Convenient stopover

This was a great value stopover en route to Scotland. Take care on entering and leaving the site as you could easily "bottom" your van. The waste and chemical disposal could do with updating and the showers were tiny but the staff were very friendly and welcoming and it's an easy stroll into town. I wouldn't want to stay for a holiday but great for a break in the journey.

Nice & friendly

Second visit to Thirsk site and enjoyed it all the more. Great location in friendly town with all facilities and within walking distance. Facilities basic but spotless. Graeme and Linda, the wardens, are an ACE couple and add to the enjoyment of your stay. Looking forward to our next visit.

Thirsk racecourse

Love coming to this site, it may not be the most modern but the site team keep the place well maintained an clean. Even when the racing is on and you have to go to the rally field it's great as you get a great view of the racing and Graham get's you back on the main site as soon as he cleans and sets it out. Great place for shops and the local town and if your lucky you get free WiFi from Tesco across the road. All in all great site ran by a great team.

Great Site

We love this site. The wardens are the best, always cheerful and helpful and always make you feel welcome. The toilet area is a little dated but are always kept absolutely spotlessly clean. It is a very friendly site. Spitting distance is a Tesco and Lidl store so no probs getting any provisions on your stay. The site does not have much of a view unless your lucky enough to get a pitch overlooking the racecourse. However, do not let this put you off as you are only a few minutes walk into the very pretty market town of Thirsk with all that has to offer. There are some lovely local walks, eateries to suit all tastes and budgets, a reasonable variety of shops half of which are NOT boarded up as in most places. The site is also ideally situated for exploring some of the lovely areas North Yorkshire has to offer. There's also a good bus service from the Market Place going into places like York, Ripon, Northallerton etc. We're back here several more times this year, so for us that speaks volumes.

Does what it says.

Arrived about 17:30 on Friday, the site was fully booked so we had limited pitch choice, we had booked a non awning pitch, we ended up on pitch 20 which is close to all the site facilities and away from the road and supermarket noise a good plus point, the wardens on the other hand I will asume were having a bad day as we found them to be not the most helpful we have come across. I will not moan about the showers etc as I belive that this has been done on other reviews they are clean and usable. This may all sound negative but the site does have great positives its proximity to Thirsk and surronding areas the friendliness of other caravanners on site and the space of the pitches. Great base to explore the wonders that Yorkshire has to offer. Overall enjoyed our short stay and in time would return.

Come on, be fair

the negative comments are very unfair. This is a typical racecourse site, the racecourse won't spend money and the club manages it. One of the flattest fields I've stayed on, so close to the town (which doesn't really have a lot but that is not the fault of the club) and two supermarkets next door. Does it really matter if the toilet cubicles are made of painted plywood instead of plastic coated wallboard. They were spotless which in my mind is all that matters. The grass is kept really short, drainage is excellent, no muddy areas after a night of terrential rain and friendly helpful wardens/site managers. So well placed for journeys north or south and only £14 per night, cheaper than some CL's these days.

Well below Caravan Standards

Well im sorry to say we will not be back to this site. Yes the site is within easy walking distance of Thirsk. The wardens were very helpful and try their best but the toilet block, while clean was a disgrace. It needs knocking down and a new one bulit. We have been in the caravan club for 17 years and it the first time my wife has used our shower in the caravan as she found the ' cupboard ' shower and when i say cupboard i mean cupboard as thats what they are very claustrophobic. The Caravan Club should be ashamed to have their name associated with this site

nice site

a well situated site for walking in to Thirsk,the facilities are dated and could do with upgrading not normal caravan club standard,my wife and myself feel that the wardens could do with been a little more welcoming e.g like saying good morning asking if everything is okay and smiling abit more. there is noise from the supermarkets but you can't blame the caravan club for that its the police who should be chasing the boy racers from the car parks.it is a pleasant site and will be using again

lovely town

This was our first time at the racecourse site. Wardens were second to none, very welcoming & friendly. Site facilities not up to usual club standards & could do with an upgrade. We did use caravan facilities for this reason. The site itself is well positioned for the lovely town of Thirsk & we can imagine it will always be booked up even with sub standard facilities. We will return to the town, whether that is with caravan or to stay in one of the many guest houses/pubs in the area.
