Hobground Campsite

Liked Andy is brilliant and really looked out for us. He's straightforward and regularly available around the site.

The site is separated into sections so there's never too much noise from any one area.

Liked This campsite is very remote and quiet. It's exactly what we wanted. Away from everything. Well maintained.

Toilets were plentiful and clean.

The shower was clean and warm (£1 for 5 minutes - very reasonable. Just dont forget to bring some change).

Friendly owner.


Really enjoyed my stay here.

Liked I would rate this campsite 10/10 because the advertisement for facilities is honest so we were prepared for basic amenities, they were clean, checked regularly and positioned fairly for all users. The grounds were so well maintained and felt like a real step back into nature. The mature trees provide a fantastic canvas and you get the sense of nature all around. The site is quiet, good for families, but respect for others is at the centre of the owners principles. It matters to him that everyone leaves with happy memories, and we certainly did. Dogs can also go which was good, like all sites, they must be kept on a lead but that is to be expected.

Disliked Nothing, really enjoyed the time spent at this campsite.

Liked Its a great place to get away from the crowds, 3 fields with 16 electrical outlets. Plenty of space between tents. Campsite is sited down a private drive about 200/300 metres away from the road. Hot showers cost £1 for five minutes. The area is full of wildlife, owls flying over at night, foxes calling and surrounding farmland. Andy is a great host with good local knowledge.

Disliked Apart from the Wood pigeons starting cooing at 430am. Can be a struggle in the morning using the showers as there are only two and it does take around 20 minutes to heat the water tank up if its been used up by the last user.

Liked We were looking for a remote site without bars and restaurants and play parks.
We stayed here Wenesday to Saturday, on arrival we called Andy who showed us to a pitch in Field B, we are first time campers so set the tent up in around 30 minutes.
There was myself, wife and two dogs. Once we had set up we had a little wander around. There are toilets and showers and Andy has a freezer in his garage you can use for ice blocks. Andy came along and had a chat he is a lovely guy and will do anything to help should you need it. The toilets were clean and immaculate, take no notice of the negative views, if people cant use a toilet brush after they have been to the toilet then I wouldnt like to think what their homes are like. Andy cant clean the toliet each time somebody has been, he is a busy guy, it takes 2 minutes to clean up after yourself.
The shower costs £1 and was instantly hot, the £1 lasts 5 minutes which was by far long enough to get showered again these were clean and tidy.
I saw negative reviews about no hot water for washing pots, there are 2 big stainless steel sinks to wash pots in, take your washing up bowl into the toilets and you get hot water through the hand wash units or boil your kettle 😃
There were other tents in the field but there was plenty of space, we put windbreaks around the front of our tent so the dogs had somewhere to roam.
Use of BBQs are allowed
Kirbymoorside is a 10 minute drive and Pickering 15 minutes. We also had a drive to Helmsley.
The site on a night was quiet apart from my wife's snoring 🤣🤣 people had respect.
If you are looking for a basic site with electric hook up, clean toilets and showers in the middle of nowhere then this is the site for you, we will 100% be returning.

Disliked Nothing, the site had everything we wanted for a basic first time camping trip.
