Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Me and my pal camped here from Thursday the 23rd to Sunday 26th of July 2026, and I must say I really enjoyed it here. It was a quiet, out of the way campsite, perfect for relaxing and getting away for a couple of days. We were greeted by Val, who is a lovely woman. Really friendly and checked in with us while we were there which was a nice touch. The pitches were spacious and had plenty of room and privacy from other campers. Really clean and tidy with no rubbish anywhere. Facilities did as they were supposed to. Warm clean showers and toilets. Great location for a quick getaway, and only a 15 minute walk to the nearest pub in Huby (Mended Drum), which does fantastic meals by the way! 8 minute drive from Easingwold, which has a lovely cafe on the high street, co-op, pubs and other eateries, which was ideal for getting supplies. If you want to walk it, it’s a 1 hr 30 walk from the site. You can also get the number 40 bus from Huby to Easingwold if you don’t fancy driving and fancy a few sherberts! Huby has honesty boxes all over the Main Street, where you can pick up eggs, honey, plums, jam and other bits and pieces, which was perfect for breakfast in the mornings. All in all a great site, and would definitely recommend it. I’ll definitely be returning.
