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

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
Great location and facilities

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.
Amazing

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.

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.
Excellent campsite

Had a great relaxing 3 night stay to watch Chemical Brothers. It has all your needs for a peaceful camping experience. There was even a bus back and forth from the castle, but you could also walk the distance if you wanted to.
Great place

Lovely park. We stayed in the field without electric. Can be a little noisy with traffic and there is a noise like gun shots from local area from early morning and all day (dog hated it). Beautiful surroundings and a must is going up to Castle Howard which is outstanding. Would definitely recommend!

A lovely, peaceful site with lots of space and handy for visiting the Arboretum and Castle Howard. The toilet cubicles are a bit small for getting in and out of and there could be mirrors in the hair drying area, but otherwise I really enjoyed my stay.

Only 2 washing up stations for the campsite. This meant long queues. More washing up sinks desperately needed please as there were 2 fields full of campers!
So much potential

I have read the reviews from others who were on the site for the Jubilee Weekend with interest. We were self contained in our camper, non electric on the furthest field. The facilities were not great, and limited and distant toilets meant we witnessed some people urinating in the hedge. We spotted two water points and one very old fire point. The walk to Castle Howard is along a very fast road with limited footpath most of the way. The locked gate in our field meant we had a long walk round or climbed the fence. Having said that staff were helpful. The site is in a stunning area and has so much potential. Please look at better footpaths to the castle before someone is injured, or worse - and add more facilities in the right places. Unfortunately we wont be back or recommending, unless you want advice from two very travelled campers.
Great views

We stayed in a tent on the camping field which was a lovely open space with beautiful views. The hard standing pitches seemed rather dark as they are situated under trees. Made use of the fish and chip van that comes to the site on Friday evenings. Had read poor reviews about the cleanliness of the toilet block, however we found no issues with them.

Lovely spacious site. New modern shower/toilet block. Lovely fish & chip van calls Friday 6-6.45pm. Friendly helpful staff available on site. Short taxi ride into Malton which is a lovely little village with nice bars/restaurants. Farmers market once a month with some lovely little stalls. Called at Castle Howard on day we left the site, plenty of space to park motorhome in the car park. Would definitely stay here again.
Lovely site

Lovely, peaceful site (apart from morning song). The facilities were excellent and security was good. We cycled so getting to the pub was quite easy, 2.5 miles away either to Slingsby or Welburn.
