General
- Nearly wild site just outside the Castle Howard estate
- A 20-minute drive from Flamingo Land; half an hour from historic York
- Set in the Howardian Hills; within walking distance of a shop and café
Settling on a spot to pitch up in is all a matter of taste. Into self-sustained bivouacking? A wilder site's in order. Want to be close to creature comforts? Perhaps a well-equipped park's better instead. Can't decide? Worry not – the setup at Castle Howard Wild Side Camping is pretty sure to keep both sides happy, as this peaceful spot is low on frills but close to one of North Yorkshire's grandest country estates.
A little bit rugged and a little bit regal, Castle Howard Wild Side Camping is a win-win solution for groups looking to strike the right balance between comfort and immersion in nature. Facilities have been kept to a minimum, leaving more space for splendid country vistas, but basics like portaloos and running water are available. Large families are welcome here, as are biker folk and polite pups.
Fancy a bit of outdoor cooking? Send someone out to the local farm shop (20 minutes) in search of supplies and light up a barbecue. A top-rated café is also on hand about a 10-minute walk away.
The site's a few minutes' walk from Castle Howard's Great Lake, a princely pond designed for pleasurable days of fishing (which, alongside waterside strolls, are very much on the cards here). For a proper festival experience, make tracks to this site for one of Castle Howard's high-season concert weekends.

Local attractions
Families looking for kid-friendly jaunts in this part of the world may want to whisk their flock away to Flamingo Land Theme Park and Zoo (20 minutes' drive), a Yorkshire staple that's home to white-knuckle coasters and exotic animals (as well as gentler rides for the tiddlers). Other perks of the place include the monorail and cable car that help guests glide through the sky from ride to ride…
If all that kooky transport's got you in the mood for more wheels and whistles, make tracks for the National Railway Museum in York (30 minutes). This unparalleled collection of locos houses iconic trains like the Mallard and Flying Scotsman.
Hear that? It's the call of the sea, and it's telling you to visit Yorkshire's splendidly scenic east coast. Why? Because these beaches, coves and cliffs are some of the most varied and visit-worthy in all the British Isles, whether you opt for fish and chips on Filey promenade (45 minutes), wild walks along the Flamborough Headland Heritage Coast (an hour) or the hodgepodge streets and brightly-coloured cottages of Staithes (an hour).
