  • Children’s playground; well-stocked bar with outdoor seating
There’s nothing snooty about The Snooty Fox, a welcoming and dog-friendly site with fully serviced touring pitches surrounded by the spectacular North Yorkshire countryside. The site sits just off the A64, a five-minute drive to the village of Sherburn and a 15-minute drive to the market town of Malton. Each gravelled pitch comes with its own well-maintained lawn, so you can relax with your feet on the grass while taking in far-reaching views of the hills and mapping out excursions in the local area. Maybe you prefer to do your planning in front of a pint of ale or a G&T – no problem, since The Snooty Fox has a well-stocked bar with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Meanwhile, chances are that the kids are already making new friends in the games room and the playground, with swings and a climbing structure with cargo nets and slides. What about games for the grown-ups? Well, there’s a couple of golf courses within a 10-minute drive and fishing at Don’s Pond (five minutes’ drive), or you can hit the wooded slopes of North Riding Forest Park (aka Dalby Forest; 25 minutes) for hiking and cycling trails. Family days at the seaside are within easy access, too: the beach at Filey (20 minutes) is a top spot for flying kites and building sandcastles, or you can head to Reighton Beach (25 minutes) to look for fossils in the cliffs. Birdwatchers have the choice of Filey Brigg (25 minutes) or RSPB Bempton Cliffs (35 minutes), part of the Flamborough Headland Heritage Coast. The site also has a toilet and shower facilities.

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Grounds are kept super tidy. Location - a good place to base yourself. Shower and toilet well kept, clean (unless you happened to follow someone in who quite clearly doesn’t understand leaving things how you find them!) Nice site if you’re completely independent in your set up. Lovely staff.

Disliked: Not a set up for a Campervan. No pot wash facilities or anywhere to empty grey waste (or that we could find) The toilet doors do not lock - either male or female (I see this has been mentioned before - several times) Cash only bar (personally we don’t carry cash - so missed out on an impromptu drink or 2) Only 1 bin on site - and again sadly others insisted on overfilling it so it was spilling over (note we took our rubbish with us so as not to add to the rubbish pile). It was cleared (placed behind a wall) I don’t wish to be negative because it was fine - it I hope the comments are taken on board to help improve the experience.

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Just off a64, but reasonably quiet. Has a bar on site. Didn't use the toilets/shower. Situated well for easy access to the coast

Disliked: If you don't want to drive then there's not much within walking distance. Lots of statics on site, so better suited to them rather than those travelling around

Local attractions

In addition to fragrant lavender fields and vast swathes of wildflowers, Woldies Lavender & Nature Farm (five minutes’ drive) has interactive games and guided nature trails for children, plus dog-friendly woodland walks. With pretty trails along the River Derwent, the town of Malton has become known as Yorkshire’s Food Capital thanks to its many independent restaurants, artisanal producers making all sorts of goodies (from bread to gelato), monthly markets and the Malton Food Lovers Festival, which takes place twice a year. After checking out the splendid stained-glass windows of the medieval Minster, take a stroll through the historic streets of York (40 minutes), checking out the cobbled Shambles for souvenirs. You can learn about the city’s past at the JORVIK Viking Centre or at the kid-oriented DIG: An Archaeological Adventure.
