A friendly welcome upon arrival, a lovely site and ideally situated for us. We wanted to visit York and Picketing. The bonus was being able to visit castle Howard, a short walk away. We will definitely visit again.

Fantastic stay

Brilliant place and surrounding area, will definitely visit again. I could see there being a shortage of shower and toilet facilities in the bust peek.

Really enjoyed this beautiful site and surrounding areas

Castle Howard Lakeside Holiday Park was a lucky find. Most of the other visitors were very quiet and respectful, and arrived and stayed a couple of days, weekends or week days. The site was easy to navigate and kept clean and tidy, with an ample supply of bins to deposit your rubbish in. The site facilities were central in the tourer field and kept clean and fully stocked. The showers were hot and there were free hairdryers should you need one. There was also an attached washing up room with a washing machine and dryer. Apart from a little bit of bad weather, it was a pleasant and easy stay for us, we are relatively new to the motorhome holiday but found it easy to position our van and place our awning. Thank you for a great stay.

Very friendly

Made extremely welcome on first arrival. Loads of space, excellent, clean facilities. A little bit noisy at night due to the main road but apart from that, all good.

New happy place

A beautiful place with stunning surroundings, very peaceful and amazing skies at night due to the lack of light pollution. Great place for the dogs as has a lovely lakeside walk. Facilities cleaned daily, just a shame the shop wasn't open longer and the pub was nearer. Would definitely come back again and again.

Nice for family

I stayed for 3 night to explore north Yorkshire. It was lovely and spacious, but I think they were very poor on showers and toilets. Also, the tumble drier wasn't working properly so we had to bring everything wet back home, but it was worth it still. It had a lovely lake and it was dog friendly 😊

Site was very quiet as we wanted. Shower and toilet block could do with an update as they were quite old, but I must say the water was lovely and hot in the shower. Only 4 toilets for the whole site.

Booked at the last minute at half the cost of other sites. Perfect for our requirement of an overnight stop with showers and electricity. Very polite and helpful staff. If I was coming this way again, would just come again without looking elsewhere.

Great location

Perfect little campsite. Lovely and quiet! We had a hard standing pitch for our tent, which was hard to peg down but managed in the end. I think I only saw one member of staff and that's when we checked in. Perfect for wildlife, fishing and watching the stars. Little girl loved it and it was great for her riding her bike around and not having to worry too much about cars. Only thing that would be great if there was a play area, but you would probably loose the peace and quite of the site.

Friendly staff

First time camping for my wife and she loved the location. I thought it was perfect for a quiet relaxing day/night. We stayed in the over flow part of the site. Next time we will be booking with the kids as I'm sure they would love it. If you or the kids want to spend time on technology, then I'd not recommend the site as we couldn't get any internet at all but a 5 star rating from us and wait to come again.

Good location

I stayed one night at Castle Howard on my journey south from the Borders. It is well located, being a 2 minute drive from Castle Howard or a 30 minute walk. There is a shop onsite and helpful staff. All the facilities you would expect are provided. The grass camping area was busy and I was situated on a hardstanding pitch which was level and well maintained. A good site to explore the surrounding area.

A lovely campsite but only one toilet block for campervans/caravans and campers, so it was very busy at times and cleaned once a day. I was sited on a pitch next to the lake walk entrance, the number of people who cut across my pitch and walked between my van and windbreak was unbelievable- what has happened to camping etiquette? I would go back but would ask to be placed on a different pitch.

Beautiful setting, excellent families and accommodating staff

Just came back from a fantastic stay at this site. Originally booked a non-electric pitch by mistake and the hosts were wonderful, moving us to a more suitable pitch and even ensuring we had the sun during the heatwave! Facilities are the best we have encountered. Hot showers, free hairdryers, washer, drier, freezer etc. stunning location, we visited the lavender fields and Castle Howard, and both were breath-taking. Could not recommend this site more, we will definitely be back. Thank you again to the hosts for their patience and kindness.

Lovely site

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2024

The main camping field was overcrowded with tents, people and cars everywhere. It was also very noisy, with music and loud talking until early in the morning. The main problem with the site is the lack of loos and showers to cope with the number of campers they try and squeeze onto the site. Queues to use everything!

Stunning

The campsite is just across the lake from the beautiful Castle Howard and only 25 minutes from York. We had a great stay, would definitely recommend!

Never stay here unless you want no sleep!

I would never stay here again! Booked for two nights and left after one! Large groups were playing music until 2am, shouting, banging car doors and no security or staff on site. I wish I hadn't paid to stay as there was no point in paying as it felt like anyone could just turn up and party all night as there no staff after 5pm. Felt very uneasy and not safe.
