The Spinney Wild Camping

Tyckte om Wishing the world had a couple more people like Neil & Cherie. They’ve created a lovely, outdoor oasis, focusing on quality of experience. Where commercial campsites would easily host 2x the number of pitches, The Spinney makes sure everyone has a truly ‘wild’ camping experience which means plenty of room. Pocklington, the town nearby, has plenty of pubs & cafes so you get the best of both worlds.

Tyckte om Spinney Wild Camping place was really nice and upon arrival we were greeted by Neil and Cherie. They were very friendly and individually took us around to show talk us through the site layout and facilities (even directing us to where the sunset would be happening later that evening), as they did for everyone else staying there. They were helpful in providing a wheelbarrow for us to move our camping gear which was so useful to have.

We were there for a practice camping night close to home to try out new camping gear. The site was lovely with a choice of camping in the open meadow or in the wooded area for a bit of shade. It was nice and quiet as it’s got a maximum of 10 pitches allowed which makes the experience a lot more pleasant and personal as it’s not cramped or got too many people. It was good for the kids to play in the hammocks and the lounge area as well as with all the other kids of other people staying there.

The compost toilets were far better than any I’ve used before. For the cost of £25 a night it was very reasonably priced. Plus the hiring of the fire pit was only £10 and that included kindling, a bag of wood (which lasted us about 2 hours for our fire), a lighter, a heatproof glove, heatproof mat, and a bucket of water to keep any drinks cool.

Tyckte om A wonderful place with everything you need to relax. Beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. There’s a composting toilet, running water, and a shower. You can sit by the campfire while listening to the birds singing. The hosts were friendly and welcoming. Will definitely come back

Tyckte om We loved our stay at The Spinney wild camping, we had a Spacious, peaceful and pretty secluded pitch with a view of horses in the next field, everything was so well kept and nick and Cherie made sure we had a fantastic stay, making excellent recommendations, including Atlas sandwiches in pocklington and nearby walks and pubs. We would also recommend visiting pool bridge farm for an amazing wild swimming and sauna experience. We made use of the fire pit and the hammocks, there’s also a hot tub you can rent which we would consider doing in the future when we visit again.

Tyckte om Great location. The campsite was beautiful and peaceful. Clean and well maintained. The owners were really friendly and helpful. We had a lovely time here and enjoyed the walk along the canal to a local pub. We hired the hot tub and it was brilliant! We will be back again!

Från föreståndaren: Hello Calum thank you for the great review we are really glad you enjoyed your stay.
See you next time.

Tyckte om A great spot if you want that wild camping feel without being completely off-grid. Plenty of space, peaceful surroundings and a really relaxed atmosphere. Hiring a fire pit was a great touch and made the evening even better. Good facilities too: compost toilets, a warm shower tent, sinks for washing up, and even a urinal with a view. The hosts were friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they take real pride in the campsite. A proper little escape and somewhere I’d happily stay again.

Från föreståndaren: Thank you Adam for such a wonderful review we are looking forward to your return visit.

Tyckte om A wonderful hidden gem, with a great choice for where to pitch up your tent: under some sacred oak trees, or in a peaceful meadow. When you say "almost wild" camping then this is what is meant with that: compostable toilets, and just one water supply to freshen up.
Very friendly owner, who made us feel very welcome, and who was eager to tell about his campsite.
It was great to go to bed under the trees and wake up with robins singing their loudest songs.
As we only stayed one night we didn't need a campfire, but for a longer I am pretty sure it would have completed the magic of staying under the oaks. Definitely a place to remember and to come back to.
