 Beautiful setting, in a beautiful area. We arrived late, after reception had closed and the warden kindly left our pitch number in the office window.
Disappointed from there on. One tap for fresh drinking water directly above the waste water/ motorhome dump, ergh, which was situated on the entrance/exit to the camp field, causing a major headach and blockage to get in or off the site.
The toilet block and showers were in need of a referb and filthy, as was the pot was. Awful, paid a lot less for a lot more.

Stayed here for two nights as convenient for visiting castle Howard. Small site situated next to a large lake on the castle Howard Estate.
Access relatively easy. On arrival we parked opposite the Reception and after checking us in the receptionist asked us to drive through the field entrance where she met us and directed us to our pitch. Some pitches are under trees.
We were No 25 by a wall above the main road into the village, but not bothered by traffic noise. There is also a separate tent field beyond the touring field.
Site has all usual facilities, but we were requested to use our own due to Covid 19. Plenty of water points, chemical disposal and roller grey disposal behind toilets.
Motor home grey drain very small and difficult to access. There is also a large static caravan area on site. Friendly and helpful reception staff.
Taxis from Malton readily available. Long walk along main road to castle Howard. Cost £22 per night.

We have just returned from a 3 night stay at Lakeside and I have to say we will definitely be returning!
We were a little nervous about going as it’s the first place we have all been as a family and we were certainly put at ease as soon as we arrived! Everything was in place to protect everyone!
Toilet & shower block was the cleanest of all the sites we have ever stayed on! Hand sanitiser available. We thought it was a great idea to have the portaloos on the field in order to free up the toilet/shower block.
Even the portaloos were clean and hand sanitiser ready outside for everyone to use!
A lovely family friendly site that we will definitely be returning to!

Pleasant welcome, directed to the camping fields & told to pitch our tent anywhere, with car next to our tent.
Facilities are basic but functional. Portaloos added to the camping field, also had soap, toilet roll & hand sanitiser available.
Other campers were friendly & mainly adhered to the social distancing, as they could.
Would visit again.

I was so looking forward to staying at this site after 3 months in lockdown. Sadly I was disappointed.
After a warm welcome by the receptionist we selected our own hardstanding pitch. The pitch was fine and the ground was well maintained. The site is in a good location adjacent to the great lake.
There were only 2 fresh water taps which were screwed to wooden posts plus 2 drainage points, one was raised on a concrete plinth and impossible to lift a 40 litre waste tank. The other was a surface type drain. These service 160 pitches plus countless tent pitches.
The sanitary block was in dire need of refurbishment. The paths were covered in last Autumns leaves and the exterior walls covered in cobwebs. The floors inside were so dirty you would not want to use your towel again if it dropped on the floor. The website said there would be additional cleaning after the Coronovirus, but we did not see any evidence of cleaning for the first 4 days.
There is a tent field adjacent. The site had no security and is staffed between 9am and 5pm.
We were told that most people stay for a couple of nights only. I can understand why.
I believe you get what you pay for. At £27 per night this site is a rip off.
I made a formal complaint to the site manager in writing and was told that they had hoped to refurbish the facilities this year but this had been postponed. He did not disagree with any of my comments about cleanliness.
The site clearly hopes that the castle Howard brand will draw people in and indeed it does. It did me. But be prepared to be disappointed. There are many much better, cheaper, cleaner sites within 10 miles at Slingsby, Hovingham and around Helmsley.

Lovely little site tucked away at the side of the lake opposite castle Howard. Probably a thirty minute walk by road but I think there is a walk direct from the site to the Home cross country (at least I think we saw some walking that way) You cannot get via the path around the lake.
Tourers are pitched amongst the trees right by the lake. I hope you like nature as the dawn chorus is plentiful lol. There is a decent toilet and shower block, maybe not the most modern but lovely and clean. There is no shop on site so come prepared. We had EHU and there was an Elesan point plus grey waste disposal, what more do you need.
We certainly intend coming again as it is less than an hour from home so ideal for weekend breaks. PLUS we got a two for one voucher for castle Howard from the site which makes the cost extremely reasonable.

