  • Well-maintained dog-friendly site in the North Yorkshire countryside
  • A 20-minute drive to the North York Moors; 50 minutes to the coast
  • Access to cycling and walking routes; pub and shops nearby
Pack your walking boots, gather your cycling gear and don’t forget your binoculars for the family-friendly Cherry Tree Park. Sitting cosily between the Howardian Hills and the North York Moors, this well-maintained family-friendly site is well based for walks and cycling through moors and forests or visits to historic halls and castles nearby… simply put, the hardest task will be plotting out your route, as this level-grounded base is a peaceful walker’s paradise. If you can’t bear to leave your dog behind, it's good to know that dogs and pets are welcome on site. For walkies time, take full advantage of the local footpaths – there are several cycling and walking routes nearby (along with more adventurous tracks between the trunks at Dalby Forest, 45 minutes’ drive). And handily, the coast is also within reach. So, if you have a taste for the pleasures of seaside (within 50 minutes’ drive), you can dedicate a day to the beach and harboursides. At the end of the day, freshen up using the toilet and shower block on site (there's an extra water point on hand if you need it). For eating out, there’s a fish and chip shop, an Indian restaurant and a pub within 10 minutes’ walk. And for anything else you need, the market towns of Helmsley and Kirkbymoorside have more amenities within five minutes’ drive.

What customers say

A neat, tidy, roomy campsite with bonza, helpful owners. Guests love the quiet vibe, flat spots, and handy spot near pubs and Helmsley. Toilets/showers are clean & decent, though a bit basic. Some mention noise from other campers or kennels, and spots can be a bit close when busy. Good value, and plenty want to head back.

Powered grass site

Liked The ground was very level and after reading reviews stating the toilets/shower blocks were dirty they were far from it, very clean and the staff were very friendly.

Disliked Only thing that lets it down is the hunt kennels nearby all the dogs did was howl and bark all night every night, this isn't the fault of the campsite but it is a massive problem, we spoke to all the other campers who all mentioned this

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Lovely family running the site, very kind and helpful! Site was very clear and well maintained. Simple, clean facilities that are all you need!
Short journey to Helmsley.
Had a lovely carvery at the Rose & Crown village a couple mins walk away on Sunday.
Had no light pollution, I snuck out of the tent in the middle of the night and just watched the stars - millions of them to see ❤️
Zero complains. We’ll be back!

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Tucked out of the way and not too far from Helmsley, you get the best of both worlds when staying at Cherry Tree Park. There's the relaxing on a spacious grass pitch and then just a stones throw away, there's the entertainment and wonder within a beautiful market town.

Cherry Tree Park proved to be an enjoyable stay. After being met by our wonderful host upon check in we quickly settled in and enjoyed the peace and quiet within our green surroundings. Amenities are fine, though you may have to wait your turn with the shower as there's only 2. After a kick about and a bit of lounging around we fancied a venture and there's the odd walking path nearby as well as a couple of pubs to whet your whistle.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Local attractions

Revel in nature’s own adventure grounds at the North York Moors National Park (20 minutes' drive), where there are merlins and other moorland birds to be spotted as you traverse the trails across woodlands and moors. The Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (20 minutes) also has a splendid landscape with old mills and gorges. For a turn towards manmade wonders, there are hands-on tours and exhibitions at Helmsley Castle (10 minutes) and a very pleasant organic garden and scenic manor house at the National Trust site, Nunnington Hall (10 minutes). Elsewhere, Rievaulx Abbey (10 minutes) has both riveting ruins and a museum to explore. If you fancy an escape to the seashore, Whitby (50 minutes) and Scarborough (55 minutes) each have beaches for a bit of bucket-and-spade time, plus promenade strolls and boats for fishing or sailing. The Flamingo Land Resort (20 minutes) is another worthy stop on your way around… entertain your wild side at the zoo or on the theme park rides.
