  • Yorkshire Wolds site in the old walled gardens of Thorpe Hall
  • A 15-minute drive from Bridlington and 35 minutes from Scarborough
  • Coarse fishing pond and five-acre playing field
Set within the old kitchen garden walls of a country estate, Thorpe Hall Caravan and Camping Site is a quiet, peaceful and sheltered location to relax and unwind. The family-friendly (and dog-friendly) site is less than a mile from the small Yorkshire village of Rudston. Bring kit for a day at the coarse fishing pond or gather chums for games on the five-acre playing field (ideally cricket, in keeping with your traditional English surrounds, but anything goes really…). If you're after things to do locally, then a quick explore of Rudston (including a stop at the Rudston Monolith, the tallest standing stone in the United Kingdom) should top the list, before driving off to the coast at Bridlington,15 minutes away, for sandy beaches and sea-view strolls. And so to your digs… in the estate’s pretty walled garden, with plenty of space and shelter and access to a smart heated bathroom block that’s got disabled access and hot water available all day and all night. The small shop sells essentials such as milk and bread (and is a handy fount of local information too), and supermarkets in Bridlington are handily close by for all your barbecue bits.

What customers say

This spotless, well-kept campsite gets rave reviews for its friendly staff, generous sites, and top-notch restrooms. Nestled in a walled garden, it's a peaceful spot for exploring the coast. Some guests noted occasional road noise and spotty WiFi. Highly recommended, with many planning return trips.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Really lovely set up. Well maintained and clean. Despite having only a few empty pitches it never felt busy.

Disliked The pitch was on a slope but I still slept very well in my tent.

Liked The facilities were very good and clean. The whole campsite is walled, the management team were very welcoming and helpful.

Disliked The fising pond is a good 10-15 minutes walk from the site, you'll need a barrow.

Liked Beautiful walled site with mainly grass pitches although there are a few hardstanding available. Fresh water taps and waste water disposal points are plentiful and easily accessible. Toilet/shower facilities were spotless. The site has a small shop selling the basics. Wardens very friendly.

Disliked Nothing really.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your review and rating Paul. We're delighted you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to welcome you back again in the future.
Just to note for anyone reading this: The hard standing pitches aren't bookable as are not touring pitches.

Regarding TV signal - we do mention in correspondence that there are TV points and that guests need a coax cable to plug in 9usually pick up 60+ channels). However, on occasion atmospherics can unfortunately interrupt the signal. Sorry you experienced a poor signal on your visit.

Local attractions

Can’t get enough of these grand stately homes? There are plenty more options nearby to swan around in… Burton Agnes Hall is a 10-minute drive from base, Sewerby Hall and Sledmere Estate are within 20 minutes, and Burton Constable Hall (and its Capability Brown-designed grounds) is 45 minutes away. Perhaps the most famed, though, is the exquisite Castle Howard (45 minutes) – it’s starred on TV several times, playing the role of Brideshead (in Brideshead Revisited, twice) and Kensington Palace (in Victoria). Steer away from the country piles with a trip to York, a little over an hour away, to meet vikings at the Jorvik Viking Centre, cruise along the river or take a sweet trip into the past at York’s Chocolate Story. Or perhaps head to Hull (50 minutes) for more museum action and sealife encounters with more than 3,500 fish that live at The Deep aquarium. Swap both city and country for coast with a trip to Scarborough (35 minutes) for days on one (or two, or three…) of the beaches, a splash at the waterpark or peaceful ambles in the gardens. Filey (20 minutes) has another fine beach, and a clifftop golf course with cracking coastal views.
