  • 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.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Owner

Disliked: What a dive. The whole site was on a slope, terrible for camping. No real roads except for a short gravelled section of 50m. Hence their concern about dirt in the shower block. Urinal did not have flushing facility installed. No lights in amenities block. Owner was nice but how did this place get approval. Charged the same as top notch camping spots Graeme

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Derek is awesome, very welcoming and friendly 😎 Spent a couple of nights here with friends, it's a simple and beautiful site with a wonderful stone circle. Toilet block has shower (hot water) There's drinking water and on-site shop selling the basics including eggs freshly laid from the ladies (hens!) who live on the land. Wonderful views. Northallerton is a 5 minute drive away if you need to stock up on essentials.

Disliked: There was a largish group playing music late into the night, but my earplugs took care of it, others in my party weren't so fortunate no ear plugs!)

Rosanna P. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Big field to choose a pitch with plenty of space. Washing up sink. Friendly owner. Facilities are very basic/rustic but has toilets and shower. It was fine for the one night we needed.

Disliked: The shower cubicle is a bit smelly - damp mould smell but the actual shower bit was clean- it was more the wood floor and wood walls that was a bit of damp smell I think.

From the manager: Hi Rosanna - we are working through our maintenance list and the duck boards are moat defiantly on there :0)

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…
