a very enjoyable weekend

We have stayed at Thirsk Racecourse many times before. during this stay it was a race weekend and it rained! The new wardens had their work cut out for them but they managed perfectly. the pitches are on grass, so for motor homes this can be difficult. There is some road noise as behind the site is a long road which attracts speeding cars, but having being in the centre of town makes up for that. There is 3 lovely butchers shops selling the best in local meats, as well as pubs selling meals, restaurants and other local shops. we always enjoy the weekend and not forgetting the social club for a pint or two! I have heard some people complain about the showers being small, but remember they are clean and lashings of hot water.

We LOVE Thirsk!

We've recently returned from our annual visit to Thirsk Racecourse site and thoroughly enjoyed it as usual. The new wardens are very friendly and helpful but are also just as happy to let you get on with your stay, especially if they know you have been before. As has been mentioned, there is lots of traffic noise and you do get the lorries unloading at Lidl late at night hence my 2 star rating for peace and quiet, but hey, you are in the centre of a town. What else can you expect? The facilities are clean and all in all great value for what you pay. The location is what matters, 5 minutes walk into the centre of Thirsk with all it's lovely shops and pubs, easy access to the A19 and A1, York, the coast and North York Moors within easy reach. I do however have one minor complaint. Since last season, the taps on all of the service points have been replaced by domestic ( household ) taps. This means that the hoses for our aquaroll fillers will not attach to the taps and you have to stoop holding them while you fill your aquaroll. The hose is missing off the tap at the chemical waste disposal point too which means you are having to pick up the cassette and hold it up to the tap...... Not ideal, I think you will agree. You are also unable to rinse out your wastemaster because of the same issue. This isn't a major issue but could ideally be looked at. However, it certainly won't stop us coming back to Thirsk!

Good site

Just returned after 2 day break at Thirsk Racecourse site. We enjoyed our stay there Tesco and Lido supermarkets close to the site. The town has cobbled streets and friendly feel. The three tuns pub very good for meal. The facilities were clean, the wardens friendly, if you park closer to reception road noise not as noticeable.

Not the best site we have visited

Stayed over at this site for 2 nights on our way to Scotland in May 2016. We have stayed on better Racecourse affiliated sites. This one has no hardstanding pitches and the shower block was not up to the standard we normally expect. Very handy for the town and the Herriot Museum but apart from this we felt that the site was only just adequate as a stopover.

Only overnight

To be honest this site was not what I expect of the CC. Nothing more than a green car park, very noisy from local traffic and we won't bother going back.

Weekend break

Very noisy until early hours. Grass far too long. We weren't informed to get of by 10am from wardens.

Great central location

I spent 4 days here in mid-June, and the wonderful sun-god warden ladies did their stuff. Weather was fabulous, and it's a brilliant location for both the North York Moors and the Dales. Thirsk itself is a busy little town, and Tesco just over the road is very convenient. Plenty of good pubs for food in the nearby villages. There was some noise from Lidl, not to mention the pipe band practising until 10 pm at the nearby Fire Station, but nothing that would stop me staying there again. Toilet blocks are a bit tired, but spotless and perfectly functional - it should be remembered that these will belong to the racecourse, not the Caravan Club. I had a great time here, and will be going back. Its really good value.
