Spent 2 nights here over Easter and although the wardens are lovely and the toilets are clean, they are also very old and dated. My main issue was with the noise. When we arrived there weren't many pitches available and the wardens did say that pitch 8 and 10 would have some road noise. We thought that it would probably calm down in the evening as these pitches backed onto the rear of the lidl car park. How wrong we were. We were woken at 1.30am on Sunday morning by the delivery truck at lidl, unloading barrels! This continued for over 1/2 hr. I think this is ridiculous! How can they make such a racket at such an unsociable hour. The Tesco car park opposite, also seems to become the local drag car racing circuit around 12 midnight. I don't think the caravans in the centre of the site got away with a good nights sleep either. Needless to say, we won't be returning, probably the worst cc site we've stayed at.
relaxing break
thirsk racecourse is a nice relaxing site. especially good for motorhomes as its only 5mins from the centre of thirsk, very clean toilets etc,will definitely return.

Great Location
Lovely Easter break. All grass pitches and because of weather the field was quite churned up and muddy. Facilities are definitely in need of an update and unfortunately a bit below expectation for a club managed site. Great location, Thirsk and the surrounding areas are well worth a visit.

We use this site regularity to visit family and love dislocation is fantastic and wardens are the best
One little tip park away from Lidl store fence as deliveries are during night and can be a bit noisy

Wouldn't Return
We pitched at the end of the site near the road (big mistake) disturbed through the night by deliveries to the Lidl store. There seemed to be an excessive amount of Boy Racers speeding up and down the road during the evenings and lots of noise through the day. Won't be coming back I'm afraid.
A Bit Tired
This site is in a lovely area and is a good base for exploring but is sadly far from attractive and suffers badly from road noise. The regimented rows of vans and open to all entrance gives it a temporary feel. The facilities are adequate and clean. This was not a site I would rush back to.
