  • Popular and peaceful countryside site a short drive from York
  • On the Way of the Roses 170-mile coast to coast ride
  • Adults-only farm site; dogs and barbecues permitted
Seeking serenity in scenic countryside but get antsy if you’re not close to the bright lights? Hold that thought. City, countryside and a coast to coast cycle route are all features of very popular and very fab Yapham Holds Farmhouse Campsite, which will see sorted those who ditheringly fancy both urban and rural on one break. The farm is nicely rooted in rural North Yorkshire countryside that verges on the Yorkshire Wolds, but is a grand and easy drive into also very fab York (or an even simpler Park and Ride trip to York from the bus station near the farm in Pocklington, which has additional services to Beverly and Hull.) Bring your bike too if poss: Yapham Holds is right on the Way of the Roses 170-mile coast to coast ride from Morecambe to Bridlington and a couple of miles from the six cycle routes weaving around the countryside from the nearby market town of Pocklington. Yapham Holds is popular for its added little touches as well as its location, like flowers and handwash in the spotless loo and shower block and the knowledgeable welcome from hosts Rebecca and Patrick who can advise on all there is to do in the area, from museums to York ghost walks.

What customers say

Brilliant adult-only spot. Immaculate facilities, super friendly owners, and a peaceful vibe. Nice level pitches and useful extras like a microwave. Some found shower pressure low, others wanted recycling, but most loved it and want to come back.

Liked Lovely site in great location and immaculately kept toilet and shower block. Owner’s were really friendly and accommodating.

Disliked Neighbours on plot 4 playing loud music until 11 o’clock at night ( explicit versions ) before retiring to watch tv at an unreasonable volume until 2.30 am. I did ask them to turn the music volume down but got the response of “ it is Friday night”
We had booked for 2 nights but left the following day when the music started again . We had been hoping for for a quiet relaxing weekend as all the other reviews had suggested but were unlucky to encounter these totally inconsiderate other campers who assumed everybody around their pitch would enjoy the same taste in music. The owners did offer a refund which we do not want to accept as it was through no fault of theirs that our trip was spoilt.

Liked Lovely quiet peaceful site (occasional car flying fast on adjacent country road, but the campsite cannot control that) Facilities very modern, clean and more than adequate. Costs for camping pretty reasonable for area. Highly recommend a visit, great base for North Yorks area. Lovely host Becky, very welcoming, friendly and helpful 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Local attractions

Pretty market town Pocklington is well-served with pubs, tearooms, restaurants and gift shops as well as supermarkets, and it's also got a skate park for guests travelling with youngsters or who want to revisit their childhood roots/skinned elbows. More placid but also very impressive pursuits lurk among the lily ponds and lakes of lovely Burnby Hall Gardens just outside Pocklington: the UK’s national collection of hardy water lilies lives here, but kids will likely be more open-mouthed among the giant fish that dwell in the gardens’ two lakes and take food directly from the fingers of awestruck guests. Step into the Stewart Museum afterwards for a look at the collections of former hall owner Major Percy Stewart’s eight grand tours in the early twentieth century – lucky old Major S crossed every continent on his travels and hauled back quite the collection of artefacts, many of which are now on display. North Yorkshire, York and surroundings are top spots for holidaymakers who like historical houses and museums; outside York, award-winning Eden Camp on a former POW camp near Malton tells many tales of World War II, and both Harrogate and Leeds, around an hour’s drive away from Yapham Holds, are crammed with historical highlights. In York, hang out with the Vikings at the Jorvik Centre or take a wander around the National Railway Museum or the Yorkshire Air Museum on Halifax Way, the biggest independent air museum in the country. And surely it’s essential to see York Minster and York Castle Museum too…? Fifteen miles north, eighteenth-century Castle Howard in the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is a right royal day out by bus from York’s Station Avenue or by train from the main station. Towards Hull, dive into another topping attraction at award-winning marine centre and aquarium The Deep at Sammy’s Point, where seven species of shark swim among the thousands of sea critters in the aquarium tanks.
