  • Family-run East Yorkshire campsite 10 minutes’ walk from the beach
  • Withernsea five minutes’ drive and The Deep aquarium 35 minutes
  • No-frills site with well-kept grass pitches; pub in Hollym village
Looking for simple family camping, two fields – or 10 minutes’ walk – from a sandy east-coast beach? Bag your pitch at Hollym Country Camp, a family-run short-stay site in Yorkshire’s East Riding village of Hollym; it’s also handily located 35 minutes’ drive from The Deep aquarium at Hull, and five minutes from all the family attractions at Withernsea, so chances are you’ll never run out of things to do. As it’s pretty-much wild camping here, facilities on the well-kept and hedge-sheltered camping meadow (which has a wildlife pond for you all to explore) stretch no further than a basic toilet block and a supply of drinking water. You’ll need to fend for yourselves for anything else – and do pack a decent torch for wandering around after dark. Barbecues are allowed by the pitches (please bring your own gear), and there’s a large supermarket in Withernsea (five minutes’ drive) for stocking up on supplies. If you’ve no love for outdoor cooking, just have a wander down to the tea shop and pub at Hollym.

What customers say

Peaceful, well-kept spot for a quiet break. Friendly owners, a short stroll to Withernsea and the beach. Basic, clean facilities. Some noted no showers/hot water in toilets. Electric hook-up on some pitches. Good bus service nearby. Guests suggested more recycling and an extra loo.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Small site. Walking distance to beach although you have to be prepared to walk on the edge of a field (uneven terrain).
Also walked to Withernsea along a fairly quiet road.

Lynsey H.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The site was lovely and clean and the people who owned it greeted us and was really nice. The toilet area was nice and clean.

Disliked When we booked it said we could have fires, which is something that we make sure we can have when we booked. When we got there and asked we was told we couldn't have the fire, and that we could walk to the beach and have a fire there, we looked at the walk during the day and it wasn't the best route during the day, definitely wouldn't of liked doing it at night with 2 kids and a dog. We mentioned it to the owner and she explained why they no longer had fires on the site but it is something if we had known in advance we wouldn't have booked.
Also pitch size says unlimited (we didn't expect unlimited) but we was told it was quite busy on our second night so the pitches was very close together.
Bring your own toilet roll/hand soap etc as it's not provided like it is in some - not a problem but we would of preferred to know before arriving.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely quiet spot which is an easy cycle ride from the town of Withernsea or out to the beach. Very welcoming host and perfect for us to do the parkrun in Withernsea the following morning.

Disliked Be nice to have a shower of some sort but we knew that wasn't going to be the case and for one night it doesn't really matter!

Liked Laura was a fantastic and responsive host. She brought our dog treats every time she checked in with us. The camp is clean and well cared for. It was a close walk to the beach which is where we spent the majority of the time.

Local attractions

Withernsea (five minutes’ drive) has a sandy beach backed by a promenade and amusement arcades, and you can climb up to the top of the lighthouse for far-reaching views over the North Sea and Spurn Point. Summer concerts and festivals are held in the Valley Gardens, and Millennium Green Park has playgrounds for younger kids. Any bad-weather days can be happily spent in the Game King bowling alley or letting the kids loose in aqua discos at the Pavilion Leisure Centre. There are rays and sharks to watch in vast aquariums at The Deep (35 minutes), and you can turn the kids into budding Chris Packhams at Bugtopia Hornsea Zoo (35 minutes) as they handle reptiles and big hairy spiders (if they dare). In more sedate pursuits, delve into local history with a tour of the Cold War bunkers at RAF Holmpton (10 minutes), or step back in time in Hull’s Old Town, an historic, cobbled quarter with horse-drawn carriages on display in the Streetlife Museum and exhibits on the abolition of slavery at Wilberforce House.
