Liked: 2 playgrounds. Indoor barn. Very clean facilities. Well stocked shop. Friendly staff. Opposite a big play friend. Our pitch had asteo turf so wasn't boggy and very flat.
Disliked: Not their fault but very windy on the top row! Next time will be a row down.
Is abit hilly for those who struggle! (We didn't mind it)
Is in the middle of nowhere but plenty tk drive to - thirsk, Moor allerton, Malton etc

Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked: The hard standing which we were allocated was in a good spot G19, close to all the amenities and relatively quiet.
If you have children then this could be the site for you. Nicely situated for trips out to various local attractions and villages.
Disliked: It’s very big and busy site with lots of children. The pitch on which we were allocated was on the route to the play barn, so we had a bit or children traffic, but not too much to be too bothered. In my opinion, this site is more suited to families, so unfortunately this site is not for us and won’t be returning.

Liked: Facilities were excellent and everywhere was pristine. Modern and clean shower and toilets, showers and dishwashing area. Great on site shop with all the essentials and sweets/toys for the kids. Two fantastic parks for the kids with a football field, basketball and a large dog walking area. Games room with pool, table tennis, table football. If you’re camping there’s also a hut with hot drinks machine, microwave and freezer. Very peaceful and scenic area and good access. Coffee trailer there on a weekend serving hot and cold drinks and cakes. There is wifi available to purchase on site but I found the 4G coverage was excellent so did not need wifi.
Disliked: The only thing I’d say was a negative was the remote location. It’s not a huge issue and we didn’t have a problem as we’d taken everything we needed but if travelling in a large motorhome like us, and don’t have use of a car to travel while on site then there’s nowhere nearby to walk to and nearest bus stop is a walk of a mile away. Suggest maybe a fish n chip van or pizza van on a weekend?

Liked: The site was great, there were two outdoor play areas for kids and an indoor barn with soft play frame, pool table and indoor toys. Staff were all really friendly and accomodating and it was all well kept and clean.
Shower facilities were spotless and seemed to be cleaned throughout the day
