Very friendly, relaxed, welcoming campsite.

Hillside is a well situated, friendly site, near enough to the A19 for convenience but far enough away for beauty and peacefulness. Lovely well kept site with nice, big hard standing, fully serviced pitches.We were on the super pitches up at the pond (in March) and seeing the Frogscon the move every night was a real treat.Lovely village of Knayton a mile down the road with a gorgeous pub (although we didn't go).Thirsk is just 3 miles away with a range of pubs. Cafes and restaurants, a beautiful wee town with lots to see.

We've stored our caravan here for a couple of years, the rates are very reasonable compared to other sites. There are basically three different areas, our personal favourite is the "Orchard", which is all grass. There are two other areas with hard standing pitches, better for inclement weather. The shower blocks are very clean and for even more luxury there are "family" rooms. There are great walks from the site and two pubs within two miles, the Dog and Gun and the Wheatsheaf, both worth checking out. The Dog and Gun in Knayton village serves superb meals.

All round excellent site

We have just visited Hillside Farm for the second time and we received a very warm welcome on both occasions. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. We booked an all service pitch which was extremely spacious- There’s lots of room for families to run around and the views are just fabulous.The toilet and shower facilities are spotlessly clean and the whole site is very well kept. Overall this is an excellent site which is very peaceful yet in a good location not far from the A19We will definitely be booking again!

This is such a great caravan site, the staff our very friendly, the facilities are great, it seems the majority of the piches are extra large super pitches with so much space, without a doubt the biggest pitches we have been on. Everything is well maintained and pristine. One of our favourites!!

Decent site.

Ashton, Michael - 15/02/2024

A good site at a fair price.We had a super pitch that had water, drainage and an aerial point. Nice and big for awnings etc but sadly not level, it sloped off quite badly, for the price and pitch facilities I’d have expected it to be level.The site is very clean and tidy and the facilities are in very good condition, smart and regularly cleaned.Very friendly staff and helpful.Free wifi only available at reception and coffee lounge, but you can pay to have it where your pitch is. I think for the price of the super pitch, this should be included.Overall a nice and pleasant site as tones throw away from Thirsk.
