  • Spacious pitches next to an award-winning adventure play attraction
  • Access to the Yorkshire Wolds Way; 25 minutes' drive to Hull
  • Restaurant on site with homemade ice cream and wood-fired pizzas
Heaps of space (52,000 square metres of it, in fact), with easy motorway access, quiet rural surroundings and direct access onto the Yorkshire Wolds Way? All very promising, but the clincher is still to come: pitches at William’s Den are right next door to an award-winning adventure play attraction (and this may well win you many bonus points with the kids…) Just on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds and 10 minutes’ drive from the East Yorkshire town of Brough, this is a place that’s all about fresh air and freedom. Days out don’t come much easier than simply strolling next door where the kids can have the run of the play meadow, the secret woodland and the sand/water play areas, with all sorts of mud kitchens, tyre swings and den building materials to keep them quiet for many an hour. Stays here aren’t all about the kids though – dogs are welcome on the site (as long as they are supervised) and have their own exercise facility to visit next door (this requires an additional fee). Otherwise, there are plenty of dog-friendly walks accessible directly from the site. And all of the family can take advantage of the area’s other attractions, including Tour de Yorkshire bike routes, rambles on the Yorkshire Wolds Way and days of fishing or golf. Something else that should appeal to all ages is the on-site restaurant, open daily for breakfast sandwiches, lunches, wood-fired pizzas and particularly tasty homemade ice cream (take it all back to your pitch in eco-friendly packaging if you prefer). It’s a pick-your-own-pitch setup at this site, and guests will have access to good quality portable toilets, shepherd's hut-style showers, washing-up facilities and a chemical disposal point.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Amazing site! Loved the fact the wardens and manager came and checked on us gave us information went out their way to help with stuff for the kids to keep them entertained hats off and praise to them for being so welcoming, friendly and accommodating. Plenty of room to choose a pitch. Facilities fab the showers were brilliant outdoor camping style was dubious at first thinking they would be cold and could people see in but they were hot, designed perfect to keep privacy and the kids thought they were brilliant. If your afraid of spiders just money spiders size take some sort of repellent as there were hundreds in our tent whether it was where we pitched I don’t know but they def made themselves at home and came in out of the rain lol. We got used to them after a couple of days. The food in Williams den was lovely! The home made clay fire pizzas are a must! We would and will visit again.

Disliked Only thing to let it down was no plugs for the sinks and hot water to wash pots we did however adapt and collect hot water out of the shower to put in the washing sinks so easily resolved.

Great stay

Local attractions

On days when you’re not at the adventure play attraction, pack up a picnic and head off for a walk on the Yorkshire Wolds Way (some of it, anyway – it’s 80 miles long) or a bike ride following some of the routes used for the Tour de Yorkshire race. Somewhat less ambitious strolls can be had at North Cave Wetlands, a mile and a half away. Sicking with the outdoor activities, there’s a golf club and fishing lake within a 10-minute drive, or you could take a little tour of the vines (and a sample of the wines) at Little Wold Vineyard (a mile from the site). Soak up some seaside time too with a day on the beach at Hornsea (35 minutes’ drive) or Bridlington (50 minutes). For some urban time, take yourselves over to Hull (25 minutes) to eyeball the sea creatures at The Deep aquarium, wander around the market town of Beverley (15 minutes) or head to York (45 minutes) for a city packed with history and heritage to explore.
