Scenic spacious site on the edge of the North York 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 stonebuilt and heated toilet and shower blocks – previous winners of the local Loo of the Year accolade – as well as two disabled/family bathrooms. An on-site licensed shop sells caravan accessories, toys, games, groceries and essentials like bread and milk (it sells daily newspapers and homemade cakes too; a golden opportunity for afternoon relaxing 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 gold-standard too: moorland, forest and farm stretching all around and into the Yorkshire moors.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: 2 outdoor playgrounds for different age groups of kids and a football field, all facilities are keeping in good condition. i loved the location of the site. it take 5 minutes drive to locate village and pub, or 6 minutes to indoor sport centre for swimming and badminton. several routes for hiking with wonderful view.

Disliked: the indoor playground seems still under developed and few facilities inside.

Liked: Lovely location and countryside.

Disliked: Water logged pitch and they didn't think to call us to let us know before we drove all the way to the site which would of been the sensiblething to do. We didn't stay wasted journey and couldn't have our deposit back.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: We stayed here for 3 nights booked for 4 but due to the weather changing we only stayed 3. Great location site is lovely plenty of space between pitches, staff are very friendly. Kids play areas are lovely and spacious. 1 play area I would say suitable for under 7 and the other for older kids with a huge space for ball games. Toilets and washing up area facilities were very clean at all times. Family bathroom with bath you do need to pay £1 for bath hot water. Shop is very good and has everything you need. Also an indoor play area is great for the rainy days. We had a fish and chip van turning up on the Saturday, was okay but in my option not worth the price for the food and it’s was abit bland. Plenty of walks for the dogs too.

Disliked: Our pitch was a grassed pitch but very difficult for the pegs to go down as we hit a few rocks on the way.

Local attractions

Golden Square Touring and Camping Park is above Ampleforth village which has two village pubs serving meals and snacks (and ales); 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. Endless other outdoor opportunities in the 554 square miles of the North York Moors National Park include pony trekking across the moors, rock climbing, and off-road driving… a 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 10 miles away, and Malton and Thirsk within 12 miles.
