  • Family-run site on the edge of a peaceful Holderness village
  • A 10-minute drive from Withernsea; Spurn Head 15 minutes
  • Just over half a mile from the coast and spectacular clifftop scenery
Heading to Holderness for a camping holiday? A bright idea indeed, as this peaceful part of the East Riding coast has spectacular scenery and is dotted with an array of pretty villages. Right in the middle of it all is Elm Tree Farm, a relaxed site in the quiet village of Holmpton. Location isn't everything, though, and Elm Tree Farm has a fair few other perks worth noting. For starters, the fact that the site is family-run (and by a dog-friendly family at that) means that you can expect a laidback, uncommercial approach to camping here. The facilities are in good shape too – a well-equipped washroom is on hand with a hot shower, toilet and washing-up facilities, plus little extras like a fridge and microwave that guests are free to use. It's kitted out technologically too, with USB ports for easy phone charging and free wifi across the whole site. Hot breakfast sandwiches can be ordered the night before for a tasty boost come morning, and on-site chickens mean fresh eggs are often available. Elm Tree Farm holds a full license and can introduce you to a wide range of local craft beers and ciders either on your pitch or in the site's gorgeous garden. Withernsea (10 minutes) is down the road for supermarkets and takeaways, while the popular village of Patrington (10 minutes) has award-winning fish and chips and cafés.

Liked: Camp site very clean and well maintained. Owner friendly and welcoming. Checked in with us regularly. Toilets and wash room very clean.

Disliked: Couldn’t walk to the beach

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: It is usually possible to get onto the beach but we have had some extensive erosion this winter which has altered things slightly. Hopefully in the summer, it will be easier. We have recently upgraded the Wifi to the site and only 3 days ago, another camper on your pitch commented on how good it was. If you had said at the time, we could have done something about it for you.

Really enjoyed our stay. Excellent site and very peaceful.

Liked: Nice place to stay ,quiet and peaceful. But bit out of the way .small road upto it for a few miles .not really suitable for large motorhome or bigger caravan

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: For most people who visit our campsite, one of the biggest appeals is that it is ‘a bit out of the way’. The location is described VERY accurately in our Pitch Up listing so people shouldn’t really be surprised when they see what they have come to. We have had no problems at all with access onto the site for larger camper vans and caravans.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Very friendly and welcoming owners. Facilities were clean and tidy at all times and we were a 5 minute drive to a busy beach area with arcades and shops. The site was really quiet in the evening and we slept well. You also felt close enough to other guests that your could mingle but far enough away to feel that you have your own private space. Our 4 year old loved the opportunity to borrow some books during our stay and was happy to see the chickens and rooster. Our dog was very happy here too due to how peaceful the area was.

Local attractions

Pitching up here means being within striking distance of the sea pretty much throughout your stay, whether you're wandering down to the nearest cliffs (half a mile) or heading to further off spots like the windswept shores of Spurn National Nature Reserve and its discovery centre (15 minutes' drive) or the classic seaside resort of Bridlington (an hour). Also by the coast, Withernsea (10 minutes) has a range points of interest that ought to keep you amused for a good few hours, with an intriguing inland lighthouse that stands in the centre of the town and well-maintained amenities at the Pavilion Leisure Centre, where you can take a dip at the pool or work up a sweat at the gym. Further afield, Hull's Museums Quarter (40 minutes) will be of interest to anyone interested in archeology or William Wilberforce and the abolition of slavery. While in town, the kids won't want to miss the sea creatures housed at The Deep aquarium; if they've still got energy to burn after that you can always take them ice skating at the Hull Arena.
