  • Family-run site at Scaling in the North York Moors National Park
  • A 20-minute drive to Whitby; 25 minutes to Roseberry Topping
  • Well-equipped kitchen hut on site; barbecues and outdoor games to hire
With the landscapes of the North York Moors National Park all around and the coastline only about 10 minutes’ drive away, this is a nifty location for a North Yorkshire outdoor break. Clover Hill Farm is a family-run site in the hamlet of Scaling, up at the northern end of the national park about 20 minutes’ drive from Whitby. That location means there are plenty of options around for activities and days out, with hiking/cycle trails galore nearby, plus outings to beaches and seaside towns. And you won’t have to travel far to get your scenery/activity fix, as a 15-minute walk gets you to the waterfall at Roxby Mill. Alternatively, a five-minute stroll takes you to Scaling Reservoir for fishing, walks and watersports (or a game of crazy golf and a good meal at the waterside pub). Tailoring your break to your style is easy here – you can keep things simple or boost your break with various extras like barbecue hire, prosecco buckets and birthday banners. On arrival you can also sort things like local barbecue meat packs and outdoor games hire (giant Jenga, supersized Twister, that sort of thing…) Guest facilities centre around a shepherd’s hut washroom (with hot showers and flushing toilets) and a well-equipped kitchen hut with a mini oven, double hob, microwave, fridges and various pots, pans and utensils. Outside, there’s a large mowed area for games or for groups to gather. The folk that own this site are passionate about the environment, so they’ve made a concerted effort to plant new trees and hedging to create wildlife corridors and enhance the site’s biodiversity. Owl and bat boxes on site mean you may well see and/or hear these species at some point during your stay.

What customers say

This is a well-maintained, peaceful campsite with spacious, private pitches. Visitors consistently praise the excellent, spotlessly clean facilities, including showers and a well-equipped kitchen. The on-site shop and coffee machine are popular additions. Owners are described as friendly and helpful. Some minor points include the site being exposed to wind, a limited number of toilets/showers during peak times, and the need to transport luggage via wheelbarrow.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked We loved the site, it was scenic and peaceful. Great onsite amenities. Kitchen was great, toilet and shower facilities were great and all kept super clean. The cute onsite honesty shop was a great addition for little extras and souvenirs. Wheel barrows provided to take belongings to the camping area was really good for keeping cars away from tents and the ground in good condition.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked It’s a lovely and spacious site with clean facilities and lovely little touches. The owners were very friendly and helpful - it felt like a true family run site. It felt like they’d thought of everything!

Disliked Obviously not their fault, but it’s a very windy site! Not having cars at the pitches is great for the site feeling safe for kids, but the downside is having to move everything by wheelbarrow from the car. It’s a workable solution but a bit of a faff, especially when trying to keep little ones in check.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked Beautiful little spot out of the way but close enough to get to the places you want to go too.

Fab added extras i.e the little coffee shop with snacks is a lovely touch. Beautiful and clean washroom too was very impressed really enjoyed the site.

Also felt very safe on the site as a solo women traveling. The only thing what comes to bother you is a naughty crow at 5am waking you up on top of the tent rather loudly 😂🤣

Liked Spacious, clean, brilliant kitchen unit accessible to all, clean and warm wash facilities. A wonderful little shop with a coffee machine. Fire pits, wood and fire lighters available for a small fee well worth it and very much needed with the wind.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked We booked a few pitches to celebrate a friends birthday - between us we had 3 couples, two with kids spread across 3 pitches. We all said it was the best spot we’ve camped so far!

The communal spaces were very clean, well maintained! The showers and toilets were a godsend! Not like other places I’ve stayed where we’ve needed sliders to keep clean after cleaning haha!

The communal fridges were a nice touch - we did bring our own mini fridge as we didn’t expect this, so it’s super handy and helpful for those packing lighter!

The shop was well stocked, grateful as we forgot ketchup for our bbq! Pitches are quite spaced apart however well connected and easy visibility towards toilets and car park, so the kids could roam a little without us being too worried.

Location was spot on, really close to the dam, however no noise from roads or traffic. We could see the cows and horses which the kids loved! We also got to see a hare running around as we sorted our tents, and plenty of birds to watch and listen out for.

Owners were lovely too. We had a welcome message from Sarah while we were on route, and any questions I had were answered via texts so we knew we were in good hands.

Disliked Nothing!

Local attractions

There’s a whole lot of choice around here when it comes to walks and bike rides – and as the farm is on a public right of way, you can get started straight from the gate. Some of the top spots nearby include Blakey Ridge (20 minutes’ drive), Roseberry Topping (25 minutes) and the Hole of Horcum (half an hour). Not up for the exercise? Ride the North Yorkshire Moors Railway from Goathland (25 minutes). The national park stretches all the way to the coast, taking in seaside towns like Runswick Bay (10 minutes), Staithes (15 minutes) and Robin Hood’s Bay (half an hour). Saltburn-by-the-Sea (20 minutes) is another popular spot, with a lovely beach, a pier and a funicular railway to ride. The highlight for many, though, is a trip to Whitby (20 minutes), where you can stroll through the Old Town, climb the famed 199 Steps and visit the abbey, as well as spending time on the beach.
