  • Paddock pitches behind a Georgian farmhouse in rural North Yorkshire
  • A 10-minute drive to Castle Howard, and 20 minutes to historic York
  • Back-to-basics camping for adults only, 10 minutes' walk from a pub
Elegant, Georgian-era Lilling Hall Farm is in a rural setting surrounded by peaceful North Yorkshire countryside. With just a few pitches on its paddock, this adults-only spot makes a convenient base for nature lovers, walkers and cyclists who like to mix up their holidays with a dollop of history and culture. The level grass camping field has mature trees for shelter, and there are a couple of seating areas in secluded corners of the garden where you can relax on sunny days. The friendly site owners are happy to dole out teas and coffees (and the occasional seasonal fruit or free-range egg) on your arrival, and chat about what you might do during your stay. You may get to watch horses being schooled during your stay (please note, due to the horses, no dogs are allowed on the site) – and thanks to the lack of light pollution in these parts, when clear, the night sky is awash with stars. Thornton-le-Clay village (10 minutes’ walk) has a couple of pubs, and there are many more to be discovered in surrounding villages, where you can rest up after a day’s adventure and enjoy good grub along with Yorkshire bitter. This is a back-to-basics site, albeit one in lovely surroundings, so please be aware that facilities are simple – including toilets, showers, chemical waste disposal and a wifi connection; there is no hot water outside

What customers say

Lilling Hall Farm is consistently praised for its peace, tranquility, and stunning rural location, with many guests highlighting the exceptional friendliness and helpfulness of the hosts. Facilities, particularly showers and toilets, are frequently described as spotlessly clean. The adult-only, small-pitch site is ideal for relaxation, with beautiful horses on-site adding to the charm.

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. ✨🌳💚

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 😕

Local attractions

If you’re keen to get into those hiking boots, Strensall Common (five minutes’ drive) has easy walks across heathland, while the North Yorkshire Moors National Park (10 minutes) has a whole host of hiking and cycling opportunities through gorgeous villages, as well as more strenuous routes across scenic moorland. All this wild countryside and yet such easy access to the historic city of York (20 minutes), with walks around its Roman walls, the vast minster to have a look around and indie shops to browse in narrow cobbled streets. Romantic Castle Howard (10 minutes) and its Capability Brown landscapes have plenty to keep you occupied, from rope courses to fascinating tours of the art treasure in the stately main house. You can also pick up the A64 at Flaxton Moor (five minutes) for day trips to legendary east-coast seaside resorts of Scarborough (55 minutes) and Bridlington (an hour), or pick up the North Yorkshire Moors Railway at Pickering (half an hour) and steam your way to Whitby (an hour) across the moors. Closer to home, fishing and golfing options are less than 15 minutes away by car.
