  • Secluded wild camping with spectacular views of the Yorkshire Wolds
  • A 15-minute drive to Malton; 30 minutes to Flamingo Land
  • Part of an organic working farm with access to footpath and Wolds Way
It may not be as well-known as the Yorkshire Dales or the North York Moors, but those in the know will be aware that the Yorkshire Wolds is an area that’s just as enticing for walks and other outdoor activities (and it’s generally less busy too…) On the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds is Brown Moor Farm, an organic working farm with livestock including sheep and free-range hens. Pitch up at this rural site and you’ll have access to several local footpaths at the bottom of the dale, with a link to the Wolds Way too. There are plenty of cycle routes around if you prefer to tour on two wheels – and some spectacular country views to gaze out at once you’re safely back on site in the evening (with secure lockable cycle storage available on request so your bike can have a rest). The camping field faces south east for some great sunrises and has simple facilities in the form of a toilet block (cleaned daily), waste water facilities and a fresh water supply. Bottled water can be made available on request for a small charge. Pitches have a slight incline and in parts are uneven; they are on grass and chalkland, so you’ll need to wear suitable footwear around the site. They’re dark by night too, so bring along a torch. Dogs are welcome, but are to be kept on leads at all times. Barbecues are permitted but must be raised off the ground (blocks can be supplied on request). There are several pubs within a few miles for drinks and food; more options are up in Malton, 15 minutes’ drive away, along with shops for self-catering supplies.

Jake H.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite

Liked Absolutely unbelievable views, clean, tidy. Great drive to get to the camp site. Would 100% return.

Disliked The walk from the car to the pitch 🤣 if i’m being picky.

The most difficult part, was the ground. It was very rocky and it was only my 2nd time camping, so setting up was quite frustrating. Although the wildlife and scenery made up for this.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite

Liked Absolutely lovely campsite. Just what we wanted. As close to wild camping as you can get with a lovely clean toilet.
The farm is so charming and the animals are wonderful. If you love beautiful views, animals and fresh air you’ll love this place. I fell in love with the pet sheep they were such characters. So many ways to ground yourself and get back to nature.
A real gem!
Great place to escape the modern world. I sat and painted the beautiful hills, great art retreat!

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite

Liked Host was very attentive and knowledgable regarding local area perfect for back to nature camping. Myself and grandson loved the walk through the fell surrounded by the cows and sheep. The occasional cow does enter the camping field however at six in the morning let it be😀

Leanne L.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite

Liked Loved the remote location and views from the camping field. The 'proper' toilet and sink were a nice surprise. Plus tap water is available from a hose next to the toilet for any washing pots etc.

We loved Brown Moor Farm, we were lucky to be only one of two tents staying the night we were there and had a vantage spot over looking a great view. We received a warm welcome and would come back next year.

We were able to bring our own disposable barbecue and bricks were available to stand it on (no extra charges for this unlike some sites who make you pay to use one of their firepits/barbecues!)

Disliked The field where you camp is sloping so you are unlikely to find a flat pitch. There are no showers so it is back to basics (this wasn't a problem for us as we were only staying one night but it's worth flagging up if you want to stay longer!)

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite

Liked Me & my daughter stayed here last night & what a wonderful hidden gem not far from home. We couldn’t fault anything, from a warm welcome on arrival to a beautiful location to spend the night with fantastic views.
The outdoor toilet facilities were lovely and clean and were a nice little luxury to this more wild camping style experience.
We will definitely be returning.

From the manager: Thank you so much for a fantastic review .
Look forward to seeing you again.
