  • Scenic family-run farm site in the North York Moors National Park
  • A 10-minute drive from Runswick Bay; 20 minutes from Whitby
  • Vending machine with pies, sandwiches, cakes and milkshakes
From setting sail from a local harbour and paddling down at the beach to riding steam trains and wandering round abbey ruins, you’ll be able to mix and match your activities around North Yorkshire’s countryside and coastline at Woodhill Camping. This family-run site is part of a working livestock and arable farm in the North York Moors National Park, 10 minutes’ drive away from Runswick Bay and 20 minutes from Whitby. The location here is a real selling point – as well as seaside jaunts, there are lots of lovely walking and cycling routes in the surrounding area. There are gorgeous views of the moors, hills and dales too… and yet it’s only about half a mile from the A171 for a convenient link to nearby attractions. And there's another selling point, in the form of the on-site vending machines. These are not your everyday vending machines, though… these ones can provide you with pies, sandwiches, milkshakes, cakes and fresh milk, plus hot drinks. There are also farm eggs and potatoes for sale (and you can get fizzy drinks and chocolate bars too if you want). Ice creams or seafood specialties on your brain? Well, this site is well positioned for more tasty local produce. Lealholm is five minutes’ drive away, with a café, pub and village shop (and some cute stepping stones) and there are several more pubs within 10 minutes’ drive of the site. Dirty plates after all these eating escapades? There’s a covered washing-up area on site. Other facilities include toilets and showers.

lee w. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Friendly owner, great service, good facilities, lovely flat grassed area, pitch was a substantial size. Shower were hot, toilets clean and tidy. Also provided other services such as fire pit, marshmallow kit, logs and wind breaker hire/sales. Chickens wondering free and lambs come to say hello on opposite side of the fence, obviously 😂

Use of two fridge freezers on site (items left at owners risk) which I think is a great idea (if you have trust in people)…

Disliked: Set off the main road a little bit so car journeys are required to get to places but other than that I have no more dislikes.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: This is a great campsite, with large pitches on a spacious and well-maintained grassy field, with good basic facilities and lots of space for the kids to play and run around. It's well located, ten minutes drive from the beach at Sandsend and with lots of nearby walks on the moors.

Local attractions

To the coast… Runswick Bay (10 minutes' drive) is a good place to start – this cute village has a scenic beach with space for swimming, fishing and crabbing, plus consistent waves for the surfers among you. Sandsend and Staithes are both 15 minutes’ drive away, or it's 20 minutes to Whitby, for the abbey ruins and the 199 Steps, plus boat trips and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. Looking a little further afield, you could head along the coast a bit more to Scarborough (40 minutes) for a waterpark, Sea Life Centre and another steam railway, or turn inland to explore Malton (50 minutes), often described as Yorkshire’s food capital. For family days out, try the likes of Flamingo Land Resort (40 minutes), with a theme park and zoo, or Eden Camp Modern History Museum (50 minutes), bringing the history of World War II to life with exhibits in a former prisoner of war camp.
