I could have sworn that the 0.5 acre description of the site was wrong but on reflection it's probably about right but the site definitely feels roomier than some other "0.5 acre" sites we've been on. There are 6 pitches in a long grassed paddock, bordered by trees next to the road and wooden posts and wire next to another paddock field used by sheep. Pitch as you want as the pitches are well spread out. All pitches were well mown and mostly free of cuttings. We could drive on and pitch sideways and still have room at either end of the car and caravan. There are 4 water points and EHU is easily accessible. The only bugbear is the "waste" facilities are at the entrance of the paddock, so a fair walk from the bottom of the paddock. There are 3 Hardstanding pitches sited outside the perimeter of the CL and these are charged, at time of writing, at £10 per night plus metered electricity at £0.62 per kWh. Charge on CL was £18 per night inclusive. The lane outside is generally quiet with light traffic usage. Access to site is OK as there are wide double gates and a wide turning in area. The approach road from Snainton village is passed parked cars at first then down a long straight but narrow road, with passing places for cars to get out of the way. Ignore the first CL sign you see just at the end of the houses (different one). We used the area for travelling around Pickering Vale but if you want to use buses you will need to walk back to the main road. Can't comment on any pubs or shops but a fellow member recommended the butchers. All in all the CL was a pleasant place to stay and there was nothing that would put us off using it again if in the area.
