  • Quiet, family-friendly site 10 minutes’ drive from Withernsea
  • Within walking distance of two wildlife-packed nature reserves
  • Aquarium and small zoo a 40-minute drive away in Hull
Calling all walkers and wildlife spotters… fancy pitching up within strolling distance of not one, but two nature reserves? That’s the deal at Garth Farm Caravan and Camping in Hollym, less than 10 minutes’ drive from Withernsea’s coast and 40 minutes from Hull. It's all trees and open fields in the surrounds of this family-run East Yorkshire site, and the pleasing rural views continue at Toffling Hill Reserve (a few minutes’ walk), a place of grassy areas, boundary trees and a shallow pond to explore. Continue your amble for a further 15 minutes to hit the woodland, meadow and open water of Hollym Carrs Reserve, where you should certainly keep an eye out for a variety of birds, mammals and insects while you wander. Supplies can be picked up in nearby Withernsea, which has a couple of supermarkets, or Patrington (a five-minute drive), where it's highly recommended that you head to the local butcher to pick up bits for a barbecue back at base. For those with a no-cooking-on-holiday rule, there’s a local pub serving food and drink, and a coffee shop dishing up homemade cakes and sandwiches at Crossroads Garden Centre; both are around 10 minutes’ walk away. Facilities here are kept on the low-key side to ensure minimal impact on the surrounds, but the basics are covered in the toilet block on site.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Quiet site with great facilities. Toilets, showers and communal washing up area were clean. Showers were hot with good pressure.

Each pitch has its own electric hookup which was brilliant as I was able to keep my portable fridge freezer running without using the car battery.

Lovely pub just a 5/10 minute walk away which serves food.

I was using a roof tent so was allocated a hardstanding pitch which was very good as it was level but I was still able to use the grass to the side.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Loved our stay at Garth Farm, a nice little site tucked away in peaceful surroundings. The site owners are so welcoming and facilities are very clean even though there are only three toilets for the whole campsite we never felt it was an issue. Loved the family shower and toilet which really helps when you have young children. The kids could play and run free safe in the knowledge that all the site was safely gated. The sale of fresh eggs from the farm at such a small cost made our breakfasts so tasty. There is an excellent pub a five minute walk away that had live music on. We will definitely be back!

Disliked: Nothing. The owners did mention that in the future they would like to put in some sort of play park for the kids. Usually we only book at sites with a play park to keep the kids entertained so this for us would make the site even better. Keep up the good work!!

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Was met after I got my caravan set up by Hannah. She answered all my questions. Pitches completely level and a little slope. Pitches big enough for caravan car and awning. Own water tap per pitch. Easy to find. 1 toilet and shower each for male and female. Normal farm noises. But no road noise. Great phone signal. Clean facilities

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Each pitch has individual water points and electric also close to pitches. Was able to level the van with small ramps so not too bad, good sized area, well kept. Was welcomed by the owner while setting up also. Pub with good food 8-10 minutes walk really nice.

Disliked: Uneven grass next to the hardstanding part of our pitch, could do with some levelling.

Local attractions

Swap the rural scenes for seaside ones with a trip to Withernsea (less than 10 minutes by car). Along with arcades, shops, cafés and, of course, the beach, there’s also a lighthouse here with a museum; energetic visitors can clamber up the 144 steps to the top for pretty views. Anglers should make time for some fishing in Holmpton (less than 10 minutes), which has a couple of public fishing ponds. While you’re in the village, delve into the underground nuclear bunker at the former RAF Holmpton. Watery activities continue at Hornsea Mere, the largest freshwater lake in Yorkshire (40 minutes), with rowing, sailing, boat trips and fishing. It’s a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Protection Area for birds, so it’s a great spot for birdwatching, too. There are more sights to be had on dry land, such as the Elizabethan Burton Constable Hall & Grounds (35 minutes). Day trips to Hull city (40 minutes) come stacked with kid-friendly attractions, including The Deep aquarium (home to more than 3,500 marine creatures) and East Park, a public park with a small zoo and log flume ride.
