A True CL - Excellent!
This is a no fuss, no frills CL that remains true to the original ethos of CLs. It has all the basics you need in a simple way, in a good accessible place with pleasant surroundings at a sensible fair price. We highly recommend it.
We dealt with Barbara who was delightful. There is a flat pitch price of £15 per night, and then electricity is metered. Barbara reads the meter in your arrival, and then again on your leaving and just settle up with her in cash. The current charge when we visited was .60p per Kw. We used 15 units for 3 night stay, so our maths made it £18 a night with electric which we think is very good nowadays. We are 7.45 mohome- we didn’t have heating on, but showers, cooking and hairdryer.
The site itself is a large flat grass field, surrounded by high hedge. If you pitch on entrance side, you can see the Cleveland Hills over hedge top. There is some road noise from A172, as site is straight off it, but we didn’t find it intrusive.
We walked into Stokesley from site, it is about a mile and half. There is a track alongside the bit of A172 that you need to walk along which is tolerable but once you branch off to your left to town there is a narrow pavement. Stokesley is lovely town with coop, butchers and fruit shops, cafes and pubs.
We would definitely go back when in that area again.
