  • Rural North Yorkshire site over five acres, with great views
  • A 10-minute drive from Northallerton and North York Moors
  • Communal campfire area and fire baskets on site; pub half a mile away
A bit of quiet countryside chilling out or all sorts of North Yorkshire adventures – Sentry Circle Camping, three miles from Northallerton, is a fine spot for either (or a bit of both…) This rural site has the quite the history behind it – its name comes from the ancient stone circle in one of its fields, and its local village, Brompton, is the agreed location of the Battle of the Standard in 1138 (and also where local militia gathered ahead of the 1303 campaign to retake Scotland). These days it’s a much quieter place, where you shouldn’t find any swords getting in the way of your trip along a footpath to get to its shop and pub half a mile away. If you’ve come here in search of outdoor activities, you should find plenty of those in the North York Moors (10 minutes’ drive) and Yorkshire Dales (25 minutes) national parks – or perhaps on the Coast to Coast Walk, which passes a little under two miles away. Golf, horse riding and fishing are all easily accessed nearby too for a change of rural activity. Back at base, pitches are spread out over five acres of open fields, with plenty of space to run about and play games. Keeping warm later in the day requires a campfire, of course – and you can sort this by either settling down at the communal campfire pit or borrowing individual fire baskets to build your own blaze. Kiln dried logs are available to purchase on site. There is no wifi on site, meaning that guests can leave their emails behind and focus on kicking back and admiring the view.

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site

Helen F. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site

Liked: Dog friendly, good price, nice owner who was welcoming

Disliked: Huge slope, dirty facilities, previous campers left loads of rubbish behind, other campers arguing (obv not the owners fault). Didn't end up sleeping there, as would be too difficult to have a flat pitch, not a great vibe with people arguing, didn't help that it was blowing a gale up there!

From the manager: Hi Helen.

We are sorry you didn't enjoy your stay with us . Whilst we can't do anything to prevent arguments starting between people sharing a tent or about the strength of the wind ,please do let us know at the time if anything on site needs attention then we can put it right .

Jacqueline D. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site

Liked: Cheap site, friendly owner, dog friendly.

Disliked: Junk yard feel, dirty toilets, massive sloping hill, with no flat spaces to park and put tent up, very windy up there! There was an argument going on and people kicking off as there was a couple in the womens showers, rubbish left all over (by previous campers i assume). Obviously none of that was the owners fault but ended up deciding not to stay, even though we had paid, as it just wasn't for us.

We are saddened and disappointed too by the conduct of two campers this weekend , and the individuals in question will not be welcome on site in the future .

Would have loved to return if not for the incident that happened

Liked: Large field, can pitch where you want.
Amazing views
Real toilets!!
Water was hot which was a bonus!
Close to the main town.
Owner was lovely

Disliked: Sloped Hill
Had an issue with other campers which unfortunately meant we had to get the police involved. This wasn't owner's fault and he supported us.

Lorna B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site

Liked: Huge open space for pitching up, nice friendly community around the bonfire, no check in and out times so more relaxed. 2 pubs which were 15 minutes walk away :)

Disliked: Toilet and shower very basic and not really enough for the whole site but was never really busy when we used them anyway.

Local attractions

Aiming for lots of outdoor activities? Osmotherley (10 minutes’ drive) is a good place to head for – it’s the starting point for lots of trails in the North York Moors National Park, including the Lyke Wake Walk. For other options, there’s a golf course 10 minutes’ drive away, or a bit of angling at Stonebridge Fishing Lakes (20 minutes’ drive) or you can ride out of a horse trekking centre (25 minutes). For more leisurely days, potter around the indie shops in Northallerton (10 minutes), explore the National Trust site at Mount Grace Priory (10 minutes) or head to the stately home Kilpin Hall (20 minutes). The Forbidden Corner (45 minutes) is another fabulous place to visit – the four-acre garden is full of unusual bits and pieces including statues, follies, a huge pyramid and a ‘path to nowhere’. All of this will probably keep you busy for quite some time, but if you need more ideas, it’s worth noting that it’s only a 25-minute drive to the Yorkshire Dales National Park…
