  • Peaceful adults-only site 30 minutes' walk from Pickering
  • On the edge of the North York Moors and 30 minutes' drive to the coast
  • On-site service and repair centre; 80-acre farm with riverside walks
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, an immaculate 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. A service and repair centre for caravans and motorhomes is also on site.

What customers say

This adult-only site is praised for its spotless cleanliness, spacious pitches, and peaceful atmosphere. Guests highlight friendly owners, beautiful surroundings, and great dog walking. Facilities are immaculate. Pleasant walk to Pickering; alpacas add charm. Shower duration/access road in wet conditions are minor points.

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite (no awning)

Liked Nice clean quiet site

Disliked Dog waste bin overflowing

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your 10/10 review
However, we note your rather interesting choice of words relating to our dog waste bins 😫
Maybe “overflowing” has a different meaning in Norfolk…
In sunny North Yorkshire we would describe them as “nearly full”
To ensure we don’t unnecessarily burden the local landfill site with plastic bin bags we only empty the bins when they are full and they are checked twice daily on our walk round.
This morning (Monday) we emptied them as they were both full and quite clearly it was impossible for them to “overflowing” 2 days earlier when you left early Saturday morning 😀😫
We always encourage guests to discuss/alert us to any issue they consider needs attention but of course you didn’t raise any issue.
I have also checked the wi-fi speed at your pitch (24) this morning and 26mbs is more than acceptable, especially given its free!

We were greeted on arrival and…

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite (no awning)

Liked Peaceful, quiet adult only site. Pitches spacious with hedging in-between plots for privacy. Facilities are modern and clean, fantastic self contained shower rooms with toilet and sink. Free showers, not coined operated anymore. Good dog walk around site taking you along a Beck, lots of wildlife, we saw swans, hares and owls on the same evening walk. Great site, will definitely come back.

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).
