Woodside Camping

Pop-up eco campsite in North Yorkshire with views of the coast
Three and a half miles from Whitby; Robin Hood's Bay 15 minutes' drive
Milk, eggs, juice and home-baked goods available to buy on site

Woodside Camping is a secluded spot on the edge of a small family-run beef and sheep farm in North Yorkshire. Sitting within the North York Moors National Park, this scenic site has views of the sea and of Whitby Abbey, while the town centre and the beach can easily be reached three and a half miles down the road. The site is shielded from the country lane by mature hedges that are ecologically managed to the benefit of the environment. Sit back, don't make too much noise and you may be lucky enough to spot a buzzard or barn owl soaring overhead. Milk, eggs, juice and home-baked goods available to buy on site, which also has amenities like simple portable toilets. There's a lot on offer just down the road in the historic port of Whitby, where you can follow in the footsteps of Captain Cook, explore the grave of Dracula in St Mary's Churchyard or relax and sun yourself on the beach. The area is also home to some of the UK's finest fish and chips, which you can sample either in Whitby or in any one of the several towns dotted along the coast. Paths and walkways crisscross the whole area and can be followed down to the sea or deep into the moors. There are a number of routes which are directly adjacent to the campsite, or you could walk down to the beach via Mulgrave Woods, spotting the ruins of old Mulgrave Castle along the way. Aislaby, the closest village, is a 20-minute walk away over heathland and has a lovely pub for evening meals, plus a regular bus service into town to save you the hassle of parking in the centre.
