  • 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.

Liked Lovely quiet peaceful site. Val is lovely and very accomodating even when we turned up a week early!! Shower and toilet block basic but clean. Village is within walking distance (different routes you can do).
Will definitely be back.

Disliked Nothing to dislike although a washing up area would have been good.

Holly-Anne M.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Fantastic stay. The field was so spacious, my little girl absolutely loved running around and playing football. The owner, Val, was lovely and would come check everything was okay and have a nice chat. The amenities were clean. Everyone we spoke to who was staying there was really friendly as well so the site obviously attracts the right kind of people. Horses right next to the field were lovely to watch. Stars at night were so bright as well thanks to the location. Really great stay, we can't wait to go back again!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Holly glad you both enjoyed looking forward to seeing you again and thankyou for the fantastic review .Val and John x

Would stay here again if visiting York and surrounding area.

Liked The field was flat and electric hookups were available all over. The toilet and shower block were great.

Val was very nice and advised us on walks and what buses to get into town.

Disliked Area to clean dishes would be helpful although there is great drinking water.
