  • Peaceful adults-only site on the edge of North Riding Forest Park
  • Scarborough 25 minutes’ drive; Castle Howard half an hour
  • Dogs welcome; five minutes’ walk from the nearest pub
Explore the splendid landscapes of North Yorkshire from the leafy, peaceful surrounds of Coachman Caravan Park. This is an adults-only site, so you will have to leave the kids with their grandparents for a few days. However, do bring your four-legged companions along – not only are they welcome here, but they will likely wag their tails in utter delight at the prospect of epic walkies, whether on the moors (15 minutes’ drive) or on beaches like Cayton Bay (25 minutes). Sitting just off the A170, on the outskirts of the village of Snainton, Coachman Caravan Park has spacious hardstanding and grass pitches. Each pitch comes with its own water and electric hook-up, as well as a night lamp, so you won’t have to don that rather unsexy head torch if you want to read before bed… There’s also a well-maintained toilet and shower block (housed in a Yorkshire stone building). There’s heaps to do in the area for active types: from golfing (a nine-hole course is a five-minute drive away), to fishing and watersports at Wykham Lake (15 minutes); and that’s without taking into account the hiking and biking trails in North Riding Forest Park (15 minutes). Barbecues are allowed; however, with a traditional pub serving home-cooked food right next door, why would you bother? There’s another couple of restaurants in the village, along the A170 (about 10 minutes on foot), or you can head to Scarborough (25 minutes) for fish and chips on the beach.

What customers say

Small, clean, peaceful adults-only site with neat pitches & spotless facilities. Close to a top pub. Good base for exploring, with easy bus links. Some booking issues caused unlevel pitches, cramped spaces & safety distance worries. Road noise a slight issue for some.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Just the fact it had no kids. Quiet location miles from anything.

The guy that greats you was polite and does a good job keeping the grass, bushes etc tidy.

Disliked Made the mistake of not reading the reviews before we booked.

No pitch is anywhere near level. The toilets/showers had dead spiders and things just hanging in cobwebs. It got a little crowded on the weekend with a van just squeezed in next to us having no electric to plug into and where using the water from our pitch, then as they left the next morning left their rubbish near our caravan which I cleaned up.

It's fine for 1 or two nights max but comparing it to others we've been to its way off the mark, not value for money for £35 a night.

A gorgeous, quiet and peaceful little campsite.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Peaceful site with close proximity to a pub which sells great food. The pitch was spacious and the site was very clean. Easy cycle to Scarborough and on a bus route to Pickering.

Disliked Only 2 toilets and showers which is fine if it quiet but may be tricky if it gets busy.

Local attractions

Climb the green headland at Scarborough for views of the two wide sandy beaches, then follow the Sea Wall Heritage Trail to learn about the town’s history. Bookworms might want to pay tribute to novelist Anne Brontë, who is buried at St Mary’s Church, while some might prefer to catch a show at the Scarborough Spa. Castle Howard (half an hour's drive) might look familiar even if you’ve never been there before. It’s not a case of déjà-vu, though: it’s just that the house has been used as a location for TV dramas like ‘Victoria’ and ‘Bridgerton’. Its grounds include a walled garden, plus elegant fountains and lakes. ​ In the fishing town of Whitby (40 minutes), the atmospheric clifftop ruins of an abbey (accessed via the puff-inducing 199 Steps) are said to have inspired author Bram Stoker to write ‘Dracula’. Visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum, then cross the River Esk to see the Whalebone Arch, the ideal frame for a selfie against the background of the town.
