Well-kept touring pitches on the edge of the North York Moors
Pickering, Rievaulx Abbey and Castle Howard within 20 minutes' drive
A mile from Kirkbymoorside and close to bus stops

The views are about as rural as they come at Gateway to the Moors Caravan Park… and as its name suggests, this scenic hideaway is just on the edge of the North York Moors National Park. More specifically, it’s in the tiny village of Keldholme and surrounded by mature trees, with the River Dove on one side and a working farm on the other (and open countryside all around). Yet this site is surprisingly well connected: it’s easily accessed from the A170 and a mile from Kirkbymoorside, a market town with shops, pubs, takeaways and other amenities. There’s also an excellent bus service here (for outings around the Moors, to York or to the coast) and another bus stop in the village for jaunts to local towns. The park’s hardstanding pitches are well kept, with views down the field to the river, electric hookups and water close to each pitch. The team here takes pride in its lawns – the grass is cut regularly, and although barbecues are permitted, you’re asked not to put them on the grass. You may bring your own, but free firepits are provided for each pitch and bags of wood can be purchased on site. Handily, the site's entrance and exit are covered by security cameras and free wifi is available around the entrance/exit area. There are eco-friendly touches around the place too: recycling is encouraged, and there are facilities for charging batteries and electric bikes. This part of North Yorkshire is a great area for walkers and cyclists – stroll straight out from the site through the woods to pick up local footpaths if you don’t fancy straying too far. The site is also less than five minutes' drive away from Ryedale Auctioneers, an auction house, and 15 minutes' drive away from vehicle storage buildings in Pickering.

Liked: Lovely clean site, we loved the recycling bin area. Jayne was lovely she came to introduce herself which we really liked. She also message in the morning, we knew instantly she was gping to be so lovely. We loved waking up to the view of the sheep each morning. Our girls was obsessed with them. Most of the guests was very polite and nice to speak with.

Disliked: Completely out of Jaynes control, one of the guests who had dogs. Their dogs was contained but would be up at the metal cage teeth set and snarling everytime we went to fill with water. A little concerning when you have small ones, so we ensured they never went that way. Again completely out of jaynes control. The only thing we didn't like.

Local attractions

Here, old railways, abbeys, museums and forest trails could all be part of your holiday schedule. Pickering (10 minutes’ drive) is your gateway for the North Yorkshire Moors Railway to Whitby (the location of the abbey that inspired Dracula) and Goathland (a village in the moors with a heritage station). If it’s history that gets you excited, then there are more historical sites scattered around: Rievaulx Abbey (15 minutes), a ruined Cistercian abbey, Ampleforth Abbey (20 minutes), a Benedictine abbey, or Castle Howard (20 minutes), a historical estate with playgrounds and huge grounds. For museums, there’s the Eden Camp Modern History Theme Museum (20 minutes) and The World of James Herriot (half an hour). If it’s wildlife you’re after instead, visit the National Centre for Birds of Prey (15 minutes) or Flamingo Land (15 minutes), a zoo crossed with a theme park. And for the active days, perhaps the bike trails and Go Ape park in Dalby Forest (35 minutes), watersports in Scarborough (40 minutes) or sightseeing in York (50 minutes)?
