  • Yorkshire Wolds site in the old walled gardens of Thorpe Hall
  • A 15-minute drive from Bridlington and 35 minutes from Scarborough
  • Coarse fishing pond and five-acre playing field
Set within the old kitchen garden walls of a country estate, Thorpe Hall Caravan and Camping Site is a quiet, peaceful and sheltered location to relax and unwind. The family-friendly (and dog-friendly) site is less than a mile from the small Yorkshire village of Rudston. Bring kit for a day at the coarse fishing pond or gather chums for games on the five-acre playing field (ideally cricket, in keeping with your traditional English surrounds, but anything goes really…). If you're after things to do locally, then a quick explore of Rudston (including a stop at the Rudston Monolith, the tallest standing stone in the United Kingdom) should top the list, before driving off to the coast at Bridlington,15 minutes away, for sandy beaches and sea-view strolls. And so to your digs… in the estate’s pretty walled garden, with plenty of space and shelter and access to a smart heated bathroom block that’s got disabled access and hot water available all day and all night. The small shop sells essentials such as milk and bread (and is a handy fount of local information too), and supermarkets in Bridlington are handily close by for all your barbecue bits.

What customers say

This well-maintained, quiet campsite is set within a walled garden and offers large pitches and friendly, helpful staff. Visitors consistently praise the cleanliness of the facilities, particularly the shower blocks. Dog walks are available from the site, and it's a good base for exploring the local area. While Wi-Fi and phone signal can be intermittent, most guests found this a minor issue and would happily return.

Elizabeth B.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked The large pitch was great, toilet and shower block immaculate, didn’t use shop but looked great. Really liked the fact that I’d asked if we could be near toilet block and we were. We had the water tap and grey waste point on corner of our pitch and that was very handy! Also a great way of getting talking to other campers!
The big enclosed play field where if not being used we were able to exercise dog off lead. Fishing lake available. Very close to bridlington, about 3 miles. Lovely beach and promenade. Dogs loved it and the swim.

Disliked Some of the pitches had quite a slope, fortunately for us we were on a flatter one.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Super well kept pitches of a good size, site was really well maintained, facilities were great, really clean, everything tidy. Fabulous dog field all fenced and gated. Site managers were so welcoming and made sure I was OK and I knew where everything was, really kind and helpful. Can’t wait to return in the summer.

Christina W.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Fairly quiet area, close to Bridlington, site was clean and high walls made it better for weather protection.

Disliked Make sure you have a long electric lead as some of the supplies are quite a distance from your pitch

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review and rating Christina. We're pleased you enjoyed your stay and that's a good tip to share as not all pitches have the electric directly behind them. We recommend 35ft for both the electric and TV aerial. We hope to welcome you back again in 2026 :-)

Local attractions

Can’t get enough of these grand stately homes? There are plenty more options nearby to swan around in… Burton Agnes Hall is a 10-minute drive from base, Sewerby Hall and Sledmere Estate are within 20 minutes, and Burton Constable Hall (and its Capability Brown-designed grounds) is 45 minutes away. Perhaps the most famed, though, is the exquisite Castle Howard (45 minutes) – it’s starred on TV several times, playing the role of Brideshead (in Brideshead Revisited, twice) and Kensington Palace (in Victoria). Steer away from the country piles with a trip to York, a little over an hour away, to meet vikings at the Jorvik Viking Centre, cruise along the river or take a sweet trip into the past at York’s Chocolate Story. Or perhaps head to Hull (50 minutes) for more museum action and sealife encounters with more than 3,500 fish that live at The Deep aquarium. Swap both city and country for coast with a trip to Scarborough (35 minutes) for days on one (or two, or three…) of the beaches, a splash at the waterpark or peaceful ambles in the gardens. Filey (20 minutes) has another fine beach, and a clifftop golf course with cracking coastal views.
