 Good site

Great Fishing

Beautiful location

Clean toilets

Shame about the clubhouse policy on no kids despite the 'adult side' being empty we had to sit in the lean to that is the kids room , but this did not spoil what was a great weekend.

Will be going back

 Have been to Burton Constable site 3 times, most recently 20th/21st June 2008. Lovely site with good facilities. Camped right next to childrens playground which my nine year old loved. Tent pitches are all marked out (they will designate an area for you)so if you want to be next to each other you have to book together (this is relatively new, didn't do this 3 years ago)

Clubhouse has small area for children, can get busy but great if it is raining and chilly.

The Constable Arms in the village is a nice pub which does food, probably a 20 minute walk because Burton Constable has a very long driveway which looks very impressive as you drive up.

Toilet block clean and warm with radio piped in which is a nice touch

Overall lovely site not too far from Hull. ASDA store about 20 mins driveaway for supplies

 We love this site! We first visited last summer followed by a few more visits in the autumn and more recently, this Easter.

The options of hill or lakeside pitching is down to personal preference. If you have young children then the lakes need not be a great concern as you can pitch on the hill away from the lake. We prefer lakeside where we can watch the wildlife, which can be wonderful here.

The site boasts a great little shop and a clubhouse for those who like a pint. The single toilet block is very modern, clean and the piped music is a nice touch.

There are few downsides to this site such as the problems of getting your van off the grass in very wet weather. At Easter, once the snows had melted our Mondeo had no chance of pulling off our van over the grass to the road. We managed to use the movers to take us off, but now we are 4x4 enabled, this will not be a problem. The site does have a 4x4 for such times though! The only other relatively minor downside, is the goose poo. There are hundreds of wild geese in the vicinity leaving their calling card, but as I enjoy watching them fly around so a good trade off.

Civilisation is not too far away with a big Asda only 10 minutes away complete with pharmacy etc. This site gives the 'away from it all' feeling without being too far away from life's little luxuries.

 Very clean site well maintained though expensive.

Showers were running cold on more than one occasion which was dissapointing since they could not have been in heavy use as there were plenty of spaces on the site.

It can be difficult to find a level site as there is a noticable slope to most of the land so get ready for some levelling work and take your blocks as naturally everyone has used any that are laid about

The biggest down we had was when we returned very late one evening having been out to a party until the early hours. The pass you use to allow your car onto the site would not work (its an electronic drawbridge type thing, you get a pass like a credit card) so we were unable to get onto the site. This meant a half mile walk to our caravan in high heels or bare feet which after partying all night was a complete disaster! It was pouring with rain freezing cold and our clothes were drenched etc etc and all becuase we could not get the car onto the site despite trying everything we could think of.

We ended up literally with bleeding feet and a spoiled holiday. Annoyingly the pass had not been reactivated as they had not realised the length of our stay - despite taking the extra money! The card raised the drawbridge to allow us out ok but not back in.

So take a pair of flat heels with you if you are going out and a big coat just in case

They were apologetic but the harm was done. You may also notice that all over the place are little blue signs telling you not to do things, this is a bit annoying after a while as you feel nagged about absolutley everything. We did start to find it funny though.

We were rather suprised to see a little blue sign asking for donations for daffodil bulbs for the woods. Now I love the daffodils as much as anyone but this is a paid for site which charges quite high fees so I think they should just pay for their own bulbs! It did seem like a bit of a cheek to us. Its not as if anyone but those who pay to get in can walk in the woods and enjoy the flowwers.

 Best showers I've had for warmth.  One of the 4/5 ladies was really powerful too.  A very busy site, felt a bit cramped on the small tent field.  
Needs higher hedging for extra wind protection.  Nice short grass & facilities cleaned very often.  Security patrol.  Tent sites next to play area - with something for all ages.  Great if you like fishing.  Most unimpressed with our neighbour's DVD!  As others have said, it's a bit pricey.

 This is a very well maintained site, if not a little expensive. With two of us attending for two nights we were told it would be £24, on arrival and advising the attendants we had a 3 man (although small) tent the price went up to £30. This wouldn't have bothered me much however we were pretty contained unlike other campers who seemed to "spread out" - it didn't feel justified.

The field for camping was great, very flat and away from the caravans. A 2-3 minute walk to the shower/toilet and laundry facilities. The facilities were adequate, however the shows didn't seem to work as well as they could. The water was always warm though.

