  • Peaceful touring pitches in the North York Moors National Park
  • Whitby 15 minutes' drive away; 25 minutes to Robin Hood's Bay
  • Adults-only site with dogs permitted; easy access from A171
Can’t decide between a countryside location or being close to the coast? Bag yourselves a good bit of both with a stay at Burnt House Caravan Park. This peaceful family-run park is in the North York Moors National Park, so it’s surrounded by gorgeous rural scenery and has easy access to moorland walks, relaxed bike rides and other activities including fishing at Scaling Reservoir (five minutes' drive away). You may like to ride on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway for a good taste of the landscapes or perhaps challenge yourself to a steep clamber up Roseberry Topping. Or how about that coast trip? The North Yorkshire coast is only about five miles from the site, and being close to the A171 means you’ll be able to zip along to the popular town of Whitby in about 15 minutes by car. Staithes, Runswick Bay and Robin Hood’s Bay are all within easy reach too. The touring pitches here are for adults only, but dogs are allowed as long as they’re kept on leads at all times. Barbecues are permitted, and you can retreat to the games room for some indoor time if the weather’s not looking so good. Other facilities on site include a launderette, a wifi service, a chemical disposal point and bathrooms with showers and toilets.

What customers say

Mostly quiet, well-kept site near Whitby. Praised for peace, clean grounds, hot showers, and on-pitch hookups. Some find facilities basic/dated, though clean. Games room a hit. A few noted it wasn't child-free as advertised, and pitches can be small/uneven. WiFi's weak.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (maximum 7 metres)

Liked Lovely clean site, decent size pitches with clean and usable shower and toilet block. Water main on pitch, games room with pool table and table tennis. Nearest village only 15 min walk with pub in its centre. Office isn't manned but site warden is available if any problems arise.

Disliked Site seamed to be set up wrong, toilet block in the static area not the tourer area, elsan hidden between static caravans with no signage and blocked by car that uses the static.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (maximum 7 metres)

Liked Quiet. Plenty of hot water for the showers. Nearby for runswick bay, staithes and Whitby. Toilets and showers clean. Children who were on the camp weren’t too noisy

Disliked Toilets and showers dated. It said it was child free and no under 18s. Child on the next pitch to us and children staying in larger statics, even has a play park, so take the no under 18s stipulation with a pinch of salt

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (maximum 7 metres)

Liked Free games room with pool table, table tennis, DVDs and Books. Peaceful during midweek stays.

Disliked Touring pitches limited in size. Can't think why you pay extra for awning when you've paid for pitch? On arrival, reception not open and no welcome! But here's a map and I'll message warden. Met the warden as he was going about his normal duties. Tired communal areas and road noise is evident through the night. It's very limited for access to local amenities, you have to drive so arrive prepared.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (maximum 7 metres)

Liked Lovely site in a lovely location, peaceful and quiet. Owner was great at check in really helpful, came and saw us as we were setting up to make sure everything was ok as he was nipping of site for a short while.
The shower block was a little dated but the showers themselves were great, lovely and hot and you can regulate them yourself, no stupid stop start push button like on many sites.
Overall the site is great if your looking for peace and quiet and a great location

Disliked Shower block not cleaned every day and the touring pitches at the bottom of the park could do with tidying up they are very overgrown with weeds

Local attractions

You’ll be well positioned for walks in the North York Moors National Park here – there are plenty to choose from, but if you need a bit of help a good place to start is Danby Lodge National Park Centre (15 minutes’ drive). The distinctive hill of Roseberry Topping (25 minutes) is a popular place to walk, as is the rocky area around The Wainstones (45 minutes). Elsewhere nearby you can go coarse fishing at Scaling Reservoir (five minutes' drive), ride the North Yorkshire Moors Railway from Grosmont station (10 minutes) or dip into the area's history at Rievaulx Abbey (50 minutes). The Museum of Victorian Science (10 minutes) is a good option on a damp day. The coast isn’t far off either, so you may like to set off for the beaches at Runswick Bay (10 minutes), Staithes (15 minutes) or Robin Hood’s Bay (25 minutes). Whitby (15 minutes) is another great option, for its abbey, Captain Cook Memorial Museum and 199 Steps as well as the beach.
