  • 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 well-maintained, family-friendly campsite offering spacious, level pitches and beautiful countryside views. Visitors praise the friendly and helpful owner, Liz, and the clean, basic facilities. The on-site vending machines for milkshakes, coffee, and local produce are a popular addition. Its location is ideal for exploring the coast and moors. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few guests noted occasional queues for the limited shower facilities and some minor issues with noise from other campers.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked This is such a lovely little campsite. Very simple but it works perfectly. The owner responds to texts and answers calls straight away. The facilities (toilets/showers/washing up station) are basic but clean and adequate for the size of campsite that this is. The little self serve farm shop with milk shake machine, coffee machine and vending machine stocking everything from eggs, sausage rolls and chocolate bars is brilliant.

When you arrive you find an empty pitch then contact the owner to let them know which pitch you are on. You can hire windbreaks, fire pits (with everything you need to light and fuel them) and can purchase marshmallow kits. Payment can be made via card which is amazing as I rarely have cash on me. The location is brilliant, about 15 mins drive from Whitby town centre and just over 30 mins to Saltburn. It was the perfect base to stay overnight and then head to the beach the next day.

I would definitely consider staying longer next time.

Disliked The owner said they are only open May half term and during the summer holidays which is understandable but sad as this is a lovely campsite and would be great for the odd weekend camp whenever the weather is nice enough. This is the only negative I could think of and not really a negative!

Lovely site close to Runsiwck Bay and Staithes.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Lovely, simple site. Great views and clean facilities. The kids loved the home made milkshakes. Hearing curlews and owls and the beautiful sunsets.

Disliked We didn't realise we had to pitch close to the fence so were asked to move the tent after we'd pitched it in high winds. This was quite stressful.

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.
