Our lucky day!
A last minute change of plan meant that we could go away for the Easter weekend if we could find a CL... The recent heavy rain ruled out a number of CLs near Helmsley so looked further afield and came across Bank Head which, unbelievably, had availability. Not too sure what... Show more

Beautiful Site
We stayed over the Easter weekend and found this site to be perfect for us. Beautiful views, well maintained site and facilities and easy to get into Northallerton. Site owners were lovely too. We will definitely return.

A REAL GEM
Spent six nights at this excellent site. Very quiet, no road noise, lovely views and a friendly owner. We have owned a caravan for over twenty years and this is one of the nicest sites we have used. Will definitely return if we visit this area again..

Friendly and quiet (don't tell everyone)
Pitches are large, and even when having to pitch to one side to allow the grass to recover you are not on top of your neighbour. The field is pretty flat, with minimal additional levelling needed. There was a very slight 'buzz' from the A19 but this came... Show more
