Reviewer: Looneytunes 2 reviews from this member

 Our first time camping.Told them it was a family tent when we booked. When we booked in they showed us to our pitch and said if we had problems to come and get him.We didn't him but it was nice thought.

We was on a non hook up side and all the pitches were big.

Playground was well maintained. Toilets and showers always clean and plenty of hot water whenever you went. A freezer for your coolbox ice packs which was free.

The black bull pub had good food and well priced.

Well worth another visit.

 This is our first visit to this site. We have camped for many years and visited many sites.

The site was easy to find and the welcome was great. The facilities were some of the best we have come across with the toilet and showers being clean and with plenty of free hot water. The digital lock on the entry door was a good idea (we've been at sites were the children thought the showers and toilets were part of the play ground)

The only problem with the location of the block (as at many other sites we have visited)was that the tent ground was the furthest away from the blocks with the caravans being located nearer to them.

The washing up sinks are in an open lean-too which does not offer much protection from the weather, but they were very clean and well maintained there was also laundry facilities which also looked well maintained, but we did not use them during our visit.

The site is within a quick drive or slower walk to Pickering where the NYM steam railway is located beware that the fares are not cheap £15 per adult and that is only to Grosemont, and also that car parking can be difficult, but if that is not a problem then a good day can be had.

The pitch offered plenty of space and was flat and was easily accessed by the road around the field.

The Black Bull provides a quick and tasty meal handy if you have children but adults may want something more. We visited the Black Swan in Pickering which offered a very tasty menu and a good pint at an affordable price but other restaurants were also available including Italian.

Our stay was pleasant the only downsides were the road noise from the main road outside of the site (mainly after 5am) and that there was a motor cross meeting nearby on the Sunday afternoon, but these problems are out of the hands of the site which is worth a visit and provides a good centre to base yourself to visit the attractions of this part of North Yorkshire.

Though it can be difficult to exit the site onto the main road which is a sixty mph limit at busy times.

 This was our first visit to this site, already booked again for August. Very nice site, pitches are really big and nice and flat. Plenty of water taps to use. Staff are really nice.

Playground for kids is good, there is also a games room with pool table.

Toilet block is cleaned regularly and showers nice and warm. There is a freezer where you can refreeze blocks free of charge. Shop sells a few bits and is not expensive. We would definitely recommend this site. Pickering is lovely and flamingo land is just down the road.

 2nd time at this site. Lovely and clean. Good sized pitches. Quite big shower and toilet blocks. Reception block has a few essential items you can buy but there is a Co-op up the road in Pickering. Took my nephews (13 + 5) who loved the games room and the park. Took the kids to Flamingoland on 1st visit - only 10 mins drive. 2nd vist - went to Scarborough for the day. Lots to do around Pickering itself. Will definitely be going back there.

 Just arrived back from site after 3 night stay, after reading previous reviews I cannot believe we stayed on the same site. On arrival the waste bins were over flowing so were the dog bins on asking when they would be emptied the answer was they only get emptied weekly so they resorted to building bags for extra rubbish to be placed in. Shower floors dirty but did have plenty of hot water. Even though the site was busy it was very quiet at night. We did not try the local pub so cannot pass comment. Just a short drive into Pickering which is a nice market town.

 Just to endorse what others have reported - generous pitches, super washroom etc facilities, warm welcome, well run site. We liked the fact that there was no extra charge for freezing the cool-blocks.

This site was one of three we'd shortlisted for exploring the area and though we hadn't booked ahead we were just OK for our 4 night requirement. This included the Friday night of a w/e which must have been completely sold out. On the Saturday morning we left the staff were still on top of things and very friendly which is great to see when a site is so full.

The stretch of the A169 outside the entrance is a fast one and the traffic noise can be considerable. Probably affects adults more than children.

For bus-pass oldies like ourselves, the bus stop at the pub with services between York and Whitby or Scarborough, and a 9am starting time, offers great potential. Don't get too excited about the meals served in the pub, though.

 First visit to black bull but it wont be our last.

Lovely campsite 25m walk from Pickering although the black pull pub is just at entrance to site so not far to go for a pint or a lovely bar meal.

We had a tent pitch with ehu which was very spacious and very flat separated by small bushes so felt very private.

Immaculate clean toilet and washing up facilities also a laundry which we didn't use but handy if you are staying for more than a few days.

Kids park and games room on site and also a football pitch for kids to kick the ball about so our kids were happy.

Staff very friendly and would recommend this site,good value for money and great location to explore the surrounding area.

 We stayed here 12- 14 June and this is a brilliant campsite. Clean facilities. Playground and games room for kids that was well used! very good pricing for tent pitches. Lots to do in and around Pickering.

Well recommended. We have booked again for 31 Jul weekend.

Reviewer: Clairem2020 1 review from this member

 This was our first camping adventure and we spent 3 lovely nights here. Toilets, showers and washing up all clean with plenty of hot water. The pitches were flat and spacious. A fairly big play area with slides and swings etc. The games room was a little tatty but definitely served a purpose and we enjoyed a few good games of table tennis! The Black Bull Inn served traditional pub grub and was good value for money with a very friendly welcome.

We spent a day on the steam railway which was wonderful (apart from the weather!) Pickering town is only a short drive away and worth a visit. I would whole heartedly recommend the Eden Camp museum. Excellent value for money and myself, husband and 12 year old son loved it.

Overall a wonderful spot for camping with loads of things to do around and about. We are going back because 3 days is not enough time to fit it all in!

Reviewer: Ruane 10 reviews from this member

 This was our first camping trip after buying all the gear. We had stopped here before when we had a caravan about 15 years ago. The new owners were very helpful on arrival & showed us where to pitch. The site is flat & well sheltered with tall mature trees all around. There is a shop on site with a playground & games room. The pub is great with good ale & food at good prices.The

Toilets & showers good & always kept clean. There is a mop & bucket to mop the showers yourself after use. Pickering is a lovely Yorkshire town with good shopping / pubs. The Steam Railway is great & takes you into Heartbeat country. The Dalby forest is not far & we went into Scarborough on the Sunday. Great area for walking with great little villages around every corner.

Love this site & area!
