Pleasant site

Good location and a pleasant site, but we felt it was set up for motorhomes/camper vans, with tents as 'a side line'. The toilet block was thoroughly cleaned once a day, but we felt it needed a second clean at a weekend when the site was busier. The water in the showers was never particularly hot, but were adequate. Only two washing-up spaces at a time as the basins were in a cramped room. Other than checking in, we never saw a member of staff!
Excellent spot for camping

A great getaway spot with a short walk out of the grounds you have a great view of Castle Howard. The facilities are very well maintained. Very busy location though meaning noise through the night and the morning for any one of various reasons. When staying in a tent obviously noise can be a bit of an annoyance. If the grounds could lower their allowed number of pitches, that would be excellent.
Pleasant stay

Clean and quiet site. Friendly and helpful staff. Would benefit from a play park for children, but ideal as a base to go and explore the surrounding area.
Nice little campsite

The campsite was easy to find, welcoming at reception and well laid out and tended to. The toilet and shower facilities are very clean and have a modern fit out. There is a lovely walk around part of the lake and lots of birds to spot. You will get a early wake up call from them too so take earplugs if you don't want to wake up at 4/5am!
Great

Lovely site, well maintained and in an ideal location. Only gripe was the tents weren't pitched so people really got a bit on top of you and were close. Some people were also being loud at 1am singing loudly, but everyone's allowed to have fun. Facilities were excellent but quite a walk away from the tent site.

Peaceful park, but not much to do unless you have a car as nothing nearby.
Bit of a disappointment

Basic facilities and no shop on site. Toilet block was ok but small and showers need bigger hooks for clothes otherwise they fall on the floor and get wet. The baskets are also too high. There aren't enough cafes or a pub, considering there are no facilities on site.
Great site

Relaxing, peaceful site with great views around the lake. Easy access to the coast, Castle Howard, Malton and York. We will definitely return.
Lovely, quiet, clean and picturesque- what else could you ask for

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!! We will definitely be back.
Amazing stay

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.

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!

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 👍

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

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

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

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.

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.
