  • Serviced touring pitches at a North York Moors working family farm
  • A 25-minute drive to Whitby; Rievaulx Abbey 40 minutes
  • Within walking distance of pubs, shop, bakery and railway station
There are lots of scenic spots in the North York Moors National Park – but how about staying in a location described by one former guest as ‘so beautiful, I almost cried’? And that's just one of the many enthusiastic reviews for Congrave Farm Holidays… The views here are indeed fabulous, looking out over Danby Dale and with gorgeous greenery all around. But the scenery isn't the only selling point at this site – previous guests at this working family farm have also heaped praise on friendly and helpful owner Becky and noted how clean and tidy the small site is. The location helps a lot, too – because, despite those fabulous rural views giving the place a ‘middle-of-nowhere' vibe, it's only about a 15-minute walk from the village of Danby, home to a bakery, a shop and a railway station as well as two pubs. Danby Lodge National Park Centre is about a half-hour walk away for an adventure playground, a café and walking trails. Being within the national park means this is a great location for all sorts of outdoor activities, including hiking, cycling and wild swimming. It's also an International Dark Sky Reserve so you can expect glittering displays on clear nights. And there's also the option of a day at the coast, as it's a 15-minute drive to Runswick Bay or 25 minutes to Whitby. Back at base, it’s a simple setup that's geared to tourers so there are no toilets or showers for guest use. Spacious pitches each have a water and electric hookup, and shared facilities include a chemical disposal point and a rubbish/recycling area.

What customers say

This lovely, quiet, well-kept small site offers amazing country views. Spacious, full hookup sites include a picnic table. Walk to two pubs & a train station for easy exploration. Owners are consistently praised. Many enjoy the lack of Wi-Fi/cell signal for a digital detox. Grass pitches can be uneven; no on-site toilets/showers (clearly stated).

Disliked Didn't stay as it looked like a ring fenced small area next to the road which doesn't show on pitch up, nice view I guess! Small pitches and toilet or shower, shame we couldn't get a refund 😞

Liked What a little gem of a site.
Owners were very accommodating eventhough they were busy bale wrapping when we arrived, could not do enough for you. Giving lots of cuddles to our young collie pup 😉
The views are very relaxing looking over the moors.
Gentle walk to both of the two pubs with good food ... very much on our return list .. . Give it a try you won't be disappointed 🤎

Liked Loved where it is based very quiet if you like that and the village was great especially the local pub where you can get food a bit pricey but if you are willing to pay it its worth the money.

Disliked No Internet at all at the campsite only in the village pub.

FHU grass and earth travel trailer campsite

Liked Great views, site clean and tidy, Becky (the owner) was lovely, site close to Ainthorpe and Danby which had pubs and shops (easy and walkabout on footpath from the site). Site benefits from being fully serviced pitches. We will be returning. No WiFi or phone signal

Disliked Absolutely nothing!

Local attractions

Keen to hike? You’ve come to the right area, as there are lots of trails to choose from – with one of the closest being Danby Beacon (five minutes' drive), a historical spot that also happens to have sweeping views across the moors. Captain Cook's Monument (20 minutes) is another top choice, with fine views from the top of Easby Moor; if you're up for a bit of scrambling, The Wainstones (35 minutes) may be the place for you. If that all sounds a little exhausting, how about a ride on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway? There are several stations to choose from, but Goathland (half an hour) is particularly popular because of its starring role in the Harry Potter films. Alternatively, take a wander around the ruins of Rievaulx Abbey (40 minutes). Over at the coast, favourite spots include Whitby (25 minutes), for its Gothic abbey, 199 Steps and Captain Cook Museum, and the cute fishing village of Robin Hood's Bay (35 minutes).
