  • Peaceful site with stunning views of the Yorkshire Wolds
  • Half an hour's drive from York and 45 minutes from Bridlington
  • Well-stocked farm shop and café on site
In need of scenic hols, with a market town just down the road and hills and beaches within easy reach… and some excellent eats to hand right on site? Travel along to The Mile Caravan Park, less than five minutes’ drive from Pocklington in East Yorkshire – this is a splendid spot for all the above. These scenic surrounds are half an hour from York and within an hour of the seaside towns and beaches of Bridlington and Scarborough; closer to home, hiking and walking trails through the scenic Yorkshire Wolds can be joined within five minutes. A riding club is 10 minutes away if peaceful horseback ambles fit the mood, and there’s a gliding club in the village when nothing will do but seeing it all from the air. Be sure to make some time for a couple of lazy site days too, as you'll surely won't want to miss out on the farm shop and Smile Café… Can’t get enough of that food? Call into the farm shop to stock up on local artisan produce including beer, cider, jam, chutney, chocolate and cheese.

Liked Everything about the site. Dog-friendly, large pitches, quiet yet welcoming and the facilities were good. The location was great, within walking distance of the shops and pubs of Pocklington and with a great on-site café too. We'll be going back.

Liked Lovely quiet site.
Nice dog walking area.
In walking distance to the Lovely Pockington town where you can get a bus to York or Hull.
Few cafes, pubs to sit outside and enjoy the weather.
Enjoyed seeing the horses and goats in the field.
Toilets and showers very clean.
Barrier to get in so a very secure site.

Disliked Our only dislike was shared toilets but other than that lovely visit, would come back.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked We recently stayed at this lovely little campsite with our touring caravan and had such a wonderful experience. The site itself is small and cute, which made it feel peaceful—perfect for a relaxing getaway.

The toilets and facilities were clean throughout our stay, which we really appreciated.
What made it extra special, though, were the animals! There were two beautiful horses in the nearby field who would occasionally come up to the gate—we were lucky enough to give them a stroke a few times. There were also two cheeky goats who kept us entertained. The owner was so kind, she gave me and my little boy some bread to feed them, along with telling us a bit about their personalities.

Our only wish was for a small children’s play area, my little boy befriended 2 children and there was nowhere for them to play and we had to be mindful of them getting too close to other caravans and motorhomes.

We would definitely return and highly recommend this site to anyone looking for a peaceful break.

Local attractions

If long-distance routes like the Way of the Roses, the Minster Way and the Yorkshire Wolds Way are a tad too tough, there are easier wanders closer to the site. Follow the footpath that passes the site as far as Pocklington Wood (a 20-minute walk or three-minute drive) for a circular route that’s well suited to walkers, or get behind the wheel for the 10-minute trip to Millington Woods and Millington Pastures. Further slow-paced activity can be found with a day’s fishing at Conifer Lake or Allerthorpe Lakes, while those in search of something a little more energetic can stick to Allerthorpe for canoeing, kayaking, swimming, sailing and paddleboarding, and some time splashing around the inflatables in the aquapark. History buffs might get their adrenaline in a different way… Trips to the Yorkshire Air Museum and Eden Camp give an insight into life during the world wars; after that, make a stop at the deserted medieval village of Wharram Percy. Craving an urban day? The museums, ghost tours, breweries and shops of York are half an hour away, and Hull’s aquarium, Old Town and Arctic Corsair museum are 40 minutes from base.
