  • Scenic family-run farm site in the North York Moors National Park
  • A 10-minute drive from Runswick Bay; 20 minutes from Whitby
  • Vending machine with pies, sandwiches, cakes and milkshakes
From setting sail from a local harbour and paddling down at the beach to riding steam trains and wandering round abbey ruins, you’ll be able to mix and match your activities around North Yorkshire’s countryside and coastline at Woodhill Camping. This family-run site is part of a working livestock and arable farm in the North York Moors National Park, 10 minutes’ drive away from Runswick Bay and 20 minutes from Whitby. The location here is a real selling point – as well as seaside jaunts, there are lots of lovely walking and cycling routes in the surrounding area. There are gorgeous views of the moors, hills and dales too… and yet it’s only about half a mile from the A171 for a convenient link to nearby attractions. And there's another selling point, in the form of the on-site vending machines. These are not your everyday vending machines, though… these ones can provide you with pies, sandwiches, milkshakes, cakes and fresh milk, plus hot drinks. There are also farm eggs and potatoes for sale (and you can get fizzy drinks and chocolate bars too if you want). Ice creams or seafood specialties on your brain? Well, this site is well positioned for more tasty local produce. Lealholm is five minutes’ drive away, with a café, pub and village shop (and some cute stepping stones) and there are several more pubs within 10 minutes’ drive of the site. Dirty plates after all these eating escapades? There’s a covered washing-up area on site. Other facilities include toilets and showers.

What customers say

This is a peaceful, spacious campsite with generous, level pitches set around the edge of a field, leaving a large central play area for children. Facilities are generally clean and well-maintained, with popular vending machines offering milk, milkshakes, and hot drinks. The friendly and helpful owner, Liz, is praised for her attentiveness. While some noted limited shower facilities and occasional wind, the site is considered excellent value and a great base for exploring the local area.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked We had a lovely couple of nights at this clean and well kept site. Nice large flat pitches. Did not need to use the vending facility but it was a great option.

Disliked Only one shower for females. (It involved a wait) but, the shower itself was spacious, clean and hot.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Liz is a great host, always about if needed. Great location, handy for the east coast up and down. Great facilities, lovely and clean. Pitch sizes were big! We had 4 small children with us & we didn’t feel at all like we encroached on someone else’s pitch! Also the milk, tea & coffee vending machine was a bonus, nice touch to the campsite!
Big thumbs up from us! We will be visiting again!

Liked Great price, great clean facilities. Beautiful surroundings. Good amount of info on the website. Met by the owner who signed us in.
Milkshakes were also lovely.

I was excited about the pies from the vending machine but unfortunately none left.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Location is picturesque and was easy to find.
Milkshake vending machine on site were great.
Layout of the pitches were well organised and each plot has plenty of room.
Chickens were friendly and fun.
Everything was clean and functional (showers, toilets and washing up area).
Only a short drive to Runswick Bay which is a lovely beach to go fossil hunting at.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Peaceful, low-key, friendly and attentive owner. Facilities are limited in terms of there being just one shower for men, one for women, but everything was kept very clean. Great to have a fridge as well as a freezer, and the option of fresh milk was a bonus.

Disliked The site is quite exposed and wind was an issue when we were there, but you can rent windbreaks. It’s quite isolated so not one if you envisage walks to a pub for evening meals.

Local attractions

To the coast… Runswick Bay (10 minutes' drive) is a good place to start – this cute village has a scenic beach with space for swimming, fishing and crabbing, plus consistent waves for the surfers among you. Sandsend and Staithes are both 15 minutes’ drive away, or it's 20 minutes to Whitby, for the abbey ruins and the 199 Steps, plus boat trips and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. Looking a little further afield, you could head along the coast a bit more to Scarborough (40 minutes) for a waterpark, Sea Life Centre and another steam railway, or turn inland to explore Malton (50 minutes), often described as Yorkshire’s food capital. For family days out, try the likes of Flamingo Land Resort (40 minutes), with a theme park and zoo, or Eden Camp Modern History Museum (50 minutes), bringing the history of World War II to life with exhibits in a former prisoner of war camp.
