  • Well-maintained site on the outskirts of Hornsea, in East Yorkshire
  • Burton Agnes Hall 20 minutes’ drive; The Deep aquarium 40 minutes
  • Shower and toilet facilities; dogs welcome; barbecues allowed
The beaches of East Yorkshire and the long-distance Trans Pennine Trail are at your fingertips at Northorpe, a family- and dog-friendly site on the B1242 road, less than one mile from the coastal town of Hornsea. After parking right next to your pitch on a well-maintained tree-lined field, you can head to the seaside, which is a half-hour walk away if you want to swing into town to buy sunscreen and buckets and spades; shorter (about 10 minutes), if you cut through the fields. Popular for swimming and watersports, Hornsea Beach is skirted by a long promenade with family-friendly amusements like a paddling pool, the Jump Around Inflata-park and arcades. There’s also a lawn where you can stop for fish and chips. Those who are travelling without children might want to challenge themselves to hike (or cycle) along the Trans Pennine Trail (look for the marker on the promenade). You don’t have to go all the way to Southport, but with the right shoes (and the right attitude), you might make it to Hull in about four hours (one hour by bike); you can catch a train to return to the coast. Back at the site, you can shower and get ready for dinner. How does a barbecue sound? If you don’t fancy making your own meals, there are plenty of eateries and pubs serving food in Hornsea. The site also has a toilet block and a washing-up area.

What customers say

This campsite offers a convenient location for exploring Hornsea and the surrounding areas, with many guests highlighting the friendly and helpful owners. The site provides spacious pitches and clean, basic facilities, though some reviews mention they are dated and could be improved. Improvements are underway with a new toilet and shower block being built. Noise from ongoing site work was an issue for some, while others found the site peaceful. While some noted a lack of on-site entertainment for children, many appreciated the space for pets and children to play.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked The vicinity was good, within walking distance to Hornsea. The owner was pleasant and answered any questions regarding the campsite and surrounding area.

Disliked Toilets and showers . There are only 2 old showers and 4 toilets in total. All are worse for wear and one ladies toilets had a dodgy lock, which made it difficult to get out of.

Liked Friendly staff on check in, we were running late but I rang in advance and it wasn’t an issue. Great location, 30 minutes easy walk into Hornsea. Nice site for adults. Friendly seasonal caravaners on site.
Will definitely be better when the new shower/toilet block is complete as it’s needed.

Liked Great little site. Quiet and good value for money. Level pitch and Not far from hornsea.
Mains electricity was a small issue as kept tripping fuse box when using a kettle, tester in caravan showed only 1.2amps so had to use a gas kettle.
New toilet/shower block being built to replace old one.
Would stay again in future.

Local attractions

If you’ve ever wanted to handle a furry tarantula or an exotic snake, Bugtopia Hornsea Zoo (five minutes’ drive) might make your dreams come true. At this centre focusing on tropical creatures, you can also feed colourful macaws, and get up close and personal with insects and lizards. A masterpiece of Tudor architecture, Burton Agnes Hall (20 minutes) houses a collection of French Impressionist paintings, plus tapestries, furniture and ceramics. On a good day, though, you might prefer to hang in the grounds, which include a walled garden with thousands of plants and several gigantic games (snakes and ladders and chess among them). One of the highlights in the city of Hull (40 minutes) is The Deep, a vast aquarium in a striking angular building on the estuary of the Humber river. Residents here range from sharks and piranhas to penguins and turtles, plus tropical snakes and poison frogs.
