  • A 95-acre woodland site a short drive from the A171
  • Easy access to the stunning Yorkshire coast, moors and Goathland
  • Two-mile nature trail with a pond and modern amenities blocks
You might be relieved this site has 'cross' in its name, as it's near the toothy town of Whitby, famed of course these days for its Goth weekends and those days for being where one Count Dracula leapt ashore to UK soil… But of course Ladycross Plantation Caravan Park has a fair bit more going on for it than that… in fact you could say that the site has a lot of bite…? It's a nifty base from which to flit to the best of North Yorkshire, for one, as it's only 400 yards off the A171 from Teeside to Whitby, and has easy access to the North York Moors National Park and Heartbeat country around Goathlands. And it's set on 95 acres of good-looking woodland, with a two-mile-long nature trail meandering through its trees and past a pond. There's also easy access for caravans and tourers. The on-site pantry shop in the reception area stocks essentials and stacks of leaflets on what to do in the surrounding area (after Whitby, natch). The park also has a book exchange service. Ladycross is run by a family team who have been improving and upgrading the park since taking it over in 2010. Among the features added are two modern and well-maintained toilet and shower blocks with private washrooms and underfloor heating, a waste and water point, and secluded areas for various pitches.

What customers say

A peaceful, spotless woodland spot with roomy, level pitches and great amenities. Staff are praised for being friendly and helpful. Beautiful surroundings and a fantastic dog field are highlights. Well-situated for exploring. Minor Wi-Fi issues and variable shower temps noted by some. Perfect for a quiet getaway.

Liked We were very impressed with the site.
Received a warm welcome. The whole site was very well organised and spotlessly clean.
We bought the optional Wi-Fi which worked well (£8.00 for three days).
Would definitely return.

Liked Clean shower block

Disliked We booked here for a few days (came back a day early). Nothing at all for kids to do, no phone signal, no Internet, i did end up paying for the Internet but again waste of money as i dint work. Shop was never open, so many rules. They had a ban on bbqs because of the dry weather other week but it has rained for 4 days and still wont let you use a cadac. we wont ever come back.

Local attractions

Among the many fab things to see and do are Whitby Abbey (Dracula!), the castle, the oldness of its port town, the Captain Cook Memorial Museum and fish and chips at the Magpie. And the Whitby Gothic Weekend, and the Bram Stoker Film Festival, and the annual Whitby Regatta… Around the region are many other famed things to see and do, like fishing and fossil hunting at Robin Hood's Bay, hiking the Cleveland Way, basking on Yorkshire's beaches, or taking the Coastliner bus to other seaside spots like Scarborough and Bridlington. Inland, have a wander around the North York Moors National Park, Dalby Forest, teeny Yorkshire villages or shopping towns like Pickering and Malton.
