  • Paddock pitches behind a Georgian farmhouse in rural North Yorkshire
  • A 10-minute drive to Castle Howard, and 20 minutes to historic York
  • Back-to-basics camping for adults only, 10 minutes' walk from a pub
Elegant, Georgian-era Lilling Hall Farm is in a rural setting surrounded by peaceful North Yorkshire countryside. With just a few pitches on its paddock, this adults-only spot makes a convenient base for nature lovers, walkers and cyclists who like to mix up their holidays with a dollop of history and culture. The level grass camping field has mature trees for shelter, and there are a couple of seating areas in secluded corners of the garden where you can relax on sunny days. The friendly site owners are happy to dole out teas and coffees (and the occasional seasonal fruit or free-range egg) on your arrival, and chat about what you might do during your stay. You may get to watch horses being schooled during your stay (please note, due to the horses, no dogs are allowed on the site) – and thanks to the lack of light pollution in these parts, when clear, the night sky is awash with stars. Thornton-le-Clay village (10 minutes’ walk) has a couple of pubs, and there are many more to be discovered in surrounding villages, where you can rest up after a day’s adventure and enjoy good grub along with Yorkshire bitter. This is a back-to-basics site, albeit one in lovely surroundings, so please be aware that facilities are simple – including toilets, showers, chemical waste disposal and a wifi connection; there is no hot water outside

Liked: Small quiet camp field at owners home farm. Friendly helpful owner. Nice setting with fields and horses. Convenient indoor shower room accessed through courtyard of owners house.

Disliked: Would be handy to have hot water for washing up but it was stated as cold water only so we knew what to expect

Liked: Owners very welcoming and a site that is not too strict on where or how to pitch which is great. Facilities are very clean and the shower is lovely and easy to use. Maybe a toilet which was separate to the shower would be preferred but this would not spoil my stay or prevent me staying again. I loved the peace and quiet as its nice to get way from hustle and bustle of every day life. Local amenities are a short drive away which was not a problem. All in all had a great time and will book again.

Liked: This site was the perfect start to our week. We stayed at 6 sites across 6 nights, Lilling Hall Farm being our first stop. Owner was brilliant. Offered us a brew as soon as we got there and had a good chat about the site where they keep horses, some racing horses. The site is basic but that's nice sometimes. Some sites can be over the top. If you like peace then this site is for you!

Local attractions

If you’re keen to get into those hiking boots, Strensall Common (five minutes’ drive) has easy walks across heathland, while the North Yorkshire Moors National Park (10 minutes) has a whole host of hiking and cycling opportunities through gorgeous villages, as well as more strenuous routes across scenic moorland. All this wild countryside and yet such easy access to the historic city of York (20 minutes), with walks around its Roman walls, the vast minster to have a look around and indie shops to browse in narrow cobbled streets. Romantic Castle Howard (10 minutes) and its Capability Brown landscapes have plenty to keep you occupied, from rope courses to fascinating tours of the art treasure in the stately main house. You can also pick up the A64 at Flaxton Moor (five minutes) for day trips to legendary east-coast seaside resorts of Scarborough (55 minutes) and Bridlington (an hour), or pick up the North Yorkshire Moors Railway at Pickering (half an hour) and steam your way to Whitby (an hour) across the moors. Closer to home, fishing and golfing options are less than 15 minutes away by car.
