  • Landscaped site 20 minutes' drive from Pickering, with rural views
  • Well-maintained heated shower/toilet block with makeup area
  • Licensed shop and launderette; caravan spares and gas for sale
The Pickering people have it sorted. The Vale of Pickering Caravan Park is crammed with trees, shrubs and flowerbeds and it has views over the North Yorkshire countryside, plus washrooms you'd want to find anywhere. The heated toilets and showers are immaculate, there are private wash cubicles, an electric point for those all-important hairdryers and hair straighteners, and even a ladies’ makeup area. Best of all, there are ladies’ and gents’ baths – providing a long hot soak after a long hard day relaxing and sightseeing. There are first-class facilities on site too, including a well-stocked licensed shop, a launderette, caravan spares and gas cylinders, a play area and a football pitch for the kids. A pub is about two and a half miles away for food, or you can pick up some fresh local produce at the nearby farmers’ market. Thornton Dale (four miles away) also has two traditional pubs so you won't be short of choice when it comes to satisfying all tastes and tums.

Liked The pitch was very flat and clear of stones. The shower block was warm and very clean. It was very quiet at night and the football field was a bonus for my son.

Jack A.

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked This was an amazing caravan park, the facilities were immaculate and kept clean and tidy. We had requested a pitch near to the facilities if possible and there was no issue with this request and perfect for the play area which our children lived in.
The onsite cafe offered lovely meals using local produce and you could tell the quality. Also loved the fish and chip van coming to site on a Saturday as it gave a variety of choice of meals if you didn’t want to cook.
Staff were all lovely and happy to help when needed.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely be returning here in the future.

Disliked The only thing but not a major thing is the WiFi was poor but this is the norm in most rural sites so appreciate it is hard to get good service

Liked Great site, clean, tidy and well maintained. Staff very friendly and helpful. Great shower block. Good location for sightseeing, we went to Whitby, Scarborough, Pickering and the North Yorkshire Moors railway we also visited York, looking forward to visiting again as we didn't manage to see all that we wanted to.

Disliked Could do with more than 1 hand dryer in the female toilet block.

Local attractions

Trainspotters and sightseers alike will be chuff-chuffed at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway to take visitors on a steam-rollering 18 miles through the moors, with rural villages along the route – Goathland was used as Hogsmeade in the first Harry Potter film and as Aidensfield in ITV’s Heartbeat – and with plenty of opportunities to hop off and go hiking o’er the moors. The North York Moors National Park has walking and cycling routes galore, with other sporty options near the Vale of Pickering taking in tennis, golf, horse-riding, sailing, mountain biking, fishing and watersports at Wykeham Lakes, or cantering at Snainton Riding Centre. Savvy shoppers should sally to the nearby market towns of Pickering and Malton, or head towards York to spend the day at the Monks Cross Shopping Centre two miles from the city centre. And once the wallet is somewhat lighter, other recommended and less expensive days out in the area include taking in the World War II museum at Eden Camp, seeing the historic buildings at the Ryedale Folk Museum, or going to one of the many events at the Baroque mansion Castle Howard. A visit to this neck of the woods wouldn’t be complete without a day at the seaside – visitors can stroll on the sands at fantastic Whitby, flit around Filey, browse through Bridlington or spend days at the country’s first ever seaside resort of Scarborough with its Italian gardens, miniature steam railway, casino, clifftop castle and kid-clamouring for seaside amusements. Kids will also love the nearby theme park and zoo Flamingo Land, making like a monkey on the zip wires at Go Ape! or getting grisly at the York Dungeons after the big folk take in the architecture of York Minster and the history of the Jorvik Centre.
