  • Peaceful adults-only site 30 minutes' walk from Pickering
  • On the edge of the North York Moors and 30 minutes' drive to the coast
  • On-site service and repair centre; 80-acre farm with riverside walks
Holiday parks don't get much calmer than Westgate Carr Farm, an adults-only site a mile and a half outside the North Yorkshire town of Pickering. This spacious farm in the scenic Vale of Pickering is spread over well-kept land that's bordered by trees, a stream and fields (where the beady-eyed may spot both wild and domestic animals). Set halfway along a country lane, this award-winning 81-acre site is a few minutes by car from the edge of the North York Moors National Park, arguably one of the finest rambling spots in England (and it's within walking distance of the town centre too, if you've got any energy left…). The north-east coast at Filey or Scarborough can also be reached with roughly a half-hour drive. Not to be outdone by the scenic local surroundings, Westgate Carr Farm has a fair bit to keep you pottering around base for some of your stay, including a pond and a riverside trail where you're welcome to walk your dog. All kinds of fish and fowl can be spotted in this wildlife haven, so tread softly if you want to be in with a chance of spotting yellowhammers, swifts, kingfishers or trout along the way. It's worth planning to stay up late too, as the dark skies here are prime stargazing territory. The facilities at Westgate Carr Farm are also handy to have as well: there's an outdoor washing-up area, an immaculate luxury bathroom block (with toilets, showers, washing-up area and dishwasher), drinking taps, waste disposal points (including a drive-over grey waste drain) and a recycling area. A service and repair centre for caravans and motorhomes is also on site.

What customers say

Top-notch, chill adults-only spot. Revellers rave about the ample, flat spots, spick-and-span amenities, and gorgeous country views. Great for dog walks with loads of wildlife (alpacas too!). Owners are legend, super helpful with local tips. Peaceful vibes near Pickering are a big win.

Power optional concrete and grass motorhome site (no awning)

Liked Absolutely perfectly manicured grounds, great to see how much effort towards nature too.
Walking around there is a lot of nature to see if you take the time to keep still and look, deer, squirrel, barn owl among many to see. Walk along the river showed many large fish, not sure what they were though.

Disliked Would have liked to have the washing up water a little bit more towards the hot side, Luke warm makes cleaning up the bbq kit a little bit of a chore.
This may seem a little critical but it is important in my book.
Bus stop approx one mile from site, took taxi to Pickering to get bus was best option, taxi was around £7.50 each way.

Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site (premium)

Liked Impeccably presented site, spotlessly clean facilities, well maintained grounds and a super friendly welcome.
The grounds are really well looked after with regular mowing and features specimen trees and pretty shrubs. The pitches are separated by hedging for privacy. This is a quiet site a mile down a lane from the town.

 Mark W. 5 reviews

Power optional concrete and grass motorhome site (no awning)

Liked Great pitches, very well maintained with hedges separating the pitches. Picnic benches on every pitch. Everything very clean and tidy. This is a very well laid out site and we were in a small back section of 4 pitches which suited us perfectly.
The staff are very friendly and informative.
Nice walk along the lane to get in to Pickering, took us 35mins to get to the centre

Disliked Limited showers, only one in each although nice and warm. Don’t have to wait too long to be fair but may be a problem if timing was wrong?

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your review Mark
Interestingly you rate us 9/10 value for money ... we have 23 pitches only in beautifully landscaped grounds totalling nearly 3 acres. Caravan site operator's licensing allows upto 30 units per acre and therefore we could fill the park with 90 pitches but we choose to (at great cost to us) only have 25 pitches so everybody enjoys large pitches with great views and meticulously maintained open areas. You can pay a lot more for some campsites locally that are more akin to a car park!
Also, to set the record straight. we have 5 showers in 2 separate buildings. The new shower units opened in May costing £25,000 and showers are not obligatory for campsites with fewer than 70 pitches. According to standard UK campsite licensing guidelines, showers are only required to be installed once a site exceeds this threshold. For campsites that do provide showers, the standard licensing standard is 1 shower per 25 pitches

5 showers per 25 pitches therefore is incredibly generous and again provided at significant cost. Our 2 amenity blocks cost over £100k to build and , as above, we are not obliged to provide any

Local attractions

Whether you've come here craving the classic seaside buzz of Scarborough (30 minutes' drive) or prefer more low-key jaunts treading the footpaths and beaches around Filey (40 minutes), you'd do well to squeeze in a trip to the coast or two during your stay here. Looking inland, the main highlight of the local area has to be the North York Moors National Park (a few minutes' drive), where you can pedal through the trees of Dalby Forest (20 minutes), conquer the canopy at the nearest Go Ape (20 minutes) or head to Grosmont (30 minutes) for steam train rides and cosy village cafés. Make a point of seeing the Howardian Hills too – especially Castle Howard (30 minutes), its undisputed highlight. For informative days out with just a hint of history, you've got Ryedale Folk Museum (15 minutes), an open-air heritage centre where you can wander around historic buildings and learn about rural life in Yorkshire from the Iron Age to the 50s. Proper medieval buffs, meanwhile, will be pleased to note that this site is within striking distance of York Minster, Clifford’s Tower and St Mary's Abbey (all 50 minutes).
