About The Hideaway at Baxby Manor
This is a special, peaceful and restful place, the kind of retreat from the stresses of daily life that is hard to find. It's ideal for keen walkers and cyclists, and close to Yorkshire's attractions, situated on the edge of the North York Moors National Park. Your setting is the woodland attached to a spectacular medieval manor - one that dates back to The Doomsday Book. This historic building is by the edge of Husthwaite village, a few miles from the market towns of Thirsk and Easingwold. This is the place for camping, campfires, and escaping to the countryside. Pitches are sheltered, level and spacious and many include 10 amp electric hook up for tents. There are areas reserved for adults and also areas where the whole family can stay - the best of both worlds, amongst a total of 37 grass pitches each allowing up to six people. The Hideaway has a strong environmental ethos that it maintains in all that it does. The site plays host to stunning wildlife and tranquil areas of unspoilt nature - it's a beautiful, natural environment. Glampers have a wide range of quirky and tempting options here, including dog free and dog friendly options. Dogs can stay in selected Hoglet Houses, which include real beds and hassle free shelter for those who want to enjoy some home comforts in the wild. If you love the magic of the countryside, you'll adore these pods. These include a round door and inside real beds along with quirky furniture and a cosy stove. The luxurious treehouse is beautifully secluded with views over the neighbouring moors. It sleeps six and is set among ancient trees, with fabulous features such as a hot tub and a secret slide to a hidden den... This is the perfect place to immerse in nature which is why there is a quiet policy after 10pm and it's asked music is only played through headphones. Sorry, dogs cannot stay in the treehouse.
Camping and glamping units are available between April until October, the treehouse is open all year.
Site facilities, shared by campers and glampers apart from those in the treehouse, include a modern, heated toilet and shower block with privacy cubicles and a disabled toilet and shower. A biomass boiler is used to heat the water for your showers, supporting the site's eco ethos.
There is also an indoor pot-wash and food preparation room including communal fridge and freezer. An on-site shop sells eco products and local produce. There is a book swap provided. The treehouse has access to a private hot tub.
Lighting at The Hideaway is minimal and uses LEDs. On site, The Pizza Shack on-site makes homemade pizzas, breakfast pastries and butties, and fresh coffees.

High quality glamping. A perfect treat for a special birthday; decided to book a new Kabina - very happy indeed. Super, tasteful interior, luxurious bedding and towels - well equipped kitchen, including logs for the fire pit too. Nestled in unspoilt nature, lovely walking around the site especially exploring the Sanctuary, sampling the Pizza Shack woodfired pizzas and this being superb quality, complimented with fresh morning pastries and coffee - such a treat. The hot tub was lovely and the covered seating area was fab for lounging around. Would highly recommend coming here, the top tips from Barney for the area to visit and explore were an added bonus and close by & the village 'Plum & Partridge' was super too. We will be back, and would not hesitate and have already recommended this super site and Barney's team who were incredible too, ensuring our stay was top notch - thank you again!

Perfect gem. Great-sized pitches with plenty of space between each pitch. The site is exceptionally clean, with a great recycle-reuse ethos. Pot wash area inside, which is a bonus with fridges to use if needed. There is a drying room which is a great idea for airing off towels etc. The attention to detail to make your stay comfortable has been well thought through. Lots of space for kids to run around and play. A great bonus is the pizza shack, which is amazing. All staff are very accommodating. If you are looking for a quieter site, then I would highly recommend the hideaway, you will not be disappointed.
