  • Peaceful adults-only site 30 minutes' walk from Pickering
  • On the edge of the North York Moors and 30 minutes' drive to the coast
  • 80-acre farm site with riverside walks and stunning views
Holiday parks don't get much calmer than Westgate Carr Farm, an adults-only site a mile and a half outside the North Yorkshire town of Pickering. This spacious farm in the scenic Vale of Pickering is spread over well-kept land that's bordered by trees, a stream and fields (where the beady-eyed may spot both wild and domestic animals). Set halfway along a country lane, this award-winning 81-acre site is a few minutes by car from the edge of the North York Moors National Park, arguably one of the finest rambling spots in England (and it's within walking distance of the town centre too, if you've got any energy left…). The north-east coast at Filey or Scarborough can also be reached with roughly a half-hour drive. Not to be outdone by the scenic local surroundings, Westgate Carr Farm has a fair bit to keep you pottering around base for some of your stay, including a pond and a riverside trail where you're welcome to walk your dog. All kinds of fish and fowl can be spotted in this wildlife haven, so tread softly if you want to be in with a chance of spotting yellowhammers, swifts, kingfishers or trout along the way. It's worth planning to stay up late too, as the dark skies here are prime stargazing territory. The facilities at Westgate Carr Farm are also handy to have as well: there's an outdoor washing-up area, a luxury bathroom block (with toilets, showers, washing-up area and dishwasher), drinking taps, waste disposal points (including a drive-over grey waste drain) and a recycling area.

This immaculately maintained, adult-only site is praised for its peaceful atmosphere, spacious and level pitches, and exceptional cleanliness.

The stunning rural location offers beautiful views and enjoyable walks from the site, with alpacas and wildlife adding to the charm.

Liked Liked everything, lovely warm welcome to a fantastic site. Huge pitches with large space between them, every pitch has its own water tap.
Immaculate, beautiful new facilities kept spotlessly clean and shower drains that drained rather than standing in a puddle.
Definitely going back again.

Jenna C.

FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite (premium)

Liked We had such a lovely stay here in our motorhome. The views from the site are absolutely stunning, and there’s a beautiful little loop walk right from the site that takes you past alpacas and along a stream, such a peaceful way to start or end the day.

The facilities were a real highlight for me, super clean and actually smelled fresh and clean, which I always really appreciate. The recycling setup was also great, which was good to see.

The location is fantastic. We walked into Pickering and loved exploring the local shops, market and the pub with the log fire was just perfect after a day out.

The only slightly nerve-wracking part was the single track road leading to the site, it felt a bit airy-scary on arrival as we weren’t sure where the passing places were. However, I understand this is likely why arrivals are limited to certain times to help manage the flow of traffic, which makes sense.

The owners were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Highly recommend!

Local attractions

Whether you've come here craving the classic seaside buzz of Scarborough (30 minutes' drive) or prefer more low-key jaunts treading the footpaths and beaches around Filey (40 minutes), you'd do well to squeeze in a trip to the coast or two during your stay here. Looking inland, the main highlight of the local area has to be the North York Moors National Park (a few minutes' drive), where you can pedal through the trees of Dalby Forest (20 minutes), conquer the canopy at the nearest Go Ape (20 minutes) or head to Grosmont (30 minutes) for steam train rides and cosy village cafés. Make a point of seeing the Howardian Hills too – especially Castle Howard (30 minutes), its undisputed highlight. For informative days out with just a hint of history, you've got Ryedale Folk Museum (15 minutes), an open-air heritage centre where you can wander around historic buildings and learn about rural life in Yorkshire from the Iron Age to the 50s. Proper medieval buffs, meanwhile, will be pleased to note that this site is within striking distance of York Minster, Clifford’s Tower and St Mary's Abbey (all 50 minutes).
