Lovely stay away from the hustle and bustle and a very nice pint.
Powered grass tent campsite
Liked Had a great couple of days trying out our new tent. Good facilities and very friendly manager. Decent walk to a very friendly pub but a little hairy on some of the bends in the road but all drivers were careful and courteous. Beautiful clear skies for nighttime photography.
Disliked Some of the other campers were obviously novices and just abandoned brand new tents in the bin. Kids were a bit noisy but they were enjoying their holidays and all was quiet around our pitch by 10.30. Some campers felt that they owned the site and were very rude to the site manager/owner even though he was polite and reasonable with them.

Disliked Nothing was great!

Good clean site with facilities and Friendly owner
Powered grass tent campsite
Liked Friendly owner & two Labrador dogs.
Large pitches, excellent for family tents.
Long drive so the campsite is fairly quiet and away from the traffic noise.
Two (pay as you use £1) showers available and separate toilets, kept clean and always have toilet paper available.
Fairly centrally located with Scarborough about 35 minutes away.
WiFi available for the children.
Disliked Don't use sat nav or Google maps to find the campsite as it takes you down some small lanes unsuitable for larger vehicles. Best to drive to Pickering follow A170 and look for a turn on the left for Normanby and the campsite is on the left after you drive through the village.
