  • Small family-run campsite on a Ryedale farm in rural North Yorkshire
  • A 40-minute drive to York and 15 to the North York Moors National Park
  • Pop-up pitches on meadows; shops and pubs five minutes’ drive
A stay at Nawton Grange Camping and Caravan Park means you have all the benefits of being surrounded by glorious North Yorkshire countryside to discover, and yet you’re still within striking distance of ancient York (40 minutes’ drive), should you fancy a chance of pace and scenery. A small, family-run campsite on a farm with cattle and horses grazing peacefully in neighbouring fields, Nawton Grange offers camping on level fields surrounded by the forested hills of Ryedale, which takes in the foodie towns of Malton and Pickering and the scenic Howardian Hills. Access to the camping fields is down a driveway off a quiet rural lane, and there is plenty out space around the pitches for kids (and well-behaved dogs) to have a runaround with a ball in safety. If you need to pick up bits for a barbecue back at your tent, you have a massive choice of local produce at Beadlam Grange Farmshop and Tea Room (five minutes’ drive); you can also stroll down to Nawton village (20 minutes’ walk) to a pub offering good food and a takeaway service.

Spacious, level pitches & clean facilities. Friendly owner, great views & location. Kids loved the farm animals. Peaceful, but some dogs caused noise issues.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Our first time camping and was impressed with everything, some of the other campers helped us, as our tent was brand new and struggled, lent us a tent for the night. Location for our trip was perfect, just left early on the Friday to come home as we had planned to stay for the texas bbq but will be back!

Disliked Nothing, site is brilliant and anything that was wrong, no one has any control of wildlife, dogs barking or birds singing

Lisa V.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Nawton Grange Camping and Caravan is very relaxing, welcoming and quite. We had a none electric pitch, loads of room, field was well maintained, flat and clean. Easy check in. Owner was very helpful and friendly.

Shower and Toilet Block Very Clean and also worth mentioning that there is a separate Disabled Shower Room.

Onsite Bar / Smokehouse with amazing food and good selection of drinks. Please check out their FB page for further details on this.
Please try to take cash - cash is king for small businesses. They do appreciate it.

There is a pub about a 20 minute walk. Whitby is 45 - 50 minutes away.

A very good stay and would certainly go back.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Friendly welcome, very child friendly (was with 14, 10 and 3 year old)
Good facilities, warm and powerful showers.
Clean washing up area.
Great location, close to lovely towns and villages and not too far from further away attractions.
Nice open flat field.

Disliked Not owners fault but noise from nearby kennels was pretty constant and affected my sleep every evening and they were also loud during the day.

Liked When we arrived we pretty much had the pitch to ourselves which was nice. By the time we left the field was nearly full (it’s a shall some of the new visitors were abit noisy early hours). The facilities were clean and tidy. Location was nice as it’s a short drive into hemsley. The owner greeted us when we arrived and she was friendly and answered our questions. The kids enjoyed seeing the horses. We didn’t go into the cowshed (bar) so can’t comment on that.

Disliked Unfortunately the noise spoilt the stay a little for us. As stated in other reviews the constant barking of the nearby dogs disturbed our sleep. To top it off the first night we were unluckily enough to have the farmer in the field next door harvesting until about 11pm. There is also something near the facilities (a generator/pump?) making a constant clanking noise. Also had to clear up abit of dog that was near where we pitched up. Wi-Fi was slow and kept dropping out and we were close to the entrance

From the manager: Hi thank you for your feed back
I believe you were the guys that were first time campers.
when your staying in a tent there is no sound proofing so you pretty much here everything so you are going to hear people talking .
Unfortunately you are coming to the countryside and the farmers need to crack on to get the harvest in before the weather breaks so it was just unfortunate that it was the night you stayed with us.
apologies for the dog muck this does happen from time to time maybe the owner did not see there dog do its business which is why we ask for dogs to be on leads at all times .
thanks jenny

As you are a returning customer you are obviously aware that this is not a regular occurrence just unfortunate one of the nights you stayed the hounds were unsettled and noisy. I feel

Local attractions

Outdoor enthusiasts can look forward to fishing (five minutes), walking and cycling in the North York Moors National Park (15 minutes), rock climbing on sandstone crags at Highcliffe Nab (an hour) or sailing at Scaling Dam (40 minutes). Keen gourmets pick up treats in the delis of Malton (25 minutes) – anything from rhubarb-and-custard ice cream to macaroons and locally reared cuts of meat for the barbecue. Other pretty market towns include Helmsley (10 minutes), packed with pubs and indie shops, and Pickering (20 minutes) where you can board a vintage train for chugs across wild moorland to Whitby on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. For a taste of local history, have a wander among the romantic ruins of Rievaulx Abbey, and then see them from above at National Trust - Rievaulx Terrace (both 15 minutes). Castle Howard (20 minutes) has elegant John Vanbrugh-designed rooms fun of priceless furniture to nose around, and of course York (40 minutes) is home to a famous minister, lots of museums and cobbled medieval streets.
