etc.Our children are past the ages of using play parks on most sites but they loved the rope swing that was on the site- even in the dark and cold. This site will get better and better as the owners develop it and we look forward to returning.

Great, family friendly site, a hidden gem in N Yorks. Facilities still under development but plenty of notice given and plenty of wheezes around difficulties (the aforementioned showers are great value and hot water is available upon request.)
The owners obviously treat the site as an extension of their home both in the fab service they offer and the protectiveness that a calm pleasant family atmosphere is maintained.
Their two charming boys Henry and Thomas are always on hand to help or actively sell their farm produce ;-).
Brilliantly placed both for the local village shops and amenities and the area's tourist hotspots. Would highly recommend to all families!

Camped here for three nights; had booked E/H for the three nights and were told when we arrived that we couldn't have E/H as there was a 'technical fault'. Considering the lady had both mine and my partner’s mobile numbers-a quick common courtesy phone call to tell us the situation would have been appreciated! Having told her we would ring around to find a site with a hook-up she appeared with an E/H run off somewhere else-to which we were extremely appreciative.
After this initial hic-up our stay was fairly adequate.
One toilet for the whole site was a little frustrating-although this was kept clean. My partner wasn't too impressed with the additional porta-loo in the camping field, with a bucket to the side for 'used' toilet paper.
There was also no wash-up facility or hot water. The owners did however allow campers to use their downstairs shower in their house for £1. This was much appreciated if rather inconvenient.
Other families on the site were quite noisy, with lots of children and dogs it seemed. A few of the larger tents were drinking and shouting till the early hours-again this wasn't something that necessarily bothered us.
The village of Thornton-le-Dale was very picturesque; we particularly liked the New Inn pub and restaurant. There was a fish & chip shop and a small supermarket all very close to the site.

Prospect Farm, 'The Friendly Site' it really is, has room for 5 mobile units and a separate field for tents, the toilet facility is clean and the motor vans service area perfect, further improvements are pending by the owners, fresh eggs every evening brought round by charming children.
The local village Thornton-Le-Dale is picture perfect, really nice walks by the stream which runs through the village. The local shops a minute away include a butchers who will keep your purchases in their refrigerator for collection later while you continue shopping on a very hot day!
An hourly bus service to Pickering and Scarborough which you can use your bus pass.
We will visit the site again, YES.

Echo everything said in previous reviews. Super site run by a super, friendly family (Sue even apologised for the cold weather!) Went into the Buck on Friday night to watch the football, friendly place, no issues with taking the dog. The Friday and Saturday night saw campers enjoying drinks and chatting which was OK but did get a little noisy after midnight which I would not expect of a quiet site; this however, did not spoil our enjoyment.
Would certainly return, to try one of the walks we did not get chance to do

The location is just great, very close to the village centre where there were some lovely cafe's and two really nice pubs. The New Inn was warm and welcoming with really good food, but the staff at the Buck Inn were just as friendly.
There are lovely dog walks and Dalby Forest is just a few minutes drive and is really great for bike rides etc.
The owners of the campsite are so helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. On setting up the airbed we discovered we had no lead to inflate it, the owner promptly came with a kettle lead that ensured us a comfortable night!
There were fresh eggs every morning, from the hens and ducks who have the run of a large field, you couldn't get much fresher or free range!
We didn't have children with us but all those children that were camping at the same time were clearly having a great time as this is such a child friendly place. There is a trampoline and a rope swing, plus two lovely children Tom & Henry who befriend every one and don't mind that we used their shower in their own home!
Fellow campers were friendly too, some of whom even helped us to pack up our tent on the morning we left, for which we were grateful as it was huge!
Overall we can't praise this campsite and the owners enough and we think its one of the best sites we've been on, even though it's small and not quite developed.
We would prefer to keep it to ourselves as once people know about this place it will be hard to get a pitch, but in truth we would definitely recommend to anyone, couples and families alike, and are hoping to be back again later in the summer.

This is a little gem of a site, hidden away in the delightful village of Thornton-le-Dale. You feel as if you're in a rural retreat, but are only a few minutes walk from shops, tea rooms and country pubs.
This family-run site is small, quiet and well maintained - just right for our small family. The owners - and their children - were welcoming and helpful and, as others have commented, make their shower room available whilst they're developing a shower block. The ducks and hens in the adjacent paddock do their bit too, their fresh eggs make a perfect camper's breakfast!
Coastal towns of Scarborough and Whitby are only 20 minutes away and Thornton is a great base for exploring the North York Moors. We saved the £7 toll for Dalby Forest by walking there from the site - a very pleasant amble too! Next time we'll have to take our bikes, although the owners are considering bike hire from the site, which would be great.
It's very child friendly: all the kids on the site made use of the trampoline and rope swing - including our teenage daughter! And even though it's only a week away to the football world cup, it was great to see the kids coming together for the more summery sport of cricket!
Prospect Farm is definitely worth a return visit, so we're going back in the summer hols - maybe ready to tackle the cycle trail!

We visited this site after recommendations by friends. It is situated right in the heart of Thornton le Dale and is only a minute or so away from the local Cost Cutter.
The site is divided into two halves with caravans etc one side and tents the other. Setting-wise it is excellent with superb views.
The owners were extremely friendly and couldn't do enough to help and offered to freeze our ice blocks for us overnight which was good.
We had two kids with us who had a fantastic time on the large trampoline and we felt that they were safe at all times.
The site itself isn't very flat which isn't ideal for tents and there is a small toilet shed (very clean) and a portable loo on site. There is no hot water however there was the option to use the shower inside the owners house.
On our first night there was a crowd of lads who made a racket until 3.30am and we complained to the owners who immediately asked them to leave the site which was great.
Overall a lovely friendly site and setting but very basic facilities.

Te owners were very helpful and friendly. The site was perfect for us as we like to go biking. It was a quiet site ideal for people to chill and go for walks. We will definitely be returning again.
From the site you can easily walk to the fish shop or even eat in a cafe, there is also a costcutter 2 mins down the road easy to walk to.
