  • 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.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked What an absolute delight of a site, well maintained superbly clean, wonderful surroundings and friendly site owners. Pitch sizes are more than ample and most things have been thought of. Fridge and freezers, milk vending machine, hot drinks and cakes in another vending machine. An absolute gem.

Disliked Toilets were very compact for us fuller figured customers lol.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Ideally situated near Whitby, very peaceful, surrounded by nature and very reasonably priced. Wash facilities were spotlessly clean if a little basic. Very friendly staff and the little vending machine shop looked very well stocked

Disliked Some of the pitches are quite steap so if your in a camper or roof tent bring your leveling blocks. Not a criticism your on the moors at the end of the day

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Nice large pitches, well spaced out, good level ground. The facilities are clean and just enough for the size of the site. Vending machines are handy, great fresh milk for breakfast! Great as a base for local beaches/Whitby. Will definitely be back here again.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Pitch black skies at night (could see the stars). So quiet (before the dawn chorus) that you couldn’t hear a thing. Friendly owner, stripped back amenities. All you could want.

Disliked Toilets a bit snug!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Great new showers. Twice as many as before so that’s great. Same calm quiet site. Well spaced pitches. Beautiful scenery. Liz kindly let us stay on to allow our tent to dry out between squalls on departure day. Fab hostess who works really hard to make sure her campers are comfortable and the site is clean. Can’t wait to come back for a week in summer. Thanks Liz.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Great campsite with good clean facilities. Liz was a super host and nothing was to much trouble. Lovely little find with ample space and all require basic amenities. The fridge and freezers were a fantastic addition.

Disliked Some people took full benefit of the fridges filling them with alcoholic drinks and bottles of wine. Seems a little selfish when others are trying to squeeze food in - but that's not the sites problem and I'm sure if I'd spoke to Liz she would have resolved it.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Fantastic campsite, with ample clean amenities. 4x hot showers available you just need to position yourself correctly for the water flow as some don't have a straight flow. 4x clean and well stocked toilets - never ran out of toilet roll or hand towels Lizzie was always stocking them up. Dishwashing station available with hot water as well as washing airers and vending machines for sweet and savoury snacks, fresh milk and milkshakes and hot drinks. A wonderful little camp site. Nothing was to much bother. Hire price for any additional extras reasonably priced. Great value for money and large pitches.

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.
