  • Landscaped site 20 minutes' drive from Pickering, with rural views
  • Well-maintained heated shower/toilet block with makeup area
  • Licensed shop and launderette; caravan spares and gas for sale
The Pickering people have it sorted. The Vale of Pickering Caravan Park is crammed with trees, shrubs and flowerbeds and it has views over the North Yorkshire countryside, plus washrooms you'd want to find anywhere. The heated toilets and showers are immaculate, there are private wash cubicles, an electric point for those all-important hairdryers and hair straighteners, and even a ladies’ makeup area. Best of all, there are ladies’ and gents’ baths – providing a long hot soak after a long hard day relaxing and sightseeing. There are first-class facilities on site too, including a well-stocked licensed shop, a launderette, caravan spares and gas cylinders, a play area and a football pitch for the kids. A pub is about two and a half miles away for food, or you can pick up some fresh local produce at the nearby farmers’ market. Thornton Dale (four miles away) also has two traditional pubs so you won't be short of choice when it comes to satisfying all tastes and tums.

What customers say

This is a consistently well-maintained and exceptionally clean site with excellent facilities, including modern toilet and shower blocks. Visitors frequently praise the spacious pitches, friendly staff, and peaceful atmosphere, making it suitable for families and couples. On-site amenities like the cafe and food vans are popular additions. Minor points raised include gravel pitches being hard to peg into and occasional WiFi issues, though these are generally outweighed by the positive experiences.

Liked Lovely park. Very quiet. Great cafe for breakfast or drinks and to top it off pizza and fish and chips available on a night. The washing and toilet facilities are also very clean and there is lots of space. We will definitely be back.

Disliked The WiFi could be better as signal was very weak and we couldn’t connect but the 4g phone signal was quite good in the area so it wasn’t that much of an issue.

Liked This site is wonderful! I cannot fault it. The staff are kind and helpful. The toilets are spotlessly clean. (as are the showrs) and plenty of them.
The shop is well stocked.
The children's play area is great.
The field to the back of the site (camping) has lira of space.
We cannot wait to visit again.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Absolutely loved this place! The pitches were level making for an easy set up. The ground was really hard (but not their fault; we’ve had such a dry summer), and we got a little stuck but they had tools to help us out available. We had the pizzas - they were delicious and a must have if you go! We also had breakfast baps - quality ingredients and well worth the price.
The park is wonderful for kids. We went on the week leading up to bank holiday and the kids were all back on their own pitches before 10pm which was nice as we weren’t worried about ours getting to sleep.
The facilities were really lovely - best we’ve come across. The unisex/family bathrooms were wonderful. I also did washing - reasonably priced and easy to use.
We used the pot wash too and that was so clean, warm and well locked after.
Positioning of the place is also fab - we went to Dalby Forest a few times, Scarborough, Thornton Le Dale, Pickering … so much to do.
Overall it was such a fabulous place - we will definitely be back! Thank you.

Local attractions

Trainspotters and sightseers alike will be chuff-chuffed at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway to take visitors on a steam-rollering 18 miles through the moors, with rural villages along the route – Goathland was used as Hogsmeade in the first Harry Potter film and as Aidensfield in ITV’s Heartbeat – and with plenty of opportunities to hop off and go hiking o’er the moors. The North York Moors National Park has walking and cycling routes galore, with other sporty options near the Vale of Pickering taking in tennis, golf, horse-riding, sailing, mountain biking, fishing and watersports at Wykeham Lakes, or cantering at Snainton Riding Centre. Savvy shoppers should sally to the nearby market towns of Pickering and Malton, or head towards York to spend the day at the Monks Cross Shopping Centre two miles from the city centre. And once the wallet is somewhat lighter, other recommended and less expensive days out in the area include taking in the World War II museum at Eden Camp, seeing the historic buildings at the Ryedale Folk Museum, or going to one of the many events at the Baroque mansion Castle Howard. A visit to this neck of the woods wouldn’t be complete without a day at the seaside – visitors can stroll on the sands at fantastic Whitby, flit around Filey, browse through Bridlington or spend days at the country’s first ever seaside resort of Scarborough with its Italian gardens, miniature steam railway, casino, clifftop castle and kid-clamouring for seaside amusements. Kids will also love the nearby theme park and zoo Flamingo Land, making like a monkey on the zip wires at Go Ape! or getting grisly at the York Dungeons after the big folk take in the architecture of York Minster and the history of the Jorvik Centre.
