 Good hardstanding area so no mud or puddles.
Literally on the A1 so noise of constant traffic through the night (you do get used to this apart from the HGV horns honking!)
Basic shower, good hot water.

We stayed at A1 touring park for 2 nights, pitches were flat. The toilets were clean, and showers were nice and big with hot water. Felt very secure as there is a coded gate with a height barrier. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Despite the proximity to the A1, after a short while I didn't notice the road noise and when I went to bed the noise was a gentle hum that actually helped me sleep. There is a services a short walk away, which was perfect for stocking up on milk and other essentials.

Followed the signs to the site only to find a height barrier across the entrance eventually after an hour someone came and unlocked it (quite ungraciously I have to say).
Probably the noisiest site we have stayed on as it is alongside the A1 (would have been better to have pulled into a layby and saved £20).
Toilets were cold water only, not a place I will be stopping at again!

I rang this site and enquires whether it was noisy as I needed somewhere where we could sleep at night, and suspicious of its name (Rear or A1). However the receptionist told us the site was surrounded by trees and only had one other unit on site so it was nice and quiet.
On arrival at around 16:30 reception was already closed and it’s difficult to actually find the entrance as the sat nav takes you to the Residential Park behind a services.
On calling the number provided there was no answer, and no sign posts. Found a route in but the barrier was locked. Finally found someone to ask (by luck) after 30mins and they said there was another entrance further down but we would have to go back down and up the dual carriageway.
Finally arrived at the site and set up.
Electric available and plastic grids under the grass on some areas (others areas muddy as it’s winter). Quickly apparent just how close to A1 the site is - like being parked on an airport runway. Went to the toilet shed - heating turned off and freezing, only cold water from wash basin.
Then the unit next door started playing Rave music on high volume (at least it drowned out the A1) but this became painful when it was still playing at 00:45 in the morning.
Went to the loo, one of the lights not working, tripped over a piece of spare plastic hard stand left lying on grass twisting ankle badly. Told the grounds man the following morning who said he hadn’t seen it the day before and threw it to the side of the toilets.
Sleepless night so decided to move on after one night despite paying for 5. Went to reception to complain but no one available. Emailed the address provided but no one has ever replied.

Used this site as an over night stop to North Yorkshire
It is a flat well kept site next to a residential site with electric toilets and shower BUT literally right next to the A1 so lots of road noise noticed on the way into site there is a pub/resturant and a transport cafe down the road £12 for the night
