  • 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.

What customers say

Woodhill Campsite: spacious, well-kept sites in a peaceful rural spot, great for families. Guests rave about friendly owner Liz, clean facilities, and handy vending machines (milk, shakes, hot drinks). Easy access to coast/moors. Minor points: shower pressure varies, limited toilets at peak times.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Loved this site, very spacious pitches, 360° stunning views, clean and safe. The showers are lovely and warm, toilets and showers very clean. Washing up area with hot water.

Some may say it had a noisy road, but I disagree, its hidden away down a country lane on a working farm, the odd tractor passed but it was silent at night. The only notable noise was the sheep, but personally we loved hearing them, it enhanced the experience of being in the countryside and was relaxing.

There's a barn by the entrance with well stocked vending machines, and the crowning glory in there...a machine to purchase to die for milkshakes and farm fresh, ice cold milk.

We 100% will be back. If there exists a perfect camping site, it is this one!

Disliked Nothing to dislike at all, except packing to come home.

If I was to offer any suggestion, it would be a couple of fenced off pitches to the rear of the big field to enable secure dog camping. I would have loved to have brought my dog and whilst she would have been welcome, shes a large breed (Rottweiler) so others may not have felt comfortable with her presence.

Ash bell tent (six person)

Liked Tipi was a great size , site was quiet and peaceful. Loved that the kids could play in the middle of grass.
Toilets and showers basic but clean.
Loved the coffee machine and milkshake machine . Great novelty for the kids.
Felt really rural but not far to Whitby and runswick bay. Will definitely be back

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.
