We stayed at the Racecourse site for three night in mid-May '24. We arrived on the day before a race meeting, so we knew that we'd have to move to the 'Rally Field' until after the meeting, the following day. We were met by the wardens, Gary and Lisa, at the normal site reception and they explained how to get to the rally field and when we'd get back. The rally field is on the North side of the racecourse and is very peaceful. It is also used as a rugby pitch and also the horse-boxes park there at a race meeting. It's a little walk to the site facilities, maybe 5 minutes, but you can still use them if you don't want to use your own. We were able to move to the main pitch around 7-8pm on the race day, when 'most' of the parked cars had gone. The facilities are a bit dated, but the site wardens kept them really clean and they worked fine. OK, they need modernised, but they're obviously owned by the racecourse, so that would be up to them. They were perfectly adequate and there was plenty really hot water for showers and dishwashing etc. We'd stay here again as Thirsk is a lovely little place....though quite 'lively' on a race day. We didn't have any problems though and there are great local restaurants. Bianco Restorante is fantastic and brilliant value for money and the Racha Thai Bistro is also very nice. Thirsk market square is 5 minutes walk and there are lovely walks around the area. Could be better? maybe, but it was perfectly fine and we had a great stay. We'll definitely be back at some point.
