  • Paddock pitches behind a Georgian farmhouse in rural North Yorkshire
  • A 10-minute drive to Castle Howard, and 20 minutes to historic York
  • Back-to-basics camping for adults only, 10 minutes' walk from a pub
Elegant, Georgian-era Lilling Hall Farm is in a rural setting surrounded by peaceful North Yorkshire countryside. With just a few pitches on its paddock, this adults-only spot makes a convenient base for nature lovers, walkers and cyclists who like to mix up their holidays with a dollop of history and culture. The level grass camping field has mature trees for shelter, and there are a couple of seating areas in secluded corners of the garden where you can relax on sunny days. The friendly site owners are happy to dole out teas and coffees (and the occasional seasonal fruit or free-range egg) on your arrival, and chat about what you might do during your stay. You may get to watch horses being schooled during your stay (please note, due to the horses, no dogs are allowed on the site) – and thanks to the lack of light pollution in these parts, when clear, the night sky is awash with stars. Thornton-le-Clay village (10 minutes’ walk) has a couple of pubs, and there are many more to be discovered in surrounding villages, where you can rest up after a day’s adventure and enjoy good grub along with Yorkshire bitter. This is a back-to-basics site, albeit one in lovely surroundings, so please be aware that facilities are simple – including toilets, showers, chemical waste disposal and a wifi connection; there is no hot water outside

Liked Quiet little site on a working stables.
The hosts were friendly and welcoming.
The bathroom facilities were great, just as if you were at home.
The site is remote, a good hours walk away from Sheriff Hutton where you will find The Highwayman pub which has good food.
We only had a two night stay, but I’d assume you could find other walks in the area if you were staying for longer. Alternatively it is only a short drive to Castle Howard or into York.

Liked Small rural site beside beautiful old farmhouse on working farm.
Facilities basic but very clean and accessible. Couldn’t fault the hosts who were very welcoming and helpful.
We were lucky enough to be the only visitors staying so had the place to ourselves!
Local pub, 10 min walk away, open for drinks (no food) 6-10 daily.
Well situated for visiting York via park n ride sites (10/15 min drive)
Would recommend, would definitely use again.

Liked Very nice owners. The lady was very chatty & friendly. Both very friendly.
Showers were awesome actually in the house & toilet. Cleaned after each use.
Silence all around absolute heaven. Lots of walks or rides about but I was resting so didn’t do anything active this occasion. Couldn’t suss the bus route out not really accessible but was disappointing but we just used the van & left awning.
Beautiful horses in paddock daily but no noise. Lovely stay & will return.

Disliked Nothing really just the bus stops not being close by after being told they were.

Local attractions

If you’re keen to get into those hiking boots, Strensall Common (five minutes’ drive) has easy walks across heathland, while the North Yorkshire Moors National Park (10 minutes) has a whole host of hiking and cycling opportunities through gorgeous villages, as well as more strenuous routes across scenic moorland. All this wild countryside and yet such easy access to the historic city of York (20 minutes), with walks around its Roman walls, the vast minster to have a look around and indie shops to browse in narrow cobbled streets. Romantic Castle Howard (10 minutes) and its Capability Brown landscapes have plenty to keep you occupied, from rope courses to fascinating tours of the art treasure in the stately main house. You can also pick up the A64 at Flaxton Moor (five minutes) for day trips to legendary east-coast seaside resorts of Scarborough (55 minutes) and Bridlington (an hour), or pick up the North Yorkshire Moors Railway at Pickering (half an hour) and steam your way to Whitby (an hour) across the moors. Closer to home, fishing and golfing options are less than 15 minutes away by car.
