Disappointed

We were very disappointed with the Thirsk site. On arrival the site was very poorly sign posted and we noticed that there was no barrier to keep people out of the site grounds. The reception area was a the furthest point away from the road therefore the site wardens would not see people entering the site. The toilet and shower block was very old and dated. The showers were very small cubicles and even my young daughter complained. During our stay the electricity tripped several times and we were told that the pitch is only 10 amps and to use our gas as we were using too many electrical appliances even tough we had paid for electric hook up. The site grass was very long and not what we have previously been use to on other caravan club sites. The only good thing about the site is the location with only a short distance into Thirsk.

High rate of return..........

Well situated, being just a stone's throw away from Thirsk town centre.We stayed for the third time the week before Easter and will definitely return again. Everyone we spoke to had stayed at the site several times, and it's quite understandable why.

Dog poo

Visit the site on 9th April 2 nd time ,showers not the norm but nipping clean wardens friendly and helpful ( grass a bit long ) but my main question was dogs i saw at least 3 different members walking dogs between pitches letting there dogs poo in the grass on people's pitches fortunately for them not mine, although they picked it up,the thought of my grand children playing in the grass uggg i think you need signs up and any member letting there dogs poo anywhere on the site should be asked to leave and have the membership revoked

Easter 2017

Arrived late to find note pinned to reception.no problem however we struggled to find water and bins.Site is not the normal pristine club site.Grass is left too long for our liking and toilet block is very dated.Handy for Thirsk town centre but adjacent A61 road noise is a distraction.Hope club would consider updating before revisiting.

Thirsk Racecourse

Site entrance has no barriers and therefore didn't have the same secure feel as other sites with security entrance. Toilets and showers were extremely tired and cramped and although clean, they are in desperate need of being modernised to reflect the usual club standards. Racecourse signage was unwelcoming, making you feel more of an intruder rather than a paying guest on this site. Although the site location is extremely convenient for local shops and amenities I would hesitate to stay again until facilities are upgraded.

What a Rinky Dink site!

Firstly I have no problem with the wardens they were very helpful. My main complaint is about the showers and I make no apology for raising it again. The first problem is that the cubicles are extremely cramped. On the occasion of my first shower the experience was awful. I have read the club's reply to a previous comment but even if I had known the ideal setting it would have been impossible as I am not in the habit of taking my reading classes into the shower. There were no instructions and as the showers are different to those found in C&MC what chance do we have. The following morning I had detailed instructions from the warden which helped and enabled me to achieve the recommended setting but this merely raised the standard to adequate. The motorhome "grey water" dump was far from convenient. This site is definitely not worth the £19.40 per night that I paid. Subsequently, I stayed on private sites at Whitby and Hull, both were far superior and less expensive.

Thirsk race cource

Stayed here 3/4-5/4 staff very friendly and helpful, biggest let down, facilities past their best but adequate, the showers were bordering on dangerous both my wife and I's showers went from extremely hot to stone cold making showering difficult!! Having said that site in good location and we would stay there again.

Comment from the Club:

Many thanks for leaving a review and we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at the site. The wardens just wanted to clear up any confusion regarding the showers and would like to reassure guests that the showers are regularly maintained and operating correctly. The showers are electric showers so ideally the setting needs to be set to high and then the temperature dial needs to be set to halfway to achieve a pleasant shower temperature. Electric showers by nature sometimes have a slight fluctuation in temperature especially if a number of showers are drawing water at the same time however the dial is easily adjusted and should not cause any issues. I hope this helps for the future and the wardens hope to welcome you again soon.

Short break in Thirsk

A good site for exploring Thirsk and surrounding area. Helpful Tourist Information leading to some excellent walks direct from site. The site facilities a little tired but usable. Wardens excellent.Very much enjoyed our three nights stay.

Great location

We visited the Thirsk site at the weekend and what a great time we had, it's a pleasant quiet site located on the edge of town. Although the facilities are a little old they are immaculately kept, the site wardens couldn't be better, helpful, friendly and constantly busy. The grass is well kept, everything neat and tidy. Thirsk is a pleasant market town with plenty of places to eat and drink, lots of things to do in the area to. A good spot to start the season off.

Great site to Visit Thirsk

A good site for visiting the area and the lovely town of Thirsk. The site is a bit noisy with the nearby roads but you are in a town so its to be expected. We enjoyed our stay there as it was a great base for days out. One note of caution if your are leaving the site to head for the East coast do not take the A170 as this road has Sutton Bank along its route and caravans are banned from using this road. We would happily visit again.
