What customers say
This peaceful, well-maintained campsite offers beautiful views and ample space. Visitors praised the friendly, helpful owners, high-quality farm produce, and clean basic facilities including portaloos. While some noted occasional animal noise from the working farm, this was generally considered to be part of the experience. Campfires are permitted, and fire pits are available to hire. The site is highly recommended for a relaxing getaway.

Anonymous Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

A great 2 nights get away
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Great camp site and the hosts Mike and Linda and family very friendly and helpful and made us feel really welcome when we first arrived.
For us we like wild camping and getting away from too busy places which you can’t really do in England now but this was perfect as it feels like wild camping but there are basic facilities such as Toilets onsite which were clean and regularly maintained, tap water, Free range eggs and amazing duck eggs for sale and also meats if you need anything for the bbq!
Overall a great two nights getting away from it all and will be visiting again. Thank you.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Fantastic getaway! We really enjoyed our first stay at Cotril Farm! The owners are so attentive, and make you feel so welcome! We were positioned in front of the pig shed, next to the sheep field, but if you’re a proper outdoorsy person, it won’t bother you like us! Burgers were amazing too! And the absolute best duck eggs I’ve ever had! We can’t wait to book again through the summer! Even though there is no shower facilities, basics are covered with portaloos, sink for washing up and drinking water tap, all the basics you need for a great weekend camping! Thank you for a beautiful stay, we will definitely be back!!💚

Excellent site with gorgeous countryside, level pitch.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Second time of staying here, my partner lives in Norton but it’s just so nice to have a night away. Pitched up after the rain had cleared. We were the only ones on the site, it was so peaceful. Had a walk into the village then a drive to Sheriff Hutton for a couple of hours and a beer at the pub. Watched the sunset and enjoyed the countryside surroundings. It’s perfect for us and we will definitely return.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Great pop up camping, loverly views of hills and grazing sheep.
Farmer and daughter always available for any help.
Pitch was a great size, clean, tidy and plenty of space between people.
Farm produce available to buy and delivered to your tent when ready to cook.
Water areas and portaloo always kept clean.
Fantastic to find a site that allows fire pits to be used - fire pits and logs can be hired.
Be aware it’s a working farm so there is animal noise from the pigs, but you soon get used to it and switch off.
