Greystone Cottage Farm

View prices & book Last booked one day ago 9.7 114 reviews

Family-run campsite between Northallerton and Thirsk, North Yorkshire
North York Moors 20 minutes’ drive; Lightwater Valley 25 minutes
Well-maintained camping on a small farm; shops 10 minutes’ drive

Torn between the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors? Book a pitch at Greystone Cottage Farm in the village of Maunby, and there’s no need to make any difficult decisions. You have easy access to both national parks from the site’s handy location between the market towns of Northallerton and Thirsk, and fantastic views across the Vale of York to Sutton Bank are an added bonus. This is a small campsite with grass pitches on a working farm, and when you’re exploring you’re likely to meet free-range chickens, curious goats and horses – especially Biscuit the (mini) pony, likely to become a firm favourite with kids. While dogs are more than welcome, please respect the livestock and keep them under control at all times. Pick up everything you need in Thirsk (10 minutes’ drive) supermarkets if you’re going to spark up the barbecue (bring your own please). Otherwise head for the local village pub, which does a good line in traditional eat-in or takeaway dishes plus a range of local cask ales, ciders and lagers. One last thing: this is nearly wild camping with no fuss or frills; there is a communal fridge-freezer and a loo block but no hot water. Please also bring torches for finding your way around after dark.

From the manager: Hi Thomas,

Many apologies for missing you on your stay, I do have a walk round and chat with people however I think on the few times I nipped round your vehicle was out so I sadly missed you to chat to.
Unfortunately as much as I dedicate myself to my campsite and making sure everyone is ok, I do have a family and a farm to care for as well, this is why on my welcome message I state at any time if you need anything or have any questions to not hesitate to contact myself.
Again I can only offer my apologies and hopefully see you again soon.

Thank you
Sam

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Super friendly and helpful owner, nice animals to be around, very clean facilities. Saw plenty of wildlife too, and no light pollution.

Disliked: Perhaps a little expensive for what you get, however they clearly advertise that it is not a hot water site, so wouldn't mark them down for it!

Local attractions

Kids with you? Keep them happily entertained with raptor displays at Thirsk Birds of Prey Centre (five minutes’ drive), or watching the antics of the meerkats at Thorp Perrow - Arboretum and Bird of Prey & Mammal Centre. The family can easily spend the day at Lightwater Valley Family Adventure Park (both 25 minutes), with its gentle rides for younger guests and hair-raising rollercoasters for those of a braver disposition. The North York Moors National Park (20 minutes) has several major attractions close by, including Sutton Bank White Horse, first carved into the steep hillside in 1857 and looking over the Vale of York. The ornately arched remains of Rievaulx Abbey (both half an hour) have a spectacular valley setting, and equally gorgeous Castle Howard (45 minutes) is open for tours of lavish apartments and parkland packed with follies and fountains. Drop by The World of James Herriot to see where the universe’s best-loved vet once lived in Thirsk (10 minutes), and then carry on into the Yorkshire Dales National Park (40 minutes) to see where the TV series in which he stars, ‘All Creature Great and Small’ is filmed in Grassington (an hour).
