  • Dog-friendly North Yorkshire site a 15-minute drive to Malton
  • Filey 20 minutes; RSPB Bempton Cliffs 35 minutes; York 40 minutes
  • Children’s playground; well-stocked bar with outdoor seating
There’s nothing snooty about The Snooty Fox, a welcoming and dog-friendly site with fully serviced touring pitches surrounded by the spectacular North Yorkshire countryside. The site sits just off the A64, a five-minute drive to the village of Sherburn and a 15-minute drive to the market town of Malton. Each gravelled pitch comes with its own well-maintained lawn, so you can relax with your feet on the grass while taking in far-reaching views of the hills and mapping out excursions in the local area. Maybe you prefer to do your planning in front of a pint of ale or a G&T – no problem, since The Snooty Fox has a well-stocked bar with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Meanwhile, chances are that the kids are already making new friends in the games room and the playground, with swings and a climbing structure with cargo nets and slides. What about games for the grown-ups? Well, there’s a couple of golf courses within a 10-minute drive and fishing at Don’s Pond (five minutes’ drive), or you can hit the wooded slopes of North Riding Forest Park (aka Dalby Forest; 25 minutes) for hiking and cycling trails. Family days at the seaside are within easy access, too: the beach at Filey (20 minutes) is a top spot for flying kites and building sandcastles, or you can head to Reighton Beach (25 minutes) to look for fossils in the cliffs. Birdwatchers have the choice of Filey Brigg (25 minutes) or RSPB Bempton Cliffs (35 minutes), part of the Flamborough Headland Heritage Coast. The site also has a toilet and shower facilities.

What customers say

This is a clean and well-maintained site with friendly and helpful staff. Guests appreciate the on-site bar, spacious pitches, and proximity to local attractions. However, some reviews highlight a lack of toilet and shower facilities, with only one of each for the touring area. Issues with waste disposal and dog walking routes were also noted. While some found the site suitable for families and dogs, others felt it was geared more towards static caravans and lacked amenities for tourers.

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Location

Disliked We have just stayed at the snooty fox in our touring caravan. So my review will be based on the touring side. The area of the snooty fox has breathtaking views of the local countryside hills. Unfortunately I have to be honest, I don't think this site is currently suitable for touring caravans, the pitches are tightly squeezed together and we feel like sardines, the neighbouring people next to us constantly parked their car right outside our awning door as she didn't have anywhere else to park it without it obstructing the road. We were so close together with other campers that we had children tripping over our awning guide ropes. We even had random children constantly come into our awning to see our dogs so had to keep the doors shut. Considering they advertise on pitch up for tourers, there are no washing up facilities and no chemical waste disposal, there is just one single womens toilet and one male toilet for the whole site. And only two large waste bins which are absolutely overflowing. The site is covered in stone/hardcore which although is a good idea it's quite noisy with the amount of cars that drive on an off the site till quite late at night and my little dog has very sensitive paws and wouldn't walk on it so I had to carry him off site just to walk him. On arrival you're given a sheet of paper with some rules, one rule is that if you have a dog, you must take the shortest route off site to walk them, for me, this was out the entrance and straight onto an incredibly busy road that isn't lit up at night, so as a young women walking her dog alone, wasn't very nice and quite scary. There isn't actually anywhere that I've seen is safe to walk your dog. With a rule like that does not scream dog friendly, that's telling me, get off the site to walk your dog haha. The children's playground is secure and my little boy had a lot of fun there but the wall climbing part needs repairing as some ropes where snapped and rocks where also missing from the wall. Can't fault the staff though, they are very friendly and helpful. This site has a lot of potential, hopefully as the site grows, they may add better facilities for people touring.

From the manager: We’re sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy your stay at The Snooty Fox.

The pitch type you booked was a fully serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch, and this is the pitch that was allocated to you.

As shown on the map, the site is located just off the A64. We are surrounded by a number of fantastic attractions and places to visit, all within a short drive. The Wolds Way walk is also accessible directly across the road from the site.

We feel that our facilities and amenities are appropriate for the number of caravans we accommodate on the park, allowing us to maintain a comfortable environment for our guests.

We’re sorry that the site did not meet your expectations, and we hope you find a campsite that is more suited to your needs and those of your children in the future. We would always recommend researching the site, its location and the surrounding area before booking to ensure it is the right fit for your requirements.

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Big pitches
Friendly and helpful staff
The bar was a nice option and my daughter enjoyed playing pool
No issues with using extra water in paddling pools as it was extremely hot!
Well looked after and clean facilities

Disliked Not a dislike at all but a little shop or maybe some basics in the bar because there aren't any shops close by and I always forget something.

This is the only site not to offer a pot wash area (unless I just didn't find it?) and this is always useful I think.

Local attractions

In addition to fragrant lavender fields and vast swathes of wildflowers, Woldies Lavender & Nature Farm (five minutes’ drive) has interactive games and guided nature trails for children, plus dog-friendly woodland walks. With pretty trails along the River Derwent, the town of Malton has become known as Yorkshire’s Food Capital thanks to its many independent restaurants, artisanal producers making all sorts of goodies (from bread to gelato), monthly markets and the Malton Food Lovers Festival, which takes place twice a year. After checking out the splendid stained-glass windows of the medieval Minster, take a stroll through the historic streets of York (40 minutes), checking out the cobbled Shambles for souvenirs. You can learn about the city’s past at the JORVIK Viking Centre or at the kid-oriented DIG: An Archaeological Adventure.
