General

Scenic, spacious site on the edge of the Yorkshire Moors National Park
Two playgrounds, indoor play area, bike hire and pitch and putt
Award-winning amenities, licensed shop and homemade cakes for sale

Families, couples and even the family dog, get ready to strike gold. Popular Golden Square Touring and Camping Park on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park is an absolute gem of a site – safe, scenic, spacious, well-maintained and with enough to do to keep guests of all sizes busy for days.

Once the kids are persuaded to leave the two outdoor playgrounds, indoor play area, pitch and putt and football field, countryside walks and trails start direct from the park; seaside frolics at Scarborough and surrounds are an hour away, and a sports centre with indoor pool is five minutes’ drive down the road. Those who prefer to take to two wheels can hire bikes on site and ask the Golden Square owners for info on the best cycling and mountain bike trails in the area; there be loads.

Away from the hum of activities, Golden Square has glittering little touches all over: two luxury stone-built and heated toilet and shower blocks – winner of the local Loo of the Year accolade; two disabled/family bathrooms, and an on-site licensed shop selling caravan accessories, toys, games, groceries and essentials like bread and milk (it sells daily newspapers and homemade cakes too; a golden opp for stretching out in the sun, perhaps…).

Pitches are warm, sheltered and kept secluded by specially planted trees, hedges and shrubs; the park has also been designed on three levels so that even in the height of the summer season it doesn’t feel crowded.

And as it’s North Yorkshire, the views at Golden Square are solid gold too: moorland, forest and farm stretching all around and into the heart of the North Yorkshire Moors.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Liked:	The facilities were very clean and always provided for, also the park areas were brilliant for children my daughter loved it. It was nice on an evening due to no music being allowed to play so we were able to sleep after 10pm.
Disliked:	The old.lady that worked in the shop came across very rude, it was asif every person coming in was just a pound sign. Also the barrier which is suppose to be registered with registration plates so it opens as you approach didnt work so we had to press the bell on the other side only for the rude woman to answer. You also had to pay for wifi.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Recommend to friends Visit again

Liked:	Everything. Level tent pitches with water near by. Large site with play area for the kids. Nice and quiet
Disliked:	Not a dislike but no fires allowed. We use quick lighting blocks in a very small container but even this was not allowed. Also why do caravans site near to toilet blocks when they already have a toilet? Was quite a walk for us from tents to block.

After approximately 3 miles, turn left signposted 'Caravan route Helmsley' and at Coxwold turn left for Ampleforth.

Local attractions

Golden Square Touring and Camping Park is above Ampleforth village which has two village pubs serving meals and snacks (and ale); several more pubs as well as restaurants and cafés are available in the market town of Helmsley a few miles away.

The 110-mile Cleveland Way starts in Helmsley, looping around the North York Moors National Park and ending at Filey via the North Yorkshire and Cleveland Heritage Coast to end at Filey.

Both Ampleforth and Helmsley have public swimming pools – Ampleforth’s indoor at the college sports centre, and Helmsley’s outdoor and open in the summer months. The sports centre also has indoor and outdoor tennis, squash and badminton, with more of the same at several other leisure centres within driving distance.

Outdoors, there are endless opportunities in the 554 square miles of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park: pony trekking across the moors, rock climbing and off-road driving area mere few of the pursuits here to suit all tastes.

If you prefer a more peaceful time, professional fly fishing tuition is to hand close to Golden Square and fishing lakes are at Castle Howard, Terrington and Hovingham; for golf, five courses are within 12 miles including Gilling Castle two miles away, Kirkbymoorside within six; Easingwood ten, and Malton and Thirsk within 12 miles.

Near Ampleforth, Helmsley and around North Yorkshire you’ll also find stately homes, castles and historic houses galore; days out for the kids such as Flamingo Land and Go Ape!, and museums, shopping and first-class foodie establishments in fantastic York about an hour away. Make time for the seaside too: Filey, Bridlington and Whitby are all within easy driving distance of Scarborough and all worth a day trip (each).

Those looking for a bird’s eye view over the moors can pick up a hang-gliding or paragliding lesson from stunning Sutton Bank near Thirsk – don’t get dizzy if it’s your first time; the instructor will be up there with you too.
