  • 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.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The site was well laid out, with individual pitches and excellent facilities. The owners were really helpful. Good showers and appreciated the shower mats that were available. Good location near to Whitby and also for walks round the reservoir.

Disliked: Could have done with a brush in the toilet / shower block. As lots of grass treaded in.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Great sized pitches separated by long grass and young trees, giving you your own private area. Purpose built fire pit areas and nice clean facilities. In close proximity to a lovely walk around the reservoir and local pub. Plus a short drive from popular seaside destinations.

Disliked: A little bit of a pain having to cart your camping equipment from the car park to your pitch. Although I can understand it is to preserve the grass plus safer for children. There are also trolleys provided.

Liked: Fantastic weekend at Clover Hill Farm. The site is beautiful and well maintained. Pitches are really well spaced, facilities include a shower / toilet block (cubicles are unisex) and a kitchen area with washing up and some cooking facilities.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: We stayed at Clover Hill, May Bank holiday this year with our 2 grandchildren, 9 and 14. A lovely quiet site A stones throw from Whitby. On site facilities include a bathroom comprising of 2 toilets with sinks and 2 showers. These are modern A kept extremely clean. The kitchen / Wash area was a massive surprise. 2 sinks, wash up provisions and to top that, saucepans etc and the use of a microwave and mini oven Ive never seen this before on a campsite, so was really impressed. Pitches were a good size and level Whole site kept very clean. Sarah, the owner was a lovely lady and very accommodating. Would camp here again, but during the Summer when HOPEFULLY we will have better weather.

Disliked: Only down for me is that we can't have the car near the tent and understandably so as the field gets boggy with the rain. 2 trollys are available to ferry all your camping gear back n forth fr tent to car. However, both hubby and I have mobity issues, so this was hard a d on top of yhat, as everyone on site leaves around the same time, you have to wait and be quick to get your turn for the trolly.

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.
