 Stayed here for a couple of nights, easy to find just outside Pickering on the Malton Road, the entrance at the side of the Pub. Hardstanding, plenty of room with small hedges separating the pitches.

Never far away from drinking water. Showers and other facilities are top quality, very friendly in the reception and groundstaff very helpful. Easy flat walk into town which took us 25 mins, plenty of eating places and pubs ( Most dog friendly) A couple of supermarkets in town also.

Oh yeah a purpose built dog walk which was good but a little bit muddy the weekend we stayed. Lovely place

 Excellent site, no hassle level pitches with electric hook up and each pitch has its own area marked off with a hedge plenty of room for a large tent and car and privacy.

Shower and toilet block very clean. Utility room hairdryers, washing up station. The site was very handy for the East coast and North York

Moors. Had a great time will be returning soon I hope.

 We have just spent a week here for the 3rd year and it certainly doesn't disappoint. What a lovely place a really good base for surrounding coastline. The site itself is a credit to the owners. A very friendly place well presented and looked after.

Facilities are A+ from shower block to games room and a pub in site. A nice quiet getaway everyone friendly and no noise policy after 11pm!. A definite booking again. Dog friendly too! There are no cons with this site all good

 This campsite is probably the best I have visited, thus far. The plots are lovely, the people are friendly, and Kathy's toilets are awesome. The pub is well worth a visit for an absolutely fantastic meal at very reasonable prices.

There are lots of things to do, well within striking distance. I will definitely will be returning.

 This is a fantastic site. Booking by phone was easy & we received a very warm welcome. The reception area as well as check in has a small shop for basics, caravan & camping necessities, coffees & ices. The site is well laid out with separate areas for statics, seasonal & touring pitches all of which are pleasant.

The pitches are large, flat with nice hedging with a choice of grass or hard standing. The grass is nicely cut & the gravel pitches clean & tidy. The showers & toilets are clean, showers having large cubicles lovely hot water & are well maintained. There is a motor home drive over service point with all the necessary services close to the bin area which was well kept & recycling well done & tidy.

Great site for touring north yorks moors & East Yorkshire coast. We enjoyed a meal at the adjacent Black Bull pub which was good value.

 The site is on the A169 Old Malton to Pickering road and supported by a regular bus service, it would have been helpful if the reception had a bus time table posted and the sign for camp could do with being a bit more obvious or larger, as I missed it, but that could be down to my observation not being as sharp as it could be!.

I stayed here for 2 very enjoyable nights over 20th & 21st May 2017, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The facilities are heated, immaculately clean and well plenished. Plenty of hot water and space to change in the shower cubicles, there is also a cubicle for baby changing in the gents block. The whole site is very well maintained, and well laid out with very good facilities and a safe play area for kids. The reception has a small shop with essentials on sale should you need them.

The tent plots are a good size with electric hook up. There had been a couple of bad reviews highlighting the hawthorn hedging as an issue, they must have been extremely unlucky, as I did not encounter any issues, no thorns sticking in my tent or through my flip flops. The hedge rows offer some wind protection and privacy. There are plenty of fresh water taps positioned around the site.

The A169 is a busy road, traffic noise can be heard, but this soon becomes unnoticeable. It is ideally situated for both Pickering and Malton (and the Eden Camp), with Whitby only a 40 minute drive away. The site is situated at the rear of the Black Bull Inn (different owners) which offers a friendly and quick service, a good place to partake in a few ales and the menu offers a good choice of well prepared meals.

This site gets full marks, and highly recommended, I will definitely be returning if I am visiting the area again. Pickering and Malton have regular events throughout the year, so it shouldn't be long before I'm back.

 What a lovely site. The grounds are kept immaculate and the showers and toilets are impeccable. We were warmly welcomed by the friendly wardens who escorted us to our spacious pitch, most of which have been newly gravelled. It even felt like we had our own little garden. The site feels spacious and there's plenty room to manuvre motorhomes & caravans.

There's a brand new reception, a small shop and an indoor games room. The site has a good sized outdoor playground for the kids and a crazy golf.

The site is well located with two pubs within easy walking distance. Both serve good quality and reasonably priced meals.

Pickering is just down the road and a regular bus services stops outside the camp if you want leave the car.

We will definitely return to this little gem of a site

Reviewer: Rufushound 1 review from this member

 We visted this site for a week over the Easter 2017 period. Firstly the site is very well located and the facilities on site were very good. The pub behind the campsite is dog friendly and serves up some good food, worth booking a table at weekends though.

It does sadden me to have to write a negative part to my review as overall the site does tick all the boxes.

The pitches are large but each pitch is segregated with hawthorn bushes. These bushes had been trimmed at some point but this had left big thorns all over our pitch.

Whilst setting up I had to pull several thorns out of my footwear so I went round out pitch and picked most up which filled a carrier bag full as our dog had also stood on one hurting his paw.

Three days before we were due to come home we noticed that one of the beams on our air awning had deflated, it wasn't until packing it away that we could confirm that one of the thorns had pierced it causing it to go down.

My partner went into the office to make them aware of this situation as other folk we had spoken to whilst on holiday had said they had the same problem with them going through their flip flops into their foot.

The wardens on duty didn't want to know when we made them aware of this infact all we got back was sarcasm from the male warden.

My advice to anybody visiting this site with children, dogs and blow up awnings would be to thoroughly check your pitch for thorns before pitching up.

This situation is a shame as overall we had a good holiday but we wont be returning here again.

 Our 8th UK Woosiefest took place here. Some were here for 10 nights.

The pitches are large, part grass part gravel. Best of both worlds.

Reasonably well sheltered and although there is a nearby main road not noisy.

Dog walk is okay very long and narrow. Okay for throwing a ball. Plenty of dog bins.

Each pitch is hedge screened and quite a gap from your neighbours. Privacy is fine.

Toilet block for some may be a bit of a walk.

Those at the far end are provided with Executive Quality portacabin toilets. 60 seconds walk away is The Black Bull Inn. High quality food at low prices. Be sure you are hungry.

This site is that good that we have just booked another two weeks in June 2017.

The entire area is great for exploration too.

If I had one wish it would be for a couple more grey and brown waste disposal points. However the exercise is good for you!

A very well looked after site. They even get your daily newspapers for you.

 One of my favourite sites, Lovely big private pitches, super clean shower block, dog walking area on site, pub on site ( with good food and real ale), play area for the little ones and small games room for the teens. Only 20 mins from dalby forest, scarborough, etc. And to top it all off great friendly helpful staff too.
