Amazed what a busy town Thirsk is.

Only a handful of pitches have any view of the racecourse and buildings, mostly it’s a field surrounded by a fence with no particular view. So, not quite the atmospheric surroundings the Club photos might suggest. There is a dog walk which is a strip of grass at the back of the car park. Not an issue for us but seems cheeky to say it has a dog walk. The toilet/ reception block is very dated but clean and functional. The motorhome service is split into a fresh water tap near the entrance to the site ( which is easy to overlook) and a grey water disposal point nearer to reception placed by someone who has almost certainly never even seen a motorhome. The site badly needs more fresh water points and another elsan point - there is one at the far end of the site. There is a fair bit of road noise - if you have a pitch backing onto the fence then you have either a main road or the service road to Lidl behind you. The central pitches aren’t marked in any way other than the marker pegs as it’s grass so there is a wandering line of units and a couple of the pitches have fire safety points within their space - you have very little room but great if you are very worried about fire I guess. However, very handy for Tesco and Lidl and the town of Thirsk. I can’t imagine how you could park a motorhome any nearer to the town and even car parking in the centre is limited. The wardens were very friendly. I’ve never been to Thirsk before and it is quite interesting and I liked the James Herriot place ( memories of my grandmother who was a big fan). Amazingly busy town centre - not somewhere to go for a quiet weekend.
