  • 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.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked After a mix up from July with original booking we stayed here for one night. Got there late after 2 accidents stopped everywhere possible to get there & reception lady who now know is Diane was so welcoming kind & even moved the pitch nearer facilities for me due to my disability & didn’t dare ask when I booked as for one night. Told her our situation & said stay longer so your not waiting for your other pitch next day which we couldn’t get on till one. Honestly never had treatment like this before. Fantastic!!
The pitch was perfect massive for an our Pamplona twin axle & the toilet blocks,well I do wish all were like this! Amazing!! Catered for everyone. Your own separate little shower rooms disabled room all heated & then a ladies & gents with toilets & showers.
Absolute beautiful site in the countryside.

Disliked Absolutely nothing!

Liked We were unfortunately caught up in the storm whilst away this weekend, however we made the most of a bad situation and still managed to make some great family memories, and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating, completely understanding that we couldn’t get off site in time for check out so we offered to pay for an extra day and they refused and told us to do what we needed to do to stay safe until the storm passed. Absolutely appreciated during an already stressful situation. We will definitely be back with nicer weather

Disliked Well as we’ve established the weather could have been better but completely out of anyone’s control.. the showers and facilities were immaculate and brilliant options, just hate 30second showers, having to keep pushing the button, but that’s first world problems and absolutely couldn’t fault anything else

Recommend to friends Visit again

Great weekend, would go back it’s in a great location

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 zipwires 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.
