First the Positives: This is a beautifully landscaped site, maintained immaculately, with clean and modern facilities and (when we were there) very friendly relief wardens. Everything that you would expect from a CAMC site. It has great views and it's very handily placed, not far from the A1(M). However: If you are in a motorhome, be aware that you will be effectively trapped on site, unless you choose to drive off somewhere in your van. There is a footpath outside the site signposted to Melsonby, which requires you to take your life in your hands crossing the A66 (dual carriageway), yet just 200 metres the other side of the A66 the footpath abruptly ends. Instead we tried to walk down the road to the village of Gilling West except the verges are not maintained, they are totally overgrown, making any walk there totally hazardous. The "Dog Walk" onsite is about the width of a skittle alley and should really be renamed "Dog Toilet". The first thing I had to do was pick up after other (inconsiderate) dog owners! So, given the lack of dog walking either on or offsite, if you have an active dog you really should find somewhere more appropriate to stay! The site is on quite a slope. The hardstanding pitches all look nice and level. But if you arrive at 1pm in a motorhome you are likely to be assigned a sloping grassy pitch (and as mentioned in other reviews there is no negotiation on this) so be prepared and bring ramps with you! Also as mentioned on other reviews the site is adjacent to the A66, and the road noise is incessant. So be prepared and take some sleeping pills and earplugs with you!
