Nice site in a good location. Well drained as it rained heavily on our first night.

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.

Too noisy over night

On first impressions location is perfect, however, it site was so noisy over night with loud music being played and people shouting and running around screaming well past the advertised quite time of 22:00. This was such a shame, we've never stayed at a site where other campers appeared to have no regard for their other campers on site. The facilities were basic, toilets dirty, taps stuck on and showers cold, this could have been over looked if noise control on the site was acceptable. There did not appear to be any wardens to approach easily, which we have had at other sites. For the price of the site for a non electric pitch was not good value for money. You expect some noise at night, chatting, laughing etc but shouting and screaming and plying loud music across a site isn't okay.
Suited our needs for a 1 night stop over

No cold water tap in the toilets for cleaning teeth, there was nowhere to get dressed dry within the shower cubicle. No mirror near the hair drier but were mirrors above the sinks.

Lovely place. Nothing on site, just a shower block and toilets so car needed. The castle is 2 min drive up the road and it has a café for sandwiches and drinks and a local farm shop. You don't need entry to the castle facilities as these are open for all to use before entry (they sell bread, wine cheese and even a butcher for your food and drink supplies). They even have a restaurant, which would have been handy to know as we only found out the day before we left. Although it's a little expensive, Malton is your place to drive to for shops and a garage if needed about 15 min. Great location to drive to flamingo land like we did for the day. Reception kindly charged our battery packs for us as well. Overall, a perfect place for campers wanting peace and quiet and a lovely location.

We booked this campsite for 2 nights as we were visiting Flamingo Land on the sat, it was a great location! 20 min drive to Flamingo Land. The campsite was very nice, reception booked us in and told us where our pitch was and everything about it was spotless! The toilets and showers were always clean and tidy, also had a utility room with a washer dryer and freezer. Would definitely recommend and would visit again.
Great views!

A fabulous week's break & would go again. Perhaps could do with more sinks for washing up, but otherwise amazing.

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!

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.

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!
