Date of Visit: May 2010 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: David + Jane 1 review from this member

 What a find, a site so convenient for all our needs. Dog walks, local eateries and watering holes all within 200 yards of the village centre.

The facilities are all first class and about to get better for campers with new toilet/shower blocks planned for later this year.

Hosts very friendly, and couldn't do enough to help you, fresh farm eggs available from Tom, who also likes to lend a hand. Only stopped the weekend, but have already booked another in June this year.

Reviewer: Merricampa 1 review from this member

 This was our first foray into camping, and we couldn't have chosen a better place to take the plunge!

The location was ideal, in the middle of picturesque village of Thornton-le-Dale, and it was an easy drive to lots of attractions on the coast. A lovely traditional pub with delicious food was just a minute's walk away and there were plenty of shops to browse.

The site was spacious and friendly, and the family bent over backwards to help us novices out! They were deeply apologetic that the outside hot water wasn't working yet, but invited us into their own home to use theirs instead which more than solved the problem! Two young budding entrepreneurs (the children of the owner) provided us with very fresh eggs laid by the hens which made a lovely breakfast.

There was plenty to do, and next time we'll definitely be taking the dog as there is a wooded area at the top of the site which will be lovely for walks - we might also be tempted to break out the bikes and taking one of the trails suggested by our highly knowledgeable hosts.

We can't wait to get more use out of our new tent, and will be heading back as soon as possible - cannot recommend it highly enough. 


Date of Visit: April 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Mac6167 1 review from this member

 We arrived on the Friday to a very warm welcome and helped onto our pitch by the owners who were kind enough to reverse our caravan into place as we had a bit of a struggle. The campsite is lovely and clean and very well kept.

There is a toilet block with a sink area but at the moment no hot water. That wasn't a problem as we were able to get hot water if we needed it from the bungalow. All the facilities were checked several times a day and kept in pristine condition. There is a new shower and toilet block being built on site which is going to be great if its anything like the showers in the bungalow which are being made available to all campers until the new shower block is ready, which I thought was very kind, given the fact that its in there private space.

On the campsite they have hens and ducks and a steady supply of eggs all the time, they have a fantastic dog walk around the adjacent woods and walks from the campsite. We also had the pleasure of being lead on a guided tour around the North York Moors for a day by X-Trail which are on site. We had a fantastic day and the guiding and tuition is the best I've ever had. The site is situated in a fantastic location smack bang in the middle of the village, you can almost touch the pubs and local facilities.

All in all its a fantastic site in a fantastic location run by a young family where nothing seems to be too much trouble, and when they have the new shower and toilet block completed at the end of the year it will take some beating. We have already booked our return trip just to make sure we can get in! Thanks again to the family of Prospect Farm. See you in July.

Reviewer: Mrs darcy 4 reviews from this member

 Wow. Fantastic place. Short weekend stay in a tent. This is the only campsite actually in the touristy village of Thornton le Dale, which meant it was ideal for keeping busy over the weekend. The site and village feel rural and 'away from it all' enough but the proximity to the village meant local amenities were well within walking distances so we didn't need to use the car once. (However, there are plenty of attractions within a short drive for a longer stay - Eden Camp and Flamingo Land for example and only 30 mins drive from seaside at Scarborough)

Owners were very welcoming and friendly - and along with the fresh eggs from their hens on the next field, it all felt a bit Famous Five and was exactly what we like when camping. Kids loved the family feeling of the whole place.

As for facilities, it's very clear that these are being developed and yet again, the owners couldn't have been more helpful. We're hoping to go back there very very soon.

 Arrived on the Friday for bank hol weekend 4 day break. A warm greeting from the site owners on arrival. Shown to a reserved pitch as the site only holds a 28 day licence and our stay would have gone beyond the limit. This was in the part which takes 5 caravans normally. By early evening there were 6 caravans and our tent. The camping field was fairly large but on a slope however it had been levelled out in strips as you went up the field and was fairly empty.

There was a toilet with a wash basin and cold water. Hot water at the owners bungalow and shower again at the bungalow where there was one inside the entrance at a £1 a time.

Thornton le dale is a great place to visit and lots of walks in and around the area.Pickering, Scarborough, Whitby and the north Yorkshire moors are all within a short distance
