  • 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 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.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Fabulous park.
- Pitches are a great size and the whole park is well maintained.
- The toilets and showers were immaculate no matter what time of day I went. Shower cubicles are a great size with a bench and lots of hooks. They were hot which I loved, my husband not so much haha.
- Childrens play area is a lovely size, suitable for all ages.
- Theres a massive field with goal posts for playing ball games, you can see the sunset here too.
- Small onsite shop with all the essentials and a cafe that serves breakfast and opens a couple nights per week to do pizza or fish & chips.
- Perfect location for exploring

Disliked Not a dislike and didn't bother us but may be useful for others -
- the park is near a farm, expect the smell if the wind is blowing in a certain direction
- There are loads of trees with birds, gorgeous to see but they do enjoy a morning dance on the caravan haha

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Beautiful site, clean and tidy. Nice and peaceful,shop on site.

Disliked We took a rubber hammer to pitch our awning, however it was physically impossible to knock the pegs into the ground. We had to use their maintenance man's lump hammer to knock the pegs in and nearly all of our pegs were bent due to the ground being too hard and they were the heavy duty pegs. If we had arrived after the maintenance man had left for the day we would not have been able to pitch our awning and I don't know what we would have done with the chairs etc we had our motorhome. Please Vale of Pickering stop compressing the hardcore into the ground, as we have had to purchase more tent pegs. The hard ground was not to due to lack of water. The next site we went to was fine. This has pit us off stopping again, shame because it's a lovely site.

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.
