  • A 95-acre woodland site a short drive from the A171
  • Easy access to the stunning Yorkshire coast, moors and Goathland
  • Two-mile nature trail with a pond and modern amenities blocks
You might be relieved this site has 'cross' in its name, as it's near the toothy town of Whitby, famed of course these days for its Goth weekends and those days for being where one Count Dracula leapt ashore to UK soil… But of course Ladycross Plantation Caravan Park has a fair bit more going on for it than that… in fact you could say that the site has a lot of bite…? It's a nifty base from which to flit to the best of North Yorkshire, for one, as it's only 400 yards off the A171 from Teeside to Whitby, and has easy access to the North York Moors National Park and Heartbeat country around Goathlands. And it's set on 95 acres of good-looking woodland, with a two-mile-long nature trail meandering through its trees and past a pond. There's also easy access for caravans and tourers. The on-site pantry shop in the reception area stocks essentials and stacks of leaflets on what to do in the surrounding area (after Whitby, natch). The park also has a book exchange service. Ladycross is run by a family team who have been improving and upgrading the park since taking it over in 2010. Among the features added are two modern and well-maintained toilet and shower blocks with private washrooms and underfloor heating, a waste and water point, and secluded areas for various pitches.

What customers say

This super clean, well-kept woodland spot's a hit for peace, big pitches & brilliant facilities. Great dog walking, secure field & trails. Friendly staff. Most will be back! Near Whitby is a bonus. Slight gripes on shower temps/sensors & weak phone signal.

Adam B.

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch (adults only)

Liked Great location for exploring.
The site was very well kept and the toilets and shower block were immaculate!
Pitches were a good size

Disliked Only gripe was that I couldn’t connect to the WiFi to get some emails or check the maps but that might be my phone but there is WiFi you can pay for.

But this was probably blessing in disguise as I was able to turn off for a few days

Recommend to friends Visit again

Nathan H.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Great quiet, peaceful and well kept site with great woodland walks and a small lake. Great sized pitches with plenty of room for caravan, awning and car.
Staff were very friendly and helpful on our arrival despite us being slightly late due to a breakdown and traffic.

Toilet and shower blocks were immaculate and always kept clean as was the waste disposal and rubbish disposal areas.

Great location with only a 10 minute drive into whitby and not far from other towns.

Plenty to do around the site and good walks all the way round the site through the wooded area with a large community field for kids and dogs to go on.

Disliked Felt like the service points (water/electric) were on the "wrong side" of the pitches as to where a caravan with awning would go but easily solvable with a long hose for aqua roll and long power lead, our power lead was long enough but it was a squeeze with the hose.

Slight communication issues with getting in touch with the site prior to our arrival with emails and phone calls

No phone signal on EE, ID Mobile and Vodafone although this isnt the sites fault and they do offer a wifi service which I think was £15 for 6 days but this occasionally dropped out

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch (adults only)

Liked Friendly & helpful reception, easy to find & good access, shown to our pitch, quiet & peaceful, well cared for site, spotless facilities at all times, good location to tour from, pleasant circular walk around the site.

Disliked The motorhome pitches don't get much sun at all due to it being a woodland site, apart from that it's perfection.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you fro your lovely review and I'm pleased you explored our beautiful woodland.

Just to confirm for any other motorhomers out there, yes we are set in woodland and the motorhome bay is shadier than other areas of the park so please be mindful of this when booking. This was invaluable though when temperatures reached 28 degrees this year but we appreciate those days are far and few between.....well at the moment that is!

kind regards
Lisa
