The Hillside Caravan Park is an absolute gem. We recently stayed at Hillside from Friday till Monday and when we arrived our caravan which is in storage was ready for our arrival. It meant just connecting the Services. Hillside facilities are excellent with the toilet block spotless and underfloor heating for added comfort. This is our second time to stay here and the reception staff are excellent and extremely helpful and friendly,a credit to Hillside . We can't wait for our next trip. We have no hesitation in recommending Hillside to anyone. Many thanks for an enjoyable stay , Tim and Christine

Lovely well kept campsite, with helpful staff on reception. Immaculate facilities, large hard standing pitches and a handy fob entry that meant our late return after a family gathering posed no problems!

Lovely peaceful setting, warm, welcoming staff who genuinely love what they do. The Pod was nice and warm for us when we arrived and throughout our entire stay. Very cosy and tranquil. Great for a getaway.

The site is beautiful. The facilities are excellent, absolutely spotless. The staff are warm and friendly, and extremely helpful. We will definitely be making a return visit in the warmer weather. We'll probably try out one of the pods next time.

I wanted to get away to somewhere peaceful for a couple of nights, so I booked myself into a deluxe mega pod. The pod was spotlessly clean, comfortable and had everything I needed. The campsite was very peaceful, although the weather was terrible so it wasn’t very busy! It was easy to get to / well sign-posted, the welcome was warm and the staff were helpful. The location is great, with plenty of things to do nearby.

Lovely touring site with all the amenities that you would need. Check in is simple and the girl gave all the relevant information needed. Access from the A19 is easy as it’s a straight road to the entrance and loads of passing places. There are a range of hard standing and grass pitches with EHU and all have plenty of space between them so you don’t feel on top of each other. The toilet block is modern and clean, with the usual laundry room and pot washing room. Toilets and showers have underfloor heating. We visited mid week and the site was nice and quiet. The whole site is well maintained, there is a play park and football field for kids, reception area also sells the essentials and there is a coffee lounge with free Wi-Fi. Site wide Wi-Fi is available for a £1 per day per device which is good value, although can be a little flaky at times. Site staff are very helpful, especially Mark who I think runs the site who helped me sort out an electrical issue with my van. Good location to explore the local area, I can recommend Thirsk market town it’s self, nice when the weather is on your side. The world of James Herriot is definitely worth a visit, the garden centre just outside of Thirsk is also good and has a large restaurant. Further afield Nunnington hall and Gardens is a good day out along with a visit to Helmsley. All in all a lovely site, great relaxing location and we will definitely be going back.…

This has quickly become one of my favourite caravan parks. All you can hear is the chirping of the birds and the baaing of the sheep. Arrival was simple and informative, with your gate fob given at check-in. There is a small shop with essentials, and a cafe too. As for the site, it is very well maintained, lovely grass and hardstanding pitches available. We have a 5th Wheel so it's a big rig to park, and some sites can't house it, but the extras large super pitches gave us more than enough room... we were delighted! Lovely places to walk the dog, clean washing and toilet facilities. I didn't want to leave!

We stayed in a ‘mega pod’ for 2 nights for 2 people. The pod was clean and site picturesque and quiet. The day prior to arriving I checked what we needed to bring as I was aware bedding including pillows weren’t provided unless we paid a fee. I was shocked to discover upon checking that this was also the case for cutlery. Don’t get my wrong, I wasn’t expecting the Ritz however after paying £100 a night to stay in a pod without breakfast I certainly wasn’t expecting to pay for cutlery hire also! Although a lovely stay we both agreed it wasn’t value for money and would look for alternative accommodation else where in the future.

Beautiful setting, the park is immaculate from the out door areas being mowed and the washrooms etc spotless. Don’t rely on the local pub for drinks or dinner as it was closed on the one night and not doing food on the other even though the board outside said it was and so did the website.
