  • Small rural East Yorkshire site in the hamlet of Great Hatfield
  • Three miles from the coast at Hornsea; Hull 25 minutes' drive
  • Next to the Trans Pennine Trail for walking and cycling
Heading to Hull, hitting the beach in Hornsea or taking on the Trans Pennine Trail? Whatever it is that brings you to this part of the country, Tower Hill Caravan and Camping makes an excellent base for an East Yorkshire break. This well-kept and peaceful rural site is in the hamlet of Great Hatfield, about three miles from the coast and the seaside town of Hornsea. It’s also got the Trans Pennine Trail passing very close by, so makes a handy place to bed down for a night or two at the start of your walk or bike ride. Tower Hill is a small site but it’s big enough to house a good collection of useful facilities, including a launderette, a washing-up area and toilet/shower facilities. It’s also got a wifi service that comes in particularly handy for planning days out or checking your walking/cycle routes. You’ll be allowed to bring along a barbecue to cook your meals here as long as it’s kept off the ground (no campfires though, please, for safety reasons). If you’d like someone else to do the cooking you may like to walk along the trail to the nearest pub, about 45 minutes away, or into Hornsea, an hour away, for pubs, cafés or a fish and chip supper on the beach. Hornsea’s also your nearest place for shops, and has various attractions including Bugtopia Zoo and boating on Hornsea Mere. Hull is about 25 minutes’ drive away for The Deep aquarium and the Streetlife Museum.

What customers say

Developing campsite, loved for its peaceful spot, spacious & clean facilities, great showers, and handy kitchen. Guests rave about the quiet vibe and views. Some suggest better signs, occasional toilet tidying, and more kid stuff. Good value, many keen to revisit.

Tracey M.

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Very nice location

Disliked Owner never got back to me over the showers being locked, just opened them the next day without notice

When we got there on the Thursday there was rubbish dumped near the fence including dirty nappies, sleeping bags etc etc. still there when we left on Sunday.

Children running amok in the toilet/showers, playing with the microwave and washing machine in the kitchen area

Electric cut out on the camping side, rang owners to be told they were shopping on kingswood. So my husband went out and sorted it.

This could be a beautiful site, it just needs a little TLC.

Whilst there we never saw the owner once, not even to ensure the electric was back on

Would we go back …… NO

Sobana Z.

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Nothing but the misleading photos that lured us in. The reality was a complete disappointment.

Disliked The price is absolutely extortionate for what you get. The entrance looks like a set from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, littered with rubbish and car parts.
The facilities are a safety hazard: one shower floor is collapsing, doors don’t lock, and the lights didn't even work in the shower block. Pitching was nearly impossible due to the stony ground, and there is zero security on-site. To top it off, the owners are unreachable and never answer their phones. It is a complete rip-off—save your money and go elsewhere.

Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site

Liked There was a kettle, microwave and toaster.

Disliked Entrance to the site not appealing looks like a gypsy camp, no light in one shower, floor not level in the other, nothing to put your clothes on or sit on, no squidgy to clean shower after use, no hairdryer, not cleaned all weekend until everyone leaving site rather than wait till 10am when you need to be off. Everyone walking between mine and my sisters caravan to shower block. Dogs and kids screaming and barking at 7.30am. No cycle route nearby, no footpaths to walk into Hornsea, no shops or pubs, WiFi didn’t work either of them, overpriced for a developing site!

Clare W.

Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site

Liked Brand new toaster, kettle, microwave, washer and dryer in kitchen area that would be useful for campers.

Clean toilet cubicles

Level concrete pads

Pitches clean and grass mown

Disliked Choice of 2 showers - one with a broken lock where people walked in on you while you were showering or one with a rotten floor and a big hole that was a health hazard (see photo). Dirty shower curtains and rusty curtain poles. In the disabled/baby changing room the light was rusty and didn’t work.

No hot water in kitchen/pot washing area

Overflowing refuse bin with bin bags on the ground that had been ransacked by local wildlife

Carole E.

Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site

Liked Tower Hill Caravan & Camping Park ⛺️

Hmm… this one’s a bit of a mixed bag 🤔

On the plus side, the pitch itself was decent — good hardstanding with water, electric and waste, which is always a win when you’re in the van 👍

BUT… for the price, it just didn’t feel worth it.

Showers were £1 for 30 minutes… who on earth is in there that long?! 😂 We didn’t bother in the end as they weren’t the cleanest we’ve come across anyway.

There is a washer and dryer which is always a bonus for me (vanlife reality 😅), but again £1 for 30 minutes — and if you’ve got both running, you can almost see your electric disappearing before your eyes.

Then to top it off, our last night wasn’t great. Group of teenagers/young adults in a tent shouting, screaming and carrying on until about 2:30am 🙄 Not exactly the peaceful night you hope for when you’re parked up.

All in all… decent pitch setup, but between the cost, facilities and the noise, it’s not somewhere we’d rush back to.

Disliked As above

Local attractions

Hornsea is likely to be your first port of call – you can drive there in about five minutes, walk in 45 or cycle in 20. There’s a lovely sandy beach up here, with plenty of places to pick up fish and chips or ice creams, and several other attractions including Bugtopia Zoo, Honeysuckle Farm and boating on Hornsea Mere. The town is also home to a leisure centre with a swimming pool, and an outlet shopping village. For a wilder stretch of coast, head over to Mappleton beach (five minutes’ drive), or pack your binoculars and make your way to Flamborough Head (45 minutes) to look out for seabirds. To see marine life instead, head into Hull (25 minutes) for a day at The Deep aquarium (the free Streetlife Museum, home to all sorts of old vehicles, is well worth a visit too while you’re there…) Other places to visit in the area include Burton Constable Hall & Grounds (10 minutes) and the lovely town of Beverley (25 minutes), which is full of independent shops.
