  • Scenic family-run farm site in the North York Moors National Park
  • A 10-minute drive from Runswick Bay; 20 minutes from Whitby
  • Vending machine with pies, sandwiches, cakes and milkshakes
From setting sail from a local harbour and paddling down at the beach to riding steam trains and wandering round abbey ruins, you’ll be able to mix and match your activities around North Yorkshire’s countryside and coastline at Woodhill Camping. This family-run site is part of a working livestock and arable farm in the North York Moors National Park, 10 minutes’ drive away from Runswick Bay and 20 minutes from Whitby. The location here is a real selling point – as well as seaside jaunts, there are lots of lovely walking and cycling routes in the surrounding area. There are gorgeous views of the moors, hills and dales too… and yet it’s only about half a mile from the A171 for a convenient link to nearby attractions. And there's another selling point, in the form of the on-site vending machines. These are not your everyday vending machines, though… these ones can provide you with pies, sandwiches, milkshakes, cakes and fresh milk, plus hot drinks. There are also farm eggs and potatoes for sale (and you can get fizzy drinks and chocolate bars too if you want). Ice creams or seafood specialties on your brain? Well, this site is well positioned for more tasty local produce. Lealholm is five minutes’ drive away, with a café, pub and village shop (and some cute stepping stones) and there are several more pubs within 10 minutes’ drive of the site. Dirty plates after all these eating escapades? There’s a covered washing-up area on site. Other facilities include toilets and showers.

What customers say

A peaceful, spacious site with level pitches surrounding a big central play area. Facilities are clean, with handy vending machines. The owner, Liz, is super helpful. Limited showers and some wind were noted, but it’s great value and a good base for exploring.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Lovely level field, facilities were spotlessly clean, spacious pitches. Our first time camping on our own and Liz was so lovely and helpful. We had a brilliant time and will be back?

Disliked Nothing about the campsite. First night was spoilt by large group drinking and shouting late into night, but owner dealt with them well and second night was lovely and peaceful!

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked The campsite was lovely and spacious with great views. We really liked the extra facilities of the milk machine, pies and eggs! Liz was lovely too!

Disliked Could have had more showers as it was busy and only having 1 meant it was difficult to squeeze in to the crowd

A great time was had by me and my family. We will be visiting again.

Edwin L.

Ash bell tent (six person)

Liked Its a fantastic camp site location and Liz manages all the details very well. We loved our night in the bell tent, with so much room inside for us all.
We treated ourselves to a campfire kit and extra stock of wood one night. It was the icing on the cake for a night under the stars. You simply have to have a well controlled fire to enjoy camping. Liz has all you ll need to enjoy your camping trip.
We'll be back.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Lovely big site, good sized pitches, good location, nice flat ground. Liz was very friendly and accomodating. Would definitely come back

Disliked My only dislike was that there was only 1 shower for the women and 1 for the men. Just also very cramed when people are brushing their teeth etc and having to keep the main door open was not very private when people were queueing

Recommend to friends Visit again

All in all a great little campsite, would definitely return

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked The pitches were large and spread out, the centre of the field was free for children to play, excellent views, pitches were nice and flat, facilities very clean.

Disliked A group were laughing and talking very loudly after 12am, obviously weren't aware of quiet time or other people trying to sleeo
Only one shower,

Liked Lovely little campsite, all the tents pitched round the field and a lovely big space in the middle for kids to play, was the first time taking our kids camping so was worried they would get bored but there was lots of families there with kids,has everything you need for a short stay including a washing up area and 2 fridge freezers for ice blocks and alcohol, also can hire wind breakers and camp fires cheap and liz was very helpful lending us some pegs when we were short

Disliked Nothing we had a lovely 2 night break

Local attractions

To the coast… Runswick Bay (10 minutes' drive) is a good place to start – this cute village has a scenic beach with space for swimming, fishing and crabbing, plus consistent waves for the surfers among you. Sandsend and Staithes are both 15 minutes’ drive away, or it's 20 minutes to Whitby, for the abbey ruins and the 199 Steps, plus boat trips and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. Looking a little further afield, you could head along the coast a bit more to Scarborough (40 minutes) for a waterpark, Sea Life Centre and another steam railway, or turn inland to explore Malton (50 minutes), often described as Yorkshire’s food capital. For family days out, try the likes of Flamingo Land Resort (40 minutes), with a theme park and zoo, or Eden Camp Modern History Museum (50 minutes), bringing the history of World War II to life with exhibits in a former prisoner of war camp.
