 Thank you for a great stay.
We arrived on Friday afternoon and found a lovely area to pitch the tent.
The reception was helpful and the farmers were super. Always around to give a helping hand.
We left the lights on in the car and ran down the battery but 2 jolly men came and saved the day allowing us to get back on the road.
The site was perfect for what we needed. Loads of room, facilities excellent and clean. The location was great, We had a day out on the stream and diesel trains so taxi to Pickering int he morning and taxi back. Was a tenner for 4 of us one way.
Great weekend break.

Fantastic site on a working farm but the campsite is not an after thought. It is very well looked after, 2 toilets and showers always spotless and clean £1 for 5 minutes for a shower, a wash up area under cover with lots of local info and useful telephone numbers.
The pitches are large so ideal if you have a large tent like we do and don't have to pay for 2 pitches if your family tent is over 5m long.
Very reasonable price per night including EHU. We only live local to the site but will be going back for weekend breaks for sure.

This is a quiet site on a working farm, situated on a minor road. Very easy-going staff. Flat field with a hedge around most of it for shelter. Two shower/toilet/washbasin units and 2 separate toilets. Showers are operated by £1 coin meter for 5 minutes of very hot water. Small kitchen area (under cover) with very hot water and a freezer and an electric kettle available.
There ae EHUs available if you want that. Visitors were staying in a a mix of motorhomes, caravans and tents. There are also 2 'Pods' for hire. Some road noise could be heard at times, but it is a minor road, so was not really intrusive.
There are no specific facilities for children and the site is probably more suited to adults who are looking for a quiet relaxing site. The nearest pubs are in the village of Thornton Le Dale (2 miles away). Both serve food. There is a small 'Nisa' mini-market there too and several cafes.
There is also a small vintage motor museum there, which I found interesting. The larger village of Pickering is 4 miles away and has a Lidl and Co-Op supermarket. There is a scenic drive through Dalby Forest nearby and several antique/collectors' shops in the surrounding area, if that's your thing.
This is an ideal site for mature people wanting a relaxing break away from it all.

We visited this site for the first time last weekend, what a great spot. Our friends hired a pod at the same time and they were equally pleased. The camping field was flat and the grass was well cared for, the hook up pitches were big enough to fit our quite large caravan lengthways with loads of room to spare. The facilities were immaculate yes it's £1 for a shower but it's more than enough time and what can you buy for a pound?
The pods were big enough for six people and they have the added bonus of a fridge, there only two it it's good value(there are also cottages to rent).
High Grundon is an excellent location with access to Whitby, Scarborough, York etc all within easy reach.
It's a great site in a pleasant part of the country, it's ran by friendly helpful people who care what you think.
We will definitely go back.
Great spot

We had a fantastic 7days camping at this site. Very well presented lovely clean and quite site. Plenty of space between pitches with handy water taps behind out tent. Nice big open space for the kids to play, the owner is very friendly and always helpful. Toilet and shower blocks always kept nice and clean also covered area for washing up. Showers are one pound for 5 minutes. We didn't mind this as you always get hot water. Ideal site location too, few minutes down the road have lovely thornton le dale also Pickering where the north Yorkshire railway is based. Plenty of shops etc there. Whitby is a real gem spent a lovely day going round the harbour whitby abbey is definitely worth a visit. Robins hoods bay is also worth a visit kids enjoyed the beach there. All in all was a brilliant week at a brilliant site and couldn't ask for more. Will definitely be booking again in the near future. Thank you again

We have just spent another fantastic weekend on this CL. The owner is very helpful and the site is always well maintained and the toilet/ shower block are immaculate (as usual)
Thornton le Dale is a lovely place with a good mixture of shops and places to eat.
We spent Saturday in Pickering where the kids went swimming and Sunday at Dalby Forest which included a visit to the awesome Go Ape (not for the faint hearted.
Overall this is one of the best CLs that we have used we and will be back to visit in the near future

We found the site very clean and well presented, flat field and well maintained pot wash and ablutions. Planty of hot water and a very handy clean fridge for site use. No children's play park on site which for us is ok.
To have only two showers and toilets, was a little surprising as it is quite a large site. I would not like to think of the length of the queue when the site was full. The showers' were £1. 00 for 4-5 minutes of hot water, very expensive I thought.
The site is within 2 miles of the local village/town which has a couple of nice pubs and a few useful shops, a lovely Yorkshire feeling to the whole area.
We spoke to the owners regarding the 2 ablutions and were informed some more are going to be built later this year and that the shower time would be adjusted to a longer time, a good move I think.
Overall a very nice site in a great location but needs some improvement in the areas described, if those improvements are implemented then this site would get a score of 10 from me.

A beautiful site with wide open aspect. Helpful friendly site warden. No strict rules so it seems that everyone respects the friendly atmosphere. We are a retired couple so booking in August is always done with some degree of trepidation but as the site is big and open plenty of room for the children and families to play without infringing on others. Close to the small village of Thornton and for bigger shopping Pickering and Malton are within easy reach. Scarborough and Whitby are only 30mins away so if you like the seaside these are ideal for a day out. Our only criticism would be the fact that the toilets and shower are together so if you want the toilet and the site is busy you may need to queue. The owners are aware of this and according to them they plan to build extra toilets this we feel is a must ! Also the £1 fee for the showers is a bit steep and can add greatly to your stay. All in all would recommend this site.
