Quiet back-to-basics site at Shiptonthorpe edging the Yorkshire Wolds
Hull half an hour’s drive; York 35 minutes; Hornsea Beach 40 minutes
Walking and cycling from the grass pitches; takeaway 10 minutes’ walk

Wake up to the peace and quiet of East Yorkshire countryside at House Martins Camping, a back-to-basics campsite with a limited number of pitches on an expanse of level meadow. In Shiptonthorpe village, right on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there is plenty of wildlife to see on site, from owls, bats and pheasants to the deer and hares that inhabit the surrounding countryside. There’s no need to leave any dogs at home; well-behaved canines are welcome on site too – and there are plenty of dog-walking opportunities direct from the pitches at this family-run – and family-friendly – site. Barbecues (raised off the ground please) are allowed. No need to bring food for your whole stay, as you can restock at supermarkets and butchers in Market Weighton (five minutes’ drive). There are also cafés, bakeries, pubs and takeaways all within 10 minutes’ walk, and a vending machine for fresh milk at a farm in Shiptonthorpe. If you’d prefer to abandon the car when you set out exploring, there is a bus stop five minutes’ walk away, which takes you to historic York (35 minutes by bus) one way, or Hull (half an hour) in the other direction. Simple facilities run to portable toilets, a sink with a cold water tap and a separate tap for drinking water. Please note that there is no hot water or electric hook-up on site, but there are charging facilities for mobile phones and power packs. The site encourages recycling, for which there are bins provided.
