  • Well-maintained site in scenic Yorkshire countryside
  • A five-minute drive from local village; 35 to Scarborough; 45 to York
  • Within 20 minutes' drive of the North York Moors; playground on site
‘The course of true love never did run smooth, but breaks at Midsummer Caravan and Camping do’ … is what Shakespeare probably would have said if he’d ever stayed at this site five minutes’ drive from pretty Yorkshire village Thornton-le-Dale and 10 minutes from Malton. This is camping at its most peaceful. Not only is the site in scenic countryside, but it is also has a children's playground and lots of open green space. Low noise rules apply between 10.30pm and 8am to make sure that staying here is a pleasant experience for all. Dog parents can certainly bring their furry kid along for the trip (although no more than one dog is allowed per pitch), and there’s a large field alongside the River Syme for walkies if cabin fever sets in. If riverside strolls don’t quite cut it, the site’s well placed for longer jaunts: there are a handful of signposted circular walks of varying lengths around Thornton-le-Dale, and North York Moors National Park is less than 20 minutes away for lengthier and more challenging hikes, as well as cycle trails, horse riding and gliding.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Upon arrival we were greeted by a lovely lady who told us where everything was and showed us which pitch was ours. The park is in the middle of the pitches which is excellent for the kids and adults can see them at all times. The toilets and showers were spotless. The Caravan park was also spotless. The long blonde haired lady never stopped bless her. It is situated between Malton and Thornton le Dale. Easy to get to. Overall fantastic site and we can't wait to come back next year.

Disliked: Drainage... There wasn't anywhere to empty dirty water so everyone's water was just going out on the floor and because we were on the end it all drained down to our pitch so ours was constantly puddled with everyone's water and everyone else's was dry. The night time curfew needs to be looked at. 10.30pm is too late to have kids screaming at the park. Especially if you have little ones trying to sleep. Would have been good if there was wifi available at an extra charge but not a big deal.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: We have just got back from a 2 night stay at Midsummer campsite and we had such a great time. The campsite is a lovely size giving enough room between tents and vehicles, gated round the field which is useful to keep the littles in one space! The facilities are great, toilets/showers always clean and stocked, pot washing room was fab and the playpark for the kids was a huge huge bonus! Very child and Dog friendly site, it was lovely to see so many dogs enjoying their stay - my little girl loved watching them all. And the little black friendly cat that often wandered by our tent :) We will definitely definitely return here and can’t fault anything! Thank you so much for having us.

Disliked: Nothing :)

Local attractions

What’s a holiday without sea, sand and (hopefully) sun? Luckily, no one has to find out here: the site’s 35 minutes’ drive from sandy stretches at the seaside resort towns of Scarborough and Whitby, so be sure to pack bucket, spade and (for the brave) a swimming cossie for when beach days beckon. There’s more to both than splashing about too. History buffs may be drawn to Whitby, where Bram Stoker was inspired to create some of Dracula’s integral scenes and where the stunning Whitby Abbey sits, waiting to be explored. Down the coast, Scarborough has a castle, museums, golf courses and gardens, as well as the Scarborough Fair Collection of showman’s engines. For more vintage vibes, time stays to coincide with the monthly Mattewsons Classic Car Auction (check dates before travelling), then spend the rest of your break touring stately homes: Scampston Hall and Gardens is 15 minutes away, Burton Agnes Hall and Sewerby Hall and Gardens are both within 50 minutes, and the stunningly cinematic Castle Howard is just 20 minutes from the site. As there are no kids to take care of, you can feel free to spend a few hours touring the Great Yorkshire Brewery (20 minutes' drive) and the Spirit of Yorkshire single-malt whisky distillery (40 minutes) – and picking up a tipple for later – before heading into York (45 minutes) for a night on the town.
