  • 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.

Liked: Really lovely campsite. The site manager is really attentive and very helpful. We loved the milkshake vending machine. You can hire fire pits and wind breaks. Really close to Runswick Bay, Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay. We will definitely return.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: On the moment of arrival I loved this camp site which was of neat and tidy appearance.
We chose the lower field to be nearer the toilets and showers etc but up in the top corner & good sized pitches.
Unfortunately I thought I'd forgotten the pegs but Liz very kindly loaned us some. Had a lovely stay (except it was very windy-but that's mother nature for you) The toilets and showers were kept clean. The freezer was handy to freeze our blocks and grandson loved having his milkshake from the vending machine. 10/10 and will look forward to visiting again.
PS. On arriving home my pegs dropped out of the tent bag! Grandson overlooked them! 😆

Disliked: No hairdryers nor sockets to use.

Liked: Lovely quiet place, the amenities are great, I always appreciate a fridge/freezer for my freezer blocks. Liz was very friendly and helpful. It was so peaceful just sitting next to our campfire watching the sun go down and the stars come out. Would definitely stay here again 🤩

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Perfect setting. The children loved the milkshakes and the chickens. Really well set up campsite with large pitches. Good facilities. So much fridge and freezer space. If we were staying longer we would definitely have made the most of the hire options of fire pit etc.
The pitches are set up to the side of the field which left the middle free with so much space for games which my nephews made the most of. Would definitely recommend.

Disliked: Often a queue for toilets when people were using the showers I think one more for the size of the campsite might help but this was so minor compared to how much we enjoyed everything else.
Sadly some guests also didn’t follow quiet hours and were playing loud music till the early hours. Again nothing at fault with the campsite or liz who couldn’t have been more helpful.

Liked: The fresh eggs you could buy, you can hire a fire pit that comes with a starter pack of logs, kindling and fire lighters.
There was a milkshake machine and it had a washing up room which was very handy.
The toilets and showers were also very clean

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Lovely small site. Toilets and showers are clean and well kept. Washing up area is under cover. New addition of fridge freezers in a little hut is handy. The pitches are huge so the site never feels crowded and you have plenty of space and don’t feel on top of other campers. Pitches are pretty level and grass kept short. Plenty of space in the centre for games etc. the site also offer windbreaks and fire pits to hire.

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.
