  • Simple, well-kept North Yorkshire site under a mile from Huby
  • A 20-minute drive to York or the Howardian Hills
  • Dogs and kids welcome; good bus services from the village
If you like the idea of a rural break but also value the convenience of having village facilities within a couple of minutes’ drive, find yourself a space at Fox Covert. This North Yorkshire site is in a proper countryside spot surrounded by green farmland, and it’s just a mile from the village of Huby – for when you feel the need for a shop, or want to visit a pub (with food), a Chinese takeaway or a fish and chip shop. The village is a handy hub for various things, but it’s not the only urban option around here: the market town of Easingwold is about 10 minutes’ drive away (for more pubs, shops and places to eat, plus a twice-weekly market), and it will take you about 20 minutes to get to York to visit its historic attractions. Both destinations can be reached by bus from the village. If it’s all about the rural activities for you, you’ll also be well served here: there’s fishing just up the road at Redwood Park (five minutes’ drive), and plenty of scenic walks in the Howardian Hills National Landscape (20 minutes). You can catch up with fluffy alpacas and impressive birds of prey at nearby animal parks, or seek out historic attractions – from Roman sites, to grand stately homes. Back at base, it’s a laidback setup with simple and well-maintained facilities in the form of a couple of toilets and showers, plus plenty of space for kids and dogs to run around.

A peaceful, spacious spot with a friendly host, Val. Close to York and pubs. Facilities are clean but basic, with plans to upgrade. Dog-friendly and beautiful surroundings.

Liked Super. Owners friendly and very helpful and it was an easy walk to the lovely local pub.

Would recommend looking at the WC facilities (shelves, hooks, table in toilets) as nowhere to place things when just having a wash etc, but no deal breaker, just make it easier.
Would defo go back.

Liked The view

Disliked The lack of drying equipment In toilets the lack of utilities for washing in the shower blocks the lack of pot wash the showers closing at 8pm until 8am and the fact visitors get charged but have to leave by 6

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: hi i am sorry you did not enjoy visitors have to be off at 6 00 we need to know when they are on for our insurance . this is a BASIC site it tells you on our page . our showers are open after 8 00 majority of the time and you can get the key off us , the reason we started closing them was because we had trouble with children causing damage late at night. it tells you on our site info we have no washing up facilities , we are in the prossess of getting planing for a new block .

Powered grass site

Liked Great for kids to run around and enjoy themselves. Toilets and shower block kept very clean and always stocked up with loo roll. Bins emptied regularly and Val was very helpful and friendly. A family member was staying in the huts and they were great will definitely try these for a night next time.

Disliked Road is a little noisy beside the camp sometimes but this didn’t stop us from getting a good night sleeps.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Jasmine im so glad you and the kids enjoyed, sorry about the road there is a couple of idiots on it , ask to be away from it when you next visit , was nice meeting you . Val and John x

Liked Nice and quiet site, lovely pub walking distance (15min walk) dogs friendly with great food and craft beer (Salt, Northern Monk..). 15min walk to bus station which can take you to York. Small shop in village. Basic but clean facilities, friendly staff. Fire pit for free to rent and wood £5. Definitely recommended

Unpowered grass site

Liked Val and the family were wonderful, super friendly and couldn't do more for you. The site itself is basic but it immaculately clean and well-maintained

Disliked Not a dislike at all but more of a suggestion. I feel like the booking/location information would benefit from a what3words (or something to that effect). The postcode for the site took us to the correct road via sat-nav but we were still about 5 minutes away and had to call ahead for directions.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: hi sorry about sat nav try putting in sand lane its the road at the bottom of us hope that helps next time . its a nightmare .glad you enjoyed Val and John x

Cabin

Liked Everything! We love camping but very last minute booked the cabin for an easier get away, and that is absolutely what we had! Not to mention the comfiest bed in the world!
Another added bonus for us was the privacy you get with the cabin which is set away from the camping/caravan area. Val and her husband are great! My little boy loved how lovely they were.
Pleased with the toilets and that they weren’t portaloos. Honestly, cannot fault a single thing. We will definitely be back with family!

Disliked No phone signal which is absolutely not your fault!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thankyou so much , i am so so glad you enjoyed, it was loverly meeting you all and i am so glad Isaiah enjoyed it , thankyou for leaving it very tidy and beds stripped ,hope to you soon ,Val and John xx

Local attractions

With more than 100 residents, the York Bird of Prey Centre (five minutes’ drive) is a top spot to learn about the habits of owls, hawks, eagles and other raptors. In addition to flight displays (where audience participation is encouraged), the centre runs a number of experiences that allow visitors to handle the birds, including walks and photography days. If you’re into dramatic ruins, check out those of Byland Abbey (15 minutes), built in the 12th century and closed by Henry VIII in 1538, after which it fell into decline. The scale of this religious complex is humbling, and there’s also an impressive collection of medieval floor tiles. The Minster in York (20 minutes) is a soaring edifice with remarkable stained-glass windows and far-reaching views from the Central Tower. Stroll along the narrow medieval street known as the Shambles, then head to the National Railway Museum to see vintage locomotives or to the Jorvik Viking Centre to delve into the early history of the city.
