  • Rural North Yorkshire site over five acres, with great views
  • A 10-minute drive from Northallerton and North York Moors
  • Communal campfire area and fire baskets on site; pub half a mile away
A bit of quiet countryside chilling out or all sorts of North Yorkshire adventures – Sentry Circle Camping, three miles from Northallerton, is a fine spot for either (or a bit of both…) This rural site has the quite the history behind it – its name comes from the ancient stone circle in one of its fields, and its local village, Brompton, is the agreed location of the Battle of the Standard in 1138 (and also where local militia gathered ahead of the 1303 campaign to retake Scotland). These days it’s a much quieter place, where you shouldn’t find any swords getting in the way of your trip along a footpath to get to its shop and pub half a mile away. If you’ve come here in search of outdoor activities, you should find plenty of those in the North York Moors (10 minutes’ drive) and Yorkshire Dales (25 minutes) national parks – or perhaps on the Coast to Coast Walk, which passes a little under two miles away. Golf, horse riding and fishing are all easily accessed nearby too for a change of rural activity. Back at base, pitches are spread out over five acres of open fields, with plenty of space to run about and play games. Keeping warm later in the day requires a campfire, of course – and you can sort this by either settling down at the communal campfire pit or borrowing individual fire baskets to build your own blaze. Kiln dried logs are available to purchase on site. There is no wifi on site, meaning that guests can leave their emails behind and focus on kicking back and admiring the view.

What customers say

A chill, lekker campsite with heaps of space, awesome views, and a cool stone circle. Basic but clean facilities with hot water. Staff are super helpful. Some find it sloped, and there's a bit of road noise, but most reckon it's great value and peaceful. Proper back-to-basics, and folks wanna come back!

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked This is a very relaxed site, the owner is lovely, very friendly and even gave us some wedges to use as the ground is on a slope. The views were beautiful! Well worth a visit and very well priced. I haven't rated the facilities as we didn't use them.

Adrian B.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Big open space so everyone was well separated. Fairly quiet, a little traffic noise caused by a diversion on the A19 and someone playing some music but they stopped and the traffic quietened down. Facilities were adequate, and clean. The lady at reception was helpful and explained everything quite well. The standing stone circle was interesting and after the climb up to it you had a wonderful view of the countryside. Quite close to the A1 for a stop during a trip to or from the Highlands.

Disliked The site slopes and I found it difficult to find a spot suitable for a tent. Fine for motorhomes and campervans with ramps.

From the manager: thank you for taking the time to review - we hope the rest o your trip went well .See you again !

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked de view was really nice

Disliked The whole field had a a slope, could barely find a flat bit

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Sorry you didn't like the site , and left before pitching up for the night , which you advised us was due to the amount of children playing about . We love that our wide open pitches give plenty of space for families to be together , play ball games etc and enjoy the outdoors .

Great clean site

Joanne J.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Very spacious field, hot water and drinking water available and space to wash your own pots.

Disliked We wished there could have been a children's park or play area for anything for them to do, seems camp fire are reserved for favourites/regulars and also a drone kept hovering over us most of the day/night which I found very strange and made me feel uneasy as we had children.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for leaving the review. We are a back to basics campsite and as such don't offer any additional facilities for children to play in other than the big open space of the campsite. Apologies you weren't able to get a fire pit it was a busy weekend and our fire pits are a first come first served for people buying logs or those who have pre-booked logs and fire pits. We would have really valued you letting us know about a drone being intrusive as this would have enabled us to discuss this with the drone owners.

Good campsite very friendly…

Local attractions

Aiming for lots of outdoor activities? Osmotherley (10 minutes’ drive) is a good place to head for – it’s the starting point for lots of trails in the North York Moors National Park, including the Lyke Wake Walk. For other options, there’s a golf course 10 minutes’ drive away, or a bit of angling at Stonebridge Fishing Lakes (20 minutes’ drive) or you can ride out of a horse trekking centre (25 minutes). For more leisurely days, potter around the indie shops in Northallerton (10 minutes), explore the National Trust site at Mount Grace Priory (10 minutes) or head to the stately home Kilpin Hall (20 minutes). The Forbidden Corner (45 minutes) is another fabulous place to visit – the four-acre garden is full of unusual bits and pieces including statues, follies, a huge pyramid and a ‘path to nowhere’. All of this will probably keep you busy for quite some time, but if you need more ideas, it’s worth noting that it’s only a 25-minute drive to the Yorkshire Dales National Park…
