  • 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 of 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 from the village of Huby – for 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 its historic attractions. Both destinations can be reached by bus 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 at Redwood Park (five minutes’ drive), and plenty of scenic walks in the Howardian Hills National Landscape (20 minutes). You can catch up with fluffy alpacas and impressive birds of prey at nearby animal parks, 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.

Quiet, roomy site with helpful owners, especially Val. Lovely nature & village access. Basic but clean facilities, upgrades planned. Occasional traffic noise & busy washrooms noted. Fire pits to rent.

Cabin

Liked Everything! We love camping but very last minute booked the cabin for an easier get away, and that is absolutely what we had! Not to mention the comfiest bed in the world!
Another added bonus for us was the privacy you get with the cabin which is set away from the camping/caravan area. Val and her husband are great! My little boy loved how lovely they were.
Pleased with the toilets and that they weren’t portaloos. Honestly, cannot fault a single thing. We will definitely be back with family!

Disliked No phone signal which is absolutely not your fault!

Powered grass campsite

Liked Lovely spacious site and Val the owner was so welcoming. Walked round the site several times to say hello and make sure everyone was ok and had everything they needed.

Disliked Not a dislike, but the only downfall was that there was only 2 showers for the whole site to use. However this wouldn’t stop us from returning.

Cabin

Liked Beautiful cabin! Everything was spotless and it was comfortable and spacious inside. We loved the little extras like the fairy lights and it was really handy to have a fridge, kettle and toaster.

The facilities were a very short walk away and they were also kept very clean.

The owner was very helpful and friendly.

Disliked Nothing. Our only thought was that we were aware in advance that there were limited shower and toilets. We would not want to queue if we booked to stay at a busier time, and hope that the extra facilities are installed at some point. As it was fairly quiet while we were staying, we didn't have any issues at all.

Local attractions

With more than 100 residents, the York Bird of Prey Centre (five minutes’ drive) is a top spot to learn about the habits of owls, hawks, eagles and other raptors. In addition to flight displays (where audience participation is encouraged), the centre runs a number of experiences that allow visitors to handle the birds, including walks and photography days. If you’re into dramatic ruins, check out those of Byland Abbey (15 minutes), built in the 12th century and closed by Henry VIII in 1538, after which it fell into decline. The scale of this religious complex is humbling, and there’s also an impressive collection of medieval floor tiles. The Minster in York (20 minutes) is a soaring edifice with remarkable stained-glass windows and far-reaching views from the Central Tower. Stroll along the narrow medieval street known as the Shambles, then head to the National Railway Museum to see vintage locomotives or to the Jorvik Viking Centre to delve into the early history of the city.
