  • Simple, well-kept North Yorkshire site under a mile from Huby
  • A 20-minute drive to York or the Howardian Hills
  • Dogs and kids welcome; good bus services from the village
If you like the idea of a rural break but also value the convenience of having village facilities within a couple minutes' drive, find yourself a space at Fox Covert. This North Yorkshire site is in a proper countryside spot surrounded by green farmland, and it's just a mile away from the village of Huby when you feel the need for a shop, or want to visit a pub (with food), a Chinese takeaway or a fish and chip shop. The village is a handy hub for various things, but it's not the only urban option around here – the market town of Easingwold is about 10 minutes' drive away for more pubs, shops and places to eat (plus a twice-weekly market) and it will take you about 20 minutes to get to York to visit all its fantastic historic attractions. Both of these are served by buses from the village. If it's all about the rural activities for you, you’ll also be well served here – there’s fishing just up the road, and plenty of scenic walks a 20-minute drive away in the Howardian Hills National Landscape. You can catch up with fluffy alpacas and impressive birds of prey at nearby animal attractions or seek out historic attractions from Roman sites to grand stately homes. Back at base, it's a laidback setup with simple and well-maintained facilities in the form of a couple of toilets and showers, plus plenty of space for kids and dogs to run around.

Leah H.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Lovely and friendly host (Val), loads of space, toilet and shower facilities were basic but clean and well kept, lots of walks roundabout, excellent value for money and dog friendly.

Disliked Not the campsite's fault but was hard to get a meal in the village for Mon/Tues, so car required to travel further afield for food. Worth bearing in mind.

Recommend to friends Visit again
