  • Family-run site on the edge of a peaceful Holderness village
  • A 10-minute drive from Withernsea; Spurn Head 15 minutes
  • Just over half a mile from the coast and spectacular clifftop scenery
Heading to Holderness for a camping holiday? A bright idea indeed, as this peaceful part of the East Riding coast has spectacular scenery and is dotted with an array of pretty villages. Right in the middle of it all is Elm Tree Farm, a relaxed site in the quiet village of Holmpton. Location isn't everything, though, and Elm Tree Farm has a fair few other perks worth noting. For starters, the fact that the site is family-run (and by a dog-friendly family at that) means that you can expect a laidback, uncommercial approach to camping here. The facilities are in good shape too – a well-equipped washroom is on hand with a hot shower, toilet and washing-up facilities, plus little extras like a fridge and microwave that guests are free to use. It's kitted out technologically too, with USB ports for easy phone charging and free wifi across the whole site. Hot breakfast sandwiches can be ordered the night before for a tasty boost come morning, and on-site chickens mean fresh eggs are often available. Elm Tree Farm holds a full license and can introduce you to a wide range of local craft beers and ciders either on your pitch or in the site's gorgeous garden. Withernsea (10 minutes) is down the road for supermarkets and takeaways, while the popular village of Patrington (10 minutes) has award-winning fish and chips and cafés.

What customers say

A welcoming, family-run site with a peaceful, clean environment. Well-maintained facilities include a new shower block. Gina, the friendly owner, and the tranquil atmosphere are highlights. Great for exploring local beaches and villages. Breakfast sandwiches & local ales available. Entrance can be tight for larger vehicles.

From the manager: Mr Eyres
Thank you for your review. I’m sorry to read that you were not very happy with some elements of your stay and therefore do not think that our site gives good value for money (we are priced to match all the other camp sites in the area).
The site is a small, quiet, out of the way site (as clearly described) and caters for people who do not really want the facilities and activities of a bigger site. Having said that, I know that you and your lovely dog were very happy with being able to access our beautiful beach after only a short walk from the campsite.
In terms of paying extra for showers, I would challenge you to find a site anywhere where they are free of charge - especially when they are not metered in any way and there is always an abundance of hot water.
I’m sorry to see that you would not recommend us to other people to come and stay - I only hope my comments in response to your review will counteract this.

Local attractions

Pitching up here means being within striking distance of the sea pretty much throughout your stay, whether you're wandering down to the nearest cliffs (half a mile) or heading to further off spots like the windswept shores of Spurn National Nature Reserve and its discovery centre (15 minutes' drive) or the classic seaside resort of Bridlington (an hour). Also by the coast, Withernsea (10 minutes) has a range points of interest that ought to keep you amused for a good few hours, with an intriguing inland lighthouse that stands in the centre of the town and well-maintained amenities at the Pavilion Leisure Centre, where you can take a dip at the pool or work up a sweat at the gym. Further afield, Hull's Museums Quarter (40 minutes) will be of interest to anyone interested in archeology or William Wilberforce and the abolition of slavery. While in town, the kids won't want to miss the sea creatures housed at The Deep aquarium; if they've still got energy to burn after that you can always take them ice skating at the Hull Arena.
