  • Quiet, family-friendly site 10 minutes’ drive from Withernsea
  • Within walking distance of two wildlife-packed nature reserves
  • Aquarium and small zoo a 40-minute drive away in Hull
Calling all walkers and wildlife spotters… fancy pitching up within strolling distance of not one, but two nature reserves? That’s the deal at Garth Farm Caravan and Camping in Hollym, less than 10 minutes’ drive from Withernsea’s coast and 40 minutes from Hull. It's all trees and open fields in the surrounds of this family-run East Yorkshire site, and the pleasing rural views continue at Toffling Hill Reserve (a few minutes’ walk), a place of grassy areas, boundary trees and a shallow pond to explore. Continue your amble for a further 15 minutes to hit the woodland, meadow and open water of Hollym Carrs Reserve, where you should certainly keep an eye out for a variety of birds, mammals and insects while you wander. Supplies can be picked up in nearby Withernsea, which has a couple of supermarkets, or Patrington (a five-minute drive), where it's highly recommended that you head to the local butcher to pick up bits for a barbecue back at base. For those with a no-cooking-on-holiday rule, there’s a local pub serving food and drink, and a coffee shop dishing up homemade cakes and sandwiches at Crossroads Garden Centre; both are around 10 minutes’ walk away. Facilities here are kept on the low-key side to ensure minimal impact on the surrounds, but the basics are covered in the toilet block on site.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked: Lovely countryside stay. Quiet site. Great for dog walking. Facilities were basic but clean. Owner very helpful. You do need a long electric cable ours is 10 meter but needed to be longer for the pitch. Contacted owner who kindly let us move pitch.

Disliked: Two toilets next door to each other. That would be ok when site is quiet but not enough when busy.

Liked: Very quite site, very clean site, good size hard standing pitches

Disliked: Toilets - only two - 1 male 1 female Track into site Signs to site Unable to use normal toilet chemicals No play area

From the manager: Thank you for your comments. The track to the site is a council owned road and therefore is not our responsibility - this is the reason we are unable to have any signs to the site. We have, however, put a sign in the the tree with arrows showing where the site is. We also send a welcome email prior to arrival with pin-point location details and site directions to the site. We have mentioned many, many times on other reviews that our plan is to add more facilities. As a new site it will take time to achieve this and the costs involved are high. While on site there was only yourselves and 3 other families so I am sure that there was no issues with the number of facilities during the time you where here. We ask guest to only dispose of Eco friendly toilet chemicals - this is due to the horrendous chemicals that are in the alternatives - it is damaging to the environment and has to be emptied by a specialist hazardous chemicals company costing thousands of pounds. As you know we do sell this on site for cost and so all guests are able to purchase it if they have not got any. The eco toilet fluid is available in all shops that sell camping equipment so we are not asking for something unusual. Garth Farm Caravan and Camping.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Beautiful, clean and quite small family friendly site 5 minute drive from the beach and shops. Water and electric hookup per pitch Toilet and shower block nice and clean. As previous posts state only two toilets, it didn’t pose a problem during our stay. Family shower room it spacious for showering baby’s. Site lovely and peaceful come evening. No wifi but 4G and signal worked fine Bonus being able to buy fresh eggs for breakfast every morning .!

Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: It was not crowded even during August which we really liked it. There was a nice dog walking path alongside farms around. the toilets and showers were really clean. the water tap next to your pitch was really handy. In the morning you wake up with sounds of nature like cow mooing which was much better than your phone's alarm. Only 5 minutes drive to the beach.

Disliked: There was no WiFi and the Vodafone's signal was not so good there

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked: Beautiful site. Small, family friendly, facilities were small but super clean. Owners were lovely. We got an amzing dark night sky on the first night. Everyone was respectful and the site was immaculate. Absolutely value for money. If you're looking for a party site, this is not the place and we loved it for that. Everyone was quiet by 10pm. Would definitely go back.

Disliked: Only 2 toilets but, again, everyone was respectful and the owners kept it super clean.

Local attractions

Swap the rural scenes for seaside ones with a trip to Withernsea (less than 10 minutes by car). Along with arcades, shops, cafés and, of course, the beach, there’s also a lighthouse here with a museum; energetic visitors can clamber up the 144 steps to the top for pretty views. Anglers should make time for some fishing in Holmpton (less than 10 minutes), which has a couple of public fishing ponds. While you’re in the village, delve into the underground nuclear bunker at the former RAF Holmpton. Watery activities continue at Hornsea Mere, the largest freshwater lake in Yorkshire (40 minutes), with rowing, sailing, boat trips and fishing. It’s a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Protection Area for birds, so it’s a great spot for birdwatching, too. There are more sights to be had on dry land, such as the Elizabethan Burton Constable Hall & Grounds (35 minutes). Day trips to Hull city (40 minutes) come stacked with kid-friendly attractions, including The Deep aquarium (home to more than 3,500 marine creatures) and East Park, a public park with a small zoo and log flume ride.
