VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Apr 2023 This site is definitely worth visiting, it sits next to Castle Howard with views of beautiful green fields. The facilities are excellent very clean and the hairdryers in the showers are brilliant. Lovely customer service, very helpful.
The edition of washing facilities are very handy and reasonable too. Ideally situated for York and the surrounding areas! What else could you ask for? We will definitely be back.
Amazing stay
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Touring Pitches Apr 2023 Our first outing in a new campervan. From arriving to leaving we found the site calm, quiet, and reception staff welcoming and very supportive.
The view of the castle and lake is truly amazing.
Highly recommended for a couple of days or a stop over.
Excellent
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Mar 2023 Five stars ⭐️ loved everything, even stayed an extra night
Excellent campsite, lovely hosts and plenty of space!
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Mar 2023 The bathroom and washing up areas were kept very clean while we were staying and there was the option of a washer and drier if needed (for a few quid per load). We stayed in the non electric camping field, which was very spacious and right next to the lake. The campsite was easy to find and we had a view of Castle Howard from where we pitched up.
York was an easy 30 min drive away and Castle Howard was barely a 25 minute leisurely walk up the road. We were welcomed and given plenty of guidance on where things were in the campsite and how to get to the field we needed, with plenty of drinking water taps located around the site!
There is a long road next to the camping field, but I wouldn't describe it as noisy as there was only the occasional car going past and you could barely hear them! Would definitely visit this site again!
Winter wonderland
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Touring Pitches Nov 2022 Excellent site. Lovely location and views of the lake. A little muddy in places but we did have hell of a downpour through the night. Apart from that, would highly recommend this site. Will be back 👍
Fantastic
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Oct 2022 Nice clean facilities, easy to find and nice and quiet. Highly recommended this one.
Only thing to bear in mind - there are no restaurants/pubs on site or nearby. Not a problem for me as I brought everything with me.
Dirty toilets Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Touring Pitches Sep 2022 Toilet sanitary bins were full and smelly and were not emptied whilst we were there for our 3 night stay. Also, the showers could do with a good clean
Great location and facilities
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2022 Great campsite, lovely rural location, good relatively new facilities, clean and presentable. Would stay here again.
Ideal site for visiting Castle Howard
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2022 Nice clean and affordable campsite. Friendly greeting on arrival and nice walks around lake with great views of Castle Howard.
Nice site

Good place to stay
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 Very nice, clean and people are friendly.
Great time
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 Great time, loved every minute. Partied the night away at Castle Howard then short walk back to the site and just carried on. Good times!!!
Excellent stay
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 First time camping with my nephew and dogs and it was the perfect campsite and location, even the rain didn't spoil it. Thank you.
Really overcrowded Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 Noise from the road behind was really loud. Lack of security or people walking around.
Not a brilliant campsite. Not enough toilets and showers. Overcrowded campsite. Noisy. No one checked us in. Not great.
Amazing
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 What a lovely place to visit and we got 2 for 1 tickets into Castle Howard, which is such an amazing place for the family to visit x
Nice place to stay!
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 I just needed an overnight stop when taking a leisurely drive from Edinburgh to Kent. There was no-one in reception on arrival, but a note on the door explaining where I could camp, this wasn't a problem at all.
There was plenty of space to camp, no shortage of hot water in showers. The lake is very pretty and I had a walk round part of it. It isn't really very visible from the camping field though. There are some very grand and impressive oak trees on the site!
The only negative comment I would make is that there isn't a lot of space for washing up, this didn't affect me as I ate late at night and early in the morning so I had the sinks to myself. If it was busy, this might be an issue.
Castle Howard
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 Good location for visiting York centre. Approx. 30 mins in the car. The drive towards the campsite was lovely. Great views of Castle Howard from the top field.
We liked the idea that you can pitch your tent anywhere on the field. Free to use hairdryers in ladies toilets, no coins needed as read in previous reviews.
Only gripe is there's no plug socket in the ladies shower block.
