  • Dog-friendly East Yorkshire wild camping site seven miles from the sea
  • Two miles from the Trans Pennine Path; a 15-minute drive from Hornsea
  • Stream, communal firepit and woods for den building; hammocks to hire
Kick back in a hammock, build a den or sit quietly with a book by the stream… in the two-acre woodlands at Springfield Woods in the village of Skirlaugh, it may feel easy to forget that the seaside action of Hornsea is just 15 minutes’ drive away and the city of Hull 20 minutes’ drive away. In fact, you'll probably forget quite a few aspects of modern life once you've pitched up for your East Yorkshire wild camping break with the woodlands on one side and the trickling Lambwath stream on the other. You'll be able to clock in for some quality time with an accomplice of your choice here, as this site welcomes families and dogs. There’s a car park, a communal firepit for warm, sociable nights and plenty of space in the woodlands to hang up a hammock (hire one from the site or bring your own) while the kids gather wood to build their own makeshift shelter. Cyclists and walkers alike can cross over a field to follow a footpath for two miles towards the Trans Pennine Trail, a lengthy walking, cycling or horse riding route through some splendid countryside. While things are certainly peaceful on the site, you shouldn't feel like you’re completely cut off. There’s a historic village pub that serves homecooked food five minutes’ walk away, close to a food shop where you can get together a nice trove of things to snack on while you unwind or cycle around East Yorkshire’s easy-going country roads.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Great little site with grass pitches and woodland. The 3 of us (2 adults 1 14yr old) pitched in the trees with tarps and bivvy/hammock and had sole use of the communal fire pit as we were the only ones there due to poor weather 1st couple of nights. We usually wildish camp so this place was great with addition of shower. Very peaceful, and well located to visit other areas on the coast. Host was very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Will be visiting again definitely.

Disliked: Nothing. A longer season would be better ie autumn winter.

Cornflower bell tent

Liked: Well, what can I say!! A piece of woodland paradise. We stayed for 2 nights with 3 young children and a large dog. The bell tent was spacious, with lovely clean bedding and comfy beds. Basic cooking equipment was provided with a tripod grill and fire pit. Ruth the host could not do enough for us, what a lovely lady. I would encourage all of you to pay a visit, I’m so pleased I stumbled upon this beautiful little place. Thankyou for a fab weekend x

Disliked: Nothing at all! What a super place. No wifi available but I wouldn’t expect a place like this to have it anyway!

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Peaceful surroundings on the edge of a small wood. Safe for my 5 year old to explore with me as the cars where parked away from the camping area. Lots of small wildlife to spot including dragonflies, frogs and various birds. Good dark skies for looking at the stars. The hammocks were very relaxing. Fabulous shower and other eco facilities, including solar mobile phone charging. We really enjoyed our stay.

Disliked: We had to queue for the loo a couple of times, an additional toilet would be a bonus.

Local attractions

In Hornsea (15 minutes' drive), try your hands at some pottery, visit the beach or head to the Hornsea Mere (10 minutes), a freshwater lake that's great for sailing or casting out a fishing rod. If you fancy a visit to a working farm, try nearby Honeysuckle Farm (15 minutes), which has fishponds, animal feeding and horse and cart rides. Happily, Hornsea isn’t the only seaside town within reach of the site. There are also beaches in Mappleton (15 minutes), Fraisthorpe (30 minutes) and Bridlington (30 minutes). And a little further away, Flamborough Head (45 minutes) has a lighthouse and cliffs for puffin-spotting or boat trips out to sea to look out for passing seals and porpoises. To the west, Beverley (20 minutes) has its own pleasures, including a minster, church and market. The city of Hull (20 minutes) is to the south if you fancy a dip into the museums or The Deep, an aquarium where kids can try and find Nemo’s clownfish lookalikes.
