  • Scenic family-run farm site in the North York Moors National Park
  • A 10-minute drive from Runswick Bay; 20 minutes from Whitby
  • Vending machine with pies, sandwiches, cakes and milkshakes
From setting sail from a local harbour and paddling down at the beach to riding steam trains and wandering round abbey ruins, you’ll be able to mix and match your activities around North Yorkshire’s countryside and coastline at Woodhill Camping. This family-run site is part of a working livestock and arable farm in the North York Moors National Park, 10 minutes’ drive away from Runswick Bay and 20 minutes from Whitby. The location here is a real selling point – as well as seaside jaunts, there are lots of lovely walking and cycling routes in the surrounding area. There are gorgeous views of the moors, hills and dales too… and yet it’s only about half a mile from the A171 for a convenient link to nearby attractions. And there's another selling point, in the form of the on-site vending machines. These are not your everyday vending machines, though… these ones can provide you with pies, sandwiches, milkshakes, cakes and fresh milk, plus hot drinks. There are also farm eggs and potatoes for sale (and you can get fizzy drinks and chocolate bars too if you want). Ice creams or seafood specialties on your brain? Well, this site is well positioned for more tasty local produce. Lealholm is five minutes’ drive away, with a café, pub and village shop (and some cute stepping stones) and there are several more pubs within 10 minutes’ drive of the site. Dirty plates after all these eating escapades? There’s a covered washing-up area on site. Other facilities include toilets and showers.

What customers say

Peaceful, spacious site with generous, flat pitches. Good for kids with central play area. Generally clean facilities, popular vending machines. Owner Liz is a gem. Limited showers and occasional wind, but excellent value and a great base.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked The size of the pitches were well above my expectations esp as we were camping as a group so could actually have our tents facing towards each other instead of side by side like other places we’ve camped at .The coffee and vending machine area was a winner too especially when the kids wanted hot chocolate before bed.

Disliked The size of the toilets and only 2 showers available which would be an issue if the site had been much busier

Liked Fantastic site. Pitches are spacious, vending machines a lovely addition, communal fridges incredibly useful, toilets and showers well maintained. Also a great spot for dark skies, away from light pollution and not much traffic on the adjacent road.

Disliked We left the day after arriving due to being moaned at as our children was making noise coming back from the toilet. Our children were excited to be camping with friends and it was ruined by the owner/manager.

This place is mot children friendly/family oriented.

Liked Lovely level field, facilities were spotlessly clean, spacious pitches. Our first time camping on our own and Liz was so lovely and helpful. We had a brilliant time and will be back?

Disliked Nothing about the campsite. First night was spoilt by large group drinking and shouting late into night, but owner dealt with them well and second night was lovely and peaceful!

Disliked Facilities were clean but limited.

Local attractions

To the coast… Runswick Bay (10 minutes' drive) is a good place to start – this cute village has a scenic beach with space for swimming, fishing and crabbing, plus consistent waves for the surfers among you. Sandsend and Staithes are both 15 minutes’ drive away, or it's 20 minutes to Whitby, for the abbey ruins and the 199 Steps, plus boat trips and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. Looking a little further afield, you could head along the coast a bit more to Scarborough (40 minutes) for a waterpark, Sea Life Centre and another steam railway, or turn inland to explore Malton (50 minutes), often described as Yorkshire’s food capital. For family days out, try the likes of Flamingo Land Resort (40 minutes), with a theme park and zoo, or Eden Camp Modern History Museum (50 minutes), bringing the history of World War II to life with exhibits in a former prisoner of war camp.
