  • 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 beautiful, well-maintained campsite with spacious, private pitches. Visitors praise the excellent, spotlessly clean facilities, including hot showers and a well-equipped communal kitchen. The on-site honesty shop is a popular addition. Its location is ideal for exploring the North York Moors and coast. While a few guests noted minor issues such as limited toilet/shower numbers during busy periods or occasional Wi-Fi patchiness, the overwhelming sentiment is highly positive, with many guests expressing a strong desire to return.

Chestnut bell tent (six person, XL)

Liked Amazing set up. Everything was clean and close by. The showers were amazing too. The little honesty shop on site is the best idea I’ve seen at a campsite.

Disliked It’s not really a dislike but the WiFi is a little hit and miss but majority of the time it’s good!

Circus gypsy caravan

Liked Welcome message sent with all the information we needed to get settled. Further information was available in the caravan about the site, the van, and local amenities. Well appointed communal kitchen is available but as we arrived in one of the worst storms I have even camped in we were very appreciative of the fancy coffee machine and 'shop' available in what looks like an adapted horse box. This stocks a range of hot and cold drinks, snacks and basic food items and some fancier local treats, accessed via a ramp. The shower and toilet block was immaculate and really warm inside, well lit and with facility for hairdrying etc., access via step. The gypsy caravan itself is lovely and a really quirky place to stay for a night or two. There is a small heater provided which was more than adequate to keep it warm even through the weather we camped through. Wifi is available across the site and soft lighting provided in the van with fairy lights and battery operated tea lights. We loved the van, but I might suggest it isn't ideal if you are fairly tall. Overall the site is well appointed and thought out and has everything you could need for a glamping break.

Disliked There wasn't really anything negative to say. Tiniest little niggle - the information folder said there were instructions on folding down the bed and they were missing. However, the farm were fab and sorted straight away sending over a really clear video of the process which was super easy to follow. The ramp to the shop might be a little steep if using a chair.

Rowan bell tent (six person)

Liked We liked it all, fabulous, plentifully resourced site, wash area and bathrooms spotlessly clean which is paramount for us, well stocked and varied supply of goodies and luxuries in the coffee shop trailer, logs, kindling readily available, never a shortage. The stove i side and out perfect for toasting marshmallows. Peaceful and tranquility all around, a great base, definitely recommend.

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.
