  • 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.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Very clean site

Disliked Lots of biting flies etc
Very quite site not recommended if you like to listen to music or have to talk loud
Holiday ended early due to above reasons.
I personally don't hear very well thou

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Obviously, we're very disappointed with your review and rating. However, it was expected as we had to come and speak with you after receiving feedback from other guests about your loud music, bad language and arguments from 8pm to past midnight.
In our communications and information across all platforms it states that we're a quiet site. This is one of the main reasons that guests choose to stay with us.
Additionally, booking a site that states it's in the countryside will more than likely mean there'll be insects, many of which may sting or bite (which is a little beyond our control)
We'd urge anyone looking to book a site take the time to read the site description, policies, terms and conditions before accepting them at the point of booking. This will help avoid booking a site that for whatever reasons, does not meet your requirements.

Fantastic site. Well set out…

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Fantastic site. Well set out and quiet.
Kim and Neil are so helpful. I loved my extra night in the temporary field. I’d forgotten it was Bank Holiday and I didn’t want to drive as planned on the Saturday.
Will definitely visit again.

Disliked Nothing!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Friendly and clear instructions on pitching at arrival. Clean, quiet site with excellent facilities. Owls and stars at night. Maybe just our luck? Easy drive to coastal attractions, the monolith at Rudston and Burton Agnes Hall and gardens, all well worth a visit.

Barry M.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Friendly staff. Despite me parking incorrectly and then setting up then Tentbox the staff saw the funny side. The playing fields were great to use when quiet with the dogs. Clean, tidy and warm toilets and showers.

Disliked WiFi didn’t work but the site are honest and say it is intermittent. Good to not have some signal for a short while so not a huge issue but it will be for some.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review and rating Barry. In all honesty we are just getting to grips with the Tentbox ourselves as whilst we thought it was just a box on top of a car and that they all opened out the same way it turns out to be so much more :0) We hope to be able to welcome you back again in the future but until then...Happy Touring!

Niki C.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Great location, friendly staff, good dog walking facilities.
Fantastic community pub within a short walk (15/20 mins)
The Shower was very good, the site was quiet during our stay.

Disliked The bathrooms were a little tired, and the pitching instructions we found less than clear, but small issues that would not prevent us returning to this site.
Poor wifi

Tony D.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked One of the best! Located in what looked like it used to be the walled garden of a country mansion. Toilets were excellent. Small shop on site. Beautifully kept. Pitches were flat with some on a slight slope. Slightly more expensive but worth it. Freezer for freezing blocks. Popular site so book in advance. It was breezy when we visited and the walls gave good protection. This was the best site on our touring holiday.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for such high praise Tony :0) You've made our day! We're glad you enjoyed your stay with us and we hope to be able to welcome you back again in the future

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.
