  • Family-run site on the edge of a peaceful Holderness village
  • A 10-minute drive from Withernsea; Spurn Head 15 minutes
  • Just over half a mile from the coast and spectacular clifftop scenery
Heading to Holderness for a camping holiday? A bright idea indeed, as this peaceful part of the East Riding coast has spectacular scenery and is dotted with an array of pretty villages. Right in the middle of it all is Elm Tree Farm, a relaxed site in the quiet village of Holmpton. Location isn't everything, though, and Elm Tree Farm has a fair few other perks worth noting. For starters, the fact that the site is family-run (and by a dog-friendly family at that) means that you can expect a laidback, uncommercial approach to camping here. The facilities are in good shape too – a well-equipped washroom is on hand with a hot shower, toilet and washing-up facilities, plus little extras like a fridge and microwave that guests are free to use. It's kitted out technologically too, with USB ports for easy phone charging and free wifi across the whole site. Hot breakfast sandwiches can be ordered the night before for a tasty boost come morning, and on-site chickens mean fresh eggs are often available. Elm Tree Farm holds a full license and can introduce you to a wide range of local craft beers and ciders either on your pitch or in the site's gorgeous garden. Withernsea (10 minutes) is down the road for supermarkets and takeaways, while the popular village of Patrington (10 minutes) has award-winning fish and chips and cafés.

Liked Absolutely amazing little site. Very peaceful. The new little shower and toilet block is superb. Dog and child friendly, Gina & Nick are great, they even sell craft beers and breakfast sandwiches on site. There’s a washing up area and little kitchen too. We love staying here. Thanks for having us, we will be back!!! 🙂

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The farm reminded me of he farm in The Darling Buds of May. This small secluded site was perfect for me, my dog and even my cat! Loved everything about it. Old world charm, all the facilities you need and great hosts. I felt very welcome and if I remain fit enough would love to return again sonetime.

Local attractions

Pitching up here means being within striking distance of the sea pretty much throughout your stay, whether you're wandering down to the nearest cliffs (half a mile) or heading to further off spots like the windswept shores of Spurn National Nature Reserve and its discovery centre (15 minutes' drive) or the classic seaside resort of Bridlington (an hour). Also by the coast, Withernsea (10 minutes) has a range points of interest that ought to keep you amused for a good few hours, with an intriguing inland lighthouse that stands in the centre of the town and well-maintained amenities at the Pavilion Leisure Centre, where you can take a dip at the pool or work up a sweat at the gym. Further afield, Hull's Museums Quarter (40 minutes) will be of interest to anyone interested in archeology or William Wilberforce and the abolition of slavery. While in town, the kids won't want to miss the sea creatures housed at The Deep aquarium; if they've still got energy to burn after that you can always take them ice skating at the Hull Arena.
