  • Well-maintained site in scenic Yorkshire countryside
  • A five-minute drive from local village; 35 to Scarborough; 45 to York
  • Within 20 minutes' drive of the North York Moors; playground on site
‘The course of true love never did run smooth, but breaks at Midsummer Caravan and Camping do’ … is what Shakespeare probably would have said if he’d ever stayed at this site five minutes’ drive from pretty Yorkshire village Thornton-le-Dale and 10 minutes from Malton. This is camping at its most peaceful. Not only is the site in scenic countryside, but it is also has a children's playground and lots of open green space. Low noise rules apply between 10.30pm and 8am to make sure that staying here is a pleasant experience for all. Dog parents can certainly bring their furry kid along for the trip (although no more than one dog is allowed per pitch), and there’s a large field alongside the River Syme for walkies if cabin fever sets in. If riverside strolls don’t quite cut it, the site’s well placed for longer jaunts: there are a handful of signposted circular walks of varying lengths around Thornton-le-Dale, and North York Moors National Park is less than 20 minutes away for lengthier and more challenging hikes, as well as cycle trails, horse riding and gliding.

What customers say

This family-friendly spot has clean amenities, including spotless restrooms and showers, and a great playground. New owners are actively improving it. Some guests noted water quality/odor issues, and a few found restrooms lacking at peak times. Arrival signage could be better.

Liked Pitch size was good

Disliked Facilities were poor. Had to take our own toilet paper to toilet and floor collapsing in toilet block. Recycling bins were overflowing and looked like they hadn’t been emptied for a while.

Liked Pitch is tidy, spacious and site looks nice

Disliked Absolutely no drinking water despite water sources at every pitch and some of these saying drinking water. Water is cloudy and smells strongly of sulphur. Looking back at website it does say no drinking water and this was something I missed when booking, so thats on me. The facilities were filthy and the water smells so strong its really unpleasant to shower in and leaves a residue on your skin.
When calling to book in Anne was quite abrupt and irritated by the call and was really unhelpful when we called about the water quality and asked if maybe it was contaminated and said it would be looked into but nothing was done.

Liked Small site with large pitches. Play area for kids.

Disliked Electric kept on getting turned off through the night. Smell of the water in shower. Entrance and exit to the site. Tight bend, low, rockery that can cause damage to tourers.

Local attractions

What’s a holiday without sea, sand and (hopefully) sun? Luckily, no one has to find out here: the site’s 35 minutes’ drive from sandy stretches at the seaside resort towns of Scarborough and Whitby, so be sure to pack bucket, spade and (for the brave) a swimming cossie for when beach days beckon. There’s more to both than splashing about too. History buffs may be drawn to Whitby, where Bram Stoker was inspired to create some of Dracula’s integral scenes and where the stunning Whitby Abbey sits, waiting to be explored. Down the coast, Scarborough has a castle, museums, golf courses and gardens, as well as the Scarborough Fair Collection of showman’s engines. For more vintage vibes, time stays to coincide with the monthly Mattewsons Classic Car Auction (check dates before travelling), then spend the rest of your break touring stately homes: Scampston Hall and Gardens is 15 minutes away, Burton Agnes Hall and Sewerby Hall and Gardens are both within 50 minutes, and the stunningly cinematic Castle Howard is just 20 minutes from the site. As there are no kids to take care of, you can feel free to spend a few hours touring the Great Yorkshire Brewery (20 minutes' drive) and the Spirit of Yorkshire single-malt whisky distillery (40 minutes) – and picking up a tipple for later – before heading into York (45 minutes) for a night on the town.
