Cotril Farm Campsite

Peaceful, simple rural site on a family-run North Yorkshire farm
A 15-minute drive to Castle Howard; 35 minutes to York
Wild camping, Howardian Hills views, sheep and pigs in the fields

Cotril Farm Campsite is a back-to-basics site on a working farm in North Yorkshire’s Howardian Hills National Landscape. This remote spot is set up to be somewhere you can forget life’s pressures, let the children burn off energy running in the fresh air and set out on foot to explore nature. On the farm you can make friends with pigs, sheep and chickens, and buy ‘happy eggs’ from free-range hens for breakfast around the campfire. Sourcing supplies for your barbecue is easy, as the local village of Terrington has handy shops. It’s also home to the Yorkshire Lavender Farm, a 60-acre hillside farm where you can wander lavender fields and pick up plants. Plenty of walks and bike rides in the Howardian Hills start right from the farm, and the North York Moors National Park has a range of hiking and cycling routes too. From the camping field there are distant views of Castle Howard in one direction and Sutton Bank (plus its landmark White Horse) the the other. Jump in the car and explore market towns like Malton, Helmsley and Thirsk, all packed with indie shops, cosy pubs and farmers’ markets. The Roman walls and history museums in York are well worth a peek too. If you’re holidaying with the kids, York’s Jorvik Viking Centre makes a top-notch day trip for them (book ahead though), or you can spoil them with thrill rides and animal encounters at Flamingo Land Resort.

What customers say

This is a peaceful, back-to-basics farm campsite offering beautiful views and a quiet atmosphere. Visitors consistently praise the exceptional cleanliness of the portaloos and the friendliness and helpfulness of the owners. Pitches are spacious, and fire pits are available to hire. While some note occasional noise from farm animals, particularly pigs, many find it part of the farm experience. A small number of recent reviews mention newly installed showers. Overall, it is highly recommended for a relaxing getaway.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The site is set on a farm, with lots of animals in surrounding fields. The facilities are very well kept which include gas powered showers and well maintained toilets. There are facilities for recycling and disposal of ash from fires etc, with fire pits available although we took a camping stove which bricks were provided for :) it’s a nice family run camp site, the man we met in the morning was lovely! Would recommend to both families and solo travellers.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked So clean peaceful and quiet just a lovely place for a nice little break. Me and my partner stayed in for two nights on the 31st July and definitely will be returning.
Your not rushed to get off when you live we had some fresh eggs which was lovely. The one thing I wasn’t looking forward to was the portaloos but they was clean and tidy I was very surprised. We hired a fire pit on the Saturday night for a cheap price of £5 we phoned the lady and she came straight away with the fire pit nothing seemed to be to much trouble for her. I would definitely recommend this place we stayed and spent the day in York on the Saturday what a lovely town ❤️❤️❤️

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked - what a place! We knew we was visiting somewhere with minimal around it, It’s spacious easy going and friendly just what we wanted minimal around. Nice suprise when we got there for the hire of the camp fire. All I did was drop a text and they communicated back for whatever we needed. I have seen reviews about noisy pigs which made me howl when I arrived because you are on a bloody farm! There was people there that returned regularly and we will too! My daughter loved the sandpit, toilets were clean. Drinking water also. We really felt relaxed after it Thankyou xx
