  • Small site in the middle of the Great Yorkshire Forest
  • Half an hour's drive from Scarborough and 40 minutes from Whitby
  • Easy access to Dalby Forest's walking and mountain biking trails
South Moor Farm is a small livestock farm in the middle of Dalby Forest, a large wooded area on the southern edge of the North York Moors National Park. This is a very relaxed and rural spot with just a handful of pitches on well-maintained grass plots with access to basic amenities including a water tap, waste recycling and a chemical waste disposal point (available for green chemicals only). There are no toilets or showers on site, so please bring your own facilities. The pitches are located in a paddock between the owners' house and a barn, within easy cycling or walking distance of many local rights of way. A couple of pubs can be reached within about a 10-minute drive, and larger towns like Scarborough are half an hour away if you fancy a night out or need to stock up on essentials or camping equipment. Dogs are allowed at this family-friendly site, but please keep them on a lead at all times around the farm.

Disliked: No wifi access

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: WiFi is available near the house or barn and some can pick it up in the field but we do not advertise the access for motorhomes because it is patchy. However if you need it we will try to provide it. We ran an internet cable out to one motorhome because they needed it for work.

Nearby forest Showers. Friendly owners Great price…
