What customers say
Lilling Hall Farm is a small, peaceful, adult-only campsite renowned for its tranquil rural setting and welcoming hosts. Guests frequently praise the owners' friendliness and helpfulness, often mentioning thoughtful touches like complimentary refreshments and local information. The facilities, particularly the shower and toilet, are consistently described as immaculate and well-maintained. While some found the campsite basic, most highlight the quiet atmosphere, beautiful surroundings with horses, and convenient location for exploring York and nearby attractions. A few minor points were raised regarding the entrance's tightness for larger vehicles and occasional Wi-Fi issues.

Liked ✨ Lilling Hall Farm ✨
Some places leave a mark on your heart. This weekend, I found one of those places.
The moment I arrived at Lilling Hall Farm, something shifted. The peace, the beauty, the energy that surrounds this place is unlike anything I have experienced before. Words struggle to capture it because it is something that must be felt.
From the magnificent ancient trees standing watch over the land, to the endless skies, open fields, and the feeling of complete stillness, every corner radiates love, warmth, and light. There is a sense of sanctuary here that reaches deep into your soul.
This place didn't just welcome me; it called to me. It felt familiar, comforting, and somehow like coming home. The energy here wrapped around me and left an imprint on my heart that I know will stay forever.
The owners have created something truly special. Not just a beautiful place to stay, but a space where people can breathe, reconnect, heal, and simply be. Their kindness and care can be felt in every detail.
One night simply isn't enough. The longer you stay, the more you understand why people never want to leave. Lilling Hall Farm isn't just somewhere you visit—it's somewhere that becomes part of you.
Thank you for sharing your little piece of magic with us. I already know this won't be goodbye. This place will keep calling me back.
💚🌳✨ Some places are destinations. Others become home to your soul. ✨🌳💚

From the manager: With many thanks, it was a pleasure to meet you both. You are welcome anytime ❤️
Like staying on a friend's farm 🙂
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Such a lovely place to stay ! More like staying in a field on your friend's farm than a "campsite"!
The owners are super helpful and friendly, often providing cups of tea if you're around when they have the kettle on 🙂. The place is peaceful and laid back, and the camping field is level, with beautiful mature trees for shade if needed.
I loved that the facilities are in a "proper" family-type bathroom within the farm buildings instead of the usual utilitarian, often less-than-clean campsite blocks. There is also a fridge/freezer for guest use right next to the bathroom, and cold bottled water was provided during my stay (the weather was really hot!) .
I highly recommend this site if you're after somewhere peaceful, friendly and low-key 💚🚐🏕️🚐💚

Liked Excellent campsite based within the grounds of a lovely old farmhouse / Working stud farm 🐴 Lynn and Gary ensure you have everything you need! We were able to chose our pitch, they delivered a picnic bench to our van, and sent us home with ice lollies 🍦 due to the record breaking May bank holiday heat 🌞
Disliked Having to leave 😕

Liked Absolutely loved our 2 night stay.
We instantly felt relaxed and comfortable when we arrived.
Lynne was more than welcoming, meeting us as we pulled up.
Gave us lots of information about places to eat and the local amenities in the surrounding villages.
She was so kind and offered us a cup of tea!
The site has such a peaceful atmosphere.
It was really lovely to see the horses in the fields too.
The toilet and shower room was impeccably clean.
The camping field was ideal.with Flat levil pitches. Water on hand and a washing up area.
We had a gorgeous Sunday lunch at the blacksmiths arms. Which is about a half hour stroll away.
Well recommended!
If there is such a thing as a perfect campsite, this is definitely ours. Can't wait to visit again!

A lovely stay and looking forward to staying here again.

Liked Everything about this place is special. The welcome was very warm with a cup of tea and biscuits at our arrival and a tour around the stables to meet their horses.
The farm has been a project of love by the owners and it shows. Some may find the outdoor facilities basic but the shower room was cosy and clean.
It's a very peaceful place and has dark skies for stargazing. We would be happy to stay again.
We also liked the recently reopened Blacksmiths Arms a couple of minutes away by car. (Thanks, Lynne, we'll bring our bikes next time.)
Disliked We found nothing to dislike at this wonderful campsite though just a heads up, the entrance may be a bit tight for large motorhomes.
