  • Well-maintained site in scenic Yorkshire countryside
  • A five-minute drive from local village; 35 to Scarborough; 45 to York
  • Within 20 minutes' drive of the North York Moors; playground on site
‘The course of true love never did run smooth, but breaks at Midsummer Caravan and Camping do’ … is what Shakespeare probably would have said if he’d ever stayed at this site five minutes’ drive from pretty Yorkshire village Thornton-le-Dale and 10 minutes from Malton. This is camping at its most peaceful. Not only is the site in scenic countryside, but it is also has a children's playground and lots of open green space. Low noise rules apply between 10.30pm and 8am to make sure that staying here is a pleasant experience for all. Dog parents can certainly bring their furry kid along for the trip (although no more than one dog is allowed per pitch), and there’s a large field alongside the River Syme for walkies if cabin fever sets in. If riverside strolls don’t quite cut it, the site’s well placed for longer jaunts: there are a handful of signposted circular walks of varying lengths around Thornton-le-Dale, and North York Moors National Park is less than 20 minutes away for lengthier and more challenging hikes, as well as cycle trails, horse riding and gliding.

What customers say

A clean, well-kept park with plenty of room on the sites. Great playground and handy for seeing the sights. While most reckon the new owners are friendly and keep things spick and span, a few have found the water a bit dodgy (smelled and tasted off) and reckon the toilets and showers could do with a spruce-up. It's a peaceful spot.

Liked Small site with large pitches. Play area for kids.

Disliked Electric kept on getting turned off through the night. Smell of the water in shower. Entrance and exit to the site. Tight bend, low, rockery that can cause damage to tourers.

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked A small site with wide, level pitches. Very tidy and neatly kept site.

Disliked The showers and toilets badly let this site down. There are only 2 showers and 2 toilets for the whole site which is approx 15 pitches plus tents. Situated in port-a-cabins, up wooden ageing steps and a balcony. The bathrooms were dirty, floors unswept, tiles and sink not clean a rusty shampoo holder in the shower. The showers were either hot or cold, no in between and one shower didn’t have a curtain or screen. We ended up using our own facilities as I couldn’t face it.

Liked Ground was nice and level. Site was tidy.

Disliked No reception or anyone to speak to. Very smelly toilet and shower block although they were clean. Very noisy as a group of 8 campers were up until 3:30 am. Unsure if the water was actually drinking water, so didn’t use it.

Liked The actual campsite was lovely, but when we got there the facilities were dirty & bins had not been empty Had to complain and they only got cleaned the day after. Wasn’t very happy we were promised a refund and didn’t get it. Somebody did come to look at the facilities that night, but they were very abrupt and made us feel very uneasy.

Local attractions

What’s a holiday without sea, sand and (hopefully) sun? Luckily, no one has to find out here: the site’s 35 minutes’ drive from sandy stretches at the seaside resort towns of Scarborough and Whitby, so be sure to pack bucket, spade and (for the brave) a swimming cossie for when beach days beckon. There’s more to both than splashing about too. History buffs may be drawn to Whitby, where Bram Stoker was inspired to create some of Dracula’s integral scenes and where the stunning Whitby Abbey sits, waiting to be explored. Down the coast, Scarborough has a castle, museums, golf courses and gardens, as well as the Scarborough Fair Collection of showman’s engines. For more vintage vibes, time stays to coincide with the monthly Mattewsons Classic Car Auction (check dates before travelling), then spend the rest of your break touring stately homes: Scampston Hall and Gardens is 15 minutes away, Burton Agnes Hall and Sewerby Hall and Gardens are both within 50 minutes, and the stunningly cinematic Castle Howard is just 20 minutes from the site. As there are no kids to take care of, you can feel free to spend a few hours touring the Great Yorkshire Brewery (20 minutes' drive) and the Spirit of Yorkshire single-malt whisky distillery (40 minutes) – and picking up a tipple for later – before heading into York (45 minutes) for a night on the town.
