What customers say
South Moor Farm offers a peaceful, rural escape with stunning views, ideal for walkers and cyclists with direct access to Dalby Forest. Visitors consistently praise the warm welcome and helpfulness of the friendly owners, Bob and Christine, and their dogs. Facilities are described as basic but clean and functional, with a shower costing £1 for 5 minutes. While the remote location is a key draw, some found the narrow access roads challenging. Recent upgrades to toilet and shower facilities are ongoing, with many guests eager to return.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked The quiet isolation, yet right adjacent to Dalby Forest Drive for very easy access to the forest on Mountain Bike.
Also the toilet and shower facilities have recently underwent a renovation and hence are in good condition.
The owner obviously takes great of the field for the motorhomes and the grass is immaculate.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Quiet, peaceful site. Absolutely in the middle of nowhere. Farmyard animals nearby. The owner was friendly and helpful. Adequate free wi-fi available.
Great site for walkers and cyclists.
Disliked We had an issue with the gents toilet. The toilet was too close to the wall and I had to sit at an angle. We were also very surprised to discover that we had to pay £1 for 5 minutes shower.
We cut short our stay as the roads to the site were very narrow. Our van is 7'9"" wide and we brushed hedges both sides as we drove along.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Site is in Rural North Yorkshire many roads are narrow and some single track. Please read site description, the shower price is mentioned.
