  • Scenic family-run farm site in the North York Moors National Park
  • A 10-minute drive from Runswick Bay; 20 minutes from Whitby
  • Vending machine with pies, cakes and milkshakes
From setting sail from a local harbour and paddling down at the beach to riding steam trains and wandering round abbey ruins, you’ll be able to mix and match your activities around North Yorkshire’s countryside and coastline at Woodhill Camping. This family-run site is part of a working livestock and arable farm in the North York Moors National Park, 10 minutes’ drive away from Runswick Bay and 20 minutes from Whitby. The location here is a real selling point – as well as seaside jaunts, there are lots of lovely walking and cycling routes in the surrounding area. There are gorgeous views of the moors, hills and dales too… and yet it’s only about half a mile from the A171 for a convenient link to nearby attractions. And there's another selling point, in the form of the on-site vending machines. These are not your everyday vending machines, though… these ones can provide you with pies, milkshakes, cakes and fresh milk, plus hot drinks. There are also farm eggs and potatoes for sale (and you can get fizzy drinks and chocolate bars too if you want). Ice creams or seafood specialties on your brain? Well, this site is well positioned for more tasty local produce. Lealholm is five minutes’ drive away, with a café, pub and village shop (and some cute stepping stones) and there are several more pubs within 10 minutes’ drive of the site. On Friday and Saturday nights from 6pm to 9pm, grab your dinner back on site; takeaway pizzas are available. Dirty plates after all these eating escapades? There’s a covered washing-up area on site. Other facilities include toilets and showers.

Rosi C. 7 reviews

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Site is in a quiet, countryside location with easy access to nearby coast and to Whitby, Goathland (Heartbeat country) and to Guisborough.
Pitches were well allocated and a good size. Facilities excellent value for the price including fridge freezers for storage if required. Toilets and showers were kept clean by the hard working, very welcoming site owner Liz who was often around or contactable by mobile.
Good site for families with space for the children to play.

Disliked Getting stuck in a toilet because the next cubicle door flung open and the handles got stuck preventing the door of mine opening. Being claustrophobic to a degree, I panicked but another camper fortunately heard my shouts for help and rescued me! Not sure what can be done but just want people to be aware if you use the toilet next to the showers and it's windy!

Great site, hope we can return. Would recommend.

Ash bell tent (six person)

Liked Excellent format and a brilliant rural site.

We do have a tent of our own, but for convenience we opted to stay in their pre-erected bell tents. These were perfectly positioned for the kids to play safely in front. A great amount of space in the tent for 2 adults, 3 kids and plenty extra space inside to eat and play.
Dedicated parking alongside the tent.
Super easy process to check in.

The toilets and showers were nearby with vending machines too.

We appreciated the secure gate at the entrance for peace of mind.


We would absolutely return here again, either in the bell tents or our own tent again.

Disliked On a couple of occasions the toilet roll were not topped up, but you always had another toilet available to use. This is a very minor issue.

There was black dog hair across the floor of the tent; we just swept again. This is again minor so didnt feel the need to mention but just to be mindful if anyone did have allergies.

These are such minor issues, I still would absolutely go to this campsite again!

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Woodhill is small, basic, very well organised farm campsite on N.Yorkshire moors. It felt safe for children to run around. Places of interest on doorstep.
Milkshake dispenser, coffee machine, visiting hens, surrounded by farmland and the moors.

Disliked All was good.

Local attractions

To the coast… Runswick Bay (10 minutes' drive) is a good place to start – this cute village has a scenic beach with space for swimming, fishing and crabbing, plus consistent waves for the surfers among you. Sandsend and Staithes are both 15 minutes’ drive away, or it's 20 minutes to Whitby, for the abbey ruins and the 199 Steps, plus boat trips and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. Looking a little further afield, you could head along the coast a bit more to Scarborough (40 minutes) for a waterpark, Sea Life Centre and another steam railway, or turn inland to explore Malton (50 minutes), often described as Yorkshire’s food capital. For family days out, try the likes of Flamingo Land Resort (40 minutes), with a theme park and zoo, or Eden Camp Modern History Museum (50 minutes), bringing the history of World War II to life with exhibits in a former prisoner of war camp.
