  • 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 is a well-kept, friendly and quiet site, praised for its location near Hornsea and the beach. Reviewers highlight spacious pitches and the helpfulness of owners. Facilities are generally clean, though some feedback suggests they are dated and could be improved, with a new block under construction. Issues with electric hook-up tripping and water pressure have been noted. Despite some minor drawbacks, many guests found it good value and would return.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

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.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Nothing

Disliked Everything...noisy on going building work with heavy machinery being moved around constantly throughout the day even though we were promised work would stop after Friday for the Bank Holiday weekend it still continued.
Dirty toilets and showers no water pressure for hot water in the showers and full of dirt and cobwebs.
Dog poo bin was insufficient and was overflowing and poor organisation of recycling facilities meant rubbish was thrown in any bin and not separated
No site safety information was given and no information was available about the surrounding area.
There were overgrown weeds nettles and thistles all around the site
Mobile signal for internet was very poor and no onsite WiFi available

Recommend to friends Visit again

Overall not a bad site just needs a few tweaks and include a dog area

Liked Nice site. 30 minutes walk into Hornsea with variety of shops etc

Disliked Not a big pitch as the weather was wet it was straight from muddy grass into motorhome (weather not their fault)
Looked like they are upgrading facilities, with that in mind only one toilet/shower available. Elsan point needs attention i.e. needs a hose on tap. No dog walk.

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.
