just returned from 6 days here. Two field gates to go through to get to the CL. The pitches are all hardstanding but narrow and so the awning was pitched on the grass. This however was probably easier than trying to drive the pegs into the hardcore. The grass around the pitches was mown and collected so no grass clippings to deal with. it is not collected on the large open area in the front of the pitches. The picnic table and umbrella to each pitch was handy. We had a wonderful meal in the pub, if a little expensive. A small discount for members using the site would be a nice touch. We also went on the NY Moors Railway and drove the 3-4 miles to Levisham Station to catch the train. Only £3 to park there. Easier and cheaper than trying to park in Pickering. The site was extremely quiet and very dark on a night so remember a torch for walking back from the pub at night. Good for skywatching though. There are no views of the surrounding landscape as the site is totally surrounded by tall trees, but the site itself is large, open and pleasant.
