Midsummer Caravan and Camping Reviews

Short break

Stayed here for a short break with our son and young family who were camping. On arrival, the owner said that the tent pitch was in the camping field, but the field was not fit to pitch a tent. There was no grass on it and was just a mud bath. To be fair, the owners have had the field levelled, so when the grass grows it will be a lovely spot but shouldn't advertise it just yet for camping. She said that he could pitch next to us on the grass in the corner plot, which was very good of her. The toilets were clean and showers were nice but for the eggy smell from the water. The owner told me that the water is from a bore hole and they have had Yorkshire water come out to test and apparently it is safe to drink, but the smell definitely put us off doing so. They are going to have further investigation into the matter. All in all, a nice little secluded place which has great potential. I can't see why the price is more for a tent than a hard-standing pitch. Seems expensive for a tent pitch with no services.

Tent box

Stayed just one night with a roof tent. Everything the reviews said were correct. Brilliant campsite with everything you need and helpful. Thanks.

Bank holiday weekend

Owners very accommodating, got a nice message on the morning welcoming us and asking eta. We did arrive late but owners explained where we were to pitch. Nice clean site and would recommend to anyone.

Lovely site

Lovely site, but needs work on the drainage and would go back once this is fixed We did have a great stay here, kids loved the playground, facilities were perfectly acceptable. But the camping field was very boggy, lacking drainage, we were wading through puddles back and forth to the tent. Everything we own ended up wet and muddy. We still enjoyed our time and would go back, but only if the owners sort out the drainage on the camping field.

Brilliant little campsite!

I found the hosts brilliant! This was our first time touring and they really put us at ease with arrival times and what to do when we got there. The site is a lovely quite site with a brilliant little park for the kids. We loved our trip and will return in the future! No Wi-Fi just yet. The host did say it's something they're considering for the future but certainly not a showstopper!

Our visit

I stayed here with my family over the early May bank holiday weekend. After reading the previous reviews, I was confident and really looking forward to a weekend getaway. Drunk BBQ's until all hours. Arguing, shouting and constant swearing from adults and children (some aged as young as 4) and to top it off, the site smelled from the water. I would say save your money and go somewhere else. Awful weekend.

Nice location

Nice location, close to lovely little towns and villages. Clean site, great little play area, friendly and attentive staff.

Lovely clean quite site

Just come back from 3 night break from here. Site is lovely & quiet, which was perfect for our son who has autism. Owners were really friendly & helpful. They even purchased all the kids on site Easter eggs which was really thoughtful of them. Location was perfect, surroundings were beautiful and definitely be returning again this year. Only recommendation I would share would be to update the chemical waste point. Really looking forward to returning back already.

Lovely new site

This was the first time at this site, which has recently been taken over. Great location not far from the village with nicely set out pitches. Still a couple of things to sort out, like the smell from the water tank, which has been checked. We used bottled water to drink. The grey waste needed to have a way of rinsing out, which they are aware of and waiting to get sorted. Friendly and helpful staff.

Caravan stay

Very friendly and welcoming owners in a great location. Lovely park for the kids. More toilets and showers needed. The water had a strong smell, so take bottled water.

A little gem

A beautiful little site. Quiet and immaculately kept. Really enjoyed our stay and we will be returning.

Many thanks for your review. Lovely to meet you and chat, hope to see you again.

Lovely, peaceful and well kept site

This is a beautiful, well-kept and peaceful site. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the showers & toilets are unavailable but if you're self-sufficient that's fine.

Thank you for your review. Nice to meet you. Unfortunately the toilets etc were a decision I had to make this year.

Well kept and peaceful site

Very well kept site, quiet and a mixture of hard standing and grass. Very well presented. Only four stars due to no facilities but we did know that, otherwise would highly recommend and if in that area again would rebook. We stayed to go to Mathewsons for bangers and mash and it couldn't have been better positioned. Warm welcome from Beverley and helpful local information shared.

Thank you for your review. Nice to meet and chat. Glad you enjoyed your stay and the village.

Clean, tidy and relaxing site

Midsummer is a small, very well kept site The owner appears to run it by herself and keeps it very tidy. She is very friendly and helpful. The grass is kept short. It is fed by a spring, which means the water is very soft. The toilets and showers were closed when we visited but we were aware of that in advance. There is some road noise in the morning and early evening. Would definitely stay here again.

Many thanks for your review. Would be nice to see you again.

Clean and green

Midsummer strikes a great balance between quiet and convenience. There are half a dozen pubs only a few minutes drive away. From the site's two fields you can't see a building besides the owner's farmhouse. My two nights there were exceptionally peaceful. The owner was most helpful and friendly. Definitely worth a stay.

Thank you for your review. Nice to meet you and chat, glad to see you back so soon. Hope to see you again.

First time caravanners

As first time caravaners we looked for a quiet, smallish site close to towns and villages we could visit, Midsummer fitted the bill perfectly. A very friendly welcome on arrival from the owners with help and advice throughout our stay, especially with the Whale water pump! Facilities are very clean and well maintained. Highly recommended as a base for visits to York, Malton, Pickering, the North Yorkshire Moors and coastal resorts such as Filey, Scarborough and Whitby.

Great location, pleasant campsite, genial owners

An absolutely charming little site a couple of miles from Thornton-le-Dale and the moors beyond, with much to see and do in the area. The owners are friendly, approachable and helpful hosts. Being for adults only and with no large groups the site is peaceful; it is well laid out with plenty of space between level tent pitches along the edge of a field, which is available for pitch and putt and dog walking. Facilities are spotlessly maintained and adequate for the number of visitors on site. One unusual and interesting feature is the artsian well from which the site draws its water- very soft, natural and clean, and quite different to tap water. We are very likely to return to Midsummer in future.

Many thanks for your lovely review. Hope to see you again in the future.

Lovely quiet stay

This is a lovely, quiet and friendly campsite. It's adults only, which is a huge bonus if you want a quiet and restful break. We were much later arriving than we had intended but were still met with a warm welcome and supported with directions when we got completely lost. Facilities (toilets / showers) are basic in terms of the unit that they are in, but very clean with everything that you need inside. We used the electric hook up. All in all a lovely stay in a quiet, relaxed environment. Felt very safe, no worries about walking on your own to the loo in the middle of the night! Also, dog friendly.

Great site, exactly as described, if not better

Spotless well kept site, very quiet and adult only. Lovely hosts super friendly, will definitely recommend and return. Thank you.

Many thanks for your review. We look forward to seeing you again.

Stunning little campsite with lovely owners

Absolutely amazing little campsite, the owners are lovely, very helpful and always up for a chat! The campsite itself is rather larger, however they have limited the number of pitches which means the campsite is quiet and spacious. The only downside is there is only one toilet, one shower, then one toilet and shower combined. However we only found ourselves queuing for the toilet once. Lovely and clean, well kept grass. Definitely my kind of campsite, and will be booking to stay again.
