Upgrades to Castleton Club Site are on-track to be completed ready for members ahead of schedule, with the site welcoming members from 21 July 2017.

The Club has been busy constructing a brand-new toilet block, 12 new serviced pitches and adding a new motorhome waste point on site.

There is still availability for the summer holidays, and the site also has mid week discount available for selected dates, so to make your booking please visit: Castleton Club Site

    Well purely because we were coming from a site within close proximity, we arrived today at Castleton and were the first arrivals of the newly refurbished site! 12:10 and incredibly no others had arrived! We half expected a queue wink
    it looks fabulous. The warmest of greetings from the warden and asst warden and then off to find a spot. Any white peg we fancied as they were all free. How often is that heard at Castleton!

    The toilet block looks really good -showers nice and modernised and the grass strips that have been put down between pitches blend really well. Motorhome service point has been moved to stop the sometimes blockage of vans outside the toilet block and there are lots more non awning blue peg pitches to ensure the safety distance between vans can be met.

    And of course, the 12 serviced pitches are now in situ.

    Fabulous to back today on our favourite site and wish them all the best for the remaining season and beyond.

    Out of interest, where has the MH service point been relocated to?

    Have seen queues there a few times, so it must have been nice to be the very first with no pitches taken yet!  It all sounds good, looking forward to paying Castleton a visit later in the year.

    Hi. Easier to show probably but the angle isn't great. As you come through the entrance barrier and turn right on the bend, it's now there. Loads more space and well planned out.

    you can just see the start of the service point with the barrier at the back. 

    Hope this helps

    I noticed at Seacroft they had built the new motorhome service point on its own out of the way of other facilities. The new ones are superb just a shame they don't accelerate the conversions of other sites. It seems only to be done when other major work is in progress, not as a stand alone improvement?

    agree that if that is the design that MHers want then they should be spread across the network and asap. I suppose though that it may be cheaper to have them done with other work? Sort of buy one get one free sort of thing?

    I agree that it would be a bit pointless if there was going to be major improvements carried out on site the following year, or perhaps two. But strangely, in the case of Seacroft, they built the lovely new waste point but did not convert the existing point near the entrance so you end up with the same site having the two extremes and unless you divert through the new section at Seacroft you could miss it altogether.

    Thanks very much for that, I know where you mean.  Much better having it near the entrance rather than on the way to the exit.
