Farm site near Boltby Forest in the North York Moors National Park
A 10-minute drive to the Cleveland Way; 20 minutes from Sutton Bank
Firepits and picnic benches; courtyard space with seats and hammock

High Paradise Farm is very much a wildlife haven… in the North York Moors National Park alongside Boltby Forest, this site attracts a load of wildlife, but it’s also a nice place for guests (and their dogs) to find a base for their adventure, build stick houses in the forest and simply revel in the outdoor spaces. The site is on the eight-mile band between Thirsk (10 minutes’ drive) and Helmsley (25 minutes), but don’t be fooled. The site is still rural. It’s a good drive away from either of the nearby towns and the roads are narrow, twisty and a little bumpy, but worth the journey. The skies are pretty special at night time and it’s quiet here too, aside from the sound of birdsong. The facilities around the site include an amenities block with toilets, a shower and a dishwashing area that may come in handy after a firepit (each pitch has its own picnic bench and firepit). There’s also a chilled-out communal courtyard space with seats and a hammock. In Boltby, 10 minutes’ drive away, you’ll be able to pick your adventure – perhaps horse trekking with the local stables or picking up the Cleveland Way, which runs around the national park. For a pub trip, Hawnby (15 minutes’ drive) has just the place. There are a few other pubs within around 15 minutes’ drive of the site or Helmsey’s eateries are a little further out for those of you who have a picker palate.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked: Lovely camping field with plenty of space. Facilities are basic but clean. The kids loved meeting the farm dogs, especially Pumpkin who became a firm favourite. The owner was super friendly and helpful, giving us ideas for biking routes. Location is fantastic for walking and biking and the local area is very picturesque. The on site cafe is also great

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked: Loved how quiet it was, the pitches are fantastic, a new solid picnic bench and big fire pit by each one. Lovely cafe and very popular, alot busier than I'd expect for the location. The on site dogs are great, pumpkin was a family favourite! Will definitely be returning at some point (although we like to try new sites alot)

Disliked: 1 road in is incredibly bumpy, took 10minutes to get along, lesson learnt and used the other road the rest of the time. Not really a complaint mind. Electric would be ideal, to keep a fridge running. But it's not essential and we knew before arriving.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked: Great plots with plenty of space, a picnic bench and fire pit. We were able to get a plot right next to our friends and had a great 3 nights. There was a compostable toilet close by and then flushable toilets a short walk away. Only one shower but you never had to wait that long for it or for the washing up area, and the water was good and hot! There's a tea room on site and sheep and horses for the kids to look at.

Disliked: Nothing really, it was a lovely site with friendly owners. My only minor dislike was it was tricky to wash little children's hands after the toilet as the washing up sinks were high up.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked: It's such a picturesque yet practical site - pitching up amongst the trees meant we were very sheltered on a particularly windy weekend. We really did appreciate the contact from the owner on our day of arrival, keeping us up to date with the damage caused by Storm Lilian - and were impressed it was all sorted and back to normal by the time we got there. The picnic table and fire pit with each pitch was particularly welcome - such a good idea and so useful and enjoyable. The location is fantastic. Remote enough to feel wild, yet close enough to Thirsk for practicalities (for us, we needed somewhere close by to charge our car). And we loved that it was such a convenient place for walking routes - and that the HPF website details a variety of them so well. And it was lovely on our last morning, after packing up, to be able to have a butty and a cuppa at the tea room. I love a good tea room and it's such a charming and friendly place, filled with other people just appreciating the outdoors. A wonderful atmosphere.

Disliked: I didn't realise from what I read in advance just how basic and open the sanitation facilities would be. It wasn't a problem for us, given that we've been to plenty far more basic campsites than this, but I suppose this is just a note of awareness to readers to expect functional but very basic facilities. (And for future note, HPF team: if you redo the toilet block at any point in the future, could you consider creating more space between the loos and the door please. At the moment the leg room between the loo and the door is like a Ryanair flight, making it rather difficult to use.)

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked: We loved the small site with the trees, and the lovely touches of the picnic tables and fire pits. It had a lovely wild feel to it. It's also totally safe to let the kids roam a bit. Really well located close to Thirsk, Sutton Bank and Helmsley

Disliked: More showers would be great, but this didn't compromise our stay at all. The info is really clear.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked: The location was amazing. Plenty of space between pitches which all had their own picnic table and fire pit. Facilities were good and clean. Liked that there was a family area and solo traveller/adult side. Extra thanks to Ginny for providing some batteries that I’d forgotten! Very prompt when responding to queries. Amazing clear skies at night.
