 Excellent base for mountain biking in dalby forest. Very friendly and helpful warden who allowed my daughter to inflate her inflatable mattress using the plug in the camp office at 9. 30 on a friday night as there are no electric points in the very clean and well equipped toilet blocks. Great to see lots of young families enjoying the outdoor life on a campsite ideally suited.

Been to this site on and off since about 2003. And although its slowly got larger its not lost any of its character, Over that time the facility's have improved along with expansion, (when I first went the services consisted of 2 outdoor toilets and a outdoor cold tap / sink.
Ive not been for a few years but the 'new' toilet block has been enlarged and is now a modern heated affair with the gents having 4 showers 4 stalls and a couple of urinals. Showers are good and hot although there is no way of keeping your shoes dry. Other than that the Toilet block is nice and clean and well presented.
The main 2 fields are lightly sloping but reasonably level pitches with nice views out over farm land.
On arrival Wendy showed us a selection of pitches so we could decide for ourself where we wanted to be, . And popped by after a few hours to see how we were settling in.
Been on the Edge of Dalby there is plenty to do in the immediate area although food shopping ideally needs a trip to Pickering or Malton as the costcutter in Thornton-le-Dale is rather pricy and only stocks the basics.
As the site grows its kept its charm but could probably benefit from a small children's play area so they could blow off some steam whilst diner is cooking.
Oh and we are booked to go back in 6 weeks time :)

This is a lovely site near the entrance to Dalby Forest near Pickering. Access is easy if taken from the Whitby road and not from Sutton le Hole. It is a reasonably flat grass site with lovely views and sunsets.
It has the potential to be a lovely peaceful site, Monday to Friday during term time, but we visited on a very busy weekend and there were lots of families with small children. There were notices all over saying no ball games but I think people can't read! Balls hit the caravan twice.
There are direct walks into the forest for people with dogs.
Although we found it quite noisy we will definitely visit again, it is in a perfect position for visiting the North Yorkshire Moors.

This is my favourite campsite in the whole world.
May Day bank holiday was our 3rd visit and I was surprised to see many improvements to this already excellent site - the main one being the installation of a instantaneous hot water system.
Wendy, the site owner, greeted us in her usual friendly manner and showed us to our pitch - which was large, flat, with EHU.
The site is enhanced considerably by its proximity to Dalby Forest, which means entrance can easily be made on foot or by bicycle - no need to pay the £7/day entrance fee. Despite its proximity to the forest entrance, the site is very peaceful and the views superb.
From the campsite we like to walk into Thornton Dale via Ellerburn, usually for dinner and a pint. Alternatively, the Fox & Rabbit at Lockton is a steady walk in the opposite direction. For the more adventurous, the Horseshoe Inn at Levisham has excellent food.
We're going back in July and can't wait.

First time we've been to this site and what a beauty!When you book in you wonder were you've come! Then going through the gate and you're in a different world!The views are brilliant.
Lovely size pitch backing up to the working farm barn and water at hand. Pitched up in no time and straight into the forest behind with the dogs onto a lovely short walk. BBQ'd and opened a few beers and just listened to the different birds, watched the lambs and cattle and totally relaxed. On Saturday we went into Thornton le dale and did a few walks we'd got from the internet which were all around the village and really good. Thornton is really nice. On Sunday we had a great walk in Dalby forest and watched the fun on Go Ape. So good we've arranged a family weekend at the farm as they are putting Pods in so booked 2 Pods and a touring caravan in front so they can all come and enjoy the views and the site. Toilet block is basic but always nice and clean and plenty of hot water. Basically you cannot fault the place. The owners are really friendly and easy to talk to, they just want people to enjoy themselves. Give them a try I'm sure, just like us, you will be back.

My first ever run out in a camper van was to this lovely little camp site. I was actually a day late after a mix up on my part but they were ever so good with no extra charge for turning up a day late after booking earlier in the week. I did not meet Wendy but Jim was very welcoming and asked me if I needed to know anything about the area and also came round the day after came up to me personally and asked if every thing was O. K. Which was a nice touch.
The site itself is what I like, quiet with not many children as there is not much for them to do there with no ball games or play area. The pitches are a good distance apart also and pretty flat.
Only stayed 2 nights but it's a lovely little spot in a lovely area and a nice little village with pubs and eating places nearby.

The location of this site is amazing. You can walk or cycle straight into Dalby Forest and the views from the site are lovely. The site itself is well kept and most of the pitches flat and easy to pitch on.
The owner was very helpful on arrival and showed us to our pitch and pointed out the facilities. The pitches are quite big and some have hook ups. We had a lovely stay at Pexton Moor but was a little disappointed with the facilities. There are only two toilets and two showers in the ladies and the same in the gents. This was ok and we didn't have to queue but the problem we found was there was no heating in the shower block so it was very cold trying to get dressed when you had showered. The showers seemed to remain wet through all the time because there was no heat to dry them out, the floor was always wet. Other than that it's a lovely site but I would rather go in July or August when it will not be so cold having a shower.

This is one of those sites that you want to keep secret but also want to tell people about! What a lovely site. Perfectly placed for those wanting to enjoy Dalby forest especially for cyclists as it is right on the edge of the forest. The site doesn't allow ball games as there isn't really room so no football but the kids that were there seemed quite happy playing catch or badminton. This meant that the site was always nice and quiet. Most people disappeared during the day. The facilities are good. 2 free showers (one with a loo) and 2 loos was perfectly adequate most of the time and they were clean and tidy. Covered washing up area. The hot water did run out when the site was busy but we didn't have a problem, it was back on after an hour or so. The pitches are marked and are plenty big enough for a tent/car and space to sit. Apart from the forest it is great for York (park and ride) and the coast and moors. Thornton le Dale (2. 5 mile) is very pretty and has shops and pubs. Wendy and her Husband are really welcoming and the site is beautifully kept. We'll be back!

Excellent site with clean wash facilities, plenty of hot water, covered pot washing area. Generous pitches some with electric, £12p/n, £15p/n with electric. Ideal site for walking or cycling in Dalby forest. About a mile from the beautiful village of Thornton Le Dale. Visited this site on numerous occasions this site is a credit to Wendy and her family. Can get booked up so booking early is a must. Beautiful surroundings.

Very pleasant site - small, quiet, clean and well run. Perfectly placed for Dalby Forest.
Facilities are a little dated but I don't mind that as long as they're clean and functional. Which they were!
Only complaint: one washing up basin isn't really enough.
Will definitely return.
