Well-maintained, peaceful Yorkshire park 10 minutes’ drive from Whitby
Robin Hood’s Bay five minutes’ drive and Scarborough half an hour
Restaurant and bar on site, plus a play area and dedicated dog park

Set in 10 acres of stunning North Yorkshire moors countryside, York House Caravan Park is just 10 minutes’ drive from Whitby – you can actually see the Gothic abbey from the touring pitches – and has a variety of accommodation options designed to suit all budgets and styles of camping. This spacious site in the small village of Hawsker appeals to both couples and families – and it must be doing something right, as guests come back year after year. There are two play areas for kids, and also plenty of opportunities for gentle strolls and relaxing in peaceful surroundings – it’s a canine-friendly place too, with a dedicated dog-walking field. On-site facilities include a well-maintained shower block, a washing-up and laundry room – and – saving the best for last – a bar and restaurant for those days when you just don’t feel like catering for yourselves. There’s also a local pub five minutes’ walk away, which serves delicious home-cooked food and a good selection of drinks. From the site, it’s easy to access the Cinder Track, a 21-mile path along the disused railway from Whitby to Scarborough. Leaving the car behind on your adventures? There is a good bus service from Hawsker to Scarborough in one direction and Middlesborough the other.

Paul w. Apr 2024

Electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Bar/cafe. Showers.

Disliked: Pitch was so small I had to put my car wheels onto the grass even though I was asked not to, the toilet stalls were so small you could have played footsie with the next stall and for some unknown reasons the toilet roll holder was directly behind you making it very awkward to use. Electric on a card is a pain.

Electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Easy to find. Reasonably well laid out. The pitch's gradient meant it was not straightforward getting the van onto the ramps as the gravel offered little or no grip for the tyres. Facilities were adequate and functional. No issues encountered during the stay.

Electric optional grass tent pitch (large)

Liked: The reception staff are very helpful, and the site is well managed. We were moved pitches before arrival as an assessment had been made on the ground conditions, which was great. The shower block etc we’re brilliant. They were clean, warm, and the showers were fantastic.

Disliked: The bar could be open for more hours, but maybe this is the case in the summer. The play areas could do with flooring, as they were very boggy. Again, summer I imagine is lovely
