This is an established site under new ownership which is open most of the year and offers 20 grass pitches with electric hook ups. Toilet block with shower cubical, two drinking water points on the site. Well behaved dogs are welcome but must be kept on the lead as the site is based on Equestrian yard.

What customers say

A quiet, adult-only spot in the Yorkshire countryside. Friendly owners, clean facilities with hot showers, and horses! Pods are well-equipped. Great value for a peaceful getaway, though pitches can get a bit muddy when it's wet.

Amber H.

Power optional grass site

Liked Really relaxed and peaceful site. We don’t like the busy noise of the large family campsites so this was perfect for us. Close to Scarborough and heading off for beautiful walks in North Yorkshire or along the coast.

Toilet and shower were clean and the water was hot. An essential when camping on cold and wet days.
