  • Rural North Yorkshire site over five acres, with great views
  • A 10-minute drive from Northallerton and North York Moors
  • Communal campfire area and fire baskets on site; pub half a mile away
A bit of quiet countryside chilling out or all sorts of North Yorkshire adventures – Sentry Circle Camping, three miles from Northallerton, is a fine spot for either (or a bit of both
) This rural site has the quite the history behind it – its name comes from the ancient stone circle in one of its fields, and its local village, Brompton, is the agreed location of the Battle of the Standard in 1138 (and also where local militia gathered ahead of the 1303 campaign to retake Scotland). These days it’s a much quieter place, where you shouldn’t find any swords getting in the way of your trip along a footpath to get to its shop and pub half a mile away. If you’ve come here in search of outdoor activities, you should find plenty of those in the North York Moors (10 minutes’ drive) and Yorkshire Dales (25 minutes) national parks – or perhaps on the Coast to Coast Walk, which passes a little under two miles away. Golf, horse riding and fishing are all easily accessed nearby too for a change of rural activity. Back at base, pitches are spread out over five acres of open fields, with plenty of space to run about and play games. Keeping warm later in the day requires a campfire, of course – and you can sort this by either settling down at the communal campfire pit or borrowing individual fire baskets to build your own blaze. Kiln dried logs are available to purchase on site. There is no wifi on site, meaning that guests can leave their emails behind and focus on kicking back and admiring the view.

Liked: Great stay on Saturday 31st August. There was a "Combat Club" event on for the weekend with archery and other things, and despite this it was still a peaceful evening. The view of the sunset from the stones is absolutely spectacular. Facilities were clean and well stocked. Fire pits and wood available for hire/purchase at great prices. Can't wait to come back!

Liked: Lovely relaxed site with a bit of a festival feel. Beautiful scenery and somewhere to go and escape life! Very welcoming owners and particularly enjoyed our evening with the fire pit! Good value for money and a nice little last minute find

Disliked: The facilities were not particularly clean (male rather than female), the shower in the men’s wasn’t great at all. That is the only thing that let down the site though, otherwise a lovely little getaway!

Liked: Atmosphere. Choice of pitch. Derek and all the sentry team. Communal fire and quiz. The sentry stones a spiritual place to think. The kids playing freely around camp.

Disliked: I would have liked a better shower.

Liked: What a lovely laid back place to be! Perfect for a chilled out relaxing stay. The facilities are good with plenty of hot water and clean toilets. The owners are fantastic, welcoming and kind. The stone circle at sunset was the icing on the cake!

Disliked: No dislikes just make sure you bring levelling chocks as the site is on a slope!

Local attractions

Aiming for lots of outdoor activities? Osmotherley (10 minutes’ drive) is a good place to head for – it’s the starting point for lots of trails in the North York Moors National Park, including the Lyke Wake Walk. For other options, there’s a golf course 10 minutes’ drive away, or a bit of angling at Stonebridge Fishing Lakes (20 minutes’ drive) or you can ride out of a horse trekking centre (25 minutes). For more leisurely days, potter around the indie shops in Northallerton (10 minutes), explore the National Trust site at Mount Grace Priory (10 minutes) or head to the stately home Kilpin Hall (20 minutes). The Forbidden Corner (45 minutes) is another fabulous place to visit – the four-acre garden is full of unusual bits and pieces including statues, follies, a huge pyramid and a ‘path to nowhere’. All of this will probably keep you busy for quite some time, but if you need more ideas, it’s worth noting that it’s only a 25-minute drive to the Yorkshire Dales National Park
