  • Rural North Yorkshire site over five acres, with great views
  • A 10-minute drive from Northallerton and North York Moors
  • Communal campfire area and fire baskets on site; pub half a mile away
A bit of quiet countryside chilling out or all sorts of North Yorkshire adventures – Sentry Circle Camping, three miles from Northallerton, is a fine spot for either (or a bit of both…) This rural site has the quite the history behind it – its name comes from the ancient stone circle in one of its fields, and its local village, Brompton, is the agreed location of the Battle of the Standard in 1138 (and also where local militia gathered ahead of the 1303 campaign to retake Scotland). These days it’s a much quieter place, where you shouldn’t find any swords getting in the way of your trip along a footpath to get to its shop and pub half a mile away. If you’ve come here in search of outdoor activities, you should find plenty of those in the North York Moors (10 minutes’ drive) and Yorkshire Dales (25 minutes) national parks – or perhaps on the Coast to Coast Walk, which passes a little under two miles away. Golf, horse riding and fishing are all easily accessed nearby too for a change of rural activity. Back at base, pitches are spread out over five acres of open fields, with plenty of space to run about and play games. Keeping warm later in the day requires a campfire, of course – and you can sort this by either settling down at the communal campfire pit or borrowing individual fire baskets to build your own blaze. Kiln dried logs are available to purchase on site. There is no wifi on site, meaning that guests can leave their emails behind and focus on kicking back and admiring the view.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Really friendly people, relaxed check in and there was a solstice event on with fire and stalls, there seemed to be other events happening later in the summer too. The stone circle has a lovely view. Facilities are enough for what you need and they were kept clean all weekend

Disliked If you are camping in the second field don’t make the same mistake as me - look out for the small thistles before pitching or bring an extra ground sheet :)

From the manager: Ouch ! Thanks for taking the time to review , and glad you enjoyed your stay with us . See you again !

Lovely peaceful campsite, friendly owner and staff,well worth a visit!

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked The owner Derek was lovely and helpful, as were all of the staff. Nice little shop on site with a hippie clothing boutique, worth a look in! The site itself was peaceful and the views were absolutely gorgeous. Where I was pitched, the ground was sloped a little but it’s a field it’s not going to be dead flat is it? And it didn’t bother me one bit! Brought my own campfire which are allowed and bought a bag of logs from the site which was amazing value. I loved that the site had no electric or WiFi, it was such a nice time detoxing from my phone and being in nature. The vibe of the campsite was lovely, and as a new camper talking to others staying there who visit regularly and are experienced campers gave me so much great advice, everyone I came across was so helpful and nice. Can’t wait to book up again soon. Thank you!!

From the manager: aww, thank you anon . what a lovely review .We are a really friendly bunch here with most of our campers repeat visitors, some of whom have who've been coming for years . Welcome to the gang !

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked The owner greeting us warmly and there was a peaceful community vibe. The site is spacious and has a wide field of view of open countryside. Free to choose our pitches as a group and being able to have a decent campfire. Walking up the hill to the stone circle to take in the incredible views of the Cleveland Way. Good facilities, including showers and hot water. Also liked the on-site shop, worth a browse. A great spot to start walking the Cleveland Way to Saltburn.

From the manager: Thanks Suzanne , glad you all enjoyed your stay with us , I hope you had a successful hike :0)

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked What’s not to like lovely clean site, nice rural location, owner was very friendly will definitely be returning in the near future. Would recommend to anyone looking for a wild camping experience with on site toilets and shower. It’s nice to spend time without technology

Disliked Nothing

From the manager: Thanks Antony - we absolutely see the patchy mobile reception as an opportunity to kick back and enjoy the view ! See you again :0)

Local attractions

Aiming for lots of outdoor activities? Osmotherley (10 minutes’ drive) is a good place to head for – it’s the starting point for lots of trails in the North York Moors National Park, including the Lyke Wake Walk. For other options, there’s a golf course 10 minutes’ drive away, or a bit of angling at Stonebridge Fishing Lakes (20 minutes’ drive) or you can ride out of a horse trekking centre (25 minutes). For more leisurely days, potter around the indie shops in Northallerton (10 minutes), explore the National Trust site at Mount Grace Priory (10 minutes) or head to the stately home Kilpin Hall (20 minutes). The Forbidden Corner (45 minutes) is another fabulous place to visit – the four-acre garden is full of unusual bits and pieces including statues, follies, a huge pyramid and a ‘path to nowhere’. All of this will probably keep you busy for quite some time, but if you need more ideas, it’s worth noting that it’s only a 25-minute drive to the Yorkshire Dales National Park…
