  • 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, 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, 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. On Friday and Saturday nights from 6pm to 9pm, grab your dinner back on site; takeaway pizzas are available. Dirty plates after all these eating escapades? There’s a covered washing-up area on site. Other facilities include toilets and showers.

What customers say

This campground gets rave reviews for roomy, level spots and a welcoming owner. Clean facilities, milkshakes, coffee, and snacks from vending machines are hits. While the peaceful rural setting is great for exploring, more restrooms would be ideal when busy. Many guests highly recommend and want to return.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Great site, lovely outlook over the dales, lots of room for kids to play safely, large pitches. The added touches were lovely, from fire pits available, wood fired pizzas and vending machines with snacks and local produce, coffees and my children loved the milkshake machine, delicious!! Fridge freezers available to use, brilliant idea, we managed without electric but there is a socket in the shop to charge phones or blow up air beds. The toilets and showers were spotless!! We will definitely book this site next year.

Cosy shepherd's hut

Liked Beautiful campsite. Owner very accommodating. Booked firepit which was lovely. Amenities such as vending machine, with lovely pies, milk shakes and pizzas served 6-9 p.m were an added bonus. Showers toilets - excellent. Nearby village of Lealholm was idyllic. Glorious place.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Simple, clean and very well priced. The field was perfect for pitching. Pizzas were good and the milkshakes were very tasty. Liz was very helpful throughout. They offer fire pits and/or logs, marshmallow kits.

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.
