We arrived late in the afternoon. The lady on reception could not have been more helpful. The site was clean and the facilities were second to none. We have two dogs and they were made to feel welcome. I cannot recommend this site enough. Now that we have found it we will be back.

We stayed at the site for the first time. It is a quiet, peaceful site ideally located to explore Castle Howard and its grounds. We fished on two occasions but were unable to catch any fish, other anglers also had no luck! The facilities meet your needs and the individual plots are of a good size. The staff were very helpful. It would have been better with Wi-Fi connectivity. However, overall, I would recommend this campsite.
Nice tidy site

Lovely site. Only downside is I thought it needs another shower and toilet block, plus a site shop would be a good addition.

Great facilities and very clean. Large field for camping so lots of choice on where to pitch. Did however get swarmed by midges/flies when pitching near the water, but after moving further away, had no problems for the rest of our stay. The road next to the site can be quite loud, but is quiet at night. Would probably stay again!
Went the extra mile

Lovely site and good facilities for the cost of £26. The only downside was the hoards of kids who were doing some sort of outward bound weekend. The majority of them were pretty rude and loud and groups of them were a little intimidating. On the whole, a nice overnight stay.
Isolated site

Stayed 1 night out of two booked and paid for. Campsite is clean and tidy but it was isolated with no outside paths to walk and only roads to walk on. Castle Howard is a 5 minute drive as walking on the road in the rain wasn't an option considered. The indoor part of the garden centre is small. Malton is nearby but we thought parking was a nightmare. We parked at Morrisons and bought some bits on the Saturday and then decided at 3.30pm not to stay another night, so went home. Would have been better in summer when you can sit out etc. We thought it was far too isolated for us with nothing to do for miles.

Very nice site. Could do with a small shop for emergency supplies like Elsan toilet cleaner etc. The nearest supplier is in Malton 5 miles away.
Excellent value for money

Used the site to access Castle Howard gardens and Yorkshire arboretum. Extremely convenient for both. Site has good vistas over the grounds around Castle Howard. Campsite was very quiet when we were there (Sunday/ Monday early October) but fortunately weather was very kind. Facilities are everything we need and are both clean and warm. Price for this early week stay was excellent given the quality of the facilities. Thoroughly enjoyed our two days and will be back for further visits to the arboretum.

Can't fault this site, will definitely return. Easy to find and in beautiful scenery, which means lots of nice walks nearby. Although it is a smallish field for a lot of campers, it was incredibly peaceful and quiet, with no noisemakers. Was easily asleep by 11pm. Clean and stocked facilities.

So I know we went camping and you can't expect much, but I must say after looking at the photos and previous reviews, I was really disappointed with our stay! We did not see one member of staff whilst we where at the campsite, not even upon check in. The toilets where filthy! Used sanitary towels were on the floor next to the toilets in several cubicles. The showers where not much better and the water smelt poor! The shower and toilet blocks had no proper ventilation so were extremely smelly and humid! There is a main road right at the side of the campground, so you can hear cars zooming past. The 11:30pm curfew is not adhered to, as there were kids screaming, adults still up drinking and making noise and no staff to monitor or ask people to quieten down. I would not recommend here and you can get much cleaner and quieter campsites for cheaper. The 2 for 1 offer they gave us to entry for Castle Howard did not work either. Really disappointed and will not be returning again.
Lovely location

A fairly standard site with reasonable facilities and a little cheaper than elsewhere we've camped this year. However, the weather was fantastic and the location really nice. Although the lake feels hidden away from the site itself, you can walk alongside it with views of Castle Howard. It's probably 15 mins walk from Castle Howard or 5 mins in the car. Definitely worth a visit.
Worth a visit!

Fantastic place! Our first time camping and it's given us a great experience. Lovely staff, toilets and showers were better than expected and the camping field was fabulous. Such a shame about the other rowdy families being noisy and leaving such a mess behind - both on the field and in the shower room! A lovely walk around the lake and some very nice caravans too. Would love to come back again.
Brilliant stay, great park

Brilliant place to stay, friendly staff on site. I was given a park information sheet and told where the toilet and shower block was. I just wish there were more shower and toilet blocks as we found we had to wait around as they were always in use. I'm only a small lady and found the sinks in the toilet blocks very high, yes there was a small movable step but would have preferred a lower sink. I'm not criticising, just saying. Site was well spaced out and everyone seemed friendly. We actually want to compliment all park staff for a brilliant stay and we will definitely be going back for another stay.
Great stay

Our first family camping trip. We were really happy with the facilities and felt really safe there. Lovely community feel with all the campers. The site was recommended to us by family who also returned for a second time.

We stayed on a hard standing electric pitch with our tent, but we asked prior to arriving could we use the grass part between for the tent and was told yes - when we arrived and it was a no. Not a problem as I went out and brought solid metal pegs (only had plastic ones with the tent and these would definitely not penetrate the hard standing grounding at all). Campsite doesn't have Wi-Fi if you're looking for this for TV etc (download movies before you leave home). Wi-Fi arrival at the castle if needed. Toilets ok but need regular cleaning as a lot of people for one block gets dirty very quickly. Campsite quiet pretty much bang on 10pm. Take ear plugs if light sleepers as the crows are very loud in the morning about 7am. All in all, recommend if wanting wildish camping, albeit we opted for electrics to charge our car during our stay :-)

It's a flat field and clean toilet block. But that's all you're getting. Clean and tidy. Great base to explore from but all you are getting is a field and a toilet block.
