  • 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, friendly, and well-maintained site with spacious pitches and helpful staff. The on-site bar is a popular feature. While many visitors enjoy the convenient location for exploring the coast and inland, some highlight a lack of facilities, particularly a shortage of toilets and showers which are not always lockable. The site appears to be transitioning to a static caravan park, which may impact touring guests.

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked The staff were friendly nice bar on site , Barman was very nice. Shower and toilet was clean .Easy access for Fiely 13 miles.

Disliked This is a new development mainly for static caravans, and using the e.pty spaces for touring, if it is going to cater for campers and toures,it needs to install pot washing facilities and may be another toilet and shower , shoer needs some hooks, and a mop to clean floor after use .

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.
