When is a CL not a CL....
Although not a bad site, at around 0.3 of an acre it is too small for 5 caravans in my opinion. Also, just over a small fence is another camp site. This other campsite uses all the facilities of the CL and uses the CL via a gate as a thoroughfare to the road. When we arrived there were two other caravans on this other site so really making the CL 7 vans.
Top tip if you do visit this site and have a large van don't approach the entrance from the East as the entrance is orientated one way and is too tight without going up on the bank. So if you come in from Bedale direction don't take the turn to Thornton Watlass with the white railings but take the next junction. This will allow you to come into the site from the West.
The overall area is great though and a host of great pubs and coffee places within a few miles. Ones id recommend are the Sprouted Kitchen in Bedale and the Johnny Bagdads Cafe in Masham, both unique places with great food. The local pub in Watlass, The Buck Inn is quite nice too and right next to the site. The food isn't bad but I have personal hate for frozen chips so only went once.
