A mile from Kirkbymoorside and close to bus stops

The views are about as rural as they come at Gateway to the Moors Caravan Park… and as its name suggests, this scenic hideaway is just on the edge of the North York Moors National Park. More specifically, it’s in the tiny village of Keldholme and surrounded by mature trees, with the River Dove on one side and a working farm on the other (and open countryside all around). Yet this site is surprisingly well connected: it’s easily accessed from the A170 and a mile from Kirkbymoorside, a market town with shops, pubs, takeaways and other amenities. There’s also an excellent bus service here (for outings around the Moors, to York or to the coast) and another bus stop in the village for jaunts to local towns. The park’s hardstanding pitches are well kept, with views down the field to the river, electric hookups and water close to each pitch. The team here takes pride in its lawns – the grass is cut regularly, and although barbecues are permitted, you’re asked not to put them on the grass. You may bring your own, but free firepits are provided for each pitch and bags of wood can be purchased on site. Handily, the site's entrance and exit are covered by security cameras and free wifi is available around the entrance/exit area. There are eco-friendly touches around the place too: recycling is encouraged, and there are facilities for charging batteries and electric bikes. This part of North Yorkshire is a great area for walkers and cyclists – stroll straight out from the site through the woods to pick up local footpaths if you don’t fancy straying too far. The site is also less than five minutes' drive away from Ryedale Auctioneers, an auction house, and 15 minutes' drive away from vehicle storage buildings in Pickering.

From the manager: Please read my disputed review comment. My dispute is declined because the review doesn't actually say anything other than "no comment" and because no ratings for anything were given either, it doesn't fall in to any of the categories that a review can be declined for, so it has to be published. It is very hard for a site to keep their overall review rating good , as for every 100 happy customers who give a 10 out 10 review, if we get only ONE x 4 out of 10 then with the way the system works , the overall rating is automatically brought down to 9.9, so really hoping I won't get many more like this. :) Many Thanks Jayne

Liked: Very well presented site. Spacious pitches. Views are very nice. Well organised recycling bins. Drinking water & waste disposal point. Although set back from the road the trees absorb most of the traffic noise. Very easy booking and confirmation and a lovely welcoming message from Jayne the owner. Would definitely stay again. Thank you.

Liked: We loved the site, loved the peace and quiet and loved the location. Jayne was such a fabulous, helpful host, she came round to check we had arrived ok and to check we had everything we needed. She also had so much local knowledge and gave us really helpful information about our stay. The site had everything we needed plus lots of special touches, a fire pit, logs for the fire to purchase, books to borrow which were for information as well as pleasure reading. Such simple touches but meant so much. The site was so near to everywhere we wanted to go. We brought bikes and on the door step for a fabulous weekend. Would definitely recommend and will definitely return. Thank you!

Disliked: Nothing!

Liked: Great little site, very clean and tidy. Friendly owner. Good walks from the site. We loved the fact you can have fires and can buy firewood on site. We enjoyed our stay thank you.

Disliked: Road noise - as it’s an uphill climb out the village, it means people need to put their foot down a bit more going up the hill, lots people using the route so it’s noisy throughout the night. Didn’t keep us awake but took longer to get to sleep because of it. Not ideal but not owners fault, just something to be aware of.

Liked: Lovely location Clean and tidy site Friendly management

Disliked: Sadly road traffic very noisy mostly farm machinery which is normal for a country site

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thankyou for your review and I'm really sorry that you were disturbed by the farm tractors leading the hay and silage up to the dales. Due to the horrendous weather for haytime and silage time that the farmers have endured earlier this year ,it was unfortunate for you (in some ways -but great in others) that it was the only longer fine spell of weather we have had when you were here, and this meant that there was a very unusual, very short term, massive increase in the amount of tractors/trailers on all the country roads. We have all heard the saying "you can only make hay when the sun shines" and sadly from your point of view, the 'hay leading' away from the fields made your holiday less enjoyable and I can only apologise for that. Best Wishes

Local attractions

Here, old railways, abbeys, museums and forest trails could all be part of your holiday schedule. Pickering (10 minutes’ drive) is your gateway for the North Yorkshire Moors Railway to Whitby (the location of the abbey that inspired Dracula) and Goathland (a village in the moors with a heritage station). If it’s history that gets you excited, then there are more historical sites scattered around: Rievaulx Abbey (15 minutes), a ruined Cistercian abbey, Ampleforth Abbey (20 minutes), a Benedictine abbey, or Castle Howard (20 minutes), a historical estate with playgrounds and huge grounds. For museums, there’s the Eden Camp Modern History Theme Museum (20 minutes) and The World of James Herriot (half an hour). If it’s wildlife you’re after instead, visit the National Centre for Birds of Prey (15 minutes) or Flamingo Land (15 minutes), a zoo crossed with a theme park. And for the active days, perhaps the bike trails and Go Ape park in Dalby Forest (35 minutes), watersports in Scarborough (40 minutes) or sightseeing in York (50 minutes)?
