Oaks is a beautiful, peaceful place. The caravan site was perfect in every way. It had everything you need. Very clean toilets/showers. The fishing lakes are close to the site. My partner was shocked to find that he had to still pay to fish when already paid to stay on the site, and felt this should be included in the booking. A small shop would be helpful, but not a necessity. We needed water and milk and I paid £7 for 6 small bottles of water and a pint of milk. Milk is not sold but the cafe kindly sold me a pint. There is drinking water on the site but found it to be so bad I could not even disguise it in my coffee. I was practically dehydrated until I was able to buy those tiny bottles from the cafe. We did bring lots of water but ran out. I guess it's a case of ensuring that you have everything you need on arrival. Overall.. this site and the entire area is beautiful, tranquil and a perfect little getaway if it's peace you are after. We will come back ..

Everything was perfect great fishing great cafe friendly staff easy access to the caravan pitches good facilities will be back

All good

Caravan site ok ish. Rubbish provision not very good. Only contact on site is via an intercom when you arrive. Toilets and showers clean and adequate but toilet rolls not replaced very often. Cafe not bad, new owners so adjusting opening times to suit clients (mostly for fishermen). Tackle shop ok but dear and geared for serious match fishermen.10 mph max speed signs all over. Shame no one keeps to it.....>. including ALL the staff. Clouds of dust everywhere. not good! Fishing not bad, except lots of matches especially weekends so little pleasure angling until after 4pm.The whole complex looking tired now. Caravan site needs attention to pitches, lakes need rubbish bins .....match fishermen tend to leave rubbish behind. Fishing stages need attention, most leaning towards the water and cracked. Very difficult to put rod rests in.......ground very hard or concrete and lake sites covered in a type of matting by the staging. Ok if you have a proper match type scaffolding sea

With Thirsk Crosby plenty of pubs cafes etc

Wasn't overly impressed when we drove in, but found the site to be central for lots of sightseeing. The facilities are very basic but functional. The recycling apart from glass is non existent, and as an avid recycler I brought mine home with me,vwhich isn't really ideal. I think the site is ideal for people who fish, as there are quite a few small lakes on site. It's definitely not a family site. Not being able to bring our dog was a problem. But we knew from booking that we couldn't bring him. It was a nice four nights stay because the site was so central for going places. Thirsk, Ripon, Northallerton, we're all quite close. Byland abbey is well worth a visit and it is free. Mount grace priory and gardens are nice but not worth the £11 entrance.

Excellent fishing and a fantastic little campsite. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly with a laid back atmosphere all around the site. The tackle shop and cafe are top notch, all the lakes are beautiful and offer top class fishing helped by the brilliant and very informative advice given by the staff. I’m looking forward to the next visit very much. A big thank you to everyone at the oaks lakes for a great few days.

Beautiful quiet site. Immaculate facilities. Friendly and a great base for exploring North Yorkshire. My partner loved the fishing lakes. Well stocked fishing shop and a wonderful cafe with freshly cooked food and great value. This is a great site and will definitely return Lots of good lighting for night and great pricing as well as well kept pitches and grounds
