Here is a panoramic view from my pitch. (added by visitor 11 aug 2021)

Spectacular views from my tent (added by visitor 19 jul 2021)

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 Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. 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 AONB 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.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Back to basics site, 2 portaloos which were kept very clean a water tap and several bins. Large pitches with some lovely views of the surrounding countryside.

Myself and my dog had a very relaxing 3 day stay here, the bonus for me was campfires are allowed nothing better then sitting by a campfire on a night and stargazing.

Liked: Little touches such as fire pits, logs and fire starters available on site with a honesty box. The landowner comes at least once a day to check toilets are in order. Very pretty sunrise in the morning and great for walking and trips into York.
