Stone circle with rural scenery behind

  • 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 The owner was very helpful on arrival, pleasant and chatty while suggesting some things going on locally to check out. Site is in a nice and quiet location to camp, very useful toilet/shower block. There is a cell mast right next door so if you’re using Vodafone the signal is great. Lots of wildlife to look at and the scenery is lovely. I’d camp here again.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Derek was very attentive, nothing was too much trouble and the site has an overall chilled relaxed vibe.

Very basic but the atmosphere far exceeds this.

Already added to regular list!

Disliked We struggled to get level haha but that was our preference on where we pitched!

And there was extra wood available to help with levelling the van!

So not a dislike! Just an observation.
Remember to take ramps!

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Beautiful scenery, love the vibe and the regulars there are super friendly.

Great places to pitch and up the hill is a beautiful view alongside the really scenic (what I believe is) ritual site.

The farm owner left out some fire pits we could use which were really good!

Toilets are the best I've used and I love how the shower is a normal shower. Other campsites have those horrible push button ones but this one's just an ordinary shower.

Staff are so nice, the rules of the campsite are very unrestrictive and it genuinely feels like you're camping. Loved it and I want to go again!! It's a shame my friend wasn't feeling too great and we had to leave late.

Disliked For tents, very difficult to get some flat spots, you'll be contesting with others to get the right spot on a busy day, but it's like that with all campsites.

The road is surprisingly quite busy from when we went. But don't let that deter you! It's such a pleasant place.

From the manager: Thanks Again!

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…