With an on-site shop, and licensed bar (which wasn't really the place for us younger folk) there is plenty to keep you well supplied on your trip. Not the site to go to if you like to "rough it" though!

 Arrived Friday evening around 7 to a warm welcome. The site entrance very impressive. A lovely drive through the site to the tent field. Found a lovely spot on the top sheltered by conifers.

Plenty of room to pitch, services near by. Toilet/Shower block clean,poss do with a little updating but overall good. The views and surrounding area was worth going for. We didn't really want to write a review because we wanted to keep this place to ourselves. Lovely walks around the lake and the wildlife was fascinating. It really felt we were getting away from it all. The bar was large and bright, only downfall the childrens room could be a big bigger, but most were outside their tents/caravans but when the weather is not good it would be a squash.

We liked it so much we are returning again in a weeks time, this time to fish as the fishing is excellent.

Overall a place worth visiting

 Stayed here this weekend,what a lovely site ,clean toilet blocks, pleasant staff, shop selling the basics, plus papers! Good local pub selling very reasonably priced meals at end of drive (plus a little walk ), bus service to Hull and Hornsea-make sure you get the right bus stop! (Thank you little white-haired local lady !).
Only down side was the bird scarers in a field someway behind,I think, which went off every 1/4 hour from 8 am. Good job we wanted to be off early to put our national bets on.

 Stayed at Burton Constable for 5 nights over the Easter weekend as a party of two motorhomes and one family sized tent. We arrived on the Thursday before the Good Friday to find an already busy site, which with exception of a handful of pitches, became full by mid day Friday. Despite the full turn out the site never felt busy which pleased us as we don’t usually aim for large sites like this. Most pitches are well spaced out with ample of space. From what we could see, all pitches had a view over the lakes with Burton Constable Hall in the back ground. The view is largely helped by the sloping ground which could cause problems on some pitches for larger caravans and be impossible for motorhomes. The majority of pitches looked fine though once sufficient blocks were in place. There is a dedicated motor home area which we can only describe as a graveled car-park, not even a level one at that, as some of the motorhomes on it still had to use level blocks! Although the ground is uneven, we didn't’t hear of or see any problems and the wardens are very helpful and carry plenty of blocks on their quad bikes should you need them. The tent area is to the back, but not out of the way or segmented from everyone. There are some electric points for tents and the ground in this area was still slightly sloping but nothing that would cause any problems from what we noted. The whole site is very well maintained with wardens regularly doing their rounds checking the facilities and picking up the litter some campers feel they can drop. There are plenty of refuse, water and elsan points. The touring area has one main central toilet block which was well kept and modern and looked to handle the Easter crowed, although we never managed to get there during peak times due to our being lazy in the mornings. A walk around the house and grounds are worth the discounted rate and the fishing is reported to be good, although my father didn't break any records with his catches! The small on site bar was pleasant and reasonably priced and didn't generate a rowdy closing time across the site. The no smoking policy was very welcome as was the outside seating for the sunny weather that we were lucky enough to have. We didn't venture off the site so can’t comment on the surrounding area. The children’s play area is spacious and well kitted out. Watch out for the odd football though from the young footballers – their pitch wasn't’t that practical with is deep troughs and trees so they used the climbing frames as goals and took over half the play area! The only down side was the electric which kept tripping out. No it wasn't’t us with the kettle, heater and hot water on together, but a problem that affected a block of electric points. We think it was an issue of the system not being able to handle everyone’s heating demands as it appeared to happen around the same time late evening. The wardens were quick to attend and correct the problem but had to attend to the same problem several times through the evening. There is a large privately owned static section and an area under development for holiday cottages, but again, the site seemed to cope over Easter. All in all an excellent stay and we would return. Hope our comments help.

 The boss and I have been to this site 4 times and We would like to make the following comments.Top quality site with top rate well motivated staff. If you don't finish work until 7 o'clock like me, it's hard to find a site that takes late arrivals up to 10pm - NOT a problem here.Most pitches have a lake view and they will pull you out if your outfit gets stuck.Take a slow walk around the lakes, sit for a while and soak up the surroundings. The toilets, showers etc are spotless - honest! Plenty of hard standings for motorhomes, If you like to fish like I do the lakes are well stocked for both the novice or specimen angler alike. The only down side is the site is out in the sticks a bit but we tow the car with us when we go there so it is not too much of a problem. Small shop on site which is stocked with essentials, fishing baits etc and other caravan bits and pieces. Grounds exceptionally well groomed. Never been in the bar area as we are not big drinkers but looks very nice.
