(we take our grandkids with us a lot and expect them to be reprimanded if misbehaving, however, it seems some parents now think their kids can do anything they want.) location great for York, village pub great. pocklington nearest town with some shops, but it is so close to york and all the shopping anyway. shop on site has basics, and i mean basics! milk, bread, sweets. (stock up with wine before arrival!) never felt like a traveller site to us (an odd comment), we park on the 'platform', close to the entrance, and like the friendly feel to it all. boys love the playground and return with us when they can. no bar on site, so maybe too quiet for some. both owners helpful and know the area well, we have had some wonderful meals in the area, some 'hidden gems' can be found. (st vincent, sutton derwent is one) just found this new website, finding our way around, like it so far! sheila+bry ]]> Tue, 14 Sep 2010 18:43:34 -0600 1379-92 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/66-nyorshire/1379-fangfoss-park.html hi, this campsite has a lot of potential, great area, lovely helpful lady on reception. But there are some downsides to this site. First when you drive down the main thoroughfare to your pitch you can feel as though you are in a travellers site, as old and new caravans are stored next to pitches. Those with seasonal pitches have grass and weeds growing high around their vans. Toilets are closed at 10pm, its ok for us with vans but as for those with tents it can be quite annoying.Main gates are closed at 10pm too. Finally be careful of the warden...his manner with peoples children can leave a lot to be desired, he looks as though he just doesnt want to be there, but remember his wife is a lovely lady better to talk to her on reception if you have any problems ]]> Mon, 23 Aug 2010 13:10:13 -0600 812-91 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/69-east-riding/812-mr-moos-cl.html Great central location for visits to Scarborough, Bridlington etc... and only 40 minutes from York and Flamingo Land. I have now stayed here 2 years running and would recommend it to anyone especially families as there is a large flat enclosed field for the kids to play in safely. The ice cream parlour is excellent with friendly staff and great tasting ice cream of many wonderful flavours,they also do light lunches at resonable prices. I have found the easiest route is via the A 165 onto the B 1249 through Beeford and onto Skipsea.The only thing i think is missing is maybe a shower block, but for £9.75 (2010 prices) per night with hook up you can't go wrong. I will be visiting for many years to come. ]]> Mon, 16 Aug 2010 09:43:27 -0600 793-43 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/66-nyorshire/793-cayton-village-caravan-park.html Quite a good dog friendly campsite. Can't remember how much it is or if they charge for dogs, but it has a large field at the back for walking dogs (off lead) and about 1 mile up the road your onto Cayton Bay beach which is excellent for dogs, with no restrictions I'm aware of. The facilities on the site are fine. There's a few pubs in the village as well as a fish and chip shop and Morrisons supermarket is only a 5 minute drive away. The only negative thing I'd say is that some of the pitches are close together. ]]> Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:58:27 -0700 812-39 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/69-east-riding/812-mr-moos-cl.html This site is well placed for the East Coast, being just a couple of miles from Hornsea, and bit further from Bridlington. The site has 5 grass pitches in a gated area, well spaced out with neatly cut grass, bins and CDP, fresh water points nearby. There are also 3 hardstandings available in adverse weather, but these are actually part of the ice cream parlour car park. There are toilet facilities during opening hours and a key (deposit required) for after hours. It is a little near the road, (late night racetrack) but wouldn't let it put you off. Access is a little hairey if approaching from Hornsea, so would recommend approach from Beeford. The ice cream parlour on site is lovely, consisting of tea room, picnic tables and lovely snacks/teas and ice cream. There is a walk directly from the site to the beach, around 10 minute stroll, from where you can walk along the cliff/beach to Skirlington Market on a Sunday. ]]> Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:58:33 -0700 810-35 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/69-east-riding/810-thornwick-and-sea-farm-holiday-centre.html This site concentrates all of their attention on static vans. The touring pitches are very much an afterthought and not very well thought out as they are right at the back of a very large static site. Toilets are poor and in need of renovation. The entertainment complex is quite good with a choice of several bars with the obligatory take away, but are a long walk from the touring site. ]]> Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:51:31 -0700 784-27 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/66-nyorshire/784-blue-dolphin.html We stayed in 2004 in our trailer tent. The reception was welcoming and the pitch easy to locate. The touring field is located away from the main site and the entertainment facilities were a good 10 minute walk. The field is quite exposed and on hill with sloping pitches. The toilet facilities were vandalised when we visited, cracked mirrors, no plugs, mud smeared on the walls. Obviously the work of the less respectful children on the site. The indoor pool was always overcrowded and the changing facilities too small. It was too cold to use the outdoor pool. Facilities I thought were a bit grubby and the takeaway food of a poor reheated quality. The entertainment was good, but as with these places you had to get a seat by 7pm or not get one at all. All in all we wouldn't return to this site. ]]> Sat, 31 Oct 2009 23:03:34 -0600 802-25 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/66-nyorshire/802-goosewood.html Sat, 31 Oct 2009 22:48:17 -0600 788-24 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/66-nyorshire/788-ripley-caravan-park.html Sat, 31 Oct 2009 17:33:34 -0600 811-17 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/69-east-riding/811-skirlington-leisure-park.html The facilities offered at this site are second to none. The pitches are well spaced, the toilets, showers and washing facilities are spotless and the leisure facilities are very good. The Clubhouse has a welcome for everyone as there are rooms to cater for all, from families with young children to couples of all ages, and the meals on offer are very good and excellent value. There is a Basketball / 5 a side court, a 9 hole Golf course, supermarket, amusement arcade and a Sunday market which is well worth a look Original review 7 May 2004 ]]> Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:03:35 -0600
