  • 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 is a clean, well-maintained site with friendly, helpful owners. Guests loved the spotless facilities, good location, and peaceful atmosphere. Plenty of space, a nice kids' play area. A few noted potential toilet shortages at peak times and occasional water taste issues. Many want to return!

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Nice big pitches and great to have water as well as why on each pitch.

Disliked Could do with a few signs to locate grey waste and Elson point. Too many kids running across pitches and climbing over the fence into the camping area.

Disliked Water had an odd smell, already explained in previous reviews, too many people and not enough loos and showers in peak season/summer holidays, bit of a free for all in tent area and large groups of people taking a lot of space.

Charlie M.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked We loved this site, signs displayed for when arrive to ring a number. The lady on the phone was lovely and let us pick our pitch as she knew we had kids to let us be close to the park. The park had lots to do and my kids loved it. Thornton-le-Dale is only down the road too and the kids loved the ice cream and chocolate shop.

There was a man there all week keeping on top of the site, cleaning the park, picking up any rubbish, cleaning toilets and showers. He done an excellent job.

Only downfall was the water was a bit funny (slimy) and I wouldn’t recommend drinking it even though there was a sign on the pitch tap saying drinking water. However on pitchup.com it is stated it wasn’t drinking water and we did bring our own.

Generally disappointed mainly due to the water supply on site.

Liked Pitch well kept and clean.

Disliked Running water on site - was told this had been sent off for testing but results had not come back and to assume it is not safe for human consumption. Water was cloudy, felt slimey and smelt like rotten eggs.

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.
