  • Landscaped site 20 minutes' drive from Pickering, with rural views
  • Well-maintained heated shower/toilet block with makeup area
  • Licensed shop and launderette; caravan spares and gas for sale
The Pickering people have it sorted. The Vale of Pickering Caravan Park is crammed with trees, shrubs and flowerbeds and it has views over the North Yorkshire countryside, plus washrooms you'd want to find anywhere. The heated toilets and showers are immaculate, there are private wash cubicles, an electric point for those all-important hairdryers and hair straighteners, and even a ladies’ makeup area. Best of all, there are ladies’ and gents’ baths – providing a long hot soak after a long hard day relaxing and sightseeing. There are first-class facilities on site too, including a well-stocked licensed shop, a launderette, caravan spares and gas cylinders, a play area and a football pitch for the kids. A pub is about two and a half miles away for food, or you can pick up some fresh local produce at the nearby farmers’ market. Thornton Dale (four miles away) also has two traditional pubs so you won't be short of choice when it comes to satisfying all tastes and tums.

What customers say

This exceptionally clean, well-kept site boasts outstanding facilities, especially showers and washrooms. Staff are consistently praised for friendliness and helpfulness. Spacious pitches, a great location for sightseeing, and the on-site cafe are also highlights. Generally peaceful, though some note child noise. Minor Wi-Fi issues and limited cafe hours were mentioned, but overall, guests highly recommend and plan to return.

Liked Good facilities, park is great, cafe was great. Pitches are set out well.

Would stay again on a different pitch.

Disliked Our pitch was close to the park and as it doesn’t close until 10 there was a lot of screaming from the kids later into the night.

Other than this, wouldn’t fault it.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely site. Brilliant for young families. Wasps all around the area not just the camp site so arm yourselves with citronella candle. Pizzas on Friday nights are very good value. All amenities are excellent and immaculate. The shop and cafe are very reasonable, the staff are great. Location is brilliant if you want a quiet base, flqmingo land is 15mins, scarborough is 17miles and YouK is 30 mins We are definitely going back.

Disliked Wasps but can hardly blame them for that.

Liked Toller sauberer Stellplatz.
Wir waren mit dem Dachzelt auf der großen Wiese. Aber auch die befestigten Caravan Stellplätze sahen gut aus.
Toiletten und Duschen waren modern und sauber.
Freundliche und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter.

Disliked Wifi Signal nur um Eingangsgebäude gut.

Local attractions

Trainspotters and sightseers alike will be chuff-chuffed at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway to take visitors on a steam-rollering 18 miles through the moors, with rural villages along the route – Goathland was used as Hogsmeade in the first Harry Potter film and as Aidensfield in ITV’s Heartbeat – and with plenty of opportunities to hop off and go hiking o’er the moors. The North York Moors National Park has walking and cycling routes galore, with other sporty options near the Vale of Pickering taking in tennis, golf, horse-riding, sailing, mountain biking, fishing and watersports at Wykeham Lakes, or cantering at Snainton Riding Centre. Savvy shoppers should sally to the nearby market towns of Pickering and Malton, or head towards York to spend the day at the Monks Cross Shopping Centre two miles from the city centre. And once the wallet is somewhat lighter, other recommended and less expensive days out in the area include taking in the World War II museum at Eden Camp, seeing the historic buildings at the Ryedale Folk Museum, or going to one of the many events at the Baroque mansion Castle Howard. A visit to this neck of the woods wouldn’t be complete without a day at the seaside – visitors can stroll on the sands at fantastic Whitby, flit around Filey, browse through Bridlington or spend days at the country’s first ever seaside resort of Scarborough with its Italian gardens, miniature steam railway, casino, clifftop castle and kid-clamouring for seaside amusements. Kids will also love the nearby theme park and zoo Flamingo Land, making like a monkey on the zip wires at Go Ape! or getting grisly at the York Dungeons after the big folk take in the architecture of York Minster and the history of the Jorvik Centre.
