  • 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 stones make an interesting addition, different and nice to have a meander to. Derek was so helpful and friendly, lovely guy with interesting conversation who helped when my car got stuck!

Disliked: Come on weather, sort yourself out! Haha- completely unavoidable Mother Nature, still had a wonderful time and will definitely be returning. (Let me know when the option to order the weather becomes available hahaha!)

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Lovely friendly owner, hot water and showers available at no extra cost, and no check out time is real luxury! Nice views too and easy to find. Field must have good drainage as it wasn’t half as muddy as I would expect for March camping.

Disliked: Next to a main road, there is traffic noise. It is also a really small site, I think it would get crowded in peak times.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Fantastic owner, came out, late in the evening, in the middle of winter in his dressing-gown having just got out of the shower so that we could check in. Nothing was a bother for him, very friendly and accommodating. The owner has a huge depth of local history knowledge that was interesting to hear. The atmosphere he creates is one of welcoming and friendly to all. The stone circle was interesting to walk to in the morning. Steve

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Amazing peaceful site. Name says it all. Must see the stones. Facilities are very clean owners very friendly. There is also an opportunity to book a reading with a clarevoyant for £30 which I highly recommend booking if you are into spirituality.

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…