Nice quiet site with a large field for tents and motorhomes. Pitches are an ok size but I would have preferred slightly bigger. We didn't opt for EHU and as such found the standard pitches are furthest away from the facilities but not too far as to be inconvenient. The gents had ample facilities and although the site wasn't full there were a lot of tents with a lot of people I didn't have to wait to use the toilets or showers.
One reviewer was complaining about guard dogs and makes it appear that the dogs are on the campsite. I'll clear this up - the dogs and handlers only patrol the grounds for the Castle Howard estate NOT the campsite. The estate is closed to the public from about 5:30 - 6:00 PM so I don't find it unreasonable. As for there not being a dedicated footpath to the estate - well this person wants to be spoonfed everything. It is no hardship to walk up the road to get to the estate. In fact it makes a pleasant walk especially in the early evening. It is well worth walking past the estate to the first of the archways over the road just to look at the building.
The staff are friendly and they keep the place clean. The toilets are cleaned daily - probably multiple times but I met and spoke with a very friendly and pleasant cleaning lady each morning around 6:30am. The chipshop van on Saturday does a decent fish & chips but get to reception early as the queue grows quickly. The van staff are very efficient though and get through the orders quickly. Everything is cooked to order so no soggy batter or chips due to being kept warm.
The east coast resorts are all within an hour or so's drive as is York. There are other attractions around with leaflets available in the office.

Bank Holiday weekend, traffic is always bad at best around the A64 however with the tour de yorkshire as well I was surprised at how quick we arrived at the site. Sat nav got us to within the last 200 yards (common sense needed here a little bit), I rang before hand to book in and the very nice lady on the phone explained that if the office was shut, there would be a map on the door with our pitch number on and name on, this suited us perfectly and went to the office midday to pay the balance.
Site itself is more than adequate for a long weekend Its quiet but large enough for kids to explore, we walked up to the castle which at a steady walk took us 30 - 45 mins and a wander around the few gift/farm shops had a cuppa and walked back. We didn't bother paying to go into to castle grounds. Toilets were very clean, showers were hot and empty and electric never tripped out. Location is great very close to york, scarborough, brid and east coast.
Approach to site (for us) was straight forward, A64 from york side, turn left after (tinnard curry house/ just after dual carriage way starts. Then just keep going, we did come across an arch way in the middle of road 11'3' height I think and was a little unsure if we had gone wrong, Nope just carry on through that and keep going towards the castle. Site is a little passed the castle. When we left the site with caravan hitched up I was advise to go 4-5mile out of my way ( right out of site) towards malton, then right at the T junction, this actually takes you onto the A64 slip road and was great and very easy to do. I didn't want to cross two lanes of a dual carriage way and have to set off and get upto speed with a 27ft caravan behind me.
Very good site ( be brilliant with a little play area for kids) clean tidy well run and great location. Well done to all staff we will be back.

Just spent a week here, lovely site, clean toilets and showers and the staff very pleasant and helpful, we came with friends from NZ who loved the site and surroundings. Castle Howard was a bonus as we got a discount price ticket and you get 2 visits in one week with it so if you missed anything you can go again free. If you don't like wild birds and pigeons waking you early with their songs then go in the large field, likewise if you don't want the ducks round your caravan don't feed them, most people accept this and it is in the country with a huge lake on site so its part of your camping holiday. Downside is the approach road from the A64, 2 narrow arches to go through, I went from Malton and found it easy. In all I would return again no problems with site for us.

Friendly staff upon arrival, helpful advice on locale. £18 for a couple per night with hook up was a bargain- hard standing and plenty of space. Unlike previous reviews, I found that the toilet block was clean, well decorated and of a good standard- absolutely no complaints here. Walks around lake were wonderful- shame you can't walk all the way to Castle Howard, but considering how much security they need there, I am not surprised. Cheap access with vouchers from the campsite to the Castle (£9. 50 each for two days within a week) was incredibly good value. Only disappointment was there are no pubs within 3 miles, but the quiet location (apart from the morning birds, LOL) with the lake walks with fantastic views of the Castle and a bottle (or two) of wine more than made up for it. I will go back again!
