  • Rural North Yorkshire site over five acres, with great views
  • A 10-minute drive from Northallerton and North York Moors
  • Communal campfire area and fire baskets on site; pub half a mile away
A bit of quiet countryside chilling out or all sorts of North Yorkshire adventures – Sentry Circle Camping, three miles from Northallerton, is a fine spot for either (or a bit of both…) This rural site has the quite the history behind it – its name comes from the ancient stone circle in one of its fields, and its local village, Brompton, is the agreed location of the Battle of the Standard in 1138 (and also where local militia gathered ahead of the 1303 campaign to retake Scotland). These days it’s a much quieter place, where you shouldn’t find any swords getting in the way of your trip along a footpath to get to its shop and pub half a mile away. If you’ve come here in search of outdoor activities, you should find plenty of those in the North York Moors (10 minutes’ drive) and Yorkshire Dales (25 minutes) national parks – or perhaps on the Coast to Coast Walk, which passes a little under two miles away. Golf, horse riding and fishing are all easily accessed nearby too for a change of rural activity. Back at base, pitches are spread out over five acres of open fields, with plenty of space to run about and play games. Keeping warm later in the day requires a campfire, of course – and you can sort this by either settling down at the communal campfire pit or borrowing individual fire baskets to build your own blaze. Kiln dried logs are available to purchase on site. There is no wifi on site, meaning that guests can leave their emails behind and focus on kicking back and admiring the view.

What customers say

This is a relaxed, back-to-basics campsite with plenty of space and beautiful views. Guests frequently praise the friendly and helpful owner, Derek, and the laid-back atmosphere. The stone circle on the hill is a popular feature. Facilities are generally adequate, though some note they are basic and the site is on a slope, recommending levelling blocks. Road noise is occasionally mentioned.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Great choice of stay, plenty of room to go where you like, very relaxed.
Friendly and helpful staff.
Field is a bit sloped but nothing that a pair of levelling ramps didn't sort out.

Fire burners and firewood was avaliable at no cost which is a nice touch.

Will definitely stay again as they aren't greedy like a lot of sites are getting these days and so is good value for money.

Disliked The 2 Portaloos were a bit nasty, but the toilet/shower block further up the field was clean and tidy.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Pleased you enjoyed our stay with us! The portaloos were a temporary addition during some busy weekends in the summer which were serviced regularly.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked A spacious site with a wide variety of tents, roof tents, campers, and motorhomes.
Facilities were good, including a small shop with friendly staff, a mobile cafe in the evening and morning, and a (very) late check-out time.
As well as families and groups, there were a few very seasoned motorhomers who were friendly, knowledgeable, and approachable. We enjoyed chatting with some fascinating people during our short stay.
The stone circle at the top of the hill, while relatively new, is beautiful, thoughtfully designed, and creates a wonderful atmosphere. Many of the campers on site made the short walk up the hill to enjoy the views at sunset together.

Disliked The “pitch where you like” policy could be a positive or a negative. The site was quite busy when we arrived, and as a larger motorhome it wasn’t immediately obvious how to manoeuvre round to a suitable spot. Flexibility is much nicer than rigid marked out plots, but relies on everyone using common sense.
Others have mentioned that the site is on a hill. Not a problem or a dislike, just needs a bit of planning. Great views from the top of the site.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Loving the motor home, thanks for sharing your photos, glad you enjoyed your stay with us!

A lovely experience, I'm sure we will return again

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Lovely atmosphere friendly staff and a beautiful location. Loved going up the hill to the stone circle and some wonderful views from the top.

Disliked Facilities were clean and in good working order. Would have been good to have more showers.

Would be great if cut up wood and firelighters were available to purchase.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We're pleased you enjoyed your stay with us! We sell logs and fire lighters so please do ask next time you visit.:0)

Pleasant stay. Perfect place to see the eclipse at the stone circle.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Friendly easy going owner.
Able to pitch where you wanted and chucks lent if you don't have your own. Hilly so needed. Loved no checking out time as long as you were gone by dusk.

Disliked Ladies toilet and shower at night a bit tricky. Automatic lights come on when you open the main door but go off by the time your in a cubicle which is then pitch black. Recommend a torch or maybe the sensors can be altered.

From the manager: Hi there really glad you enjoyed your stay with us! Our electrician is looking at the new light system in the ladies.

Local attractions

Aiming for lots of outdoor activities? Osmotherley (10 minutes’ drive) is a good place to head for – it’s the starting point for lots of trails in the North York Moors National Park, including the Lyke Wake Walk. For other options, there’s a golf course 10 minutes’ drive away, or a bit of angling at Stonebridge Fishing Lakes (20 minutes’ drive) or you can ride out of a horse trekking centre (25 minutes). For more leisurely days, potter around the indie shops in Northallerton (10 minutes), explore the National Trust site at Mount Grace Priory (10 minutes) or head to the stately home Kilpin Hall (20 minutes). The Forbidden Corner (45 minutes) is another fabulous place to visit – the four-acre garden is full of unusual bits and pieces including statues, follies, a huge pyramid and a ‘path to nowhere’. All of this will probably keep you busy for quite some time, but if you need more ideas, it’s worth noting that it’s only a 25-minute drive to the Yorkshire Dales National Park…
