  • Well-maintained site in scenic Yorkshire countryside
  • A five-minute drive from local village; 35 to Scarborough; 45 to York
  • Within 20 minutes' drive of the North York Moors; playground on site
‘The course of true love never did run smooth, but breaks at Midsummer Caravan and Camping do’ … is what Shakespeare probably would have said if he’d ever stayed at this site five minutes’ drive from pretty Yorkshire village Thornton-le-Dale and 10 minutes from Malton. This is camping at its most peaceful. Not only is the site in scenic countryside, but it is also has a children's playground and lots of open green space. Low noise rules apply between 10.30pm and 8am to make sure that staying here is a pleasant experience for all. Dog parents can certainly bring their furry kid along for the trip (although no more than one dog is allowed per pitch), and there’s a large field alongside the River Syme for walkies if cabin fever sets in. If riverside strolls don’t quite cut it, the site’s well placed for longer jaunts: there are a handful of signposted circular walks of varying lengths around Thornton-le-Dale, and North York Moors National Park is less than 20 minutes away for lengthier and more challenging hikes, as well as cycle trails, horse riding and gliding.

Liked: Lovely site, the people who own it are new to it they said but we're very helpful. Nice small site, with very clean showers and toilets. Brand new pot washing area and park. Located 5 minute drive away from a lovely little village.

Fully-serviced grass caravan site

Liked: Immaculate site, with fully serviced pitches. Maintained to the highest standard. Alison was very welcoming and informative. Even lent me a water pump for our stay as ours had failed! Large dog walking area, pitch and putt all included. The toilet block is closed as stated but this did not deter from a fabulous long weekend at Midsummer, highly recommend

Disliked: The fact we had to go home!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review. I was great to meet you and enjoyed our chats. Hope to see you again soon.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: Absolutely loved the campsite and Alison who runs it, lots of nice places to visit and the campsite was kept immaculately.

Disliked: The only downside was the showers and toilets were out of order during our stay but didn’t affect us as we took our own shower tent and toilet.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review and the pictures. Lovely to meet you both and glad you enjoyed your stay. The toilets and showers were just a decision I had to make in the unforeseen circumstances.

Local attractions

What’s a holiday without sea, sand and (hopefully) sun? Luckily, no one has to find out here: the site’s 35 minutes’ drive from sandy stretches at the seaside resort towns of Scarborough and Whitby, so be sure to pack bucket, spade and (for the brave) a swimming cossie for when beach days beckon. There’s more to both than splashing about too. History buffs may be drawn to Whitby, where Bram Stoker was inspired to create some of Dracula’s integral scenes and where the stunning Whitby Abbey sits, waiting to be explored. Down the coast, Scarborough has a castle, museums, golf courses and gardens, as well as the Scarborough Fair Collection of showman’s engines. For more vintage vibes, time stays to coincide with the monthly Mattewsons Classic Car Auction (check dates before travelling), then spend the rest of your break touring stately homes: Scampston Hall and Gardens is 15 minutes away, Burton Agnes Hall and Sewerby Hall and Gardens are both within 50 minutes, and the stunningly cinematic Castle Howard is just 20 minutes from the site. As there are no kids to take care of, you can feel free to spend a few hours touring the Great Yorkshire Brewery (20 minutes' drive) and the Spirit of Yorkshire single-malt whisky distillery (40 minutes) – and picking up a tipple for later – before heading into York (45 minutes) for a night on the town.
